GDT: WCSF GM05 | Vancouver Canucks vs Edmonton Oilers | Thur. May 16th | 7pm PST | SNP/CBC | So Tight, Almost Like a Playoff Series

If they can somehow win this game despite this officiating, I will never doubt them again.

 

[StickShift]

For some reason, I don’t think the refs have any interest in evening up the calls.

 

[ProviesGhost]

That stretch pass to their blue line, then hitting a guy coming into the middle looks new

 

[God]

i'm still flabbergasted at that call. i've seen pettersson do that play countless times. i've seen other players do it too. zero shot that's a penalty.

we continue to get reffed like we're the road team. and of course, mcdavid's dogshit dives get all the attention and his slash on miller is apparently just fine.

 

[Nomobo]

Off to work, win da turd boys!

Have a nice day!

 

[Jyrki]

If he isn’t too expensive I would really like to re-sign Lindholm

Sweeney is going to give him a retirement contract, no chance sadly

 

[Ozone]

 

[Sedinery]

Win da turd

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

This game has become a must win for us. We've somehow held on despite the refs handing out bullshit penalties one after another.

Keeping the Oilers off the PP is a gift. So let's kill them!

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

I like how most ppl in the main boards are pilling on the coilers.

That fanbase is just unbearable.

Same thing happened to the Canucks in 2011. Oilers have too much talent to resort to the antics they pull.

Although, that team would bitchslap this Oilers roster.

 

[VanJack]

Probably one of Vancouver's best periods of these Cup playoffs...unlucky not to have the lead. If they could ever stop taking brain-dead penalties, they might be able to keep the momentum going.

But a 2-2 tie entering the third; and with the series tied at two, it doesn't get much better than that. Far more pressure on Edmonton than Vancouver.

 

[Bertuzzzi44]

This is the most one side game of these playoffs, wow the Canucks are all over them, time to burry a couple in the 3rd! 5-2 Vancouver!!

 

[Rotang]

LMAO, didn't see this on the US broadcast.

 

[Leif Rohlin]

Petey is so back.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

For some reason, I don’t think the refs have any interest in evening up the calls.

Nope. Right now they’re going “f***, it hasn’t worked. What should we do? Might as well keep trying the thing that always works”.

f***ing corrupt BS. Sutherland level screw job attempt, here.

They’re not actually that bad. It’s just the snaggletooths that post on this forum

 

[AwesomeInTheory]

I don't remember Lemieux, Orr, Gretzky, diving like this. It's what sets McDavid apart from these other alltime greats.

Gretzky got a lot of similar criticism, particularly early on in his career.

 

[SillyRabbit]

Canucks are carrying the puck into the Oilers zone and looking for chances instead of just dumping and chasing, and it's generating a lot more shots.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Need an early goal here to keep the fans roaring and drive them back.

 

[Jay26]

And full credit to Pettersson! He has brought it tonight. Maybe the guy just really needed a pick me up. It was really heartwarming too see the fans cheering him on!

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Three words. Spoken with a French Canadian accent.

WIN DA TURD!

 

[beckstreaker07]

Great period by the Canucks but hate to see the beer cans thrown on the ice; even with all the brutal calls.

 

[DiggerDan]

Keep it going boys. These lines work, literally and figuratively. The grind needs to continue though. We need to continue to be grittier and more physical to overcome the high end skill. Combine that with a result from the efforts and we'll be OK.

 

[Lawzy]

Extremely suspect reffing aside, great period.
