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

[Ghost of Murph]

Watch them send in Kelly Sutherland for game 6

That would be brutal. One of the absolute worst.

 

[Three On Zero]

I think they over playing him but he has to cover Miller there with barely any time left

McDavid is the coach, he plays however much he wants to. We’ve seen it with numerous coaches now, they don’t control the bench

 

[Hamilton Bulldogs]

Been a great series.

Oilers need McDavid to put it into another gear if they want to win it.

 

[Dust]

Game 6 should be another good one on Saturday night. I hope they keep alternating wins, at least until game 7

 

[22Brad Park]

Been a great series. All one goal games. Hope it goes to 7.

If you are for the Oilers I bet you do

 

[DamonDRW]

McDavid needs to leave. No forward in this league can play 30 minutes each playoff game and be blamed for lack of defensive coverage.

 

[Raistlin]

They had to fight off both the refs and the Oilers and prevailed. They deserve to move on. They smartly decide to sit Cole in the last minute, Oilers were looking for him.

 

[WarriorofTime]

and what if they do? they gonna play em 30 each from the start vs dallas? edmonton is mid af

Probably? What else can they do? They can't overnight roster depth or goaltending mid playoffs.

 

[JAK]

That would be brutal. One of the absolute worst.

McDavid : Who else would get us 15 PPs in game 6?

 

[Some Other Flame]

Pretty brutal game from the Oilers top players

On the other hand, maybe they're just exhausted from being so overplayed

Looks like twitter/x is broken on HF

 

[LivingRentFree]

why do Crosby fans come out when McDavid (admittedly inevitably always) falters in the playoffs? the insecurity is insane lol

Because Oiler fans consistently say he’s better than Crosby.

He is great at putting up points, but Crosby is one of the best players of all time. Lemieux, Gretzky, Crosby.

 

[Ezekial]

No idea how Picard play. Do or die for Edmonton. Do they go back to their number 1 or stick with Picard? Or putting Skinner back is throwing in the towel?

There is a 0% chance Pickard doesn't play the next game. He was the reason they were there with 35 seconds left and Skinner sucks ass like human centipede

 

[trilobyte]

I hope the refs for the next game took note of all the diving this game. Rewarding that kind of crap is an embarrassment, especially when one of the faces pf the league is a big culprit.

I think the NHL has decided to not penalize interference. There are always picks happening, and those just become normal play.
In a way, I think it is incumbent on coaching to notice and plan accordingly.
It's weird. I never really know where thing will land. Some interference does get called, other stuff not at all.

such a crazy night that even olujevi was there?

 

[Zerotonine]

HFOil that way ————>

We dont fellate the oilers here , we actually speak the truth

Is this were I'm suppose to let everyone know Canucks played the best game of the playoffs while the oilers just had there worse and yet the Canucks needed a lucky bounce to sneak one out late and win by one???

 

[WetcoastOrca]

McDavid needs to leave. No forward in this league can play 30 minutes each playoff game and be blamed for lack of defensive coverage.

He played 23 and a half minutes tonight. Bouchard played a lot more.

 

[Frank Drebin]

No idea how Picard play. Do or die for Edmonton. Do they go back to their number 1 or stick with Picard? Or putting Skinner back is throwing in the towel?

Huh. Pickard has been great. Skinner won't see the ice again

 

[Artemi Panarin]

Couldn't have happened to a nicer group of guys

 

[nucks88]

why do Crosby fans come out when McDavid (admittedly inevitably always) falters in the playoffs? the insecurity is insane lol

Crosby fans are hockey fans, maybe they like watching hockey……

 

[Bobby9]

Pickard Played great for Edmonton.

These 2 goalies are a great story.

 

[Angry Little Elf]

 

[TruKnyte]

Def stick with Pickard

As a Canucks fan I want Skinner, so the choice is probably obvious for them.

Also PK was huge tonight

 

[KingPuckChoo]

It's true though. Minimum 1 more game (Game 7) if they lose Saturday. If they win the series in 6, they have at least 2. If they win in 7, they have at least 3.

That's technically true.

oh there i go again with my conspirational mind

 

[Frank Drebin]

The intent of this game wasn't winning

 

[Mobiandi]

One more game before the decade of darkness 2.0 sets in
