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

Gazdic says he'd go to Skinner.. Hope he never coaches ..

Ya WTF was that. Pickard has played great. The Miller goal was a lucky rebound.

Skinner would had let in 4 or 5.

 

[Three On Zero]

Soucy was very prominent other than scoring the goal. The big guys were very critical to stopping Oilers transition game.

Soucy doesn’t get suspended and that’s likely 4-1 Canucks, series over

 

[oilers4life5]

Fixed for you

Nothing to fix. There have been memes for years about Canuck’s diving. Take a hard look in the mirror.

Likewise for Edmonton

 

[AwesomeInTheory]

Watch them send in Kelly Sutherland for game 6

"BAH GAWD IS THAT STEPHANE AUGER'S MUSIC?!?!?!?!?"

Death - Taxes - oilers complaining about the refs

Canucks were bitching early on....

 

[Dust]

Yup and I think the players and staff from 25 NHL teams watched tonight on how to defend against the Oilers PP.

If it was that easy it would have been figured out ages ago. It's one of the best because they have a bunch of different looks and it's constantly moving. Full credit to Vancouver because they had to change something up, you're not winning a series allowing a team to go 50% on the PP.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

He also hits like a mack truck, he's one of the most complete players in the league.

The guy is well worth his caphit. Glad the Canucks didn’t give up on him.

 

[Duodenum]

It went right to wire so tough to say that.The Oilers though should have went a little easier on mins early in series though for best players .Have to ride them now.

Can't be easy getting crunched by Zadorov, Myers, Cole, and Soucy all series long.

 

[22Brad Park]

Maaaybe East Coast hockey fans will finally realize how good JT Miller is. I assume more fans r staying up late to watch playoffs.

He played with TB and NYR

Out of curiosity how many pp’s did u want? 5 ain’t moving the needle for ya?

 

[Raistlin]

That 4th line is much better. PdG bringing that baby energy and Podkolzin raring to go playing an energizing role

 

[ziploc]

Anyone who thinks they should go bak to Skinner is insane. Pickard actually gives them good enough goaltending to win. Canucks would have crushed the Oilers tonight if Skinner was in.

2024 Oilers have taken the diving to a new height never seen before.

 

[Bankerguy]

He played with TB and NYR

he was a 50 pt forward then. He's a 100 point player now

Death - Taxes - oilers complaining about the refs

This is very ironic because every GDT is 60% Canucks fans complaining about the refs. They were so much better than the Oilers tonight, though. Refs have nothing to do with it.

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Best game Canucks have played all playoffs.
Outside of the first 10 minutes I thought they were dominant. But more than a little nervous that they couldn’t get that third goal up until the end.
The Star players on both teams were mostly neutralized up until the last minute and the plumbers were the guys scoring the goals.

They went from decade of darkness memes to diving memes, it’s not just 2024

 

[Zaddy91]

What was the explanation for the Pettersson penalty?

 

[22Brad Park]

he was a 50 pt forward then. He's a 100 point player now

Fair enough but he was still a good player

Im still shocked that Tocchet didn’t make the adjustment to attack sooner. The best way to prevent such a potent PP is to prevent them from getting an easy entry and setting up.

 

[TheUnusedCrayon]

Absolutely senseless act. Nearly killed him.

They were better.

Laughable some think there was no bitching about the refs this game....esoecially when fans threw debris on ice.

 

[josra33]

What was the explanation for the Pettersson penalty?

Oilers didn’t get their league mandated power plays yet at that point.

 

[zar]

Canucks played a great around game tonight. Well done.

Oilers looked tired.

Tired from all the diving they did tonight.

Wow, I compliment the Canucks and get this response.
