GDT: WCSF GM06 | Vancouver Canucks @ Edmonton Oilers | Sat. May 18th | 5pm PST | SNP/CBC | Finish Them

[SelltheTeamFrancesco]

I would probably have rested Hughes most of the third.

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

It's game 6 guys. We sound like the Oilers after game 5. It's anybody's series and I believe.

Right? Reading their board, some aren't even watching tonight because they were convinced it was over.

We played like shit but we have one more chance.

 

[Leif Rohlin]

Good decision to turn this one off lol.

I still think we win on Monday but I kinda don't care anymore. Will probably just have it on in the background while doing something else.

 

[Felidae]

I had a nap. I just had a short dream that the Canucks came back from a 2-4 deficit to tie it in the final second of the 3rd period.

Was a 3 on 2 rush with Hughes leading the way. Shoots it into the pad of Skinner from the goalie line and Petey taps it in for the rebound. Odd...

 

[JumpierPegasus]

Zero passion or energy. Down in the game 5-1 might as well try and get some emotion going before heading back home

But nothing. No forecheck. Minimal backcheck. No push back. No hits

 

[Luongos Knob]

Pathetic effort

 

[Ace of Hades]

So frustrating to see that sieve Skinner have a very easy night.

 

[PavelBure10]

Jesus what a joke.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Couldn't even let us see Kane get his ass kicked.

What a f***ing trash game.

 

[mossey3535]

Zadorov behind the net, checked hard. He backhands it to Cole because he thinks that's his only out except Cole has to come all the way back from the half boards. It stays in the zone. This is a broken record, teams have shown consistently that they won't naturally adjust to forecheck with more puck support. That's literally how Boston keeps losing to Florida recently, and basically how everyone has lost to them until Vegas did 5 man puck support against them in the Cup final. Go back and look up my GDT posts from that time.

 

[DFAC]

Good - show some emotion

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

I take comfort in knowing we may have f***ed Edmontons chances of a SCF birth by taking them to 7 games....

That is unless Dallas massively f***s it up.

 

[Bleach Clean]

Agree to disagree. Not sure what you are looking at, I don't see any signs of what you're describing.

Take a look at the first 2 passes in the DZone in game 5. Almost on a consistent basis, the dman finds the forward and the forward finds the support. Here, the Dman struggles to get to the puck, turn, and find an option... Even if he does, the forward is closed on early because he didn't get the puck earlier. He fails to create separation. All of this is with the Canucks forwards running interference.

 

[Jay26]

No response at all…not even physically, Big Z has been invisible.

They might be spent. I said that after game 4 and then game 5 happened so there's that. I know better than to count this team out.

 

[drax0s]

Guys you don't understand, Demko will score at LEAST 3 goals next game.

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

Right. How about we call for the rest of the team to show up first? SMH at these comments about Demko.

Exactly. This is the first weak game Silovs played and suddenly he's back to being "just a 3rd stringer"

 

[AzNightmare]

Right. How about we call for the rest of the team to show up first? SMH at these comments about Demko.

Because the likeliness of Demko actually playing well if healthy, is higher than the rest of the team playing well.

 

[SelltheTeamFrancesco]

Kane thanking the ref for saving him.

 

[Angry Little Elf]

We will bounce back in game 7

This isn't Game 5.

 

[Slapshot_11]

You really gotta be mentally ill to carry around raw beef for hours

 

[arttk]

This game is on coaching, shit PP and shit breakout.

 

[crazychimp]

Soooo what’s the over/under for Sutherland in game 7?

 

[Zanon]

Well, we wanted playoff hockey back in Vancouver. Now we’re getting the full experience

 

[ATypicalCanadian]

Hopefully Tocchet is gonna be making this the most uncomfortable flight home and laying into them. Rip the entire team new ones after this effort in a game where they could have advanced.
