I'm telling ya, best option is to use Cole as a winger opposite mik, and have mikheyev shoot at Cole in front of Oilers net. Guaranteed success

Mikheyev won’t hit Cole, he doesn’t have that kind of accuracy lol, he’d likely fumble the puck anyways assuming he doesn’t over skate it.

Only three games into the series, and it's already one of the ugliest in recent memory. All I can say is thank Gawd we beefed up with Big Z at the deadline.

He's 'the intimidator and the terminator' out there. He's driving the Oilers nuts. Good. They're so busy running around trying 'get the guy' they're taking themselves out of position.

Without him and Soucy, I shudder to think the punishment some of the Canucks smaller forwards would be taking in this series. As the old Conn Smythe saying goes "if you can't beat them in the alley, you can't beat them on the ice'.

Loving the Oilers fans tears right now, they taste great lol. After all that flack Canucks fans taking from Oil fans after the game 2 Sutherland bullshit, it's nice to see them scrambling screaming for suspensions on Canuck players. The kettle is black.

Difference is the league loves McCrybaby so they'll probably do something unlike when it's the other way around

If nothing else, our boys have shown there's two teams in this series. Everyone predicting an Oilers sweep, or "Oilers in 3" or 5 or whatever can go pound sand.

I listened to the post game show on the radio, and there was lots of talk about Spectre being unprofessional. Does anyone have what he said?

"Institutionalized surrender.

People know what waving a white towel stands for, don’t they?

This is the culture that the Canucks players must overcome.

This is why nary a press conference passes here without poor coach Rick Tocchet being asked to comment on the officiating. Why players are peppered with questions about calls, and non-calls."


The irony in his take was pointed out in the postgame last night. Spector has a history of whining about officials not protecting his oilers. And McDavid has to be top 5 in the league as the biggest whiner if not #1.

I know fans of our teams chirp each other but I've been rooting for Vancouver. I thought it was silly that everyone was picking Edmonton to win. I think this series could be 3-0 Vancouver easy.

Nashville prepared the team really well imo. Nashville is much better defensively and in net than Edmonton and I figured goals would be coming alot easier this series for your guys.

Does anybody have a link to the Lindolm and Joshua hits on the first shift and not just the highlights of them?

I am really worried about Soucy and a suspension. You just never know with this league.

It doesn't always matter if it is accidental or not... hoping for the best on the wheel of justice...

If Soucy is suspended, I hope the Canucks players use that as motivation. In my eyes, McDavid started the whole thing because he slashed Soucy first, then Soucy cross checked McDavid. That’s how I see the sequence of events. It was just Soucy’s bad timing that Zadorov cross checked McDavid simultaneously so that caused Soucy to get McD’s face instead of his chest.
The Canucks need to show (point out to the NHL) the totality of events. If the Canucks point out that McD instigated the incident, I further want the Canucks org to publicly state what was the NHL’s response to McD being the instigator.

If someone had told me that Demko would go down in his first playoff game; and they'd be forced to use Silovs; and now nine games into the playoffs they're getting next to nothing from arguably their best player in Pettersson; I'd have said 'forget about it and break out the golf clubs'.

It's hard to fathom how unlikely this whole scenario is.
