GDT: WQSF | III | "Momma Said Knock You Out" | Oilers vs. Canucks | 5.12.24 | 7:30PM | SN/CBC

[Rowlet]

High danger chances were 17-9 for the Oilers and expected goals were 4.8 to 1.8 for the Oilers.

You're looking at all situations, 5v5 it's 7-6

 

[Dust]

Well Canucks arr without 2 key players, Demko and Pettersson. They are still beating the Oilers.

Is Petey up in the press box with Thatcher now as well? Bold strategy to just pretend your player is out when he's just actually sucking.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Better team? Canucks won, and deserved it. Better team better depth, played thru the lineup and didnt rely on 2 star forwards. Maybe works for Edmonton sometimes, but failed again tonight. Will they find a smarter strategy for the rest of the series or do they continue this pattern and bow out, once again? Big decisions for the Edmonton coaching crew on how to move forward here down in the series 2 games to 1.

Rumbling in Edmonton is Draisaitl’s playing through a pretty significant back injury right now. The only reason he’s playing with McDavid is he isn’t healthy enough to haul along his usual cadre of misfit linemates.

 

[jackjohnson]

EP's continued disappearing act is seriously concerning. They are winning without him, but that does not seem sustainable at all.

True, but he also needs some wingers. Pettersson is either injured or something is seriously wrong with him

 

[DFAC]

Really clever editing not showing the McDavid 2 handed slash seconds earlier. Very clever.

 

[Hank Plank]

Non stop whine fest on 630 it's off the charts even for them.

Hockey games are played at "all situations."

 

[ziploc]

I'm not sure what the route is for him. He is good enough to back up Demko. But they might want to get him regular gameplay. AHL would be good to get him ready and get use to a full schedule and define his game. Could also save money letting DeSmith walk . I'm honestly not sure .

Demko shouldn't be playing anywhere near as many games as he normally does, given his injury history. Silovs could be in the bigs and get a lot of games if they did it right.

 

[Angry Little Elf]

Nucks are 11-1 with that ref? Shocking.

Bruh give it a rest

 

[JAK]

Oilers fans only understands the game if they are on the powerplay

You're looking at all situations, 5v5 it's 7-6

 

[WestCoast CyberG]

It is a joke that TSN hyped Oilers as a contender. Hilarious. You take two key players off that team and you`ll see lottery team.

TSN milking McOverrated but yea…Oilers suck.

 

[jackjohnson]

Is Petey up in the press box with Thatcher now as well? Bold strategy to just pretend your player is out when he's just actually sucking.

Petey might as well be injured and not playing. He is just on the ice for morality.

Decoy on the power play, and when left alone, he makes plays

 

[Dust]

Give Demko 50 and Silovs 30. Should be enough to keep him fresh.

 

[Rowlet]

Hockey games are played at "all situations."

Sure, but the teams play the same amount 5v5, all situations isn't as reliable because one team has more time with the man advantage

 

[eviohh26]

I agree. Wouldn't be surprised to see Silov as the back up. He has most def earned it. And we could save money letting DeSmith walk . Win Win

 

[larek]

Maybe he does, it happens. McDavid shouldn’t two hand people after the game if he doesn’t want to deal with the rough stuff.

Plus if his teammates are soft and don’t even come to his defence… might want to reconsider even more.

Bunch of hugging after your one hope for the series eats a stick in the face… yikes.

That' was my first point

 

[jackjohnson]

TSN milking McOverrated but yea…Oilers suck.

McDavid cant carry a team on his own. He should just go to another team that is an actual contender

 

[ziploc]

Petey might as well be injured and not playing. He is just on the ice for morality.

Morale, maybe? I'm not sure how moral he is being. And it doesn't seem to be influencing Zadorov very much.

 

[CanucksSayEh]

Miller Fuggin OWNS McDavid this year.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

I don't want to be that guy because I always find this take obnoxious but I'll be that guy. I think that even if Demko comes back, the winner of this series will lose in 4 or 5 to the winner of the Avs/Stars series.

 

[Megaterio Llamas]

I think you mean for moral support

 

[eviohh26]

Marner and Tavares get let go. McDavid to Leafs. Just to fail some more

 

[Spirits]

Really clever editing not showing the McDavid 2 handed slash seconds earlier. Very clever.

God that is a great highlight. McBitch getting handled.

 

[trilobyte]

Yea zadorow will have to watch out when rnh is coming for him.

That would be humorous, but what I said was nevertheless true
You misinterpret what I posted. I am referring to both teams looking for revenge.
