GDT: Around the League 2019-20 v24

[McOilers97]

Dominated for 80% of the game, bailed out by your goalie for a shutout win.

Sometimes I hate this f***ing sport.

 

[Del Preston]

Virtanen in the tracks.

Holy shit, the Canucks are a well built team. Their transition game is so quick and fluid, two goalies stealing games in the playoffs, relentless forecheck, etc.

I bet they win the Cup!
They gotta be the favorites

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

I better get to bed. It took me a few minutes to realize that they weren’t sticking a guy under a burning car but pulling him out in reverse.

"Canada's" team wins again.

 

[Three On Zero]

It’s because when they lose a series their fans burn downtown to the ground and they blame Surrey.

Economic growth and stimulation

Comments like this are so bizarre, the oilers have had their asses sat out of the playoffs for two rounds now and we are bleating about the Canucks, a team on the rise, embarrassing Canada?

If the Canucks are embarrassed the Oilers should be totally and utterly humiliated to the worst degree.

Their fans can talk smack, we are sitting on our asses at home, they are still playing, and playing well.

The embarrassment will come when they burn down their precious city once again and make Canada look like a joke. Then magically their bandwagon fans will disappear as usual until the next time they go on a run and win a couple of series.

Canadian fans in general are pathetically easily impressed, we had our own contingent that thought we were going to be contenders after 2017 and here we are. What makes you think the Canucks won’t have the same failure of a followup? Is it because your negativity towards all things Oilers borders upon the absurd?

Looks like having rookie stud defensemen (Heiskenen, Makar, Hughes) makes a world of difference.

f***in Americans....

That's his first SO ever Louie. Dude just had the 2 best games of his NHL career 2 games in a row.

Or having a backup goalie having the game of his life two straight games.

Yup. That’s been my argument whenever someone goes on about “Canada’s Team”. Boston was Canada’s team in 2011, who will be this year?

Imagine not having shitty goaltending.

Louie is too busy polishing casual fan’s knobs for Sportsnets ratings to care

I honestly can't

Vancouver has been outshot (at 5-on-5) by 14, 12, 11, 7, and 21 in the first five games of the series. Tonight they are being outshot by 11 as of this post.

This was a sweep without Markstrom stealing Game 2. Demko has stood on his head the past two games as well.

Follows the theme of this playoffs. The team getting outplayed has won a ridiculous amount of games going back to the very start. Flyers deserved to be swept as well. Tampa needed all sorts of luck to get past Columbus and Boston in only 5. Kind of lame really.

An ‘on’ Smith had similar performances this season.

He only needs to keep it up for 9 more games

His numbers were still terrible and we quickly found out what an "off" Smith looks like.

Yeah looked a lot like this:

[HugentNopkins]

Vegas has so many games in this playoffs alone where they shot 40 plus and have went out with a loss. This can't be a coincidence.

 

[Mez]

Regular Season Demko 3.06 GAA .905 Save%

But can he make it .999

Difference is his coach started the better goalie in the playoffs and rightly so.

Tippett is still a world class moron.
