Go Canucks go

 

[Angry Little Elf]

Go Canucks! What a fun team to watch.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Here’s hoping the Canucks saved some of that solid containment D for when Demko is in net. McDavid looked like he was going to be out for blood at the end of last night’s game.

 

[Angry Little Elf]

Watching last night’s game with my dad was pretty funny.

he was like “höglander? Juolevi? Schmidt? When did we get them? Who are these people?”

 

[canuckking1]

Mcdavid played 27 minutes last game. I wonder how much he’ll have in the tank.

 

[VanillaCoke]

Lots, it's McDavid.



Oilers look lost, easy win for the good guys

 

[Baby Pettersson]

Bit of an obvious statement but every game you play is twice as important this season just for the fact that it's all in your own division.

Being 4 points up already on the Oilers would just be glorious.

McDavid almost scored that insane goal at the end of the game, he really is the best player in the league

 

[LordBacon]

The Mcdrai duo is too f***ing good,
Those two could’ve scored a couple more goals last night if they were more fortunate.
Too bad they had such a shitty team overall,
Two world class talents going to waste.

It's pathetically hilarious they have the best player in the world, and 2 of the top 5, and they're playing with zack kassian, Yamamoto, and kahun.

And I like the latter 2 but cmon..

Actually think that signing Kahun was a really nice, low cost move for them. Kahun looked dangerous all night last night, IMO.

 

[ChilliBilly]

methinks that as a tad optimistic. We were the better team, but a lot of this is going to be bounces ....

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Mike Smith in net for the Oilers?
To quote an ex Canuck turned hockey commentator:
‘Shots, shots, shots!’

Just my guess - I would guess both teams will be using their other goalie tonight.

 

[canuckking1]

Would be a real dagger if we won this game. 8 point swing.


Don't let up boys!

 

[Canucks LB]

Mcdavid needs to leave edmonton when his contract is up, and join us! Lol

 

[vanarchy]

Go Canucks go

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

Man, Mr. C's GDTs bring back some good, sweet nostalgia.

 

[hellstick]

These guys again!?

 

[Fatass]

Demko in goal should be interesting. Edler played huge minutes last night, an over 10 minutes in third alone. He plays really hard defensive minutes too. Juiolevi only played 10 the whole game. Wondering if Schmidt might relieve Edler of some of those hardest minutes?

 

[VanillaCoke]

Yeah I like the latter 2, but they're all not on the same level as Mcdrai...

If either had a couple real high quality wingers they'd be even more dominant.

Schmidt played over 24 minutes not sure you could add more. I'd expect Hughes to play more in a game with a bit more Powerplays.

Good point about the Oilers getting 8 ministers of PP time to our 2. Maybe the refs will be more fair tonight?

 

[Josepho]

cautiously optimistic that demko maintains his .985 from the playoffs
