[Daximus]

Even on an off night this kid can make magic....

 

[MattySnipes]

Woke up the beast Canucks. Frickin McDavid. So good man.

 

[BertCorbeau]

McDavid gonna McDavid

That was nifty

 

[Kcb12345]

McDavid really does not look 100% and he still goes out and scores a goal like that. Beautiful

Hughes and Tanev just stood there tho lol

 

[thaman8765678]

Did the Oilers just win the Stanley Cup?

 

[KaseMeOutside]

stop showing the damn management who cares

 

[Bounces R Way]

Defensive specialist Sutter with the giveaway and just waves as McDavid blows by him.

 

[koyvoo]

Heh. You missed the the rest of the series, I assume.

 

[clydesdale line]

McDavid quiet all night scores.. usual superstar stuff from the top guys with off nights.

 

[AaronDellForPrez]

Yep. That was the bad call. I think everyone hated to see the game end like that. Didnt mean much in the end though.

 

[CupInSIX]

The Edmonton Flyers have a great atmosphere at Rexall tonight.

 

[sabremike]

Leafs just dominated Ottawa, the score looks it wasn't

They literally have a worse roster than the one noted idiot savant minus the savant part Tim Murray assembled in an attempt to lose as many games as possible. The Marlies probably would crush them too.

 

[HanSolo]

Neither can fill Miller’s versatility Imho. He can play in all situations, underrated shot. But you’ll score a ton, especially w a full lineup, the additions of Zykov and Glass.

Uhhhh. You might be overrating Miller a bit. I'm not even saying this as a "not on our team, not gonna pump his tires anymore" type thing. I complained about Miller all last season. He's a good point rover and has a good shot from the point but past that he's average to below average. His passing is too inconsistent, he struggles to hold pucks at the line, defensively inconsistent due to a general lack of awareness at times...he had a skill set that made him look better than he was but extended analysis shows a guy that really hasn't met his potential with fractures in his game.

 

[HldMyBeer]

I think the officals should reveiw a call when ever they want, and it would be a coaches challenge if they dont want to?

 

[TropicalFruitGirl2]

Been awhile since a Vancouver - Edmonton game could be classified as exciting, but you know what?
This one is.

Looking for some good things from both teams this season.
Competing for playoff spots at the very least...actually getting in at best.

Both fanbases should be excited.

 

[KaseMeOutside]

Terrible non call, why do NHL refs not call shit based on the situation?

 

[TropicalFruitGirl2]

Oilers gonna wrap this game up against the Canucks.

First of many for The Oil this year? We will see....

 

[TeddyBare]

Hughes and Tanev just stood there tho lol

Umm you mean they were caught at the end of a shift after sutter turned it over.

 

[antiqueslivers]

aah good game between the oilers and nucks. Its so nice to have hockey back

You’ve seen him more than I, obviously. From what I saw, he had an active pokecheck, positionally sound, good mobility and shot. Useful and better than Holden or Merril. He was your 3rd best all-around Dman behind Schmidt and Theodore. McNabb more of a stay-at-home.

I think he is better cast as a 4-5 d man, he was overused, which magnified his shortcomings. Certainly better than Holden.

I mean if not for Chabot and Tkachuk yeah probaly

 

[HldMyBeer]

Dillon would kill Reaves

Merrill surpassed him last year in the second half. Before that Merrill was an abject disaster, I'll admit but he became a steady presence in the defensive zone. A kind of presence that had faded out of Miller's game in Vegas' sophomore year. I seriously disagree with your assessment. Like, I hope he does better with Buffalo but his constant mistakes at both ends was really hurting the team after a while. There's a reason Vegas moved him. Obviously cap was a consideration but the team had to decide who was expendable, and Vegas decided he was.

I'll put it this way: 164+ games watching him with Vegas, I don't miss him now that he's gone and was vocal that he should be one of our cap casualties. You can ask anyone on the Vegas board.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Reaves going after everyone not named Prout.

 

[Plub]

VGK and SJ has quickly become the best rivalry in hockey.
