Sometimes miracles
Nurse needs to bring more, but Ceci is killing everyone.Only 16 mins for Nurse too. Being abut sheltered.

Question for someone smarter than me: is there a systems-based explanation for why the Oilers are so chronically, consistently incapable of clearing their zone under pressure? Is this a natural side effect of their system or are they simply as slow/clueless as they appear? Want to support Pickard/Skinner even more and get that GAA down? Get the f***ing puck out of your zone!
/driving me crazy
Ceci is clearly the weakest link on the D. Get rid of him at the end of this season.
Stetcher, Broberg and maybe even Kemp are upgrades on Ceci's level of play right now.Why wait until the end of the season? We can replace him RIGHT NOW with Stecher, and very likely upgrade our team.
Love the bench's reaction
Would take Stecher or Broberg over him.Why wait until the end of the season? We can replace him RIGHT NOW with Stecher, and very likely upgrade our team.
I think that Willis mentioned the options of playing Kulak with Nurse and then putting Broberg with Deharnais.Would take Stecher or Broberg over him.
It's a personnel issue. Ceci in particular is awful at creating quick break out passes, using his defensive partner as a safety valve, and doubly so at creating outlets for his defensive partner to do so.
There's a reason why we're screaming for Stecher to draw into the lineup.
But in this series Vancouver does deserve a bit of credit. They've chased the Ceci matchup with their best forechecking line all 4 games.
They really need to teach Ceci some panic plays or something. Like hey if you think you're caught, flip it high to centre ice or full slapper the thing. Don't cough it up 6 feet away without looking.Ceci reminds me of Bear in a sense that the opp will always dump to his side of the ice. If you watch, they'll dump to Ceci because they know he'll f' it up
Someone please explain this to McLeodI said yesterday we need to punish Hughes-Hronek they are smaller d-men with little playoff experience. Punish those guys while you can to throw them off.
It's not only about Kane doing that and it resulting in a goal, which don't get me wrong it's beautiful. But if you can get d-men off their game because they are worried about getting crushed, it'll open up other opportunities either in the current game or the next ones.
Draisaitl played well with Kane. Not sure why Knob does not use them together anymore. Hyman-McDavid, Kane-Draisaitl, then plug whoever as the other winger: RNH, Foegele, Holloway, Henrique.Holloway into the top 6 is something we've been screaming for weeks. Feels good to be vindicated. Kid is a player and a good fit with Drai
Holy crap are some Canuck fans desperate. Some think bringing in Jonathan Lekkermaki is a solution. (2 points in 6 AHL games is his North American career)
Nuts. That is like us expecting Lavoie to come in and change the series. (and he scored 28 in the AHL this year)
Totally.Only 16 mins for Nurse too. Being abut sheltered.

In the off season yes, though Pesce is out right now and it's killing the canes, because DeAngelo is playing and is terribleIf they could turn Ceci into Pesce or like that this team is totally different
That's exactly what they did last night?
In one ep of GYB, Rishaug admits he grew up as a huge Oilers fan. But since he's part of media, he's not allowed to show it even though he has his biases.
The Vancouver media, every single one of them, has no qualms showing it. Iain MacIntyre and Farham Lalji being 2 of the worst
I did not. My brother and dad have season tickets (haven't bought in yet), but they've been selling them, and we thought they weren't sold Sunday, oh well. That building sounded amazing.@Jimmi McJenkins
Did you go to the game last night?
I actually was wondering if this was going to happen, feels super like a nucks thing to doHoly crap are some Canuck fans desperate. Some think bringing in Jonathan Lekkermaki is a solution. (2 points in 6 AHL games is his North American career)
Nuts. That is like us expecting Lavoie to come in and change the series. (and he scored 28 in the AHL this year)
I was just asking because they won.I did not. My brother and dad have season tickets (haven't bought in yet), but they've been selling them, and we thought they weren't sold Sunday, oh well. That building sounded amazing.
