GDT: WCSF | GM 3 | Vancouver Canucks @ Edmonton Oilers | Sunday, May 12th | 6:30PM PST | SPAC

[Jovofan]

The whiplash in officiating has nothing on the whiplash from Oilers media and fandom.

Took less than a game to really figure out our white flag.

They should put pompoms on their sticks.

 

[calnuck]

It’s so weird that every panel talks about how the Canucks are the underdogs and how they thought the oilers would just steam roll them. Did they not watch the regular season? Did they not look at the standings?
Has there ever been a series where the higher placed team was seen as the underdog? It’s f***ing bizarre

 

[Hammer79]

They upset we have too many AMERICANS on the team, I saw too much of those stupid memes on social media that Edmonton is "Canada's Team" and Vancouver is the evil "American" team.

That'll be the asterisk next to our Canadian Cup drought breaker.

 

[Slapshot_11]

So lets do the opposite of what we did in period 2, thanks

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Gadzic has actually been fairly partisan. Pretty balanced. But Simpson has been the total homer.

I don’t mind his takes, and he’s a good speaker - but he’s admitted his bias and was actually a teammate of some of these guys and doesn’t really hide it.

(And his opinion on the penalty wasn’t reprehensible - I was taking a jab at Spector saying only Canucks fans and media bitch about the officials)

 

[HighAndTight]

Bring back Ben Eager’s friend from 2011?

Ah good choice.


Anyone remember the old school Panthers one with the missing finger

 

[Orr4Norris]

I could give a shit about this Canada’s Team nonsense. If anyone wants to cheer for the Canucks, great - all aboard the bandwagon. But I’m not losing sleep about people in Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec cheering for us or not because their team is out - especially not after 2011 when the whole country seemed to actively cheer against us.

I identify as a British Columbian anyways. So yeah, could really care less about the Canada’s team crap.

i cant imagine how infuriating it would be as a canucks fan to listen to snet talk non stop oilers both intermissions, with vancouver ahead by 2 in each

what a f***ing joke

The evil Vancouver team with Americans on Sportsnet, bad for ratings!!

Also, welcome and enjoy

It's happened before, some other poster had an entire list. Basically they are 100% to play but not really the same. Takes 1-2 seasons to recover fully.

So you would say no to a buyout then? October would be 2 seasons, so we'd have to gamble it a bit either way.

 

[DS7]

This run has had so many epic moments already, it would feel like a waste to go out in the 2nd round.

Even if we do, we'd at least take our pound of flesh. There'd be nothing left for the Oil in the tank with mcdrai playing 30+ min a night.

 

[Leif Rohlin]

Lindholm is so good.

Also from just a hockey fan persepctive this is so much better than the Nashville series.

 

[Red]

I don't trust a 2 goal lead with McDavid about to play 14 minutes of the next period

 

[Hammer79]

Just got home.

Whats the TLDR up to this point?

BB and Lindholm got 2 each. The first one was originally credited to BB, so he briefly had a natural hat trick. Oilers deadly on the PP but Skinner has been poor.

 

[rypper]

Terry fox was a beauty.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

need a pic

The video is out there somewhere on YT, I’m sure.

 

[Bgav]

Kane 100 percent tried kicking Z

 

[Zanon]

I don't trust a 2 goal lead with McDavid about to play 14 minutes of the next period

Yeah me neither

of course!!!

 

[Hammer79]

That wasn't a goal Elliotte

Darn us and our colored webbing!

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

This is indisputable. If they had an actual team around them, they’d already be a dynasty. And even just on their own, they can be enough most nights. Just terrifying.

I remember hearing they were close to drafting Jake Oettinger over Yamamoto. They also missed big time on that Puljujarvi pick.

Imagine they drafted Tkachuk and had Oettinger in net? *shudder*

 

[NoShowWilly]

can't sit back and let these guys play the third like a powerplay. Mcdavid and Draisaitl are going to play a ton. Make them work.

 

[EpochLink]

Yeah me neither

Need to keep pressing, 2 goals in this period would be good.

 

[rypper]

Bring back Ben Eager’s friend from 2011?

When the caps (I think) won the cup there was a flasher behind the one goal. That's all I remember from that goal celebration.

Clench your buttcheeks it's going to be a scary 3rd. Lindholm and Brock two goal games. Skinner looks like garbage. Their PP is disgustingly good and they're due a PP any second now. They've hit a ton of posts, we barely survived the second. They whine like it's an Olympic event and they're going for the gold medal.
