GDT: WCSF GM01 | Vancouver Canucks vs Edmonton Oilers | Wed. May 8th | 7pm PST | SNP/CBC | In Arturs We Trust

I love Demko but he's just not reliable enough

Guy can’t finish a season. There’s not really anything available in FA though to replace him

 

[MikeK]

f***ing PTSD from the Cloutier era.

No joke. This game has felt like old time Canucks bad luck hockey

 

[EpochLink]

We are back to DeSmith.

 

[quat]

What a shame after getting themselves back in the game with a terrific period, and then two total non-chances fly in.

Yeah, some games are like that. Canucks need a couple of bounces and they're back. Oilers don't look particularly good, but they're definitely scoring.

 

[GranvilleIsland]

So many bounces going Edmonton's way. Silovs looks like DeSmith this game if they lose this one I wonder if DeSmith gets game 2?

 

[Slapshot_11]

Pettersson misses open side

Man these guys are f***ing bums

 

[vadim sharifijanov]

it’s like they didn’t even practice with lindholm on the pp

 

[AzNightmare]

Mental game is always a game within yourself for the goalie. He's a young goalie and being thrown into the lion's den. Honestly playing with house money that he played well enough to even get through the first round.

But he was clearly rattled from the bad goal and it built up. This is where experience comes in.

 

[Bojack Horvatman]

I don't remember the last time Pettersson scored on that 1 timer

 

[biturbo19]

Okay though. Petey wants to shoot.

Like...hit the net.

But you could see in the body language dude wants it now. He's ready. Just get it dialed in a little better and we're cooking again.

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

Pettersson, missed the net

 

[cc]

This was always the risk with putting a young inexperienced goalie in net in the playoffs

Part of its bounces, but Silovs still needs to track the puck better. He’s not an NHL regular, guy was in the AHl most of the year

 

[EpochLink]

Tocchet has some explaining to do after this game.

 

[vadim sharifijanov]

also miller having a bozo night

 

[JiffyPB]

it’s like they didn’t even practice with lindholm on the pp

It’s like they had a good PP until Tocchett decided to mess with it

There aren't 32 starter-calibre goalies in the NHL, that's the problem. Teams are resorting to two 1-B's

 

[timw33]

The "ah right, we're playing a third stringer in the playoffs" moment.

 

[iFan]

its wild how we went from being a high powered offensive team to struggling to score a goal

 

[EpochLink]

Everyone is off tonight, take away the 3 bad goals its 1-1.
But Cole had to be an idiot.

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

Remember at the beginning of the year when we scored on like every other powerplay? I miss those days.

 

[quat]

Look, the score sucks, but the Oilers are just getting lucky. Canucks can't get a bounce. If things even out, the Canucks should be in this series.

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

I feel for the fans who shelled out $300 for this crap show.

 

[Petey O]

Remember at the beginning of the year when we scored on like every other powerplay? I miss those days.

Just not the same team post all star break. Lost their scoring touch.

 

[Red]

PP has completely died
