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

[22Brad Park]

No Demko is a killer.14 shots & 3 weak goals is WOOF.

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

Canucks have been the better team 5 on 5, few bad goals courtesy of Cole & Silovs. If they can keep it 5 on 5 the series will be a coin flip.

 

[Three On Zero]

If the Canucks had Demko this wouldn’t even be a game lol

Game heavily favours Vancouver, but Silovs is Sievelovs

 

[Canucks LB]

Honestly, is this the big bad Oilers?

game should be 2-2, absolutely awful goals by silovs, no matter how nice of a guy he is.

I actually feel Vancouver has outplayed Edmonton this game

Oilers are very rusty. I wouldn't take too much out of this game win or lose from either team

"Cole"

 

[thaman8765678]

Vancouver out playing them 5v5 but losing because of bad goaltending and Oilers pp. Classic.

Getting the advantage in net is not something that I was ever expecting from this matchup.

 

[McFlyingV]

It’s 4-2 but Edmonton has been a mediocre team this game, they don’t look overly dangerous

They dominated the 1st when they had their 2nd superstar.

 

[Three On Zero]

Having an injury prone starter is hopeless. Demko costed us a playoff spot in 2021 with his injuries. Gotta move on from him

Just need to hit on a good 1b, don’t overplay Demko

Need Demko back and play DeSmith he is better then what I am seeing tonite.That said The Oilers will be better at home.

 

[Roksta]

Oh no, no Dr Drai to carry McD

 

[Canucks LB]

"Cole"

It really sucks for ian cole, he’s honestly having the worst game of his career.

 

[Three On Zero]

They dominated the 1st when they had their 2nd superstar.

No, they really didn’t.

 

[PromisedLand]

Did Drai get hit or something. I didn't see anything where he could have possibly got hurt.

Its a 4-2 game; unless oilers have zero faith in their defensive system and goalie no reason to push for Drai and McJesus to play more mins here. Keep them fresh for Game 2 lets Nucks overplay their premier players

 

[PlushMinus]

Silovs was very good, Nashville was probably better defensively than Van that series & he made every huge save.



Responded with a 35+ save win.

He's not the guy. But I guess beggars can't be choosers given that Demko is injured (yet again).

You shouldn't even have to ask that with McDavid being basically invisible tonight.

 

[Szechwan]

Oilers are very rusty. I wouldn't take too much out of this game win or lose from either team

Lol didn't the oilers have one additional day off than Van?

Both Vancouver goals were lucky bounces. Goes bother ways could easily be 2-0.

 

[Angry Little Elf]

Looks like a hip injury on Drai

 

[forsbergavs32]

"Cole"

Remembering Ian Cole on the Avs...

The Oilers are peaky and will get goals against the flow of play. The fancy stats will favor Vancouver, I'm sure of it.

 

[eviohh26]

They dominated the 1st when they had their 2nd superstar.

Ian Cole dominated the 1st.

Just need to hit on a good 1b, don’t overplay Demko

Markstrom @50% for Lekkerimaki
