Knoblauch getting out coached by Rick Tocchet, pretty heavily tbh

Not sure I see that...

Thought Karlsson played good in limited minutes tonight. Wasn't hugely noticeable but that's probably a good thing for a guy playing his first playoff game on the road. He wasn't exposed and didn't make any mistakes, and actually showed some decent poise with the puck. I think he stays in the lineup for Game 4.

IIRC, Karlsson was out in the late going protecting the lead. I think he sticks.

 

[Killer Orcas]

With Soucy hurting and Cole making yet another mistake, I wonder if we're at all tempted to try playing 7 D? Juulsen in limited minutes could help some of our guys that are struggling without being a liability if his icetime is managed and he isn't out there in bad situations (like against the McDavid line).

Take Mik out and add Juulsen wouldn't be a bad idea. Keeps the D fresher as well.

WHAT IAN CLARK MAKES...... Triple it!

unsung hero!

The real unsung hero is Dustin Schwartz & the crap he feeds to the goalies over there.

 

[alicia]

2-1, stole one on the road. I've got a good feeling about the next one too, going back home 3-1 would be a dream scenario

 

[Red]

my favourite part of this is the miller tackle at the end

 

[Bobby9]

signing Lind and trading ep should be something management is talking about

Canucks and my Flames

The Calgary Canucks have been coming up big in these playoffs.

We don't know what's bothering Pettersson, could be multiple broken ribs and wrist needs surgery for all we know.

It would be even more lopsided if we could play a whole 60 minutes. Bad 3rd periods are really hurting us, and you can just tell they're holding on during those stretches of play.

Knoblauch is on a long list of coaches that has to figure out how to get offence out of his team against playoff defensive systems. Yes, even with McDrai on the team. Imagine if those two couldn't go out every other shift....

On the flip side he hasn't been able to do what Brunette did and counter with a defensive system that matches the Canuck's and then turns the games into coin flips. Which they should win since they have McDrai. But on the other hand, I guess your attitude with McDrai is why should they play defence? But that hasn't won that duo many playoff rounds either...

I do think Tocchet still hasn't deployed his lineup to get more offence and isn't doing enough tactically to get offence out of other lines. It's just working a lot better in this round because Skinner sucks and the Oilers don't play defence other than 'trying hard'. Nor is their forecheck all that great.

 

[Kalv]

Is Sam Carrick a tough guy and since when? Reading Oilers threads they clamoring for him to play next game. I don't remember him being a fighter?

He does fight, he did it many times for us Ducks. He has a lot of heart but he's not a heavy weight so he'd have a limited impact.

[Reverend Mayhem]

^ I think most of that is double and triple shifting the two of the best players in the 3rd. Pretty desperate, and can lead to wear and tear later on in the series.

 

[Petey But Really Jim]

So we have blake price now tweeting he thinks a suspension is coming (almost talking like he thinks there should be one), so dont be surprised if a vc media member starts tweeting about this theres likely one coming I am guessing. He might not know anything, but not a great look if our media is thinking theres one coming.

Who for what?

 

[DFAC]

Wait, what did Mark Spector say that the guys on the 650 radio are referring to?

 

[Bertuzzzi44]

Excellent:

Boeser
Miller
Myers
Soucy
Garland
Lindholm
Silovs

Good:
Hughes
Joshua
Zadorov
Blueger

Need more from:
Lafferty
Pettersson
Cole
Hronek

Should be scratched:
Mikheyev

Other:
Karlsson & Aman, both played well in their playoff debut.

 

[Red]

Unreal. We're about to get Aaron Rome'd again by this garbage league.

 

[PG Canuck]

I'll revel in you for a night.

What happened to that Oilers comeback

 

[thecupismine]

Said it time and time again, this is the best Canucks team I've ever watched at clearing the front of the net.

It was super frustrating seeing the Sedins era Canucks never able to get big boys like Byfuglien out of the crease and get dominated in front of the net. Super nice having the horses to make sure that doesn't happen anymore.

You want to try and get a rebound against the Canucks now you are going to take an absolute beating to do it.

 

[ViD]

I don’t think there is anything to review, Zadorov cross checked him from behind and Soucy accidentally cross checked him in the face while McDavid was falling, he didn’t have any intent to hit him in the face

 

[Red]

Wait, what did Mark Spector say that the guys on the 650 radio are referring to?

Spector said earlier today that our team has a history of institutional surrender in relation to complaining about the refs.

Which is ironic.

 

[VibinCanuck]

Pet peeve from tonight's game. Switching goalies after a faceoff to stall for rest of your top players should be a delay of game. I know there is no rule against it but that's more blatant delay of game than a player accidently shooting the puck out of play. Next thing you know players will fall down pretending to be injured before the faceoff like what happens in the NFL. You're given one timeout for a reason and shouldnt be allowed to blatantly stall for time.

We can only hope the Oilers stupidly wasted that tactic once and get nailed for it later.

 

[wonton15]

It would be very Canucks for this to be anything other than a fine

Do you talk about anything else?
