Dude was jacked and charismatic, it checks out

Well endowed too

 

[bbud]

I do feel the fix is in from the nhl

League wants McDavid in the finals

How else do you explain the goalie interference call? Or the non call on the holding of Myers stick ?

You cant buttmans been doing same since his NBA days

 

[SillyRabbit]

Hughes should be on the ice every second McDrai are, and then some.

That's how cups are won, riding top players into the dirt.

Bouchard averaging 3 more minutes than the literal Norris winner is definitely puzzling

 

[Jovofan]

I'd love to see a fast start to this period. Tie it up in the first 5 minutes and keep the pressure on

 

[Brock Boeser Laser Show]

Somehow not getting a PP out of the sequence at the end of the period is a joke.

Team overall looks much more dangerous today.

Had an easy out to make up for the missed call.

Give janmark a 2 minute penalty for diving. Don't give Myers anything.

 

[LordBacon]

Take away that insane point streak fueled by Hughes, Miller and Pettersson at the beginning of the season and his season looks very average.

If he wasnt a RHD he wouldnt even be considered imho.
We're in R2G5 and he still hasnt scored a point.

 

[SopelFanThe3rd]

Kind of like I’ve been dying all year…

Sorry to hear.

 

[Scumbag Frank]

Dutchyshen was hilarious without even trying. Super entertaining on TSN without having to be gimmicky tryhards like Dan and Jay

 

[aquaweenie]

Our inability to clear the puck has been absolutely back breaking for this team.

Our break out has been abysmal this series and zero adjusemtns have been made. I love Tocch but between the breakout and constantly playing Ian Cole im pissed

 

[MS]

At least Myers got a free punch out of it

More like a small shove followed by the biggest dive I’ve seen in the entire playoffs.

 

[moiderer]

Hronek played that 2on1 terribly. Brown is a guy who’s scored once in like 60 games

Take the pass FFS

It was pretty bad. Take the guy or the pass, not neither.

Potential injury aside, just a shocking lack of intensity and decisiveness all playoffs.

 

[Jyrki]

I'd have hope because systematically we had a good response to all the terrible penalties and early 5v5 but the amount of mistakes under little pressure is insane.

 

[Lat]

Hughes should be on the ice every second McDrai are, and then some.

That's how cups are won, riding top players into the dirt.

Agreed. He should at least be high 20s.

Even Bouchard is playing 27m as compared to Hughes at 24m

 

[Regress2TheMeme]

Well endowed too

Pierre McGuire knows what's up.

 

[MikeK]

Only being down by 1 is a blessing after that period. The Oilers had multiple chances to put this game away and didn't. This game is still for the taking.

 

[Kryten]

I imagine that’s more of a consequence of Cole, rather than by design.

Yea, title should be Drai targeted Cole the most that period

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Bouchard averaging 3 more minutes than the literal Norris winner is definitely puzzling

Bouchard has decidedly been the best defenceman in this series, Canucks haven't had anyone play at his level. Frustrating

 

[VanJack]

Take away that insane point streak fueled by Hughes, Miller and Pettersson at the beginning of the season and his season looks very average.

Not much doubt about it.....from the all-star break on, the Canucks were basically a .500 team. So they hardly entered these playoffs on any kind of roll. That's why there was some surprise they managed to oust the Preds in six games.

But this series has brought them crashing down to earth in a hurry. Allvin still has a lot of work to do.

Unpopular opinion, if the oilers get into the final, at least won the cup. I am really sick and tired not seeing a canadian team winning a cup. At some point, i might not care if the leafs won the cup, i just want to see a canadian team winning.

 

[Grip it N RYP it]

Well endowed too

Pierre McGuire, knew full well.

 

[LadyJet26]

I haven't posted on this board since 2011. Got caught up in the local team. Been watching the Canucks again. My god Cole is awful. Awful. Awful. Awful. Canucks need to get bodies in front and get pucks to the net. It's ridiculous they haven't tested Prickard (on purpose). They're playing decent but seem to deflate when Coilers scored to go ahead 2-1. Go Canucks Go!!!!

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

Edmonton DOES look fresher though.

Miller, Boeser and Hughes look totally spent after some shifts.

 

[M2Beezy]

Honestly we are seeing 2 years of management making this team better and I do believe they will continue only need a few pieces.
We weren't supposed to make playoffs lol

I love you @bbud this is so true. Team is getting way better very fast

 

[aquaweenie]

Dutchyshen was hilarious without even trying. Super entertaining on TSN without having to be gimmicky tryhards like Dan and Jay

He was the kind of guy that when he told a joke or a story it was like you were in on an inside joke. Very funny guy.

 

[heatedskates]

Hronek 8 years at $6.25 million would be a good deal for both sides i feel

Agreed. Cap rising. He's not this bad. Now the injury shouldn't make him play that 2 on 1 that way, but still.
