Have a feeling Carrick is going to have another big game
Stop freaking out with built in excuses
We have this, the Canucks are done.
The only real question is if we fly directly to Dallas after the game tonight.
He’s the type to chip in in games like this. I remember Max Talbot I think got 2 goals in the finals for the Pens, Sid was injured and they looked out of gas, that’s when the bottom 6 guys step upHave a feeling Carrick is going to have another big game
Jesus, the Canadian media is really throwing its weight behind the Canucks aren't they? Im listening to the newest 32 thoughts and its all glowing shit about the Canucks and how its all house money for them ( I guess they are picking up on Canucks fan language too) talking about how Tocchett if they win will be the beach of the year.
It's the timing of them though tooRefs don't usually make a lot of calls in Game 7s. Each team will be lucky to get 2 powerplays.

Rob Brown said that in game 4 and I agree. He couldn’t understand why the oilers just don’t dump it in and make Vancouvers big D pivot and turn around. They aren’t quick and this is a huge advantage to the forechecker. Instead the Oilers were/are trying to go through a maze of sticks which plays to Vancouvers advantage with those big, tall d menThe Canucks really struggle with an aggressive dump and chase on their big and slower D men. It was evident live now much they struggled handling the puck under a fast forecheck.
Getting multiple attackers on those slower D men quickly will go a long ways tonight.
I remember the Sutherland complaints too, League is dumb for this decision in a game 7 though
In my opinion, the refs that call bad games involving the Oilers are:
Rooney
Schlenker
Hanson
McIsaac
St. Laurent
Pollock
Ghislain Hebert (not Jean, who is the other ref tonight. Jean is pretty decent most of the time)
Lee
Chmielewski
Furlatt
Skillitor
Dwyer
Luxmore
Nicholson
Quite a list but they’re all shit refs, especially the first 6.
Just a reminder folks. This game demands our full attention to ensure that there be no legumes
Especially since this isn’t an up and coming team. This team won’t be back next year as is. Their defence is basically all UFA. Next year could be harsh for them. This is their year. All the house money talk is bs. They were so confident at the start of the series and now that it’s game 7 they are coming up with excuses about how they weren’t supposed to be here and stuff. I don’t buy it either.Like @frag2 said, Friedman is a hardcore Oilers hater
I don't buy the "house money" junk. Game 7 is being played in Vancouver, no? They have dropped a series lead 3 times and had a wobbly series vs their first round WC opponent. (An opponent in transition that was not confident enough to buy at the TDL, to boot.) And this series? They are the higher seed, division winners, regular season series sweep. The mainstream narrative should be that it's their series to lose. There is immense pressure on that team to advance. It would be great to see the media slobbering over them backfire and make them nervous tonight
I could probably name 20+ officials from the 70s and 80s, I dont think I could get to 5 names of current officials. Not sure why other than for what you suggest, names on jerseys and helmets etc.. I also thing the game has become more corporate and much less about personalities as it was in the earlier decades, Storey, Hood, DaMico, Fraser, Swede Knox, Randy Mitton, Jay scharrers, Mike Cvik, etc., there was much less of that and it was more personable. I mean officials went for beers and flew the same commercial flights as players and it seemed to permeate into the public knowing more about these guys.Was bullshitting in another thread a while ago discussing reffing. Us old timers talked about how we don't even know most of these first today. They used to be instantly recognizable, even with helmets on, and names off.
Maybe I'm just getting too old
They have already proven they aren’t matthews/Marner.This is a defining moment for McDavid/Draisaitl.
Are they Gretzky/Messier, Taves/Kane, Crosby/Malkin or Mathews/Mariner.
Simpler is often better. Take a look at the 2 referee system with the "control center." Yikes. When you have 6 different camera angles and ultra slow motion replays you would think that the system would be idiot proof--- but its not. Experience and system integration thru personal contacts seem to be more effective in the long run.I could probably name 20+ officials from the 70s and 80s, I dont think I could get to 5 names of current officials.

Is that a really big Kermit or a really small toilet?
If the Oilers win we should all create twitter accounts and just shit talk him.Jesus, the Canadian media is really throwing its weight behind the Canucks aren't they?

He’s not as aggressive as say a Torres was but Raffi played a huge role in 06 with big hits and just making the other team uncomfortable. If Carrick can channel some of that, he’ll be instrumental.Have a feeling Carrick is going to have another big game
Well put.Simpler is often better. Take a look at the 2 referee system with the "control center." Yikes. When you have 6 different camera angles and ultra slow motion replays you would think that the system would be idiot proof--- but its not. Experience and system integration thru personal contacts seem to be more effective in the long run.
Anyway, the refs are set for tonight and so are the rosters. No excuses allowed--just win.
