GDT: WQSF | III | "Momma Said Knock You Out" | Oilers vs. Canucks | 5.12.24 | 7:30PM | SN/CBC

[Just Rude]

Oilers should petition the league to do the old shinny trick when you’re short a goalie. Turn the net around to face the boards and a goal only counts when banked in.

Probably cut their GA in half.

 

[LemonSauceD]

Brock Boeser

 

[Angry Little Elf]

Edmontons goalie for the rest of the playoffs

 

[Red]

There comes a point you can't call Silovs an AHL goaltender anymore.. He's the Canucks starter..

I can't see him spending anymore time in the AHL going forward.

He has 15 games of total NHL experience and looks somewhat shaky.

 

[Three On Zero]

No it doesn't. No team has a hurt goalie playing backup. Why not have Demko backing up at that point?

Demko’s injury is serious enough to keep him out, DeSmith’s isn’t. Hurt players still play all the time

Well Skinner is the Oilers starter and he is an AHLer

 

[eojsmada]

Boeser seems motivated this postseason

 

[OurlordAndSaviorKuch]

JT wasn’t that good for us we send him to Vancouver and suddenly he is god tier.

 

[Czechboy]

NUX suck cuz PDO
Nux wont make playoffs cuz.. PDO
Nux wont win the Pacific cuz PDO
Nux wont win a round cuz... PDO
Nux have no chance at all vs oil..cuz PDO

am i doing it right?

I mean, you are, but I'd wait till you win the series for this victory lap.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

This is a lot of pressure to put on a 3rd strong goalie. I hope DeSmith gets put in to give Shilov a mental break

 

[Hierso]

They iced a roster with not one Canuck player this season.. I can't confirm this but I think that might be the first time in history that not one Canadian player was on an NHL roster..

>Canucks get rid of all the Canucks
>Starts to win.

Big thunk.

 

[Mobiandi]

A 1st for Henrique and Carrick went under-the-radar but it's a terrible trade

 

[eviohh26]

JT wasn’t that good for us we send him to Vancouver and suddenly he is god tier.

He has been great since day 1 for us. Him and Brock gelled right away .

 

[Divine]

Demko’s injury is serious enough to keep him out, DeSmith’s isn’t. Hurt players still play all the time

Exactly, so you could play DeSmith.

Once again, no one is forcing you to play Silovs over DeSmith - so stop with the third stringer excuse.

 

[Three On Zero]

Exactly, so you could play DeSmith.

And risk aggravating his injury? No thanks

 

[robertocarlos]

Demko isn't playing, he's injured.

 

[notsocommonsense]

Mcdavid and Draisatl on pace to play more than any dman again.

That isn't sustainable during a playoff run. What a dumb team.

What choice do they have? Their depth just isn’t there

 

[Rowlet]

They iced a roster with not one Canuck player this season.. I can't confirm this but I think that might be the first time in history that not one Canadian player was on an NHL roster..

That never actually happened, it got down to 1 at some points, but never zero

 

[JAK]

JT wasn’t that good for us we send him to Vancouver and suddenly he is god tier.

He showed sparks, I think the added ice time and responsibilities gave him more and more confidence and built from it.

Miller really matured as a player since his trade too

 

[Divine]

And risk aggravating his injury? No thanks

Then don't have him backing up because he would have to play if Silovs got hurt and then you hurt him too?

Seems like you're making up an injury.

 

[Czechboy]

That never actually happened, it got down to 1 at some points, but never zero

So was that a record?

 

[Axel Sandy Pelikan]

Foegele should be stapled to the bench for the rest of the game. Absolutely braindead f***in play to makle it 3-1.

 

[PanniniClaus]

He has 15 games of total NHL experience and looks somewhat shaky.

He's not a finished product. Wildly athletic , good size. Like Samsonov at times.. too much movement.

 

[Three On Zero]

HFOil imploding and attacking each other instead of poster here…..

 

[rea]

Weird seeing Oilers fans here who kept calling canucks fans whiners for missed calls now whining about missed calls.. Hot takes suck don't they?

Anyways still early, but loving the canucks puck chase today, really hounding the puck this first period
