That’s a f***ing suspension all day long.

Agreed, can't slash someone like that. 1-2 games for McDavid you think?

 

[kingsholygrail]

They should have McDavid wear a red vest so everyone knows he can't be touched.

 

[TMLegend]

PDO takes the 2-1 series lead against the PP.

Leading the playoffs in PDO right now.

This team has been a blind-spot for analysts since the beginning of the season.

They're just not that good. They better enjoy their run of good fortune while it lasts, because they're the #1 candidate for steep regression next year.

The shots were 45:18 for Edmonton and they hit like 4 posts lol.

To quote myself in the Rangers/canes thread: 'there are shots, and then there are shots.'

Shots were pretty even until canucks shut it down. Then edmonton mainly threw hurricane-style garbage from the outside.

Soucy might sit for a game

Pietrangelo got 1 game for a Paul Bunyan hack… Soucy will get nothing and no one on the Oilers will do a damn thing about it either.

 

[M2Beezy]

As a neutral fan, that was quite another enjoyable game. The better and objectively more likeable team won again. 2-1 Canucks, I think they take it here against a 2 player team

 

[Pogotheclown]

That better be a suspension

No mcdavid only slashed at the legs, if it would have been higher, he would have been suspended for sure.

 

[Canucks LB]

Slashing someone in the leg is not the same as getting crosschecked in the neck/chin.

Don’t start something you can’t finish

 

[Cup or Bust]

This series is probably one of the worst playoff series I have seen. Barely any good scoring chances, weak goaltending and one team destroying the other in the 3rd period and the other just icing the puck for 20 minutes. That's what's it's been for 3 games. Ugly hockey.

 

[Artorius Horus T]

lol did we watch the same game?

Are you just looking at the shot totals, the Canucks as a philosophy don’t waste shots on low percentage chances. Once they got a healthy lead will play a less open style.

The Oil didn’t look like a legitimate threat unless on the PP or a man up with net pulled.

Thank you for using that word, instead of legit...

 

[rea]

How do the Oilers not do anything here with more skaters on the ice?

Yea I'd love to see rnh go up and do smthn to soucy and zads

 

[jackjohnson]

I don't know how much the oilers are paying cole but it's not enough. Rest of the oilers need to rally behind him because he's been an absolute stud

It would be a sweep for Canucks witjout cole. Cole scored half the oilers goals and gave them lots of PP.

 

[Aqualung]

Soucy might sit for a game

Hope it’s Cole…

 

[Rowlet]

How did only one person pick Van

The real question is what does Ryan S. Clarke want his statue made out of?

 

[Three On Zero]

Soucy might sit for a game

Doubtful

They're just not that good. They better enjoy their run of good fortune while it lasts, because they're the #1 candidate for steep regression next year.

Or, they weren't as bad as they looked under Bruce, a coaching change and some key additions turned it around. Got to keep up man

 

[Bizz]

Edmonton's not gonna win this series if they need to score 5 or more goals every game.

 

[WhyYouHaveToBeMad]

Canucks vs Stars is going to be a great series

for the stars

 

[McFlyingV]

Soucy might sit for a game

Probably not. As an Oilers fan in his defence he meant to cross check McDavid in the chest area and because Zadorov cross checked him from behind he got him in the face.

 

[Zerotonine]

typical classless nucks fan.

He's a flames homer

 

[josra33]

Oilers fans that came into the Avs-Stars thread are looking quite silly right now.

 

[heynowbababooey]

Man that was so satisfying seeing Mcdavid get cross checked right there . He thinks he’s untouchable and can only dish out dirty plays . Glad he got put on his ass woooo baby ! Lets Goooooooo !!! Haha bitch punk asss Mcdavid

Hasn't he sent your team packing 3 seasons straight? Lmao

 

[DearDiary]

Good luck and better goaltending. Those are the reasons the Canucks won. Onto the next one.

Dress Carrick and have him beat someone into a fine red mist. Not like any of the rest of our bottom six is doing anything.

Canucks won because of depth. Can't win games in the playoffs when you're only trying to score with 1 line. Oilers would have a much better chance of winning games if they ran McDavid/Draisaitl/RNH on 3 lines

 

[oilers4life5]

That should be a suspension. Dirty cheap shit.

 

[WaitingForThatCab]

McDavid slashed Soucy in the leg, and Soucy slashed him back. No issue with that. The cross-check to the neck / chin was a bit much, though. I think at least a fine is probably warranted for that.
