GDT: XXXIV | "Tipping Point" | Oilers vs. Canucks | 3.30.13 | 8:00PM | HNIC

[CantHaveTkachev]

this game could be 5-0 or 6-0 if it weren't for posts and a few decent Luongo saves

the Nucks playing at half speed and the Oilers are great defensively

 

[The Head Crusher]

At the game right now, crazy first period. Wish I brought a hat, second hat trick scored at a game I have been to but each time I forgot my hat.

I loved the way the Oilers played that 2nd period. They didn't go into a shell and they kept the pressure on.

That was honestly one of the best periods of hockey I've seen from them even though they didn't score. They had plenty of chances and played hard with and without the puck.

Dubnyk is having a very solid night as well. Not a whole lot of tough shots on him but he's made a few solid saves to keep it scoreless.

Yakupov looks a lot like a dumb rookie out there at times. Hopefully he busts out and pots a goal to break his scoring slump soon.

Love the canucks radio feed today--they just refuse to give ANY credit to the Oilers

When they post the pod casts of the pregame show you guys should listen--game did not go the way they wanted to--to say the least

 

[McChucky]

that's so 2006. new team, need a new acronym.

It will soon be time. Its name shall not be spoken until then. No new name required. Because it just is....

 

[oilers2k10]

Yak reminds me of a young Kadri with even better shooting ability and better speed. Shows flashes of skill but not the wherewithal to use it yet. In another year or 2 he could be a guy to carry a 2nd line by himself

Have you not heardm Gregor says you cant have four star forwards on your team..I mean Crosby, Malkin, Neal, Kunitz, Iginla are good players but definitely not stars...and Dupuis is a 4th liner at best as well..Get rid of Yak and Eberle we need more soda cans and pilons!

They don't know how to give others credit. Especially when it comes to hockey.


I don't blame them, as they JUST started watching hockey 5 years ago. They'll be gone soon, with maybe a riot in between, but they'll be gone.

History matters. Take away all the history and you end up with the canucks.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

I love what I'm seeing, I haven't seen this team play this well in a few years. The Nucks look hapless

Better watch out its going to be the 3rd period.

Two posts in that period..could very easilt be 6-0..plus whitneys miss and Yakupovs just about one timer, or Petrell and Eberles breakaways..Canucks played no better that period..oilers just didnt finish as well, they got great chances though..

I think Oilers score another three tonight..

Sadly, Im still gonna wear a bag in my avatar.

lolololol

 

[HallOfGreatness4]

Get me one more tonight Taylor

 

[KarmaPolice]

Petry leading all Oilers in ice-time so far with 15:50. Smid close behind at 15:23. Next closest is Horcoff with a more than 2 minute difference (just over 13 minutes). This is what our top D pairing should look like. Let's see if they can keep it up.

Edit: Ryan Whitney 4th in minutes: 12:26

 

[Diamondillium]

Missed the first period, so that disappointed me, but so glad we're playing so well tonight.

Keep it up boys!

well duh! gregor is 100% right, we need to trade yakupov for whatever we can get for him... clearly we can't have 4 good forwards on the team at the same time, jeez, everybody knows this

 

[dixs35]

bah Smid just called Gagner a Hobbit on 630 ched. hahahahahahaha

 

[KarmaPolice]

If they pull this out in this fashion, maybe they should get boo'd off the ice again? You know, keep them on their toes.

the oilers will not make the playoffs if you don't update the stats in your signature

That was from earlier today.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

I wish I was at the game tonight.

I was at the game Hall had his first hat trick but I refused to throw my hat because it was a WC Champions hat.

 

[rockinghockey]

They have to finish the game playing hard and get more shots on net.

 

[Gord]

bah Smid just called Gagner a Hobbit on 630 ched. hahahahahahaha

really? Awesome!!!

 

[Oil In My Veins]

Oil just need to get through the first few minutes without giving up a goal.

Come out skating hard and don't give the Canucks a sniff.
