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

[ponokanocker]

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

Really like the whole blue line tonight. Can't remember the last time I ever said that.

true but what Ive noticed this game and last is him settling down, doesnt try to force the play so much..kinda like RNH has been since he's been back I think the pts will follow Yak soon enough..he was looking too anxious for the first 27 games or so..

I still say he should be put on a line with Gagner and Paajarvi, but like Krueger said he will get his time..Sounds like Krueger is trying to work with him on the finer points of the NHL game..

He's been guilty a fair amount of times giving away the puck and he does force the puck through too much. It is tough to get anything going when you're being moved around a lot and at times being sat in the final frame. He takes it all with a positive attitude though.

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.

LOL and this is why I come here, you guys are cracking me up today.
8-0

cheap *******

Hey it was a good hat and they don't sell them anymore...

 

[McDNicks17]

Yakupov is the epitome of strong on your stick.

 

[Oiltankjob Fail]

1st overall shift by Yak

 

[Paralyzer008]

It's too bad that Rick Ball is an epic homer.

 

[Diamondillium]

Lol at how early CBC is writing Vancouver off.

 

[rockinghockey]

Nice hard play by Yak; you guys have to remember that he is playing with Jones and Horc, not much skill with those two. They play a different game then Yak does. Put Yak on one of the top 2 lines and he will look really good.

What's the crowd chanting?

Fire Gillis.

 

[ohheyhemsky]

What's the crowd chanting?

I thought I was hallucinating. I kept hearing "Nugent sucks"

Weird.

 

[KarmaPolice]

Come on, get some shots on Lou. Frustrating they can't seem to make a good pass in the offensive zone.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Another no call. Good Lord refs.

 

[ohheyhemsky]

Brown high sticked.

Nothing.

Ref was 5 feet away.

DO YOUR ****ING JOB.

 

[The Nuge]

These refs are ****ing ridiculous

 

[KarmaPolice]

Damn! That looked like it was gonna be a goal.

 

[Gamefreak]

Maybe it's a "you suck" chant, directed at Luongo?

 

[Wheathead]

Don't want us to run up the score, that must be it.

This officiating is a ****ing joke.

 

[Rafters]

Brown high sticked.

Nothing.

Ref was 5 feet away.

DO YOUR ****ING JOB.

Refs are 'managing' the game as usual

 

[ponokanocker]

Same refing we've seen all season.

 

[Hopelesslucicfan]

The refs are going to be responsible for an oiler player getting severely hurt soon... They need to call these games tighter when the other team starts to play dirty because they're out.

 

[Oil In My Veins]

Did I just see RNH separate the puck from Edler with a body check?

 

[tv14]

Wow. We are playing great in the offensive zone tonight.
