Why does Giuseppe have more minutes than Lindholm

coz RT loves his grinders.. the 4th line have more minutes than EP's line + joshua.. i thought EP line was ok.. had that 1 good shift and it was his line that had the post?

I f'n hate the Oilers.

 

McDavid's first shift holding on like a mofo. 

Clobber them. Kane too....get a restraining order. 

Gotta pound them, Hyman and Drasaitl… make them reluctant to chase the puck. 

[Conscience]

Pdg with more minutes than any forwards exxept miller suter and boes

What's with the shots? We saw 2 in the beginning that were definitely on net and the were subtracted. Noticed this a couple times in Nashville too.. over under bets on Canucks being enforced?

It's driving me nuts they have been doing this like the last 10 games of the season and into the playoffs. It's maddening.

LOL, I understand what the both of you mean.

[WHL rocks]

If we can get next goal to make it 2 - 1 it's a new game. We've had some good looks. 

 

I think it'll be a much better 2nd period for us.. 

[Plsdontdoit]

Oilers one goal away from putting this to bed

Other than the last shift, Miller's line is getting wrked hard.

You mean that last shift that lasted like 2 minutes?

 

Yeah, they'll be fine.

[1-d]

This forum crashed just as we did.  Now it's back up so will we.

[Breadnbutta]

Lol at people complaining about DiG over Pods, or Cole over Juuls....

 

For God's sake who is scoring Edmontons goals? McLeod? Foegele? 

 

No its Hyman, Ekholm, pressure from McD, Drai...

 

Our best players gotta be the best players.

 

Lots of hockey left.

Can't make mental mistakes or take penalties against the Oilers. Two goals from those already.

The 2nd goal, not sure where Cole wanted to send the puck, straight into the board behind net and over to Oilers

Can he just show up for a shift each period? One shift that is dominant in the offensive zone is all I am asking for in each period. Is that too much to ask for?

The Miller line’s shift towards the end of the period was close. 

[coolboarder]

I wonder if Nashville's defensive posture is affecting the Canucks offense game translated to Oilers??  I hope that they revert back to their selves sooner rather than later.

Refs putting the whistles away helps us over the long term.

[OldFaithfulcap]

Crappy 1st period.

 

Want to see more energy. Avs came back from 3-0, why not us too.

 

Rather see zad shots instead of cole. Usual call for the bluegers but unlikely. Need some better chances. More hits if refs are going to let them get away with bullshit

[PeteyBoeser]

Oilers are great defence..

Zadorov can handle both those requests. 

 

He'll get it done here in the 2nd. 

[Plsdontdoit]

1 goal in 19 games is wild  for a 11m

Breathe at them Petey.

We’ve looked excellent 5 on 5. Hopefully we see a couple calls our way or at least no calls against this period. 

 

I'm not sure I'd say that........they managed some zone time, but even 5v5 they looked overmatched right now.  That said, they have some good shifts, just not shots.  You're not beating the Oilers with 4 shots per period

[TortorellasRant]

This reeks of a coaching problem. I don't understand how you can simply struggle to do ANYTHING offensively. Unlike the regular season where you bounce between cities every second night, this is a war and our system has been studied ad nauseam and no changes have been made to counter the opponent. We went from a top 5 scoring and GD team in the league to an incredibly desperate 15 shots a game. This might work against Nashville, barely, but the Oilers offense is far superior. It'll be a quick series without drastic improvement in our system.

[J-23]

Let’s have a good period.

I just think we're not used to their speed. Need to figure it out ... quickly!

I think the problem is we're much slower
