Darius Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 12 minutes ago, Smashian Kassian said: It is annoying how much McDavid dives & whines. If boarding & slewfoots are legal I hope we get take a few good runs at McDavid. Would love to see the Oilers media crying had those plays happened against McD. Anyways on the game, I thought the Canucks really struggled on their clears. Can't prolong their possession when there's a play to be made. Canucks played pretty well, even protected the house decently well when the ice was tilted, Soucy just makes a terrible play & McDavid has no problem staying on his feet when there's a scoring chance to be had of course. its funny watching Kane whine about being slew footed in the last series and Doughty telling him "you do it all the time". 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How they missed McJesus' stick to Hughes face was beyond me. 4 officials, Toronto following the game, and how many live TV broadcasts to witness it? Last nights officiating crew was either corrupt or incompetent. Either way they should not be officiating a professional sporting event were people spend huge coin to attend. At the very least the officials deserve the criticism disgruntled fans send their way. Edited May 11 by Joe King 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pycnotic Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 (edited) Mik 1 goal in 58 games why is this useless plug still on Peteys line? There’s nothing happening on the bottom line, they’re not creating anything, there not hitting, there not fighting, they just come out and skate for a few seconds, Blueger at least penalty kills and wins faceoffs but pizza man, mik and lafferty are useless. The team needs some fresh blood in the lineup. and fuck Kelly Sutherland Edited May 11 by Pycnotic 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post DownUndaCanuck Posted May 11 Popular Post Share Posted May 11 Can't start running them and getting ugly or you know we'll end up with 5 PPs against us and Edmonton probably scores on 3-4 of them and the game's done. Our best hope is that we wear down McDavid and Draisaitl. They're playing almost 30 minutes, Draisaitl with maybe an injury, we've got to play them harder and wear them down and then let our depth outscore them. We sat back and gifted the Oilers the puck far too many times. Looks like their top line's going to take every 2nd or 3rd shift and tonight we just let them come back in waves whereas we should be running the play and make McDavid start his shift without the puck defending. Sounds like Tocchet knows what needs to be done. We crushed them in game 1 with our depth, they respond by killing us with their top guys, now let's see how we respond and defend against that. Boy Demko arriving in game 5 would be exactly what we need to stone them. 3 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kragar Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 2 hours ago, grumpyone said: the BIGGEST problem is that most of those missed calls should've been MAJORs... McD 4 min high stick, Nurse ( on Petey ) 5 and a game for boarding, Kane on Hughes 5 for intent to injure (slew foot) 5 min major. wait... on second thought... maybe we WANT Nurse on the ice, a $9 million pylon...hmm might have to thin on that one. I don't know if they should have been majors. I was hoping Kane would be called for hitting Petey, but I wasn't expecting a major there since Petey put himself in an odd place. It looked less bad in the replay. I could be talked out of that, though, especially if other angles were available. On Hughes, that looked more like a trip. A dangerous one for sure, but given the angle (not being hauled backwards over the trip) I could see it not being considered a slew foot. In any case, some pretty easy penalties could be called. I was wondering though whether the refs can discuss the missed high stick, since blood was involved. I know linesmen can call majors when the refs miss them, but not sure if the double minor was something the refs could collaborate on and confirm as a group. If so, this is doubly bad, since Hughes was right near the puck when it happened. Someone had to have seen it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandmaster Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 So what’s with Ian Cole? He is responsible for 3 of the Oiler goals in game 1 and scored the game winner for the Oilers in game 2. I’ve never seen this before. Two games back to back like that. It’s time to replace him with Juulsen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, it’s to the contrary. A permanent break from the team would do good for the Canucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take the few bad luck goals Cole has caused and hope he bounces back and moves on but Juulsen out their with the Edmonton second change on home ice for 15 minutes against two 2PPG players will be a goal against on every other Juulsen shift. As bad as these mistakes by Cole has been, he does a lot of good as well. Soucy made some dumb plays which lead to goals - particularly throwing a blueline hit and letting McDavid go off on a breakaway, but no one mentions this. Their speed is making our D make mistakes, we've got to be more composed everywhere. Juulsen is the least composed of the 7 we have. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soucy and Cole look like they should probably be consistent 3rd pair guys. Zadorov is clearly a top 4 capable LHD. Myers is somewhere between top 4 and bottom pair. Hronek looks like he would be better as a 2nd pair guy than top pair. Will definitely be interesting how Allvin approaches the D core this off season.

Either they should not be officiating a professional sporting event were people spend huge coin to attend. At the very least the officials deserve the criticism disgruntled fans send their way. Here's the real problem: Before the game even started, people knew Sutherland wasn't going to behave himself. The league absolutely needs to be very uncomfortable right now. Ignoring the problem is precisely what the higher ups are counting on so they can avoid this dirtbag being held accountable for his corruption. At some point, a team is going to pointedly call out this criminal for his blatant match fixing, and I am sure the league wants to avoid that publicity. This can all be avoided by simply not allowing Sutherland to ever disgrace the sport again with his misconduct. Enough is enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strawbone Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 I’m surprisingly relaxed about last night’s result. It was a good close game, could have gone either way.
