Don't try to do too much, take the hits that are there. And track Dry and McBaby and keep between them and the net. If Myers can turn into a steady D-man there's tons of hope for Juulsen. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leafs with Tavares and Marner - see above. Extra -- Oilers with Darnell Nurse is probably the worst contract in the entire league. Failed miserably gambling on that guy.

I remember in the mid 80's. Vacationing at Skaha Lake. It wasn't just the Canucks were just not competitive. The Lions were not competitive as well. It made it hell listening to the folks from Calgary and Edmonton bragging about how good their teams were. That's why I'm kind of muted on bashing Edmonton. Of course I did point out, if Edmonton and Calgary are so great? Why are they vacationing in BC? That's why they hate on us so much; they know it is so much nicer here and have had that fact stare them in the face for decades. Like Z said, no wonder they concentrate on hockey and the CFL, there's nothing else to do there. My nephew moved there and said their idea of 'cruising' is to load up a couple big 4x4s with booze and drive around all night. Well, for me, that got boring before I finished high school. And after high school, I moved to Vancouver. 'Nuff said. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nashville and Edmonton thought the same thing about our goalie situation (Silvos)...they gave us no chance against their proven veteran goalies. Same thing happened against Las Vegas when Buble Demko arrived, so I'm going to temper my expectations. I'm going to reserve judgement and just say that if we play hard, finish our checks & stay outta the box, I like our chances. I think the difference for the Oils, was the lack of information on Silovs. Who would have thought that both Demko and DeSmith would get injured. I would think the Oils were delighted with the idea of lighting up this rookie goaltender, who had only 9 NHL games under his belt and not a single NHL playoff game. Pickard has been in and out of the AHL and NHL for many years and the book is out on him. He has had a career season this year, so the Canucks are familiar with his game. He hasn't yet played in the playoffs, which means he hasn't faced an NHL team for about a month. I'll bet that Ian Clark knows the best approach in dealing with this situation.

HKSR Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 5 minutes ago, Ghostsof1915 said: Chicago and Seth Jones says "Hold my beer!" Pretty close... I give the edge to Nurse as worst contract. At least Jones is a RHD, and while he plays for an absolutely terrible Hawks team, his production is about the same as Nurse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pears Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 5 minutes ago, Ghostsof1915 said: Chicago and Seth Jones says "Hold my beer!" To be fair Jones for a few years was a legit top 2-4 guy, Nurse at no point proved he was anything close to that. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steamer4GM Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 3 hours ago, Darius said: agree with you. If they put him in tonight it would be a big signal that they have lost confidence in Skinner. If they lose tonight with Pickard (assuming hes in) how do they go into a game 5 situation with either goalie? Need a meme of Jack Campbell hitchhiking to Vancouver 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuck-Man Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Oh it is going to be Pickard. I had hoped for Campbell, or maybe they'd try Olivier Rodrigue, and hope for the rookie magic that Silovs is having. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ballisticsports Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Now Oilers 3rd stringer in (But Skinner was not even a 3rd on our team) Also Oil realizing McD and Dri on same line have no centre on other 3 lines and wearing those 2 out with no rest for 30 min (Back to PP only and desperation times only together) - no way that 30 min. sustainable IF they were to go to finals League trying desperately to manage series with bizarre suspensions and non suspensions Hopefully the Canucks come out pressing and play a great game and put the Oil on brink of elimination 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucker67 Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 (edited) The Oilers are a bunch of cowards, so the Canucks have to keep a watch out for Nurse, Kane, Hyman, Ekholm etc targeting our more skilled guys (Hughes and Pettersson). A 3rd man in for VAN after a dirty hit hands them a penalty. Play with a swivel on your heads boys, those dirty, oily SOBs are gonna be headhunting.

Playoff performers. Trade the non-playoff guys He’s become my favourite player. We wouldn’t have made it out the first round without him. He’s clearly maturing and coming into his own, we got him at the perfect time. Hell I’d even trade Pettersson to keep him. Look how well we’re doing in the playoffs without him. lol. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck-Man Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 You know, I kind of wanted them to consider Defense, Elias Pettersson. Wearing #48 or something, so it looks close to Forward Elias Pettersson's #40. Add some confusion. But I guess he's just not ready yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goal_thecup Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 2 hours ago, grumpyone said: that 4th line looks like a goon squad Past the top line, they all look more like a Rusky meat wave getting prepped to be carved up by a Canuck Cluster Cloud. I have been concerned that with our attention focused on the 2 divas, RNH might have some success against us. But he does not like the rough-going and we are not going to change course and play shinny with them. Hoping he is going to be the physical presence the Coil need to overcome the Vaunted Vancouver Canucks is soooooo delusional. Look for our bottom lines to eat that shit up.
