That's why I think if the Canucks want the W tonight, they're gonna have to match the effort the Oilers are gonna put in tonight. Their backs are pretty much against the wall now. Canucks will have to match that intensity. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tas Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 I really, really want to see the oilers media cave in on the team tonight and start talking like they always knew the collapse was inevitable. I'm licking my chops. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NucksIn50 Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 1 minute ago, HKSR said: I never said playing a full 60min means dominating a full 60. I said it means giving 110%, skating hard, and sticking to the game plan. The Canucks came out in period 1 last game with a clear purpose. By periods 2 and 3, you can see they clearly deviated from it. That's what I'm talking about. Depth and a TEAM like you indicated are what allows a team to play 60 solid minutes. Ok yes we outplay out score Edmonton 3-1 in period 1. Our team doesn’t intentionally come out in the 2nd or 3rd to sit back. Edmontons big guys are coming out every second shift but the Canucks play within a system they have built over a season which is protecting the middle of the ice. If we were down after 1 we would have to push a bit while not getting away from our structure. I dunno man, I appreciate your concerns/takes I just don’t see it. We can just agree to disagree. I think we will both be happy after a 4-2 win tonight for the good guys and a series victory. Go Canucks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lmao Nux +170 Oils -205 Underdogs entering series, Canucks now slight favourites to advance past Oilers FanDuel didn't give the Canucks much of a shot to beat the Oilers entering their second round series. Vancouver was +235 to win the series prior to its Game 1 win, but up two games to one, the Canucks are now slight favourites to advance to the Western Conference Final. https://www.tsn.ca/nhl/video/underdogs-entering-series-canucks-now-slight-favourites-to-advan~2920854 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's true, but I'm not expecting that when I think we've only seen 20 to MAYBE 30min of it the past 2 games. If we can match the Oilers intensity for 60min, I think we win anyway with our depth,defence, and goaltending. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Rip The Mesh Posted May 14 Popular Post Share Posted May 14 Well it's the Oiler's choice, but I don't know if I'd be confident with a netminder that has the puck in his glove but is still looking for it. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go Canucks That's pretty worrisome then if the Edmonton big guns can push us back into a defensive shell where we get 4 shots on net at the other end. What happens if we don't have a solid lead after the 1st and the Edmonton big guns come out and do the same thing? I'm nervous for tonight because of 2 things: 1. Pickard could be a wild card. Odds are he will suck, but you NEVER know with goalies. They're a weird breed and we traditionally have struggled against backups for whatever reason. 2. Oilers have their backs against the wall. They will push harder than they've pushed all series. If the Canucks win 4-2 tonight, I'll be back here to celebrate with ya! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go Canucks nucks can play way better than they did in the third tocchet himself said it was a consequence of flipping pucks out rather than skating it out also karlsson looks way better on peteys wing than hogs did, expect peteys line to get more chances this game 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsof1915 Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 The more we win against Edmonton the more I feel karma is coming back to bite Edmonton. 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? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteyBoeser Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Canucks have a bad habit of making rookie goalie look like Vezina finalist. Refs will try to call any big hits on us. I have a bad feeling about tonight 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 (edited) I think the Oilers are going to try to outmuscle the Canucks tonight. We need to keep laying the body and making it tough, but let them try to be intimidating. If we can maintain composure and put last game and events behind us I can see the Oilers taking lots of penalties out of frustration. The oilers once frustrated are their own worst enemy and they’ve just about lost it We will put this one away 7-3 Edited May 14 by Johnny 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a team. They don't get too down on themselves. They just keep plugging away. 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
