The Aquaman Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 Just now, HarbularyBattery said: again, who CARES if we're babying him. its not the regular season. we dont have time for him to "learn the lesson". if his line is doing nothing, we lose nothing by splitting it and putting him as a weapon on another line. That’s why you and I aren’t NHL coaches. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mika has been a massive disappointment since Christmas... first he was just snakebitten, but now it looks like he has totally lost confidence... And unless the get EP going somehow, I fear it won't end well... Yeah we literally play with 3 lines. That Petey line is just to eat up some minutes. Problem is they're the only line that is negative in terms of +/- these playoffs. It's brutal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew not getting a winger like Toffoli for Petey is gonna bite us but then again with how Petey played, trading for another winger probably ain't gonna help much. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarbularyBattery Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 1 minute ago, RU SERIOUS said: The Lind- with Petty Experiment was attempted and proved to be a huge failure and why Tock-it keeps them apart. Petty needs to be on the lotto line. the only line that has ever worked for him. i think lind with petey is worth another shot personally. im kinda worried he will mess with boeser and millers mojo, dont wanna mess with that line for a whole game. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spook007 Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 42 minutes ago, stawns said: They have to play game 5 like an elimination game.......load up and shorten the bench and just play the bejesus out of your top guys. Absolutely... To be fair on Oilers, they jumped out from the start and played like we did in game 3... We need to start better... Though Cole had a tough start to the game, and the unfortunate pinch for a hit, let the Oilers in easily... (not just Juulsens fault as there were play plenty forwards not helping him out)... I believe if Canucks starts on the front foot, they be able to beat them... even convincingly, but they gotta start strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RU SERIOUS Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 1 minute ago, JeremyCuddles said: Yeah, all he did was leave Draisaitl all alone on the powerplay. Lol. Progress. It's astonishing Tock-it leaves him in the line up after being directly reponsible for two losses and a very near miss on a third game. He's a curse!

People can blame EP's linemates all they want (I agree he hasn't been given a fair line)......but that doesn't mean that he gets a free pass. How often have you seen him get to the danger zones in front of the net? How often has he been effective on the PP? How often have you seen him outskate anyone out there? Ya.....I'm not dumping on him being on this team.....I'm dumping on his effort level and his price tag next year. I think that's justified. 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's ok. It's going to be tight to the end. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And unless the get EP going somehow, I fear it won't end well... what has disappointed me is his back check. Seems like when a play goes the other way, rather than stop put your head down and try to force a turnover he just stops skating…..often. maybe he really is gassed but if that’s the case-not good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EP needs a power forward who will bulldoze through and take the attention. EP needs to feel safe out there. He looks timid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-23 Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 Joshua - Miller - Garland Hoglander - Pettersson - Boeser Suter - Lindholm - Blueger Mikheyev - Aman/Lafferty - Karlsson Just let the 3rd line play the defensive matchup and let the top two lines go to work. Can't have Miller line being on the defensive end for 40 minutes every game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This powerplay literally can't even get setup. The Sedins were never nearly this bad. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I don't quite get, why Petey has sunk so deep, but playing with Mika the black hole and Lafferty won't give him much encouragement... Bluger and Kalsson with Petey actually looked a lot better... Just don't quite get Mika... he had 2-3 big chances to staple an Oiler to the wall but didn't....Go figure... If you can't score, at least hit and defend as if you life depended on it... Not saying we paying them big bucks to do so, but at least that is a help of some sorts.... Doing zilch is helping nobody.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Aquaman Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 (edited) One problem that I can see so far, is that our boys are scared to take a penalty. Because that’s all the Oilers have is a PP, Just hit them hard, don’t hold back. What a nice step up to suspend Soucy…joke of a call. NHL wanted this series tied. Seems like they want McCrybaby and Crysatil, vs MacKinnon and Makar. Edited May 15 by The Aquaman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't really blame our PK, It's pretty much automatic for the Coilers against any team. A 4 min PP should have had at least a goal, no excuses. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
