Blue Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 1 hour ago, Moeknows said: Where do all these negative turncoat posters come from after a bad loss? They be like " The only reason we won the last game was we scored more goals then they did" "Boeser didn't block a shot, Hughes only has a point per game, Silovs let a goal in...we suck, fire the coach" The negativity on HF boards was off the charts. Just pathetic. As if beating the Oilers to get to a cushy 3/1 lead in their barn was going to be easy. The Canucks played their worst game of the series and Edm played their most balanced and best game. And they still almost fucked it up. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-dlc- Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 44 minutes ago, grumpyone said: point 1: we looked like we were playing tentative, almost afraid to take a penalty from hard play. We allowed them too much space. ( did the league tell the team to knock it off with the rough stuff to allow their 'golden investment' to play HIS game ? ) I also have felt/said the same. If you don't think these decisions that are made have an overall impact on the flow of the game...they do. They've basically given the Oilers a free pass to do whatever and the Canucks have been addressed. That makes for a bit of an uneven playing field. Thing is, my thinking is "do it anyhow". Go at them, hard. But I understand them being tentative as the Oiler's pp is their strong point and why give them that? I saw tentative too when they came out. Sad that the handcuffs have been put on one team but not the other. Sure, Kane and Nurse in the box is fine. But that cross check by Kane? By the standards set, THAT should've been open to receive extra attention but won't be due to the wrong call being made on the ice. High stick? No...that was the definition of a cross check. Which is very suspect in how that was called....I do believe there's a strong push to get the Oilers and the NHL's poster boy through. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That happens to everyone. Am I the only one that notices a few top players down a bit of late. I'm not starting a witch hunt here, just trying to figure out why certain things aren't working like they were and I don't want to hear (well the Oilers are such a good team ) Yeah. Hoglander has the same amount of even strength goals as Connor Mcdavid ffs. Hughs got nailed a few times in the first couple games. I think he's dinged up a bit. Petey was sick during the Nashville series. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aman/karlsson did fine for one game but prefer to see hogs and another in (why not raty?). The way he was fired up for the 8 other playoff games and has 1 assist to show for it?

That looks a hell of a lot better than Toccs lineup for yesterday's game. We are the deeper team. We can run the lotto line and still have a bonafide 2nd line center with solid wingers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strawbone Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 It’s a best of 3 with home ice advantage. Oilers have more offense, we have better defense and goaltending. I like our chances. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's had two highly skilled players now suffer a major drop in production under his watch.........one he drove out of town. He has to stop trying to change players like Petey and Kuz and learn how to use the tools those kinds of players have to make the team better. If we're seeing one thing in this series, it's that letting highly skilled players play to their strengths is a smart way to do things. I love sound defensive hockey and appreciate grinding out a win, but the modern NHL is made for the highly skilled. 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have WAY too many friends in E-town, and I'd just hate to have to put up with their rubbing it in about their stupid-stars being the greatest thing since sliced bread. That's exactly it. I think majority of us would consider this season a great success even if we didn't make round 3. I mean, think about it, we lost our Vezina calibre starting goaltender after 1 game these playoffs! The problem most of us have is if we lose to the damn Oilers. I don't speak for everyone, but if we were playing Dallas or the Avs right now, I wouldn't be as upset if we lost this round. It's just how much Oilers fans and media will gloat if they win this. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s Trumpian-world kind of fodder. Believe in them & they will feel it…& rise up! Do they make their own luck or in part receive it! Like when Canada lead the world in Olympic gold medals in Vancouver 2010, as our nation collectively believed! If too many of us crab at them & falter in our belief & loyalty…the likelihood that they lose increases….& vice versa. These guys are like family to us. Don’t lose faith that their best efforts will emerge! And, why risk it….if I’m right? Believe! These hippie type statements do not sway my mind one bit. If this were a thing, I am sure the world would be in a much better place than it is now. And to bring politics in to the conversation.

Give Petey a legit top 6 guy to work with and see what happens from there. No more excuses then. Agree with you. I look at the lines as the best pairs possible: Miller- Brock Lindholm - Petey Garly - Joshua We have seen Garland-blue-Joshua have great success, dont know why they are not re-united to free up Lindholm to play with EP. Unless there are some match up (Defensive) reasons im missing. The post above shows that Petey prodced better away from Mikh...come to think of it every point that Petey has accumulated in the playoffs has probably been away from Mikheyev (dont hold me to that im just going off my ol memory) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
