Shift-4 Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 A little late but still feels good. About five minutes before the game winner I was thinking 'JT is probably pissed he hasn't scored a goal in a while' BAMMMMM! lol And how about a blowout next time. My heart can't take this. Time to add cardio to workout schedule. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McWiner Baby should have been called for unsportsmanlike like for his dive when Hogs got a penalty. Petey’s play was big boy hockey. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post -dlc- Posted May 17 Popular Post Share Posted May 17 1 hour ago, stawns said: I'm not a zealot, nor do I enjoy being one. I watch the game and enjoy analyzing the game as it is. I've been a Canucks fan for 50 years, I don't need people telling me how to be a fan of the team. I was also one of the very few who said this was a playoff team if they dumped BB and got a coach who would implement a defensive system. So, Id say I'm far more positive than most who, boringly, throw around the term "wet blanket", as most of them are only "cheerleading" when the team is doing well. Fortunately, I could not possibly care less about people like that. Analyzing the game as it is? Some of your recent analysis about the team just doesn't sit well: Oilers in 6 (that was a recent comment) Coaching staff needs to realize this isn't sustainable for the playoffs Oilers have completely dominated the Canucks Refs are beyond reproach Miller was good as gone and you constantly remark on negatives about him despite the fact that he's an absolute beast and leader on the team When your analysis is proven wrong you don't make any adjustments...you stay stuck on the stance and don't budge. Your analysis is no more credible than the rest of us. Opinions, that's what we all have here. It's ok to have them but people will respond. If you don't care what people "like that" think it means you're not reading the room. And we can comment on what you're saying about our team if it's off. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boudrias Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 (edited) Full credit to the players but Tocchet has been equally good. Shuffles the lineup and it pays off. Look at the TOI spread. Another shocker is to see how little physical play came from the Oiler roster. Canucks out muscled them plain and simple. Two ways to win a game, muscle and finesse, Canucks did both. Cap off to the fans. The Petey chant was classy and the JT Miller chant a salute to the leader of this playoff. No disrespect to Huggy.

Time to add cardio to workout schedule. Yep, me too. I said it to my son....I saw how he skated to the bench after one shift and his body language completely showed that. He hates to lose and when he struggles it really becomes a matter of him going into beast mode. Those games are SO tough....couldn't watch when the Oilers were in our end for the dying minutes. Had my towel over my face and just listened for good news. The Oilers are smug and arrogant so I expect them to come out hard and resort to some of their dirty tactics next game. Definitely get away with much more than our team does. I hope we can close them out in 6 and bring them (and their fans) back down to earth. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The basis of “charging” as it applies to that rule is it has to do with “distance travelled by the skater” EP stood still , pivoted, braced himself .. many players jump when they get hit , you can absorb the velocity of the hit and stay on your feet . Sometimes when things aren't going right, a refs got to get creative! Gotta give him credit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cocanuck Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 Canucks played great last night,, as did the oilies.. was so impressed with everybody especially shilovs! I usually dong comment on officiating but there were no doubt some interesting calls. This leads me to think if the league truly wants the oil bags in the final 4 do they have sutherland ref game six or seven?? Hmmm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Steamer4GM Posted May 17 Popular Post Share Posted May 17 5 hours ago, ManbeastMARK said: Don’t you dare disrespect Ray Ferraro here. He’s more than “Cami’s husband”. He played in the NHL and has done everything he can to call Canucks games and save us from Tomlinson. I’ve no idea why but some here seem to hate him or his delivery. Go figure. For me, he’s the most insightful and entertaining colour guy in the business and I’ve always enjoyed and learned from him and his work from international games and NHL alike. So glad he’s likely with Shorty full time next season. Only wish we had the two of them or even Shorty n Cheech doing all our playoff games 1 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goal_thecup Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 25 minutes ago, RupertKBD said: I'm a referee, although I've obviously never worked a game at the NHL level.... I'll preface this by saying that I don't believe the league or the refs have it in for the Canucks, but this series is really testing my resolve. I don't believe McDavid deliberately high sticked Huggy, but I also don't understand why there was no huddle with the linesmen to see if anyone saw it. I was okay with the one game suspension to Soucy and the fine to Z, because I know that professional sports leagues are always going to favor their "superstars". What I couldn't understand is zero repercussions for Hyman's cross check on Zadorov. Hyman's a very good player, but he should not be untouchable.... That being said, I've seen it all before. Strange decisions by refs and DoPS and weak attempts by commentators to justify them....until the "charging" call against Petey last night. I kept hearing it over and over from analysts and pundits...."I've never seen that call before". As a ref myself, and someone who's played well over 1000 competitive hockey games, neither have I. It was an absolute head scratcher and whichever of the zebras made the call is going to feel pretty ridiculous watching that replay. Thanks for your insight. Perhaps I quibble, but that ref should be feeling something a hell of a lot stronger than ridiculous. The entire hockey world was stunned. Edmonton players had no idea who was getting the penalty. The commentators were incredulous. The league and the players' association should have a full investigation. There should be repercussions. We won; and that is a bloody good thing. If we had not, that ref may have felt the repercussions long before any investigation produced conclusions. The other pro leagues seem to be making inroads into corruption of officials; whether corruption or incompetence, that ref should be toast. 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Combover Posted May 17 Popular Post Share Posted May 17 People trying to justify the terribly stupid /fabricated call on petey. so every time a player is along the boards and jumps to absorb a hit should now be called standing still charging. the refs were terrible I haven’t heard one plausible defence for that call just excuses. ive heard a lot of be never seen that call I’ve never heard of that call charging requires travelling even ray Ferraro said the officiating was terrible i guess petey should be called standing bull the only bull in the universe that can charge and hurt people while jumping vertically and standing still…. Hope Vancouver is talking with the officials about the oilers diving it’s making the refs look even stupider which seems impossible. Fkn loser oilers aren’t winning even with the officials attempting to hand them the game. good job Canucks now put these tired over played mcbitches to bed in game 6 7 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinsella Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 8 hours ago, arsenalian said: And Mikheyev can stay in the press box for now, 4th line was great too Exactly. When he is buzzing he's still very effective as a defender who can at least give us some offensive zone time, but he was slowing down. If he recharges he can help again later. Reminds me of the adage, "Fast guys get tired and slow down, big guys get tired but they are still big" or some such thing, that is used to describe why big teams generally win the cup. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The irony here is that last night's game was far and away the best the Oilers' bottom six have looked.
