-Buzzsaw- Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 Watching the Presser with Miller and Pettersson, its good to see they were not too high on the victory. Maintaining a level keel and not looking too far ahead is crucial in this series. They know the next game is going to be a circus in Edmonton and they will need to play just as well. Listening to Petey, I think he still has this bug... his voice sounds husky and he doesn't look 100%... better than the last presser he did, but still not great. Hopefully he is fully recovered by Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rule is dumb and I don't think this should have been called. But leaving your feet can make this "charging" based on the letter of the law. But yeah, it was a really dumb call to make, especially in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Smashian Kassian Posted May 17 Popular Post Share Posted May 17 That Spector hit piece on our market hasn't left my mind, it keeps reappearing. The Neilson statue is a sign of defiance, a sign of unity amongst our own, and a sign of resilience. We've been doubted & counted out every step of the way, now here we are.

But yeah, it was a really dumb call to make, especially in the playoffs. Except the player leaving his feet is supposed to be the one initiating the check... facing the opponent and moving... according to another rule. So the Refs decided to select one particular rule which was designed to apply to a player moving towards a target and leaving his feet, and apply it to someone who has his back to the opponent and who is not moving or initiating the check. 2 1 2 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Late 70s Canadians, early 80s islanders and 2002 red wings I believe were the runner ups Mid '70's Canadians were a better overall team. Better defense and goaltending. And that Canadians team still holds the record for the highest points percentage based on their 132 pts from 80 games... .825 record. The only team that comes close in point percentage are the 2022/2023 Bruins, but they had the advantage of getting a lot of OT wins... the Canadians played in the era where a tie is a tie... one point... whereas in the current era with OT wins in the Regular season, there is much more of an opportunity to pick up points. That Canadians team didn't quite have the offensive firepower of the Oilers, but they had probably the best overall defense ever, with guys like Larry Robinson, Guy Lapointe, Serge Savard, etc. They also had Ken Dryden in net... far superior to Grant Fuhr. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, the Oilers are widely loathed in Canada outside of Edmonton. Their fan base's argument that past success makes them more deserving of future success & recognition, just makes them seem entitled, in the douchiest way possible. There are very few things that Vancouverites and Calgarians agree on, but they've wholeheartedly joined forces in rooting against the Oilers in the playoffs.

hockeyfan-observer Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 (edited) Wow - Awesome effort from the boyz tonight as everyone contributed in their own way. Great goal by JT in the last minute which was eerily similar to the time of Bouchard's goal when JT was trying for the block. Congrats to PDG and his wife for the new member in the family. Not much else to say but just to rest up for the night and then begin prep for game 6. Playoff hockey is just brutal in terms of expended energy compared to sports like baseball. You really have to balance rest levels / expended energy and mental preparation. Edited May 17 by hockeyfan-observer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I saw on the Flames reddit when it was clear it was going to be Canucks vs Oilers in round 2, we're the lesser of two evils. Plus we have 2 of their flames; Zadorov & Lindholm. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuckleheads Fan Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 1 hour ago, CRAZY_4_NAZZY said: Tonight's win was the first game where I was like damn, the team is dominating and they deserve this win because they were lights out good in all three zones all game long...cough cough cept for Cole. I love Silovs, and was an advocate for him to be the #1 in Demko's absence. Aside from probably wanting the third goal back last game, he was sensational, playing like a real NHL starter and not like a #3 pressed into service. I know he's had Tocc's confidence since game 4 of the 1st round, I wonder if his performance last game opened the rest of the team's eyes and allowed themselves to feel more confident, feeling like they could go out and win the game rather than stealing it. This was the first post-game where Tocc wasn't really asked much about Arty, like he's just part of a winning team. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's get him a cup, at his age this might be last chance. I don't see him making the team next year, we have too many good young guys vying for his spot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
