Why can we never win a PP faceoff?

That's so key.

 

Lindy not winning those. 

[PhillipBlunt]

Next period, the Canucks begin the attack. 

[LaBamba]

Can Silovs play Forward? Cause he is the only one that came to play and someone gotta score.

I know they won't cause it's game 7

But the crowd should be booing after a period like that

 

Absolutely EMBARRASSING

Are you kidding? NO

[24K]

We so gonna lose. This is exact repeat of our last game 7 against Vegas. 

 

Also failed miserably on a 5min major. PP is a major issue for this team.

[Breadnbutta]

Brutal period.

 

Take hronek off the top unit

What is your gameplan tonight Tocchet?

Rick Tocchet: okay guys, it's game 7. Do or die. What we are going to do is conserve energy the whole night by skating the puck in through the neutral zone and then instead of going for offense or establishing offensive zone pressure, we are going to just give them the puck. Can't lose your legs if all you do is change lines right? 

 

Team: Sounds good, coach! What do we do if we have a powerplay?!

 

Tocchet: Simply do everything you can imaginable to stand behind the other team's players and if you see them coming towards you, wait until they're so close that your passes don't get through skates or sticks.

 

Team: Sounds good, coach!

On pace for six shots in a must win game, even worse than game six. Wtf are they even doing out there?!?

They are being forechecked HARD.

its not always what we’re not doing, it’s what the other team has been able to be stronger at. Just like the shadow pressure we’ve put on the Coil top line.

[Canucks164cup]

Why can't they go back to being the team from game 5 in the 2nd and 3rd I don't get it.

[PureQuickness]

I don't know if Tocchet deserves some criticism for this, but a team that is just dumping and chasing is why a team loses. This is the kind of thing that Green used to do when he coached. Low shots and high goals = ANLYTICZ DREAM

 

[flickyoursedin]

We’re not generating enough to let good opportunities pass by without anything to show for it!

[Rindiculous]

Don’t let tocchet touch the pp next year.  We need an actual pp coach

Got them right where we want them.

Game plan.... Once Oilers get tired of all their shooting we take over....maybe 

 

Most of their shots were harmless muffins from the outside.  Aside from the rebound save, which was on Arty to begin with, and the breakaway, the oilers weren't dangerous at all 

 

I thought van competed hard that period

[Jaimito]

Maybe just nerves 

 

Regroup, come out and turn the table in the second.

[Rip The Mesh]

The nerves are high on both teams; That's what happens what it's a one game elimination game, I'll cheer for the Canucks, nervous or not...                                             

[Enigma]

2 D on the PP?

[Devron]

Fire whoever runs the PP

Yeo doesn't even coach the pp. It is Tocchet and Sedins.

We fucked up 

 

refs will even up the PP chances, they owe the oilers 4 minutes.

 

That was a make up for McDavids 4 minute on Huggy

[YourTimeisNow]

Disgusting power play. Do these guys know that was an absolute gift?

[Canuck You]

Can't even get at least 1 with being up a man for 4 mins and we expect to win a gm 7 even strength!?!?
