I do not think that McDavid is 100% yet so let's take advantage of it and don't ever let the gas up. Exactly my thoughts… let’s swipe his legs out and plaster him onto the boards!

They were far better playmakers and game maestro's. McDavid has speed and fairly good puck skills but the comparison ends there in my mind. That's McDavid's game. Speed up the middle, and if you touch him - Powerplay Rinse-repeat. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nux_win Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 This is going to be an interesting one. The Oilers are pissed off and desperate and the Canucks are on a roll, firing on all cylinders, and generally playing extremely well. It could go either way but it is almost certainly going to be entertaining. Go Canucks Go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veskit Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 Sure hope we run out to a 2 goal lead in the first 10 min. This year's oilers are fragile, I think we get them down early they're gonna crumple. 8-1 nucks again. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kilgore Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 This time McDavid is really really really really really pissed! We'll only win by two goals. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a hilite reel of skating, burst of speed, side to side movement. Yip. The best "hockey" player? No. There are holes in McD's games and his leadership style. Him and Drias have become somewhat predictable, and it's increased the odds of shutting them down. There are many players who when are on their game, in their prime, are more effective hockey players than McD. Edit, that said, watch the little goof light it up tonight. Lol.

Devron Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 I think the Oilers win this one, but I didn’t think we’d shutout the Stars either. We win and that would be incredible again, Wow what a season so far! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rindiculous Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 (edited) I’ve been thinking about this all day, and I have convinced myself that this is our defining game. We always show up against the Stars, we have gotten off to hot starts, but in the past, this is exactly the game we always lose. This is not a statement I make often like others on this board. We tend to only show up against the Oilers 50% of the time in years past so we are due to do that if we are the same team, and we also tend to suck against good teams that are slumping hard. If we are convincing this game (don’t even have to win, just be convincing), I will 100% believe. Let’s fucking go I’m excited. A little nervous but damn excited.

I'm tired of hearing he may be injured still. Teams are catching on to how to keep him in check. He will still have the pad your stat games, but teasm seem to be better at getting on McD before he gets to full speed. Also, if McD has the puck, teams know to get close to Drais and check him.

It's his shot speed being 10 mph slower that has me thinking injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demko and Desmith is an infinitely better tandem than Skinner and Campbell. Hughes, Hronek, Soucy, Cole, Friedman and Myers are a better defense than Nurse, Ekholm, Bouchard, Ceci, Kulak and Desharnais. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, but then lead by example in backcheck, defensive play, checking, takeaways. Never liked him as a captain and his recent interviews have been horrible. Meh, I'm biased, but happy to see McD show some of his colors and I hope the media gets on him a bit if the losing continues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucker67 Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 The Canucks are a different group of players, coached and managed by gritty no-nonsense winners. It's rubbing off on the players. They seem super focused. McDavid is coming into the Canucks house a broken man, expected to do it all himself. Anyone can win on any given night, but I'm feeling confident if they stick to their game plan, the Canucks will get 2 points at the end of the night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pure961089 Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 When Elliot Friedman said the Canucks are playing beyond their potential he couldn't be more wrong. The Canucks are playing beyond your expectations but their potential is sky's the limit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
