GDT: WCSF: Game 4 - Edmonton Oilers vs Vancouver Canucks, 7:30pm, ESPN

[CornKicker]

Zadorov would be Edmontons #1 defenceman this series.

better than ian cole has been for the oilers? doubt it

 

[Three On Zero]

Why because he has 1 more goal than Bouchard?

He’s been a physical force that can defend

Bouchard has been a ghost.
Ekholm has been good but he doesn’t have the physical edge Zadorov has had

better than ian cole has been for the oilers? doubt it

We don’t speak of him, until he scores on Silovs tonight

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

What a shocker, the Nucks playing the league hates us victim card.....

Zadorov seems to be a bit too emotional, especially during the games. Does anyone else gets vibes that he may do something stupid if the score gets out of hands?

The only thing he will do is wip Kane’s ass once again.

He has been a physical force because that's all anyone expects of him. Thats literally his job as a goon 5th/6th D.

 

[GrumpyKoala]

I would like to cheers for whatever canadian team remain but you guys make this Hella difficult..

 

[Three On Zero]

Does that make Bouchard/Ekholm a 7th/8th than?

 

[Hank Plank]

I predict Edmonton will get 9 PPs.

 

[Cupless44]

The lack of humility from fan bases when they go up a game in a series is hilarious to me.

Vancouver fans are riding high - trashing the Oilers all over...like they don't realize that McDavid could at any point take over this series in a way nobody on their team could even hope to.

Have a little respect and humility so that you don't end up looking like complete jack asses on the chance that this series doesn't go the way you seem to think it is right now.

You won a game in Edmonton - but lost one at home. I don't see much to get excited about.

True.

But we also didn't go into this series thinking we were cup favorites that would smoke Vancouver in 4 or 5 games like Oiler fans and media did.

Oilers could still ride their one line of stars for 30 minutes a night and win this series but we can take comfort knowing you will not get by a very good Dallas team or win the cup with the worst goaltending in the playoffs.

Cup or bust, baby!

In which period?

Keep up the good work bud. You’re a beacon of rational and respectful posting on here. Humility is your middle name.
Kudos for fighting the good fight!

Don't let us keep you....

 

[roon]

Does that make Bouchard/Ekholm a 7th/8th than?

Well - Bouchard is actually leading all D men this playoffs in points.

Someone brought up goals as some plus for Zadorov....but Bouchard is actually helping his team score far more often. Ekholm always has been a shut down guy - points dont tell his story.

 

[Three On Zero]

In which period?

They’ll need it in each period

 

[ziploc]

Are the Oil going 11F 7D tonight??

It will be a big change from their usual 3F 6D 1/2G set-up.

Yeah, well. Maybe if the arrogant Oiler fan base hadn't been pounding their chest predicting a 4 game sweep over the "Avg Canucks team" their fan base wouldn't be so happy to throw it back at them. A lot of the Oilers fans have disappeared from these threads altogether because they were so cocky. Let us not pretend the Oilers fan base didn't dig this ditch themselves.

 

[Canucks LB]

LOL - ok, the dude that is on his 5th team in 9 years is some elite goal scoring dynamo that can single handedly impact the outcome of a game.

Some players develop pretty late, or get more opportunities pretty late.

Look at JT Miller, for example

 

[BurnabyJoe7]

Keep hitting him. Hes fair game just like they’re targeting Hughes.

I'm sure JT Miller is checking hfb for the gameplan tonight and is happy you finally gave the okay for it

 

[Three On Zero]

Put Zadorov in the point for the oilers PP and he would also lead in points. Bouchard has been atrocious in his actual position this series.

Also not a good shutdown guy in Ekholm where his team was an OT goal away from being down 3-0

Lets also not pretend like you guys didn't almost let the freaking Preds come back on you.

Quinn Hughes certainly hasn't been Norris caliber for you so far.

 

[AwesomeInTheory]

He has been a physical force because that's all anyone expects of him. Thats literally his job as a goon 5th/6th D.

It's bizarre how 'tall player' = goon.

Canucks beat the preds 4-2, that’s not a “almost” come back. That’s like saying Edmonton almost let LA come back

 

[roon]

Well - looking like Ivan Drago from the Rocky movies isn't helping either.

 

[I am toxic]

Why would an Orca attack fellow Orcas?

I give up, why?
