Post-Game Talk: WCSF GM 4 | Oilers def. Canucks 3-2 (Garland, Joshua) | Thaaaaaaat sucked.

[Icebreakers]

They gotta stop playing like shit early and always trying to come back. Its not a formula for success. Youre gonna run out of track by doing that.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Gut punch of a way to lose, but liked the gumption we showed in battling back to tie it.

Petey showed some life and made some things happen. For the love of God, can we stop playing him with boat anchors and expect him to do things?

Agree Hoglander should draw back in next game, too.

Silovs had a hell of a game. He got screened on the winner, I don’t blame him at all, and he was huge throughout to keep us in it.

Our two losses have been an OT game and a game that was 30 seconds from going to OT. Far from the cakewalk the pundits were expecting, and I think that when this team actually pushes, we can take them.

Back on home ice, looking to re take the lead, Soucy back and possibly Hoglander and PDG too - I think we can take Game 5. Just need to play a full 60 like we give a shit.

 

[canuckking1]

Best of 3 with 2 games at home. Can't really ask for anything more

Vegas-Oilers series was back and forth until Vegas took full control in game 5. Canucks need to do the same

 

[mossey3535]

Btw Kane should be suspended for a game right? RIGHT??

Naw, it's common to accidentally cross check upwards into the face of someone taller than you.

 

[valkynax]

Probably the most upset I’ve heard Tocchet sound

Haha stapled Mik with Pete and HE's the upset one?


Tocchet, I like you, but come on now...

 

[canucksfan]

My only concern is can Silvos keep up his play?

 

[Leif Rohlin]

So impressed with Silovs. He’s giving Demmer a run at being our number one.

He's been great, but no. Has some significant weaknesses that are apparent every game.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Kane unfortunately made a big difference in this game. Even with the penalty, he had four or five massive hits that went uncalled, and the final one on Hronek caused the Canucks to unravel.

 

[SillyRabbit]

Ironically thats exactly what juulsen was doing when he gave up the odd man rush.

I think the Canucks have to stop chasing mcD like the first goal. He's an amazing playmaker so if you have 3 guys converge on him it means there are 3 passing options. Focus on drai more cuz you know that pass is coming

Juulsen had the right idea, just terrible timing.

No to PDG, we need to start sitting guys who aren't bringing it. Sit Mik, sit PDG, sit Lafferty, sit Karlsson I think he's trying but is just too slow.

 

[Angry Little Elf]

Canucks had 3 high danger chances.

Pickard stopped 1 scoring chance all night.

 

[SelltheTeamFrancesco]

I am kind of getting sick of all the negativity from posters who I haven’t seen til this year.

 

[dez]

"Passengers" Strong words from Tocc

 

[bbud]

Btw Kane should be suspended for a game right? RIGHT??

Garry Bettman is still jerking off to his vegas cash pics no such luck

 

[DS7]

Learning lesson here from Toch. Nothing comes easy. Don't bank on OT

 

[Peen]

All the key guys sucked today. Garland and Silovs kept us in it the first 45 minutes.

But



Mikheyev, Pettersson, Lafferty, Hoglander, Hronek?

 

[Grumbler]

At the very least if our season ends, we know who the dead weights are on the team. Free up some salary cap.

 

[Baby Pettersson]

Yup Tocchet calling out his players tonight. Well deserved. Now let's see some lineup changes.

 

[Baby Pettersson]

Exactly. We gotta see the bigger picture. Big offseason coming up (hopefully not yet) and a real good opportunity to extend this window.

Hes been solid wont change

This game we were just hanging on, we need to be start off better for game 5.
Home ice, lets do this.

 

[Red]

game was there for the taking

 

[mossey3535]

He's been great, but no. Has some significant weaknesses that are apparent every game.

Oilers are too dumb too take advantage, so it's good for now.

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

These are all good learning experiences for this core.

1) A team needs to pace themselves over a full 82 games.
2) Team needs more killer instinct both in games and in series. Ending a series sooner is pivotal in long runs.

It's their first real playoff run after a season. 2020 didn't have the intensity of what we are seeing out there now.

Management also needs to work miracles to improve the depth on wings and the blueline. I imagine you will see guys like Cole, Lafferty and Mihkeyev be churned out.
