GDT: WCSF GM 4 | Vancouver Canucks @ Edmonton Oilers | Tue, May 14 | 6:30PM PST | SPAC | Thunderdome!

Z/Myers are good together, depending on how the game goes I think Tocc will send these two out together a lot and shelter Cole/Juulsen.

That pairing pictured here, with Garland in between:

It’s trial by media. When you have guys like Seravalli, Spector and Button droning on about the incident and declaring that it would a travesty if no suspension was dealt out and that the league would have “failed in doing their job”, that puts pressure on the league to do something.

Meanwhile these guys made zero mention of Hyman’s cross check. In fact, if it weren’t for Dan Murphy there would be no media mention at all.

Does anyone have a link to video of the Hyman crosscheck on Z? Apparently I'm the only one who missed it!

Edit: Nevermind, found it.

Yup the media is absolutely pathetic. Bunch of spineless that suck off McDavid and the league office at every turn.

They shouldn’t have suspended Soucy.

This only bonds the team even more.

Canucks have faced adversity than any other team in the playoffs.

They just woke up a sleeping dragon.

 

[Hansen]

I will never know McBaby as anything else

It'd be pretty swell to go back to Vancouver up 3-1.

All 3 of Soucy,Z,and McDavid committed fouls..two got penalized (fined/suspended),and the star player got nothing..not even a meaningless fine.

What does that tell you. ?

It really is media effects. It's night and day. The Oilers media has been crying and crying and crying without pause since the game ended and have been spamming a clip out that has the beginning and end of the confrontation deliberately edited out everywhere. Meanwhile our media calls the Hyman cross check clean only because they don't want to be seen as whiners.

I'll give it to that trash team. They sure know how to game the NHL.

Can you imagine the Coiler fan base if McCryinAllatheTime got a one game suspension, too? LOL - they would burn Alberduh to the ground

Posted on main board but posting here for shit and giggles

Best part about tweet like this is that the oilers have no answer to it

Canucks are bigger and stronger

What is Kane or Perry gonna do when Zadorov, Myers, Joshua, Juulsen and even Cole are on the ice?

Darnel Nurse? He lost a fight to Bo Horvat

Sucks that Jim Rutherford wasn’t able to lobby the league for a lesser punishment.

 

[ChilliBilly]

I repeat .... I can't understand the the 2 Canucks got fined / suspended, and that slash by McD wasn't even shown in most of the clips. He got a light push, and 2 handed Soucy. This is just bullshit, I am fine for Soucy getting a game if McD does too.

 

[Angry Little Elf]

Though Soucy will be missed, Canucks’ defence can withstand one-game suspension

The Canucks may miss Carson Soucy in Game 4, even if abrasive Noah Juulsen is a capable seventh defenceman ready to go into the lineup. But they aren't going to change how they play.

[StickShift]

I know this fan base is jaded and suspicious of anything to do with the referees or DoPS—and perhaps rightfully so.

But it seems to me that Tocchet and Canucks management is choosing to keep their feedback to themselves or away from the media.

I trust that Rutherford knows how to play the long game.

 

[DFAC]

Canucks vs the world

Whats new... I'm not even surprised at this point tbh

 

[JAK]

At some point, karma will catch up to a player that never fights, always whines, and gets unlimited protection from the league.

Most fanbases are behind the Canucks. Edmonton is playing a bitch asshole kind of game which is pissing off neutrals.

 

[dez]

No Soucy means more minutes for Cole, hopefully he has his best game of the series.

 

[nucks88]

It'd be pretty swell to go back to Vancouver up 3-1.

Vegas would still favour the Oilers lol

 

[HighAndTight]

If we're gonna be honest, Soucey has been a liability this series. Suspending him even a game, gives the team a rallying point and Sous won't be in the ice.

Win win.

 

[BWJM]

So Ian Cole moves over to his strong side, and up with Myers. Hopefully that reverse jinxes the bounce in goals off his chest, and he plays his best game.

This also means Juulsen draws in. Which kinda sucks for them, because he sure can hit when he wants. Averaged twice as many per game as Soucy.
