i predict a min of 4 very large hits from Juulsen (the ratio of them that take him completely out of position is TBD)

who is edmonton’s nathan horton?

because that motherf***er is going to be looking at his phone with sunglasses this summer

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

Holy mother of overreaction batman. Oiler fans are comparing Soucy's crosscheck to Bertuzzi assaulting Moore. Apparently, we hired gorillas. There are reaches then there's hi-fiving mars.

When that's the comparison you want to make. I don't wanna hear a single word about how we complain about the refs too much.

They are the most delusional fan base ever

If Edmonton goes to Pickard, we have the perfect opportunity to break them. Show up tomorrow and light him up. Winning that game, especially after the McDavid nonsense and I think they're dead. No more excuses that Skinner is the only reason they're losing.

We need a huge effort tomorrow to show we're just the better team and not simply taking advantage of a bad goalie.

We beat Saros. Those people can think whatever the f*** they want. We don't need the Oilers to prove we can beat a good goalie. All it proves is that Edmonton is poorly constructed around McDrai and that they can't play enough defence to insulate their starter.

The way people talk about them it's as if they aren't just McDrai and one decent defense pair.

 

[Nona Di Giuseppe]

I don't think he will throw any hits. Given the outcome of the Soucy hit leading to a McDavid goal which arguably cost the Canucks the game, I imagine Juulsen recognizes the importance of good positioning.

you haven't watched juulsen much this year, huh?

 

[Jovofan]

I've watched 180+ straight minutes of the Edmonton Oilers and I think I only know the names of like 6 of their skaters.

 

[valkynax]

Maybe the lack of a neck makes Juulsen into a good battery ram?

 

[Josepho]

I'm normally extremely anxious during playoff games but this series has been hilarious because I've alternated between being a complete wreck any time the 2/14/18/29/97 unit is on the ice and being completely calm/relaxed/inattentive otherwise.

I just get tense when the first line is out. The other 9 guys are just taking up time.
Only problem is that the first line plays half the game!

Gary Bettman doesn't like blueberries.

He also likes people who can form a coherent sentence.

i find it crazy how much sway the f***ing media has with league decisions on discipline. They all harped on about Soucy but ignored Hyman’s. Was listening to the Toronto broadcast this afternoon and one of the four said that Hyman should have gotten the same suspension and the other three said he was crazy for “reasons.” Truly a hack job.

Which 3?????

 

[Izzy Goodenough]

Carson is from Wild Rose country.

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

We're officially screwed. Calvin Pickard has a 0.00 GAA and 1.00 SV% this playoffs.

 

[AzNightmare]

If Edmonton intends to try a different goalie, next game is the time to do it. If they go with Skinner again and go down 3-1, it'll really be a Hail Mary to try Pickard in an elimination game.

 

[Grub]

Losing Soucy for a game hurts. It's clear he is one of the louder guys on the team. Hope the boys can rally. Soucy has been great this series.

 

[David71]

i hope juuelsson keeps it simple blocks shots but if hes going for hits he usually out of position. maybe if the oncoming player is rushing down near the boards then he can catch them on the walls. he will be okay tmr. 12-14mins. cole to his natural side.

 

[jd22]

It was obvious he’s going to get a suspension, you can’t cross check someone accidentally or not in the face after the game.

Especially McDavid who’s the biggest whiner in the league.

The real question is how many games, I’m thinking one, but I would not be surprised if it’s multiple

Apparently you can, as Hyman did on Zadorov.

 

[Cogburn]

Bring in McSorely, Simon and Bertuzzi, play them all McDavids first shift, enjoy the show, and make a necklace out of his teeth.

Seriously though, it's messed up that Soucy is suspended for probably the tamest of the non-hockey plays in the series so far.

Except for game 2

 

[JAK]

Oilers aren't gonna challenge Zadorov, but they definitely will up the stupid factor as a "response".

It all depends who the refs are, Sutherland already did a game last night in Colorado, so he can't make it to Edmonton in time.

If the game stays a clean 5 on 5 game, I like our chances.
If we get PPs because Oilers do stupid stuff, and the refs have to had Oilers PP to even it out, I don't like our chances.

Do you like any of the Canucks players?
