GDT: WCSF GM06 | Vancouver Canucks @ Edmonton Oilers | Sat. May 18th | 5pm PST | SNP/CBC | Finish Them

I still don’t mind that 1st period from the Canucks. Feels like they should’ve had a 2-1 lead from that period.

Keep that up in the 2nd and 3rd and they should have the lead before end of regulation.

 

[moiderer]

Silovs can't get into position within the crease because of McDavid who really just drifts in with Blueger without really trying to reposition himself.

Not as controversial as last night which was fully outside of the crease.

 

[Peen]

That doesn't matter it's first the hasmarks is the rule, not who would get to the puck first

It’s never ever been called that way because it would create a stupid precedent where players would dive on the opposite side of the ice even if they’re not close to the puck so that they’d “win” the hashmarks race.

It’s always been called as most likely to win the race when they hit the hashmarks, and that’s absolutely the way it should be.

 

[calnuck]

A love the "Suter grinds McDavid against Silovs". No, McDavid skates right into the crease and Suter try pushing hom out of the way.

Don't stand in the crease

The mental gymnastics these bozos are doing to do justify mcdavid comitting a blatant goalie interference

?????? They said it was an obvious no goal and went right to commercial, unless I missed something else

Whoever the doofus is that’s across from Subban was trying really hard to argue that it was a good goal

 

[mathonwy]

Petey-Hoglander-Lindholm is dominating the ozone

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Getting out of that period with the score tied is a positive. Oilers had a lot more jump, but the few times we got the puck into their end and it WASN’T a PP they scrambled defensively.

Too bad our PP looked so bad until that one chance we flubbed. Missed opportunity.

 

[MS]

I don’t agree with this. We didn’t have the first angle to the puck. We were always going to be second to it even if we won the race to the hashmarks

If I had a nickel for every time this year a Canuck was going to get to an icing but an opposition player hit the hash marks first so it was called icing I’d be able to buy myself a nice burger. With bacon, and everything.

I must have missed that comment

 

[calnuck]

Pretty even period to be honest. Hughes looks off though

 

[DimitriL07]

I don’t like this. You know the pps are coming soon.

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

My bad. It was Blueger not Suter

 

[calnuck]

I must have missed that comment

Something along the lines of “he was pushed into the goalie”. Either way it’s moot now lol

 

[Jack Burton]

I'll take that period.
Just keep setting the pace and tone of the game, keep Edmonton reacting and we'll get our chances.

That's like 500 nickels

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Skinner looks like his usual self. Just keep bombing him with shots and he'll give up a few more.

 

[Peen]

He went into the crease on his own accord

Elliotte repeating this verbatim makes me think I’m WRONG

 

[VanJack]

I guess on the road you take a 1-1 first period. But that brain-dead icing call with 15.4 seconds left almost cost them the go-ahead goal.

Pettersson is coming on....might have been the Canucks most dangerous forward.....but Hughes, on the other hand, just a tough period. I really thought he'd be a 'difference-maker' the way he can spread out the ice,

But the Oilers have shut him down, and like the Preds have pounded him physically. It's really starting to take its toll, particularly in the D-zone.

 

[bbud]

In a pub just a quick f off stripes lol.
Looking good take game over bots

 

[Russian_fanatic]

Canucks need to try EP between Garland and Joshua. Put Hoglander with Lindholm.

 

[mossey3535]

Mcdavid goes into the crease engaged with Blueger but it's on him to make some attempt to leave the crease. He also subtly shifts backwards and raises his arm to catch Silovs. If it was really a good goal, the Oilers video staff would have called down to challenge it.

 

[Jack Burton]

throw it into his feet and it could get interesting

 

[I am toxic]

Yeah well McDavid gets a taste of his own medicine.

re-watching it, I see Silovs was following the puck, didn't sell it, McDavid jumped and hit him, I rescind my previous post

 

[Peen]

Well that’s a different story ha

 

[PavelBure10]

I'm liking the game so far, the Canucks are playing well. Would love to see more shots taken on Skinner. A little worried aboutbthev2 even up penalties coming aswell.

 

[LadyJet26]

Good road period. The Coilers don't look that great. I expect the Canucks to push more in the second. It's raining here like it does in Vancouver
