Need to keep hitting Ekholm every chance we get. He's the only thing keeping that oilers defense from being a tire fire.
So, now that we know Soucy is suspended. Do they play Cole on the left and break up Zadorov-Cole. Honestly would kind of rather see Friedman instead of Juulsen because Juulsens foot speed and discipline showed to be problems aganist the Predators.
Hughes-Hronek
Zadorov -Myers
Cole-Juulsen/Friedman
So:
Hughes Hronek
Cole Myers
Zadorov Juulsen
??
Hughes - Hronek
Zadorov - Myers
Cole - Juulsen
Makes most sense?
Suter-Miller-Boeser
Joshua-Lindholm-Garland
Karlsson-Pettersson-Lafferty/PDG
Aman-Blueger-Lafferty/PDG
With PDG coming back scratch Mikheyev he’s useless (should’ve been scratched before Hoglander), take out Mikheyev and keep Karlsson & Aman in.
I don't know.Karlsson needs to learn how to f***ing dump it in deep.
Don't pretend you're a top 6 player and turn it over at the blue line.
Just dump it in deep and retrieve it.
That is where having hard hitting large humans on the back end get even, they just let the Oiler player beat them to the puck and ride them into the boards, ride them not hit them. Having an additional 200+ to 250 lbs on your back and hitting an immovable object leaves a bruise just about always. And not a penalty either.Need to stay fucused on the task not worrying about getting revenge for the dirty shit they might pull to our top players tonight. Hopefully that team continues to show just how stupid they can be and falls for the trap and the on ice officials actually do a decent job if so
I think that story line goes both ways. I think that is why the Canucks kept Zadorov away from the media, he is surely pissed, he takes a deliberate stick sandwich and gets a $5000 bill too and that play is totally ignored except by a few media guys.It's amazing that the narrative in the media has become that we became undisciplined took stupid penalties and have poked the bear without a clue or care for the slew foots, spears, two hand slashes, punches to the head, boarding and cross checks to the face that the Oilers have been doing all series to our star players.
The NHL got all the media turned into salesmen for the game for the most part. Some of those you named also didn't think there should have been any penalties at all.Showing their true colours what a mostly pathetic group (Simpson Botterill Whitney Button Spector) you all suck. At least Gazdic hasn't tried hiding his homerism and is basically a roster player which makes it all that much funnier that Bieksa might even be a bit tongue tied now that they brought the Oilers heavyweight to the table and Friedman is already starting to kiss his and McDavids balls
What early barrage? They have had 3 games to start off really hard and lost that battle. IMO the Canucks are backing off once they get a lead but can turn it up if behind.This is the game that if we can survive the early barrage and stay disciplined that we can put the foot on their throats and have our superior depth take over. Need big games from our 2 Swedish Cs. Kinda funny that Knob is gonna rely on Calvin Pickard to pull them from the depths of hell we are clearly in their heads and i love it.
I can sympathize, sports is a distraction from some of the stresses of daily life. A distraction that has no long term impact on daily life except as a distraction.This season has meant a lot to me as my personal life has fallen apart around it. Thanks Canucks.
Knoblauch will sub his goalies at regular intervals to give McDrai some rest.Kris Knoblauch after last game "It's not sustainable to play McDavid and Draisaitl 30 minutes a game"
Kris Knobluach before this game "I'm going to double shift McDavid and Draisaitl"
Yeah it seems the other guys can't get in any rhythm. I wonder if there is any divide in that locker room because hockey players do have egos and thats pretty much a giant slap in the face to the rest of the forwards.It's weird because they have some players that can score. RNH and Kane aren't completely awful. But I think the huge over reliance on the top line just takes their other guys out of the game.
Hyman came in late and laid a 2 hand cross check right in the head of Zadorov.Just because he is tough, it should not mean he should not be protected from malicious stuff either. Bigtime double standard .I hope he breaks that big beak on Hyman b4 this series endsIt is a travesty. I would have no issue with Soucy's suspension if the other incidents had also at least merited some kind of attention, penalty, fine, or suspension. It certainly appears that there is a McFavoured situation happening here, and that has been explicit at least in the media: "You have to protect the best player on earth." Ok, but the Department of Player Safety is not called the Department of McDavid Safety. Soucy is no repeat offender - Kane absolutely is. And if the remit is to protect stars, what is Quinn Hughes? For that matter, all ratness aside, what is Marchand? It's beyond ridiculous.

Agree but with the inconsistency of DOPS it makes it mentally easier for players to run opposing players.You know how to beat the bullshit? Win game 4.
We can rant about it now but whatever the f***, league is is inconsistent as shit.
If it was Quinn Hughes being suspended, then that would be a problem. We got the depth to cover for Soucy
They're gonna try to steamroll the Nucks with increased McDrai time. Pad a lead, then backoff.When Draisaitl is hurt it usually reduces his skating speed to about 25% on the back check. And to 75% when getting to loose pucks. But when he has the puck on the stick or its a PP he moves as fast as he always does.

I doubt they play Cole on the right and Juulsen on the left; They would both be playing their off hand sides.Hughes Hronek
Zadorov Cole
Juulsen Myers
Presume it is just maintenance/rest for Draisaitl, Kane, and Ekholm. Henrique, who knows?
If nothing else, probably means that Draisaitl and McDavid will be split-up to start the game.
