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

[Petey O]

Hughes dekes through like three guys, Hronek has all the time in the world, his choice is a muffin straight into a defenseman's stick

what the f*** is going on with this guy

Injured

 

[Flik]

Hronek has been such a disappointment

 

[TruGr1t]

We’ve already split away and as far as I’m concerned 1 goal lead is basically a tie going into the third. If you can limit them now this team tends to save its best for the win, so I’d be biting pillow if I was the Oilers.

 

[arttk]

Hronek killed that shift, f***ing hell

 

[SelltheTeamFrancesco]

Hopefully we can move ep next season

He is not a cup winner, zero grit

Move him now.

 

[mossey3535]

Brutal pinch by Myers almost killed us.

See, with Soucy he wasn't doing that. It's just not the same without them together.

 

[Bobby9]

Edmonton is blocking all the muffins from the point. The Canucks have to make the goalie go side to side

 

[PG Canuck]

Garland should end this game with 20mins tonight.

 

[aquaweenie]

How is that not interference on Draisaitl?

Ya I don’t get that he threw a clothesline on Joshua(?) When he didn’t have the puck

 

[rypper]

Dude is not injured

So?

Hit him. He frustrates easily.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Stick with it

 

[NoShowWilly]

Hronek has been awful. Can't hold the puck in on basic plays and consistently makes the wrong decisions. Incredibly hesitant signing him long term.

if he remains cheap, whatever. He skates back and gets the puck nice. isn't looking to be cheap though. offense is really struggling when it touches his stick.

I was thinking the same thing. I screamed stupid Hronek you wasted Hughes beautiful pressure.

 

[Ninebreaker]

I don't think we're going to see EP show up this year. We can only hope he brings it next time.

 

[Tact]

Even Draisaitl himself was looking at the refs after his hit. Joshua didn’t even have the puck

 

[Jyrki]

Injured

We've all been saying that, then he had that one play in the Preds series where he absolutely clapped the puck exactly perpendicular to the net.

 

[IslandBeast]

Hughes is fighting. Let's go boys, one goal

 

[rypper]

Hopefully we can move ep next season

He is not a cup winner, zero grit

He'll play the entire contract in Vancouver.

 

[Nomobo]

Very little effort and intensity from the Canucks so far.

Incredible that in game 4 of round 2 you can be this lackadaisical.

The other guys have something to do with that.

 

[moiderer]

I think folks were hyping themselves up with Pickard coming in and expecting the Canucks to light him up like a Christmas tree and when that didn't happen, panic set in.

Oilers were going to go one of two routes, either losing their minds and getting emotional or bringing the play to the Canucks. They went with the latter approach, and now Vancouver needs to start the pushback.

They're starting to show signs of life, although holy crap Hronek that sure seemed a panic shot that I'd do in beer leagues, lmao.

Agreed. Oilers are playing better by balancing their lineup but the game is still there. We're killing ourselves with the poor execution and dead powerplays stopping us from building consistent momentum.

 

[AwesomeInTheory]

Our key guys have been playing more, but lol @ Nurse 5th in icetime for defensemen. Seems Knobby is learning how to be a free elf.

 

[mossey3535]

Hughes looking a little better now, Miller is just not on his game tonight. Looks gassed.

 

[wonton15]

Injured

Brain injury?

 

[StickShift]

If I were an Edmonton fan, I’d be getting ancy that it is only 1-0

 

[Petey O]

Well, using his slapshot only very selectively would correlate with an injury. He’s probably afraid to aggravate something.
