GDT - FFS Edition: 20 May 2024 Canucks vs Oilers R2G7 @ 18:00 PST

[Meds]

Starting goalie…..out.
Leading goal scorer…..out.
Superstar center…..MIA.
Norris candidate…..clearly playing hurt.

The hockey gods have weighted the scales.

The zebras have been anything but reliably objective.

So what can we do?

Believe in Blue

And of course…..

Just win!

FFS.

[Chef Boi RD]

Starting goalie…..out.
Leading goal scorer…..out.
Superstar center…..MIA.
Norris candidate…..clearly playing hurt.

And despite the odds we have taken the high flying McDavid/Draisaitl Oilers to game 7.

It’s gonna take a special effort from every player on the team to pull this one off. Need special games from Hughes, Pettersson, Miller and Silovs. Hughes is the key, IMO. He needs to be out of this world tonight. Demand that puck.

[Cornuck]

Just win FFS

[CrzyCanuck]

They have come this far and it's been a successful season already

but all we are asking for is 1 more win

We need super games from the alien, miller, and hughes tonight

4-2 Canucks

let's go

just win this one and everyone will be happy until October

[theman]

2-1 for the good guys

[Picker of Cherries]

Can’t bring myself to make a prediction.
Good luck Canucks.
Thanks for the great season!

Do it for brock and demmer

4-3 nucks

[Cornuck]

From twitter: There will be some lineup changes for the Canucks tonight. Brock Boeser and Vasily Podkolzin are out. Ilya Mikheyev and Sam Lafferty are in.

Two downgrades - let's hope our D plays their best games ever.

At the start of the season we would have been happy to make it to Round 2 Game 7, but now it's not enough. If we lose to the Coilers It's going to suck all summer long. The boys deserve better.

Big games from our leaders Huggy and Miller. Big Z too.

Mikheyev will finally pot a goal.

Petey, what have you got? Better leave it all on the ice.

5-2 Nucks.

[Chef Boi RD]

I won’t be disappointed if they lose, but I’ll be mad through it (See Frozen’s analysis of the Chef). They’ve had a good post season run for the lowly expectations they’ve had put on them. All fantastic win or lose.

[Cornuck]

Thankfully we have a no-bullshit coach who won't be talking about excuses, and instead will be getting his team fired up tonight. Let's hope they respond to the biggest adversity of their careers. A win tonight would be a huge building block for the future, and will be long remembered in Canuck-lore.

[Cornuck]

Some good news for the refs tonight. - Chris Rooney #5 / Jean Hebert #15

Canucks are undefeated with Rooney reffing the past 3 years.

Good Karma Stat #1

[Raile]

Anyone found info on the lines yet? Curious how they deploy with Boeser out
