OTL-GDT May 10 Game 2 Vancouver vs Coilers 7PM PST SN CBC

[5thhorseman]

More shots. Skinner is weak.

Get under Kane's skin. He's ready to explode.

A few crosschecks to Draisaitl's back wouldn't hurt (well, he might feel it )

We have do do better dealing with the Oil forecheck.

And just win baby!

6-2 Canucks!

[dangler]

This will be a tough one for the Canucks to win.
No way do the Oil wanna go home down 2 games.
If we can score a early quick goal or two and keep the pedal to the metal........then maybe

In Silovs we trust

[rats19]

Yah it would be top end beautiful to win this one

4-3 nucks

[theman]

Weathering an early Oil onslaught will be key. If the Canucks can end the 1st with a lead that will be great. Get 1 or 2 past Skinner in the first and make the Oil doubt their own goalie.

Oh, and stay out of the penalty box.

[CrzyCanuck]

Oilers continue to collapse

5-1 Canucks

Pettersson 5 secondary assists

[theman]

PJ seems to be hinting that it could be DeSmith in net tonight.

[Cornuck]

Sounds like the oil are feeling the pressure already.

The Canucks need to know that it's just one game at a time. We got this.

[rats19]

Sutherland to rescue the oil….

[Raile]

Like others are saying I expect a tougher game. The oilers are embarrassed and they might fall apart over it but I think it's more likely they come guns ablazin. The Canucks better be ready from puck drop!

[Raile]

apparently Silvos is in? ride or die.

[rats19]

Silovs…… in

[theman]

apparently Silvos is in? ride or die.

Interesting call, guess they are staying with the 'hot hand.'

[Carl Yagro]

DrySaddle sores is a game time decision. If he does make an appearance, Z1000 model should terminate him and John Connor McDavid for good.

They will certainly come out flying. Don't take a stupid penalty and I think we will be OK. 5-on-5 we were the better team throughout game 1. They got early momentum on a too-many-men call in the first minute and, as we saw, their PP is lethal.

I agree, take the game to Draisaitl and McDavid. Especially when Kane is on the ice, he will retaliate. Don't physically engage Kane, just chirp the shit out of him and force him to be the aggressor. He's the type of player that sometimes you just want to leave alone and let him be his own undoing. Not to say that he's remotely in the class of Iginla, but when teams targeted Iggy he got mad, and then got even on the scoreboard. Power forward thing I think.

It's vital that the Canucks PP starts clicking. I would take Pettersson off of the first unit for a bit, remove him as a go-to option and the other guys will make things happen. The puck dies on his stick these days, he forces passes, he hesitates, but the PP is setup to get the puck to him for a one-timer, just ditch that plan.

And honestly, just win. FFS.

You got this Horsey - a better special teams showing, and an early goal for will go a long way in making it less stressful to watch.

Would love to get this one to Edm up two.
