canucks report for may 14th

so who is noah juulsen?

gets the call for soucy. ngl soucy is a solid defender.

noah is a hard hitter. oilers will feel the sting of his hits.

he was wearing goat horns though rubbing out a jets player in reg season game with the

crowd in van roaring jets went into score on that play.

he does pinch in to deliver a hard hit.

tocchet has stressed d all year though. so i am thinking noah will just play within the systerm. 

oilers ekholm stinging from hits though playing it is reported has nagging injuries

drai and mcdavid will be split up for this game and as u know pickard in goal.

last game boxscore will note the big diff in sog favouring oilers.

you need to check the game stats for reasons why van won

57& faceoffs won/ 66-50% on pp/ 50-30 hits/23-6 blocked shots/takeaways 8-6/giveaways 5-15

tonight has to be all in for oilers. one of the best player in nhl for embellishment/ drawing is draisatl. he is german atter all where soccer flops rule (just a joke) but damn is he good at flopping. i say this cuz the oilers pp is lethal. oilers need to have pp time cuz as u know van is one if not the best 5-5 team in the nhl

tonights ref  Frederick L’Ecuyer #17/Francis Charron #6

both dont seem to think they have thoughts on being bigger than the game

win percentage is 63% for home teams

canucks 3-0 with this crew but 4-2 on oiler games

as mentioned if they let them play and hardly any penalties adv van..

Great write up I think starting Pickard is maybe a bad call. The Canucks are playing great hockey. There style is better suited I think to beat Dallas next round. They will give Dallas a run. 

my bets. not as confident as last game knowing oilers might even have drai and mcdavid play 30 mins or more along with others

i mean 5 guys had the majority of icetime for the oilers. is this sustainable? if oilers win this series. i will take likely dal in 4 and 5 - no way oil will 

have steam left by then

have money in matchbook. suggest u all get an acct it is the best odds of all

not taking the juice with oil / knowing icetime/ crappy d and not hitting or winning face offs

van +182

regulation +280

over 6.5 -101

van tm ttl 2.5 over-118 pinn

@My4Girls

 not sure about beating dal wil have to see the rest and injuries but if it is van vs dal 6 or 7 games is very likely. dallas is also very deep now 

with wyatt johnston getting better an better

juulsen delivers big hit on 2nd g but pinched at wrong time once again

The Canucks showed a lot of heart again. The Oilers are lucky it didn’t go to OT. They lose in OT I think.

maybe yes. they played dump and chase late. if they did that on that useless 4 min pp they might have had puck posession and at least one goal.

the first goal was created by the dump and chase. it is a great strategy cuz the dmen outside of eckholm turn over the puck like they are running a bakery

Nurse is atrocious haha. 

Now we have the goalie situation figured out…. Oilers put these pretenders away. 

oh? well i dont think that at all. oilers did a good job of keeping the shots to the outside and blocking lanes and shots.

just like drai said. well kinda. imo canucks shot directly at him. sure pickard did keep square to the puck but honestly last

game the d held skinner out to dry
