Roberts Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Connor McDavid is the first Edmonton Oiler in franchise history to get a hat trick in the opening night. Not even Gretzky did that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JM_ Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 its so much worse when this happens to Calgary than us not only do they have to endure it they also lost the Alberta battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GB5 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Connor who? All this tells me is that Calgary is the most overrated team in the league right now and their goaltending stinks. Edit Note - just being tongue in cheek over my disdain for Alberta teams, please don't take this too literally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YEGCanuck Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 As difficult as it may be we have to find a way to hit McDavid when he has the puck. Team should be past adjusting to his game by now. We know who he is and what he can do. If we don't show a greater level of containment than the Flames did tonight we might as well pack it in.

-Vintage Canuck- Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 This is a surprising stat because it has been done twice in Canucks history. Rick Blight with four goals (1977) and Greg Adams with four goals (1987). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khay Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 3 minutes ago, GarthButcher5 said: Connor who? All this tells me is that Calgary is the most overrated team in the league right now and their goaltending stinks. I watched the first and the third period (tuned out to watch baseball during the second period) but Calgary didn't lost because of goaltending, they lost because they failed to generate any kind of offence 5-on-5. Monahan and Gaudreau didn't generate much of scoring chances, perhaps because they faced McDavid quite a lot? And Ferland showed that he is unfit as their winger, not enough skill to keep the play going. If Calgary or any team is going to have any success against the Oilers, they need a designated line that can match up against McDavid's line so that a scoring line can be freed up to capitalize on their weaker 2nd, 3rd, and 4th lines.

Honestly I don't care. McPouty can score 200 this year I don't care. Edmonton can win 12 cups, I don't care. Bettman can move the Flames to Puerto Rico, I don't care. But if the Canucks win the cup, then I will care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VanGnome Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Connor McDavid is second in NHL’s modern era (since 1943-44) with a natural hat trick in a season opener (Radim Vrbata on Oct. 3, 2013). ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, real $&!# when the offense and defense were the worst part of the team. I love Canucks fans. So, McSatan isn't playing center? Or, at least, Edmonton realizes he sucks on faceoffs. And Auston Matthews scored 4 goals in his first NHL game. A lot more impressive than an empty netter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
