JT already in mid season form with his defensive plays and blind pass.. Hoglander needs to come off EP's line and put in Podkolzin till Mikheyev is back.. defence is still terrible.. when playing mcdavid you literally needs to run at him and put his ass on the ice.. u can't back off and let him skate into or thru you.. EP kuz looked great.. even with the giveaway that lead to a goal with EP at least he was hassling to get back to defend.. unlike the other 3 players on the PP that didn't give a f as usual.. onto the next game.. this road trips looks brutal compared to the gimme last year playing 4 or 5 lottery team.. only gimme on the trip is against the flyers. washington new look columbus back to back wild will be rough lol.. it's not inconceivable we start the season 1-4.. hopefully we can steal a win in washington and columbus Honestly I rather face good teams early in te season while they are rusty and trying to figure out systems versus facing them when they are at their peak. So give us Tampa, colorado, rangers etc. Just look at Toronto, they lost to Montreal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comeback_Kings Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 I don't like the Oilers. I don't like anything about them. I don't like how they play. I don't like their uniforms. I don't like the colour orange. I don't understand the structure of their game, which makes them frustrating as an opposing fan to watch. I guess they compete hard enough. I don't think they'll ever get to a cup final playing the way they do. They played lazy, dirty, bitchy hockey tonight and were rightfully penalized a lot for it except for that one time when it really mattered. Frustrating as the Canucks powerplay should have made them pay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herberts Vasiljevs Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 I think too many of you make too much of "what they said in the media after the game." Did you guys not see their reactions after the Oilers' empty net goal? That looked like a pretty pissed off bunch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comeback_Kings Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 I don’t like Anthony Stewart as a commentator. It’s so obvious he doesn’t like Vancouver. I’d prefer if he wasn’t on broadcasts that feature the Canucks. His take on the Nurse hit on Burroughs was a bad take. Canucks scorred on the ensuing power-play and he still stood by his take at the end of the night. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanev would never lose coverage on McDavid but too bad Benning thought he was a really smart and bold GM and didnt sign Tanev Knowing our luck, If we had re-signed Tanev we would have another Dman out.

I’m so tired of the lack of "heart and soul" from Horvat on a consistent basis and I love Miller but his yo-yo effort games are frustrating. Pettersson, Hughes and Demko can’t carry this team on their own. Also, don’t blame the missed call. Good teams don’t break down after one bad goal. I thought that Pearson was very good tonight and had a lot of jump. Sometimes he can look bad as he's around the puck a lot in our defensive zone but that's more of a sign that he's always covering back when the rest of the forwards blow the zone or get caught up ice. Horvat missed a lot of chances and got caught on the wrong side of the puck on the power play. I thought that Miller had brilliant moments and also a couple of shaky ones defensively... yo-yo effort game as you said. On to the next one, lots of positives to take out of this game.

spook007 Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Only got to see the highlights and box score, but seems like a bit of an over kill on these pages... Scored 3 unanswered goals to start the game, numerous chances to kill the Game, no Myers in defence, away game.... Lets get a few more games under the belt before we burn the barn down and chase everyone out... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comeback_Kings Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Pretty cool how ramped up NHL teams are on opening night. Thought the LA vs. VGK game last night, like tonight's tilt, was a high energy game. Canucks players looked visibly upset about losing this one. They played hard. A lot about what will help them win games this season was on tonight, but special teams need to be special to win in this league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canucks_fo_life Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 They outplayed the Oilers 5 on 5, but with 8 powerplays you need to cash in more than once, especially with all the talent upfront. That non call on Hughes getting highsticked in the face was definately the turning point, would have been a double minor and cancelled out the Oilers powerplay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They started playing passively and basically waiting for Oiler attacks. Too many times both forwards and Dmen let McDavid go on without the puck and then of course he got the puck again and scored. Yes he's fast and skillful, but why did no one cover him once Pearson lost him? There's needs to be covering of the basics - remember who is on the ice and never let the top players without coverage.

McDavid had 12 points in 5 games against Calgary in the playoffs! He had 7 points in 4 regular season games against them last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timråfan Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 @JM_ It’s a bit hard to explain Åman phonetics but I give it a try Start with Oh(but take away the h) and then mann. Man tends to get a long a in it and the a is short in Åman. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( That's a team issue ) Quinn Hughes didn't take anyone decisively on that play while Pearson was battling for the puck. Quinn needed to step up on the 50/50 play or else switch off on McDavid after the play developed. OEL and Poolman did a very good job actually tonight. OEL was actually the one carrying that pairing and they did a great job at 5 on 5 against McDavid. Burroughs and Stillman were good enough, nothing to write home about... Schenn threw some big hits, but did get caught flat footed a few times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaNuCkSLoUiE23 Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Can only blame themselves. So many powerplays, but they couldn’t capitalize. Instead they give up a shorthanded goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that said, it is disappointing to choke a 3 goal lead. But I won't lose my mind at least until after Halloween. Too much candy to be nerd raging about game 1 in a 82 game season.
