GAME THREADGive Drai the Drago treatment.
“I must break you”
Watching the Bs get smoked by Florida is a great way to start the hockey watching day 😊
At home no less. The boos were magnificent
That last PP goal was just chefskiss
🤌
Actual pregame content on SNP love that for us
LFG BOYS I'M HYPED.
Reinhart does what Sissons doesn't with an empty net.
Or what McDonut doesn't.
Or what RNH doesn't.
Trying to find a pub in Tokyo right now to watch the game 😢
What time/day is it there
It’s Saturday probably around 2pm. I know it’s noon in Australia
Saturday, 11am. Any ideas?
Tell me, future man, do we win?
Chances look good 🔮
Is there a prop bet available for which ethnicity Paul Coffey will be racist toward tonight?
Yes so dm me for odds.
Lol Boston fans are leaving
Whole minute left that’s a lot of hockey to play, at least when the Canucks are playing haha
White Spot Take out Dinner on Wednesday night - Canucks Win.
White Spot Take out Dinner tonight…

Hamburger helper for the kids
Cold beers for me.
Dinners sorted.
Darnell Nurse wishes he was as good as hockey as his cousin.
I don't understand how Hrudy is still a presenter. He isn't exactly good at being a TV personality, and he doesn't offer much in terms of hockey knowledge. Probably just old boys club stuff.
being a modern hockey analyst on TV is the easiest job in history
Team is winning: they have speed and skill
Team is losing: they do not have speed and skill
I hate how the narrative isn’t “the Canucks played well keeping McDavid to no shots” but more “McDavid didn’t play well” I swear if we win this series it’s going to be about how terrible the oilers played.
I might be biased and am pretty new here but honest to god this sub is way funnier than the Oilers or Predators subs. Just way funnier chirps
I see Juulsen on the ice. Seems the Canucks are running 7 D
I’ve seen him out a few times and he doesn’t actually play (I think the scratches warm up just in case). But we should find out pretty soon here!
Finish your checks on Crysaitl!
So is there a possibility that Lekki and D-Petey could play in the playoffs? This is such a tease into the future. 👀
That would be bad because it would mean they're replace injured players. I'd love to see Pettersson make pinpoint passes to Lekkerimaki. That would be amazing. But I doubt Tocchet wants to plug in somebody who has zero experience playing his system. At least D-Petery has more experience with Tocchet's system down on the farm I think.
Likely not
If Sutherland does Sutherland things tonight i wonder how effective a fire Sutherland chant would be instead of a ref you suck chant. You have to think a fanbase calling for an official to be fired on one of the biggest stages the league has to offer would turn some heads. Obviously every fanbase does a ref you suck chant but not fire a certain official. With his history against us I think it would be justified and hopefully has the leauge have a closer look at Sutherlands record against Vancouver
It would just lead to more penalties, man. Refs are soft little dweebs
One thing I love about this team is that if we're down a few goals, it's not a big deal. Gives me a lot more value for money with our games.
It ain't over till the fat lady sings.
Drai and Henrique out for warmups
Also was mentioned Drai will be playing with McDavid to protect him.
Loading them up together makes it much easier for our depth guys.
Out like on the ice or off the ice?
Both on the ice. Both projected to play. As per Sportsnet
Cool thx
That's definitely a username
B's are starting to buzz. Must be all that beer ice.
I’m getting antsy!!!
No matter how tonight goes I will never forget (or regret) how much fun the last two days have been.
Still dont understand the odds spread.
What is it? Nucks by 7?
Athletic Writer, pushing glasses up: "Well, you see, on XG per 60 the Oilers should win the next three cups AND should be retroactively named champions from last year, too." 🤓
Meanwhile we beat them 5 games, dominate the last one, come from behind win after a couple goofy goals by them...but they are the favourite?
What’s our record with Sutherland reffing lol
If I remember correctly, Donnie and Dhali said this morning their record is 0-7-1 lol.
Is he reffing? I’m going to sue
I think it’s like 1-3-0 or something like that

New chant. "Jum-bo Test-i-cles clap-clap, clap-clap-clap"
clap clap, clap clap clap (but not the STD clap)
Bruins fans in /r/hockey are crying about refs... Should I tell them to stop being crybaby whiny little bitches?
It'd be a crime NOT to tell them
naaahhhh just drink their tears
After the league handed the Bruins a cup in 2011 and favoured them for years, they called a bad penalty against them just now and Bruins fans started literring the ice with garbage and $20 beers.
Bout time they get a taste of this... we've been dealing with this for decades
Then we see a weak delayed make-up call.
Anyone know of a good stream that'll have Sportsnet or whatever the Canadian broadcast is? All the streaming spots I use have shitty ESPN
DM’d you
👑👑👑
Mind sending it to me as well?
On hockey . Tv ---- left side -- SN -- hdsport *but you didn't hear it from me streams are bad mkay
Anyone watching the panthers bruins game? Man the colour guy is a bruins homer
Lol bruins fans are tossing trash on the ice
Bunch of dumb bitches.
I posted a poll asking how many powerplays Edmonton will get tonight with Kelly Sutherland as the ref. I think it got taken down
Boston throwing a hissy fit, good shit
Draisaitl playing means EDM is clenching their panties.
Kelly Sutherland serves himself first when his buddies pay for the pizza
In case anyone was going to the North Van watch party - the screen is now 16ft (I.e. tiny af…) if you actually want to see the game you might want to stay home. Otherwise go for the vibes lol
Was it a different size before lol? Where is the N van one anyway?
I want to see the Petey line firing!! Goals for any of those 3 would be massive! We need them to start producing and show that we can score with more than just 2 lines for this playoff run
DoorDash has a 40% off Mother's Day promo at select restaurants if you're too lazy to cook like me today
Oh shit thanks for reminding me it's mother's day this weekend
just finished graduation and now heading home to watch the game. pls Canucks give me something else to celebrate
Congrats!🥳
thank you!
Congrats. Did you get a degree in fine arts? If so, do you think Nashville or the Oilers are the better choke artists?
Shots shots shots shot shot shots!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOKAAAAAAAAAAY
I can’t believe I ever put my trust in Benning. After seeing what our new management was able to accomplish in two years is astounding. Benning was a legit dumbass 90 percent of the time.
I have 3 tickets to the Abbotsford watch party tonight that I’m willing to give away for free. I know it’s pretty last minute but something came up. PM me or reply to this comment if you’re interested in going, I’d rather someone have them than for those seats to be empty!
I am watching the Bruins game while waiting for the Canucks game to start. The crowd is sitting so still that I mistaken dark shirt fans as empty seats
In other news, the Boston Teddy Bears are losing 3-0 in Boston 😁
Just booed off the ice after 2 periods. Can't relate!
I'd boo them off the ice before the game starts personally
no more bench penalties!
Holy shit. Remember those awful commercials featuring Messier and McDavid? Where Messier was trying to get ahold of McDavid, "Conner? Conner?"
Now, all of Edmonton is doing the same thing, wondering where this guy is. Can't find him, can't find his cardboard personality ass anywhere, especially in Rogers Arena, guy is MIA.
I'm really hoping for a big win tonight. I've had a garbage day.
I hope your day gets better one way or another, friend.
Thanks man.
On Canucks ice and Skinner in net it's guaranteed win night. I don't care if the Canucks are down 3 goals going into the 2nd period, Skinner will find a way. And if they lose tonight the whole of Oilers nation will be peeing their pants and squeezing their sticks, so guaranteed win night game 3 too.
Any word on Draisaitl?
Game time decision but they apparently just used a placeholder for him in practice (instead of switching the lines to make up for his projected absence), and he looked pretty happy in his pre-game interview so I’d be super shocked if he didn’t play.
He played on basically a broken leg last year, almost nothing’s gonna keep him off the ice in the postseason
Gametime decision.
I hope he plays, and I hope we smoke him like a surly trout.
I worry about him going and making some dirty play that injures a Canuck if he’s a step behind due to his health
Oh how sweet it would be to head into Edmonton up 2-0!!!
loved Miller's pre-match interview. they are prepping for beast mode McD and an Oilers team to come out hot. Gonna be a wild start I reckon, hoping it's us going up early this time.
Don’t take a penalty in the first minute of the game.
Actually, try not to take a penalty at all! Thanks!
Also lets try and score more goals then them
That too!
Looks like the TV at the viewing party in North Van is tiny.
So im staying at home instead
From a rangers fan, take their souls and go up 2-0.
TOUCH GRASS EVERYONE THERE IS NO REFEREE CONSPIRACY AGAINST US STOP COMPLAINING BEFORE EVEN A SINGLE CALL HAS BEEN MADE
So much talk about the referees who gives a fuck, it’s not like he’s the only ref that’s screwed us in the past
If who’s reffing is the worst Canucks news today, I’ll take it.
Kelly Sutherland is the Scott Foster of the NHL, and we are his Chris Paul
I am expecting a lot of penalty calls tonight, we will be fucked... by Kelly Sutherland
Hopefully not - but it's not a great feeling seeing him in the line-up.
Petey finally puts it all together tonight, and sets the Hog loose. 3 point night for each. LFG boys!!!
2 goals for petey tonight I can sense it
Subscribe!
If you are going to the game tonight, and feel sick, wear a mask. There is absolutely nothing to be embarrassed about having a mask on in public. Remember, people wear oilers jersey outside all the time
I 100% got COVID from Game 5, as did my mom, I just got back into work yesterday. Wear masks people.
I’d wear a mask if I had to wear an oilers jersey, sick or not.
I'd wear a mask if I had to live in Edmonton, regardless of what I'm wearing or if I was sick
I’ll be on a flight for the first half of the game. By the time I land it better be 9-0 Canucks and I wanna see the camera pan over to Skinner crying on the bench
I'm missing most of the game for my best friends birthday, so I'll share this. My dad is 72 and very terrified of tech. Doesn't know how to use a computer or any sort of "smart devices."
He now owns his first cellphone ever. And is learning t9 text just to roast me if the Oilers win any games during this series as he is a fan.
Please Canucks. I love my dad but please win.
"Finish your fucking checks!"
Cashier at the grocery store told me that her young son was chirping a Canucks fan at a restaurant when the Oilers were up, and ended up crying walking out to the truck at the end of the game. He swapped sides and is rooting for the Canucks tonight, a fan is born.
Never too early to discover humility.
This is the way
Sick as fuck today, saving up my energy for tonight! COCONUTS GLOW
Take all the Benadryl and Suphedrine about 20 minutes before puck drop, with a Tequila chaser. Turn the TV to max volume and sit somewhere between 30-40cm away from the screen.
You'll be the only one hearing John Shorthouse call the game.
i will be at the mark normand show tonight in vic. i might make it home for the third. make it 2-0 boys lets gooooooooooooooooooooo
Tell me if this is defeatist or just plain stupid.
Edit* this is just a general question rather than 'blaming the refs' or anything.
But I've been feeling like it's maybe unlikely we win this game with Sutherland on the ice. Playoff hockey is a game of inches. Unjust penalties tilt the ice so much. Especially against a team like Edmonton for whom two penalties = one goal.
Blaming the refs before the game even started is pathetic lmao just play the game right and don’t take dumb penalties.
Hmm it's more just looking at the stats with him on the ice and then trying to extrapolate from there in a realistic way. Just trying to analyse the situation and consider the variables.
🙄🙄🙄
Keep extrapolating buddy doing gods work
Just thinking out loud amongst friends my guy. Hope you're having a good one. Enjoy the game!
I hope we can at least set up for the power play and get more shots our way than shorthanded shots
Tell me, what is best in life?
To crush your enemies
Crush your opponents, see them run from your home arena, hear the lamentations of their fans
Yesssssssssssss
Drai playing injured is better for us than him missing the game, when he plays hurt he is a massive liability, his one timers miss the net consistently and lots of plays die on his stick
I'm feeling pretty preeeetty good about this one, boys.
The Canucks are perfectly equipped to control the game and beat Skinner over and over and over again. High glove side, five hole, deflected tipped and even bombed off the blueline.
I even hear EA will be doing a virtually reality Stuart Skinner experience called Rented Mule Vision.
Kelly Sutherland, go fuck yourself
Survive the early storm, steal a goal to get them pissed off, win da turd and gedder done boys
Those lindholm and Zadorov trades look mighty fine right now. They’ve played against Edmonton so much while they were in Calgary. Rutherford saw the future.
Rangers vs Canucks
Stanley Cup Final
Game 7 overtime @ MSG
JT Miller gets tripped on a breakaway and gets a penalty shot and a chance to make history
He scores on the team that drafted him and traded him away,
As it’s his turn to skate around with the cup the crowd starts chanting JT Miller
Then I wake up

Analytics said we shoulda won rnd 1 gm 2. If we play that exact same way we did that time. WE WIN
This will be the Petey game.
He's going to shit on Kelly Sutherland's script and fuck up the Oilers bottom six
1-0
WELCOME TO THE PETEY GAME
Or get an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty and a game misconduct for rolling his eyes
Fuck Kelly Sutherland
Article from 2013 discussing some of the "history" Kelly Sutherland has reffing Canucks games.
Spoiler: It's not great!
How stupid is it that the game is basically over before it’s even began due to a ref. NHL league office is a joke
Game isn't over til it's over dawg... And it literally hasn't even begun
My hope is that with Tocchet both buttering him up in his pre-game while casually mentioning he knows there’s a history of Sutherland and the Canucks, he’ll actually make an effort to keep any lingering bias that may exist out of his calls due to the scrutiny he knows he’ll be under from this market. Fingers crossed, at least.
Somehow I doubt he cares about the scrutiny of the market but we can hope his boss does :)
0-7-1 when that peckerhead works the game.
The betting odds swung in the Oilers favour when the refs were announced. Not great optics for the NHL
Draisaitl is probably gonna play with an injured back. Incredibly stupid. Im not sure how he survives completely clean big hits from someone like zadorov.
Not if Kelly Sutherland decides to call whatever he wants
That’s why you hound and pound him relentlessly. Cross check him in the back.
To those that say, no we shouldn’t do that, just be fair and clean, fuck all that. Every single play I see Quinn getting run late, hacked and slashed. All that matters at this point of the season is winning.
Not to mention Drai is a dirty piece of work himself, a pissy little pos.
Watch oilers fans call us dirty for not giving drai special treatment
Kelly Sutherland... God fucking damnit.

I’m actually really annoyed that people are scalping them when it’s a great experience for families that can’t afford to go the game. I wish the venue would ban whoever bought the initial seats and is reselling them for 4-5x the price now.
yea fuck those greedy pricks
Draisaitl will either not play, or play injured. This is a very winnable series, but you can never take a team with McDavid lightly. Stay focused. Stay humble. Play hard.
COCONUTS GLOW
He'll play injured.
His interview today, while he didn't overtly state it, was pretty "read between the lines" that he was going to play, IMO.
Drance also said this morning that they basically used a placeholder on Drai’s line during practice. Which usually indicates they are expecting the player to be back. If not they usually jumble the lines a bit. He’ll play injured. As I’m sure some of the Canucks are too.
LETS. GO. BOYS.
2-0 on home ice against the oil is a series-changer.
Win fuckers
I’m just here to say Fuck Messier and FUCK RYAN WHITNEY that rat fuck.
Can someone fill me in on why we hate Messier? Read somewhere about him claiming credit for a goal he later admitted he didn’t land or something? Is that it or?
Do you seriously not know why we hate Mark "Adolf Hitler" Messier?
How long have you got?
Jesus, he caused so much damage. I’m onboard with the hatred yeah.
If we somehow win this game, I will personally plan the R̶i̶o̶t̶ Parade.
I am once again asking for:
- PP to not be ass
- Petey to score
Please and thank you.

I'll take it 100%, I'm just gonna keep asking for the same things next game anyway lol
I knew the Oilers fanbase was entitled but I didn't realize it was this bad. It's almost as if they're owed something.. I guess getting 1OA in 4 of 6 years will do that to a mfer..
I don't even know if Tampa vs Columbus in 2019 was this overconfident lol
Yeah and they’re complaining about us being fair weather fans lmao
It's bound to happen when the media has been telling them they are cup favourites since they drafted Taylor Hall
Best part about the Leafs being out is being able to actually get real pre-game content, no more "ok, so back to Toronto to hear from David Kampf" interruptions.
