Adam, was that your doing? Pettersson getting a charging call while being completely stationary in XY-space?

It is worthy to blame Adam in general and for this specifically. Two thumbs up.

The newspaper swat to the back of Pettersson’s head was so powerful, its ripples broke the barriers between realities.

I'm more flabbergasted that the Oilers were 0/5 on the powerplay. Bad calls/poor reffing in this playoffs are a dime-a-dozen.

Having watched the Jets special teams be extra "special" all year, I'm amazed ANY team can go 5/5 on the PK against ANY team, never mind against the Oilers. But the Canucks didn't qualify for the playoffs by clipping coupons, they have a really good team. Look at how they've lost relatively little by having to put in a 3rd string goalie, meanwhile the Oilers are on death's door now that they're not getting unsustainably supra-Vezinal goaltending by Skinner and his delusions of mediocrity. All I need other than Canucks winning in six is for Zadorov to finish off "the battle of the 91s" by launching Kane into the third row. |

I thought the Canucks PK did a great job getting their sticks in the passing lanes the Oilers wanted to use. I'm not sure if that is new, but was really good last night.

They definitely did a great PK job. Being aggressive is so important against a good PP. Like, if you gamble to harass them and lose, you don't actually lose much, because whatever they "win" there isn't really much more than they'll "win" if you just sit in a four man box and let them play hacky-sack for half a minute before getting a glorious chance. It's a bizarre inversion, but yes, the more dangerous an opponent is, the quicker you need to challenge them. To give an example from poker: if I'm heads-up against a legend, I'm going to fly at them like a spider monkey. A weaker player clearly over their head in a first time matchup, I'll lean back and try to pick off the mistakes I'm sure they'll make. My failure to do the latter is behind my single biggest poker L in my life. |
