That is a win for Pettersson, equaling the best player in the league. I don’t see how we lose in this scenario. Definitely a win for Pettersson I completely agree 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they really seem proud of their wit to come up with gems like Sievelovs, or alternatively Sh*tlovs. Quite the fanbase they have up there in the frozen wastes. And the anguish of living in such a place really shines through in many of the posts I read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JamesB Posted May 9 Popular Post Share Posted May 9 (edited) Fantastic comeback win. I thought the game was lost when the Oilers went up 3-1 but fortunately I was wrong. Here are my takeaways. 1. The Canucks were the better team. Expected goals were 3.0 - 1.4, high danger chances were 11-5, and scoring chances were 29-15. The Canucks allowed only 4 shots in the second period and 4 shots in the third even though Edmonton was desperately trying to get the equalizer in the last few minutes. If they had lost I would have said that the better team lost, but the Canucks came up with a great character win. 2. Neither goalie was good. The first Edmonton goal was a classic cross-seam power play goal with no chance for the goalie. But the other Oiler goals were on shots that probably should have been stopped. 4 goals on 18 shots and on only 5 high danger chances is an ugly stat line for Silovs. If the Canucks had lost tonight I would have said that tonight was the first time that losing Demko hurt the team. But I would not be confident in Silovs going forward and would be inclined to go with DeSmith in the next game. 3. The Lindholm trade is now looking very good. He was excellent tonight (better than Petey, obviously) and better than Draisaitl. He was 14 out of 18 in the faceoff circle, including 4 out of 4 against McDavid and 4 out of 5 against Draisaitl. The Lindholm line (with Garland and Joshua) had 3 goals for and 0 goals against and was great at both ends of the ice. Joshua and Garland were both excellent. Joshua had 8 hits in addition to his 3 pts. And Lindholm was second on the team with 5 hits. 4. The Miller line did the heavy lifting against McDavid and actually won the battle. Normally you hope to just contain McDavid and not give up too much, but Miller, Boeser, and Suter were all excellent and outplayed the McDavid line. 5. The Oilers were going after Hughes but the key hit in the game may have been a Myers hit on Draisaitl. Draistaitl seemed to hurt his back and missed some shifts and did not look good when he came back on the ice. 6. Have to mention Zadorov, who had another huge game (and that trade is also looking great). The D as a whole had a good game except for Cole, who struggled pretty badly. But I would still keep him in the lineup over Juulsen. 7. Things got off to bad start when, after all the talk about avoiding bad penalites, the Canucks took a really bad (and really obvious) too-many-men penalty before the one-minute mark. Then Edmonton scored on the PP after the Canucks defenders missed on a couple of clearing attempts. It looked like a classic Benning-era Canuck meltdown. Credit to the team for maintaining focus. 8. We still need more from Petey. However, he did have 3 shots and 4 hits tonight and played well on the PK and at 6-on-5 with the Oiler net empty. He also made a sprawling check to break up a potential McDavid breakaway. And his line gave up very little in terms of chances against (although they had relatively easy minutes). Petey is not getting much offensive help from his linemates. There have already been a lot of comments about Hogs failing to pass it to him when he would have been all alone in front. I still don't feel great about Petey but I think he is close. I wonder about maybe moving Blueger to Petey's line on the wing and moving Hoggy back to the 4th line where Lafferty could play center. But if the Canucks keep winning I guess it makes sense to stick with the forward lines they have. 9. Huge emotional lift for the team and for the fans. It has been a magical season so far.
