York Newbury: Canucks stumble, lose game two

Refs weren't so great last night, missed calls both ways and some pretty blatant ones. Tocc wasn't too happy with some of the non-calls:

“Tough job,” Tocchet said of veteran referees Kelly Sutherland and Eric Furlatt. “The only thing I don't like is the slew-foots. There was a couple of slew-foots there on Huggy I didn't like. But other than that, I mean, what are you going to do? It's a tough job. There was a lot of stuff out there tonight.”

Skinner had 22 shots, Silov's 31.

On net, it was 19 and 31. Assume you're referring to the attempts numbers, which account for missed and blocked shots as well

Cole should slip on an Oilers jersey he’s been so bad the past two games.

He played great in Nashville, but maybe the pace of Edmonton is a bit much for him? He also played a bit wonky down the stretch when he was getting overused... maybe he needs to sit a couple game, but I don't know if I trust Juulsen against the Oilers

Point being Silov's was the busy goaltender on the night.

Yes, he was... and TSN also says 19 and 31

@patersonjeff

0 shot attempts for JT Miller, Elias Lindholm, Dakota Joshua & Filip Hronek in Game 2. Need the puck in order to shoot the puck. Starts with more possession, but easier said than done when McDavid & Draisaitl want the same thing

Thanks Yorkie.

They have to power through it.

Canucks have to press it when McDrai aren't on the ice, and hit the hell out of them when they are. They're playing close to 30 minutes, need to be more physical with them.

Aren't going to get the hard matchups in Edmonton, which might work against the team, but also might work in their favour if they get JTM's line against someone else.

The team that scores first can't seem to win so far this series, also both teams had a complete shut down in third periods. Game 1 Oilers couldn't get a shot in the last like 20+ minutes of the game and a very similar third period of the Canucks.

After seeing the Boston Florida game decided by a double minor, it kind of hurts to have that go uncalled.

Stop being so emotional, it's only a game.

Trying to figure out how Hoggy got a penalty for taking a stick in the balls 😆

I hope Ian Cole and Tyler Myers eat some spinach for breakfast tomorrow. Those two need to be a bit better.

Remember that terrible terrible Oilers opera anthem? Some Canucks fans made a response:

I didn't realize he had any?

Will be interesting what the adjustments are for the Canucks. You know RT is round tabling it now with his staff.

Of note, only line up changes, in all the playoff games to date, were for injuries.

So are these calls ups getting a nod or forgotten Amon? Any Juulson believers?

Unless he’s a tranny but who the hell knows nowadays 😆

I think everyone’s given up 😆

Carolina better show up tonight or Brind'Amour is most likely done with them. I'd like to see the Rangers sweep em, personally.
