Edmonton fans questioning if McDavid is the one blocking the reformation of the Nuge-Drai-Yamamoto line. I am hoping this type of story picks up steam. It is stuff like that which will lead to the trade request we all want.
I would almost guarantee this is the case.
I don’t think it’s a coincidence that once McDavid came back from injury RNH has been stapled to McDavids wing and the coach hasn’t put RnH back with Draisaitl and Yamamoto.

It's just hard to ascertain what you need to do to catch up or keep a lead. Baseball has the games behind column which is cool, but of course NHL can't really do that because they don't want OT games to have a loser.

Its irrelevant though anyway because the uneven games...Edmonton and TO played their 4th game tonight, Calgary plays their 4th game on Sunday
The salt is flowing freely on Twitter right now regarding Myers' punch on Tkachuk.
The crazier part is they are complaining that Monahan embellished the Pettersson slash.
He barely raised his hand to his face, after he got a hard slash across the chest/shoulder. Do that to a Sedin and they would have been karted off the ice.

Just stop. This conversation is soooooooooooo stale. The pre-game thread got polluted by this topic and here you are bleating about it again.
It's. Not. That. Interesting. the 100th time.

I keep smashing my crystal balls, because they keep predicting bad losses - and they’re right. I need one that’s wrong! Hoping this one (it’s predicting a 6-1 loss tonight) is a loser. It’s got a big, ugly blue Maple Leaf on it, so my hopes are high.
It’s Miller Time

Scary how seemingly reliant we are on JT Miller. I would expect him to be pretty rusty to start off.
Quote:
DADDY MILLER
Quote:
MILLER TIME !!!
Great news!
Quote:
Jake being bumped back down to the bottom 6 makes Miller’s return worth it alone. It’s been painful watching him play on the top line.
Quote:
Am I the only one who thinks getting Miller back isn’t gonna change things much?
I mean he’s our most important forward I get that.
But one guy can’t fix a whole team.
Quote:
Should definitely win with Miller

I hope SN never brings back the shot counter just so we get hundreds of comments about it in every GT
Quote:
What’s with SN not showing the shot count
Quote:
They are still drunk.
Quote:
FIX THE ####ING SHOT COUNTER
Edit: it's been 2 days Sportsnet figure it the #### out
Quote:
So Sportsnet West has shot counters but Sportsnet Pacific doesn't?

I'm starting to get twinges of goaltender envy here...........

I ####ing hate that Marky and Tanev are doing so well while we suffer ugh
Quote:
We made Calgary a lot better.
We should be proud.
Quote:
The more i watch this game, the angrier i got. Seriously, who in the right mind let Markstrom and Tanev go?
On a positive note, Virtanen scores! (For some reason, no body mentioned this)
Quote:
Last years mvp is in Calgary don’t get it twisted.
Quote:
The only reason the flames are still in it is because of marky. How many times have we said that over the years?
Quote:
Flames and Markstrom both extremely lucky this period
(I still can't consider Markstrom part of the Flames just yet, maybe it'll hit me in year 3 lol)
Quote:
I wish Markstrom went to Carolina or another team.
Quote:
If Elias Lindholm hadnt been part of the Hanifin trade he probably would have
Quote:
Tanev a beast on the PK for the Flames here . Hurts man…
Quote:
Tanev was a warrior for us and really was a key player on our PK and you can tell we miss him. Guy did everything he could to get into a shooting lane. We need someone to replace what he brought.
Quote:
Freakin Tanev launched the counter attack so fast.
Quote:
Seeing Tanev in a Flames jersey makes me ####ing nauseous
Quote:
Markstroms departure is just showing how much the team was carried by him
Quote:
Marky, in the nicest way, go #### off
Quote:
Feels wrong to be disappointed by Marky saves
Quote:
Boy, Leivo's having a good game.
OH WAIT HE PLAYS FOR CALGARY NOW.
Johnny ties it up
Quote:
Same thing as in the playoffs. Canucks play 1 good period and then fall off hard.
Quote:
Oh come on.
We can’t get the damn puck out of our own zone
Quote:
Canucks still think that a game is 20 minutes long I see
Quote:
I used to hate these kinds of games where you're playing decent and in the right places, but you don't actually stop anything because of deflections, blocks, etc.
Really hard to get into a rhythm. Demko hasn't had to do much since I started watching in the 2nd.
Quote:
Ah crap, bad habits cost a goal. Gotta look at it again but one thing that happens when you use post integration too early is you start being passive...you think you have everything covered but because you do it too often you're not really paying attention to whether you have the net covered.

Total meltdown this period

Wtf just happened??
Quote:
This period looks like the Canucks are in quadruple overtime of a back-to-back matinee game at the end of a fifteen game road trip.
Quote:
Green is just sticking to his playoff formula
Get dominated at 5v5
Pray that your goalie and offensive stars bail your ass out
Quote:
Again, flukey bounce and because you're not feeling the puck all that much you're not quite on top of your game. Kind of pointless to try to block when the guy is in the slot, but he probably got surprised that the bounce was that bad.
Quote:
OH NO. WE SUCK AGAIN!!
Quote:
Shots what 20-1 this period?
team is garbage
Quote:
This is just really embarrassing. How do they come out with this level of effort and carry that #### for a whole period? Disgusting.
Quote:
I think the canucks now lead the league in goals against in the last 10 seconds of a period
Quote:
So in 2 out of 3 games we've given up a goal with 2 seconds or less left in a period? Not a good look.
Can't wait til Benning is canned.

HOCKEY ISNT BASKETBALL YOU DON'T NEED TO SAVE YOUR TIMEOUT TO DRAW UP A PLAY AT THE END OF THE GAME IF YOUR TEAM IS PLAYING LIKE DOG#### CALL THE ####ING TIMEOUT

Holy #### that was one of the roughest periods I've seen from a team totally dominating the previous. What could possibly have happened during the intermission?
Quote:
two to ####ing SIXTEEN shots this period holy ####ing #### guys
Quote:
Every game looks the same to me...take bad penalties, get scored on. Get PP, fail miserably.
Chucky uses LEER! It’s super effective!!
Quote:
The experts over at Calpuck must be seething with rage to have such a dirty diver on their team.
Quote:
“Oh yeah let’s see... he... gets........ the left hand from Myers” - exactly what everyone is thinking.
Quote:
LOL Myers officially on Team Tank.
Quote:
Next time someone decides to take a penalty punching that insufferable ######bag tkachuk, take some ####ing teeth, would you please? #### sakes, make it worthwhile.
Quote:
Team looks so out of it. Undisciplined.
I hate that Tkatchuk #### but Myers can't be punching a dude in the face after the whistle, especially while already on the PK.
Petey whacking a dude like that, too. Very obviously in front of the ref.
Quote:
I’d worry about Tkachuk hitting his head on the bottom of the pool with that dive but I don’t think anything is in there.
Actually on second thought I really don’t ####ing care
Quote:
Damn Tkachuk, little ####ing weasel
Quote:
Myers.........our team are the guys in white...........the red is their team.........
Quote:
I hope Tkachuk goes to grab a victory slice with his team after the game and there's no pizza left in the box
Quote:
If you're going to lose you should at least direct all shots to Tkachuk’s ankles in the third
Quote:
Tkachuk is the single biggest bitch in the entire league
Quote:
That might be the most egregious dive I've seen in 30 years. Is this soccer now?

Someone link that i wanna die meme with the whale and the rainbow. That's how I'm feeling right now.
Quote:
It’s amazing how the Canucks just can’t seem to figure out “bend but not break”. It’s always break. And that’s since they became a franchise.
Quote:
Team must've been feeling pretty awesome about themselves after that Stanley Cup-winning 1st period.
Quote:
This is pathetic.
The team that took Vegas to 7 games seems like a very distant memory right now.
Garbage Time Gripes
Quote:
What has pissed me off the most out of the last three games is the amount of quit i have seen from the team in the last 10-12 minutes of every game. Its the kind of #### you would see from the redwings last season.
Quote:
Holy #### can you imagine if we have to spend 4 months getting dummied repeatedly by Edmonton, Calgary, and Toronto?
Quote:
I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed.
But actually I'm not even disappointed, I'm conditioned to expect this. I don't even feel anything anymore. I don't think it's pessimism when there's 30 years of data to back it up.
Quote:
Calgary: gets ass kicked for 20 minutes, makes necessary adjustments and team comes out for a much stronger and high energy effort
Vancouver: gets ass kicked for 20 minutes, comes out lethargic and does pretty much the Same thing
Quote:
I wonder what it’s like having lineup depth
Quote:
Valimaki is absolutely destroying our defensive coverage
Quote:
This is literally like the ####ing Vegas series. Talking heads who didn't watch the games see it went to 7 games and think we put up a decent fight have no idea. We defend for a full shift and a half in our own zone, get tired, dump it into Calgary ice, rinse and repeat. We can't breakout cleanly and we can't string two passes together. Ridiculous.
Quote:
Every time theCanucks play a good period I fully expect them to get dominated the next one. I know some of that is the other team but it would be nice if we could play more than one good period in a row
Quote:
Flames net

I've never seen the 4th line have sustained o zone pressure, but man have I seen them hemmed in more times than I can count
"but they take d zone draws!"
Only relevant if they can get the freaking puck out

Awful powerplay

WHAT THE #### YOU GUYS JUST STOPPED AND STARED AT THE PUCK ROLL OUT OF THE ZONE?
Quote:
All you need to do to stop this powerplay is apply pressure and it falls to pieces
Quote:
Literally every touch Boeser had on that PP was awful.
Quote:
So the Canucks line up for the 6-4 faceoff an-
BY GOD WHAT'S THIS IT'S NEWELL BROWN WITH A STEEL CHAIR
Quote:
0/15 after a 2-minute 6v4 lmao
Quote:
Hey, at least when we had 6 players to their 4 the game was somewhat even for a couple minutes.
Quote:
0/69. Calling it
Quote:
Maybe the problem with the Canucks PP is that they are practicing against the Canucks PK
Phat Ras into the EN
Quote:
It's a 3 goal defeat again but not a shutout. That's progress.
Quote:
What a great 6-4 guys, way to go
Quote:
bro we were up like 16-4 shots at one point
Quote:
We are legitimately actually fighting with Edmonton for the title of 5th best in Canada. I had hope Montreal was all hype but seeing them now it doesn’t seem to be the case. Canucks are just too inconsistent, once the bad contracts are done with then we will be a legitimate playoff contender. We should lower our expectations with the team so we aren’t disappointed with outcomes like today. Just not good enough yet.
Quote:
Wow look at the canucks bench
what a bunch of worn out sad sacks they look like. Is there a coaching problem?
Quote:
Bench half the ####ing team and let the taxi squad play. They can’t be worse.
A Perfect Night
Quote:
Looks like the Canucks are getting a full on Tkachuk special.
Quote:
I can’t believe that after 6 years of McDavid we are worse than when he started.
Quote:
Imagine a year where we suck worse than we have in a long long time... and every loss is against another Canadian team.
What a nightmare

Tied with Vancouver for worst in division

Oilers PP tonight…

Tommy Wiseau had a better performance in The Room than the Oilers did tonight.
Quote:
There's a rot in this organization that they absolutely refuse to remove.
Someone needs to come out with it.
I refuse to believe these players aren't good enough to compete with Montreal.
Quote:
Mcdavid, Drai, Yam, RNH, and the “best” top 6 we’ve had in years, and our scorers the last two games are the guy we signed to be the 13th forward, and the guy we signed to be our 7th D, and Kris f***ing Russell with a post is our next best chance.
garbage effort from this garbage group
Quote:
I got to ask one question . Do the Oilers finish with more or less points then Ottawa ? Honestly Ottawa has looked better

#Flames have six PPG through their first three games of the season (Gaudreau, Monahan, Dube, Tkachuk, Lindholm, Giordano).
Per
@SNstats
, that’s the most through three games since 1992 when they had eight (Nieuwendyk x2, MacInnis x2, Reichel, Makarov, Wilson, Roberts).
