PrintIt was just a matter of time before the Canucks mailed one in. Having clinched the NW Division, Western Conference and the President's Trophy they took their foot off the gas and got out-hustled by an Oilers squad that was sick and tired of losing. It's a treat watching the Oiler kids though isn't it? These guys are going to be a force someday soon.
Mason Raymond definitely showed up but could not get on the scoresheet. He had 6 shots on goal as did Ryan Kesler. It makes me wonder if Alain Vigneault's plan to keep him on line 3 is really a wise move. I mean...Jeff Tambellini on line 2? Give it up already. The guy has not scored a point in 22 games! But the biggest pro of the night had to be Aaron Rome's grouchy path of destruction.
BOOM! Someone's got their hip check down pat!
Rome played 19:03 and ended up a +1. Only he and Bieksa had that kind of +/-. So, since I'm a big fan of Rome, here are 2 gif's of him from tonight's action, both on the same play.
BANGO!
How about a good ol' "Fuck you"?
Great stuff.
I don't think Tanner Glass is too happy about the loss:

Don’t think its quite an either/or on the secomd line Sean.Raymond looks like the 3rd line centre, and Tamby is just warming a seat for Sammy…

does anyone know Raymond’s faceoff % from last night?

I find it difficult to care that the Canucks lost, really.
It was boring, but I know the playoffs are coming, the Jays have won their first 2, and the Whitecaps game provided some excitement. Empire Field looked great with the storm clouds.
Next game.

It does look nice there
Folks in the neighborhood don’t like stadia, and old Empire was old and wooden. Wouls have loked pretty rickety by now.
But I gotta get out there for a game before its gone. I remember going to Whitecaps games in the old Empire. Never understood why they said it had to go the first time….
like the gif…something peaceful and zen about watching that tetherball go round and round.

Soccer sucks, but that was a good soccer game to watch. It’s good lazy afternoon watchin’. Better than golf.

Did you see @azizansari’s tweets from LCD Soundsystem at MSG? Lucky bast.

Ellipses don't compensate for...you know...words........................................
HEY YOU. Sign Manny's get well card!
You realize
that MayRay got his 6 shots because he was on the 3rd line. Most effective line of the night. Just couldn’t finish.
People die people die people die people die go ahead sleep tight in your beds remember what the wise man said
MayRay was a force by himself!

Nah
Hansen and Tambo were buzzing, too.

That line looks like it can be something
And turning Mase into a center does not seem so “stupid”…so far.
Biggest thing for AV this year over others.

I confess
I do really enjoy watching the Oilers play. It’s like they’re fierce little lion cubs pouncing and rolling and growling around on the ice; they may not be terribly effective at the moment, but you can see how they’re going to grow up into godless killing machines one day.

I don't think the Canucks mailed this one in
They played their game, but they were an inch off in pretty much every category tonight. The looked tired and the oilers obviously weren’t.
Giving the oilers credits, they played uncharacteristically complete game tonight. Are they finally learning? I hope not, I want them to be terrible forever.
at least i hope they're tired
It’s nicer to believe then think maybe they just didn’t care.
Well I disagree.

disagree with what?
you’d rather they didn’t care?
The question is
why should they have cared? What more did they have to prove? That team on the ice last night looked nothing like the Canucks we know this season. Edmonton may be a young and fast team, but the boys have been able to keep pace with them easily before, hence the 4-0 (before last night) season. I’m okay with them ‘mailing it in’ the rest of the way. this is the time to rest up our boys and avoid more injuries. Though I will admit I want another 4pt Sedin brother beatdown of calgary.
So I'm picking up the pieces, now where to begin. The hardest part of ending is starting again.
@Wisp: I think they didn’t care enough. I don’t think fatigue had anything to do with it. It’s not like it bothers me. I just want these 3 games over with and everyone stays healthy. Like someone said in the game thread: no injuries vs Oilers was a win

I love Tanner Glass…“yeah, we are looking forward to that one now”.
Oilers, for whatever reason ( I am going with Ginger Capt. and the “off 5% in everything tonight” ) had this one.
I am pretty sure our guys have the next one.

They were definitely off
It was probably a combination of mailing it in and underestimating what Edmonton could do. I also wouldn’t be surprised if they take it to them on Tuesday

Like my sig says…“the victory moved the Oilers within 54 points of Vancouver…”
I expect the same. Might even get embarrassing for the Oil…
