Another battle tonight - Hughes will need to keep his head up.

#RATPOWER - Just win FFS - we got this.

Don't care who's in the edmonton net. We've got the King in ours!

GO CANUCKS GO!

A quick look at HF-edm seems to show they think pickard is their saviour. :D Yep - that's all they needed was to get skinner out. :D

Battle of the 3rd string goalies, Holland probably sees it working in Van and is trying to emulate.

He actually has some decent numbers against Van, from WAY back when - 2016-17 - .917 SV% and 2.64 GAA in 3 games played. Was good for the Marlies in the Playoffs back when too...

But this guy isn't an NHL goalie. Maybe you could have said the same about Silovs before this playoffs, but I think he has proved he can play in a small window at least.

My guess is this is the Knob trying to be "smart" and hiding his starter actually being Stu.

Or the ol' Uno Reverse and getting Soup in!

Goalie positioning can cause posts…. Particularly when out challenging, all there is is post visible

Pardon me whole I step in for my brief commentary of the week and then step aside to allow further play time.

The post/crossbar commentary/discussion is ludicrous.

Let's count pucks that miss by half an inch next...then an inch..then 2...perhaps we should have a grading system...the next great analytics statement....pucks that almost went in.

Ffs.

If I'm EP11.6 or QH I'm keeping my head up for potential thuggery tonight.

Could get ugly.....

Enjoy the game...

I wonder if the idea, with the Oil coaches, in starting Pickard is to get the rest of the team to play a tighter game and a bit more structured.

I think it's monkey see monkey do. Our 3rd stringer is kicking their asses. So they throw their 3rd stringer out there. It should keep the media focused away from their real problems.

I still want to see Zed hit the Scottish out of McDavid. Just David after tonight.
The Cup is soooooo ours!!!!!!!

This series is getting more intense each game, fun to watch!

This is a huge game, hope the boys are ready for it. EDM will not want to head back to VAN down 3-1!

Go Canucks Go!

The reason Skinner is out is 12 goals (some of the extremely weak variety) on 58 shots.
