Post-Series Talk: Edmonton Oilers Defeat the Vancouver Canucks, 4-3, advance to WCF

[StickShift]

Vancouver ran out of gas and couldn’t keep up when Edmonton hit the accelerator in game 6.

Wonder what this Vancouver team could’ve done against Edmonton in a series with Demko. Not saying Silovs was bad, but just one extra goal-saved could’ve been the difference in game 2 or game 4 or game 7.

Good luck in the next round, Edmonton.

This is why you need to play a full 60 minutes. If there were 10 more minutes the Canucks tie it.

And if they played for 180 minutes I bet the score would be like 14-12. Whoa!!!

Oilers once again prove to be the DOMINANT Canadian franchise in the West. 3-0 against the Nucks in the playoffs all time. 5 cups to zero.

Boeser loss was big.

 

[Paulinbc]

"ohh look at what the Edmonton trainer did, he put the pucks in the shape of a 7"

Get bent McLean...

 

[McIce Whole]

Almost beat Edmonton without 2 of our top players, Vancouver’s future is bright. Go Dallas!!

LOL

Sucks to lose a close series, but this is definitely a positive year for Vancouver, especially when a lot of people expected them to miss the playoffs.

They actually have a lot of cap space this offseason, they can add some good piece to support the Pettersson/Miller/Boeser/Hughes/Demko core.

I think they will likely lose depth rather than add anything. They need to sign 3 top 4 D-men for instance.

Guys like Hronek and Joshua will be looking for huge raises, and top four D men will be going for $6-7+ million in free agency.

And I bet you weren't alive for any of it, right?

Evan Bouchard is twice the player Quinn Hughes is.

No he's not, but he was better this series.

 

[eviohh26]

Pretty much this and as a Canucks fan the last 2 games were beyond disappointing.

Maybe it was injuries and obviously the Oilers have way more talent but the Canucks effort was really flat and disappointing as a whole.

Oilers have been in our shoes before. They have fell short and knew what it would take to come back down in the series. They simply wanted it more. Hope it showed our guys what it takes to win for the up coming years.

 

[Paulinbc]

Conor Garland should never be the most dangerous player. Cant believe Pettey just mailed it in

what? I loved Garland, really happy he brought the energy in the third!

 

[trellaine201]

Shilov and Garland were the best nucks. Miller and Petey sucked balls.

 

[StoveTopStauffer]

Oilers barely beat the Canucks minus their starting goalie, their top winger, and with their franchise center having 1 goal in 13 games.

Fun series. But you're going to get smoked by Dallas, and you know it. Enjoy this while it lasts.

Our team was sick the last 2 games and slapped you around.

 

[TheNumber4]

Bouchard>>>Hughes.

Prove me wrong. You can’t.

 

[Szechwan]

Hughes' skating hasn't looked that slow since he was 12, he's definitely banged up

 

[llamateizer]

It took the 2 biggest Canuck MVPs to be out for the Oilers to beat the Canucks in 7 in a one goal game. Safe to say if the actual Canucks roster showed up, theyd win easy

If the Leafs top 4 core showed up, they'd win easy.

If the Canucks are at one or 2 players to go from a division winner to a fringe team, you got a depth problem. That team ain't made for the Stanley Cup even less for the playoffs

 

[Spawn]

No he's not, but he was better this series.

Hughes is a better skater. Bouchard is better literally everywhere else on the ice. Bigger, stronger, better passer, better shot and better defensively.

 

[LTIR]

Unfortunately, yes. He quite clearly did.

Hughes looked great with his latertal mobility and spinning away from checks but really not much more..
Didn't notice any great shots or unreal passes all series.

 

[Soundwave]

Zadarov gets Oilered again in the playoffs. Maybe tone down the pot shots at the city, opponents tend to remember that, handing out bulletin board material like a grandma giving out free candy on Halloween.

 

[ohcomeonref]

Canucks almost had an embarrassing finish. Instead, a million black holes were born in the clenched asses of Oilers fans everywhere.

Hronek can get bent. I don't care if he comes back at all .

 

[Coffey]

I know most Canuck fans aren’t even that bad on HF cause I came out of the series with ZERO infractions.

 

[Connor McConnor]

Most Nuck fans here have been great sport.. I think it's just this one post that is getting quoted multiple times

That’s because most of them are already blocked
