Post-Game Talk: Good enough!

[Ibanez]

Silovs sure looked tired. I think the whole Canucks team did. No push from them tonight. Oilers played decent defensively but they didn't have to do much. Kind of feel like Nucks were resting up just for a charge in game 7 but its a huge error. The Nucks best chance to take this is in a game 6. A vet Vegas club fully realized that was their only moment and got it done. This Nucks group, I still sit here wondering how this even has got to game 7. But thats kind of what you get when your starting goalie threw two games away. Its bizarre the series isn't over by now. Oilers have been the better team in 5 of the games.

We need to pepper Silovs. He’s played great but this schedule is brutal for a young goalie.

Keep the pressure up and we have a good chance next game

He messed up on the Hoglander goal but in his defense that’s the first ES goal he’s been on the ice for this series

He’s been good defensively all series. I count two at most mess ups from him, tonight’s being somewhat debatable as I think most of the blame should go to Nurse on that one.

Not me. Been trying to put that out there on the mains since the LA series.

But the real narrative battle we need to win is the Bouch one. He’s so hilariously underrated by the league.

Booch should've been in Norris convo all along. I mean look at the head to head this series. Hughes is predictably just nothing and Booch is owning. Not even in same ballpark.

To put into perspective Booch would be leading the playoff scoring race if it were not for Draisaitl and McDavid being ahead. Thats some Bobby Orr production territory. Over PPG in regular season and now even more prolific pace in playoffs.

Ekholm nursing a bug or an injury? Looked like a guy who was battling the flu to me.

If Mcleod doesn't change his game he needs to be replaced. We have an entire third line that doesn't do anything offensively and dont play physical its an entire playoffs of them ding cardio.

He won’t change, let’s replace him yesterday

If they ever made a movie about his life, he could be played by Peter Dinklage.

Stoked to be wrong about this one

Play like that on Monday f*** the Canucks let's gooooo

 

[soothsayer]

Man, don't fight people over this shit. At the end of the day, talk trash but it's just a game.

Best Crowd in Hockey doing its thing.

Great performance by the fans today.

You notice that Oiler fans don't scream for a penalty when one of the Oilers falls down.

 

[Drivesaitl]

Everybody looks dumb in stuff like this. The adult should know better but he's a Canucks fan so IQ challenged.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

Hopefully it was the Canuck fan getting stupid, I see no reason Oilers fans should be pissed after this game.

 

[TheNumber4]

I will not tolerate any Skinner hate for the next 48 hours!


I think he will do it again in game SEVEN!!!

f*** yah he will. We got this.

"Woooooooaaaahhhhhhhh, we're halfway theeeerrrre KANE SCORES!"

Loved that moment

That’s cause our Hockey fan intelligence is off the charts.

Did Mcdavid shoot? I'm beginning to be wonder if his wrist is injured.

They were talking about that. He's never played this many games before in such limited time. Only thing similar in WC. He looks really tired. Wasn't sharp but the Oilers were peppering somewhat. He was much better in first 4 games. We didn't make him stop much of anything in game 5.

Anybody else see that steak on the ice and immediately think it’s @5 Mins 4 Ftg and that he smuggled it into the building in his underwear?

Took this pic right after I chucked it on the ice!

 

[Perfect_Drug]

I bet we see DeSmith

When silv gets pulled?

 

[Bryanbryoil]

Did Mcdavid shoot? I'm beginning to be wonder if his wrist is injured.

Once, on the US feed it said it was 84mph. Looked off his shots lots again. The US media are making mention of it and saying that it's likely an injury, are they saying any of this on the Canadian feeds?

 

[lopper]

Woooooooooooo!!!!

The good news is players tend not to stay sick long and for some we're already talking one week duration. Game 7 our whole group should be over this and feeling about as good as its possible to feel in playoffs. Even if Nucks are over it too Oilers top end so much better and dominant.

One game for the marbles. Nucks had two shots and wasted one. Not a great idea probably.

 

[Arty Spooners Bsmnt]

canucks fans if we win game 7 in Vancouver

Make it so!

I liked Carrick's game tonight. Second on the team with 6 hits, one behind Kane, and 58% on the dot. I think you have to keep him in the lineup ahead of Perry. He's doing more for the team at the moment.

First game we outhit the Nucks and it was a complete mystery why Carrick wasn't drawing in. Perry does nothing. Both Brown and Perry don't hit anything. Thats been my biggest disappointment with Perry. I would've expected him to still be physical even while struggling to produce. He's basically been reduced to between whistles stuff. Got his ass parked for a reason.
