Post-Game Talk: WCSF GM 6 | Oilers def. Canucks 5-1 (Hoglander) | Anyone…anyone…Canucks?

That performance embarrassed the entire city, fanbase, and franchise. Game 7 win won’t be enough to make up for this disappointment. Shocked at the terrible showing tonight in an elimination game to advance to the Western Conference Finals of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Don't care to troll which is sadly what this series has turned in to but I am a bit surprised to see criticism towards Miller. He has been an excellent player and leader IMO.

 

[Bertuzzzi44]

The entire world has been against this team, seriously. Lol.

ESPN and 99% of media are calling the Canucks chokers.

 

[kanucks25]

People disagree with me but we've been shit for the last 3 games. So either the team is running out of gas or we're due for a good one.

Miller and Hughes have been the engine all season but they've been sputtering in this series. We'll need them to lead like we know they can in game 7.

Despite the piss poor effort tonight, Edmonton hasn't shown me anything to suggest they're going to run away with this. If the Canucks play like they can, they have a good shot. And my feeling is the referees will put their whistles away in game 7 and let the boys play, especially considering the Canucks are likely sending multiple videos to the league questioning them on soft calls and dives.

Definitely go with Silovs in game 7. Not a great game from him but very few players go through long stretches without an off night. He's proven he's mentally tough; I'd be a lot more worried about some of our better players (and I'm not even including Petey here because I've pretty much given up on him being a force in these playoffs at any point).

Last game the Canucks absolutely dominated and it wasn’t even close lol

Tocchet should abdicate the PP duties to the Sedins immediately, I literally don't even care if they just institute whatever system they were using in 2011. At least the forwards weren't glued into place in that system.

Whose to say they haven’t though, that drop pass entry has Sedin written all over it.

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

I've heard nothing but good things about Cyberpunk! Wish I had more time to actually play games as opposed to developing them

Enjoy! We'll see you Monday!

Oh, I highly recommend it if you ever get the chance. Fantastic game that I'm somehow getting to run on a 1650 super

Beauty of game 7 is that nothing matter, just one good/bad game, after which you're either resting to play Dallas, or pack your shit and fly to Cancun.

Basically every team does that now.

 

[Flik]

In Ryan S Smith we trust! (That might make a good game 7 GDT title actually)

Bouchard has outplayed Hughes to an embarrassing degree. More disappointed in him than Pettersson.

Based on production? I mean Hughes isn't giving that part to us like he can, but he's not costing us defensively. Bouchard, u either get good or bad. He's cost them and they've spoken about it as much too. We never talk about Hughes like the Oilers do, saying things like oh I guess we get this version of Bouchard today f*** lol.

It'd be nice if he added some production, but dude literally is one of the only reasons we ever enter o zone clean on a pp. He is so dependable holding the line, passes are crisp. We all have differing views of players, but he's imo not a problem in our system atm

ESPN get it together

Wow

Basically every team does that now.

Also true, they need to teach them the rotating with the forward to open a lane if they are going for that point shot so many plays actually they can teach. Need a good screen though the shots are getting through at times someone has to deflect it but no finish.

Again I maintain that the Canucks were easily the better team but not because we were good, but because the Oilers were that bad.

We can agree to disagree.

I thought the Oilers were worse today than last game

If they win Game 7, no one will ever talk about Game 6 ever again.

 

[EpochLink]

Any snippets on the Tocchet presser?

Hughes wasn’t good defensively today, but yea, don’t understand the Bouchard takes. All he’s done better than Hughes is shoot well when he has two of the best players in the world creating lanes for him. And he hasn’t been close to what Hughes does at his best

 

[bbud]

Lol just told off Shannon the hockey guy for wearing a mcdavid jersey like wanna sell clicks to oiler fans move lol

 

[vadim sharifijanov]

putting the kiddo to bed so haven’t watched this yet but

 

[crazychimp]

How hilarious would it be if he did this for us in game 7?

 

[arttk]

We can agree to disagree.

We had the right tactics and the oilers couldn’t adjust in game. They switched it around and we couldn’t adjust.

you need the right tactics, can’t just expect players to make things work when the tactics works against them

I love JT Miller but that's not leadership. You can't play like he did tonight and then call out a teammate.

 

[deadinthewater992]

Was it Cole that said, 'get ready to play a seven game series at the start of every round'?

Team simply has to get up, play for each other, and for an opportunity to advance to the WCF on home ice, come Monday night.

 

[EpochLink]

Joshua hasn’t done shit since game 1.
Call this guy out, he can’t just show up 1 game a series and expect not to be criticized

 

[valkynax]

Again, very strange choice of a hype man.

Ryan Smyth, or even Ryan Whitney, would've been more relatable.
