I find it rich coming from the franchise than won a lottery to get McDavid calling us lucky
They won the lottery so many times that the NHL changed the rules to prevent teams from being able to get 1st overall every year just because they finished last.

And then the Oilers turned around and benefitted from those new rules when they finished 3rd and had increased odds to win the #1 pick.

Drai with an absolutely idiotic interview.

It's great, they're in the Oilers head. Drai & McDavid are one of the few who that raise their game when mad, the rest get off beat and wilt.

Boys got the message that spearing in the nuts and all that nonsense won't result in any punishment, so going after McDavid at the end when he did a wicked slash was fair game.

This year is reminding me how much our national sports media hates this team.

Our team has American players, in a Canadian city which should have Canadian players. But the fact that Vancouver has been a stand out international city for years, them prairie folks have their feathers ruffled.

Also, the Toronto media must be pissed at Vancouver for playing so well when the Leafs can't do jack shit with their core 4.

Through three games:

McDavid - 81:57
Draisaitl - 72:52
Hyman - 73:50
Ekholm - 73:10
Bouchard - 87:05

What a way to run your stars into the ground.

I'm worried that they start Pickard next game. The way the Canucks have played last two games, decent goaltending for the Oilers could turn the tables reals quick.
The Canucks play stupid turtle hockey with the lead and it only works if the other team doesn't tie it cause the momentum shifts to the other team when you sit back. The Canucks play a high octane hockey when they're tied or down.

Bouchard's ice time: 31:03 😲
Him plus McDrai over 29 mins haha good luck wearing them out even if they win series 2 rounds to go for prize. Stupid time management. Goal is the cup not just winning another round. Canucks solid team effort. We need a better breakout and some improved face offs but wins a win. Silovs wow just wow.

Pettersson is kind of a Sisyphean character this playoffs being forced to push a rock up the hill all by himself, but our depth and systems have been such a strength that we are making it work without him producing and that is a a *good* thing. If we can get him going we are an insanely tough out.
