Calm this is not game 7
Either score early in third or just come out strong in g7

I am confident

Score early and press.
Seriously, this team is still sleep walking.

 

[I am toxic]

Captain Quin looks tired as heck tonight. Get this f***er some orange slices at the intermission and let's ride.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

I'm not ready to call it yet, but a goal there would have tilted all of the momentum and set the stage for a big third. Now you're asking Silovs to shut the door and the team has to put in two.

 

[Donuts]

5 on 3 maybe needed a hronek slapper to get him going as well.

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

Our PP is pathetic, zero movement and creativity. We've all been calling this for months and here it is

If we wind up losing this series, the powerplay will be among the top lists of our failures. Just unacceptable to be this bad

 

[canucks20]

Embarrassing. Who woulda thought the terrible power play down the stretch wouldn’t just magically become better. This team is pissing away wins with this awful powerplay. They really need to invest in a good powerplay coach this off-season

 

[Jovofan]

That might've been the worst period we've played in the entire playoffs. With a chance to eliminate a team I can't even fathom that kind of effort.

 

[Canucks LB]

Worse game of the playoffs for us
Damn

 

[ahmon]

how can our go to play on a 5-on-3 be a shot from far?

whats the point of even have 2 extra players?

 

[Baby Pettersson]

Weirdly I feel confident trailing in the 3rd against this Oilers team.

But man what a shit period.

Skinner in net is what gives me hope. If there's anyone that can choke in the 3rd it's him.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

2 goals in one period

No problem

 

[kanucks25]

Canucks have been awful since game 4.

Nobody ever wants to hear it when we win a game but we were not good in game 5, the Oilers were just horrendous which made us look good.

Similarly, I heard a lot about how good of a game Miller had but in reality he continued to be ass outside of the goal (albeit massive) and he's been ass in this game as well.

You can talk about some of the calls by the refs but this is yet another piss poor effort.

Silver lining is that the Oilers are not very good themselves and the Canucks have shown the resilience to come back in games. It's not over but it does not look promising so far.

 

[canuckking1]

Because the Oilers are cheating on Pettersson like every team we play but can’t seem to come up with a counter.

They’re cheating on Pettersson because they don’t respect Hughes’ shot. Pettersson and Hughes had to switch spots there

 

[just22]

Oh well hopefully they come out strong and score early on the PP, tie the game late and win in OT to rip their hearts out

 

[StickShift]

This team has completely abandoned the bumper play on the PP. They aren’t even presenting any downlow play as an option. And it’s allowing teams to overindex defense on shots from outside the face off circle.

 

[NoShowWilly]

would have liked some killer instinct there.

 

[Ace of Hades]

Sad thing is the Oilers aren’t even bringing it today. Canucks have just been that bad

Fr. Oilers really don't look all that good, and if we played like we did previously, we would be the one that is up 3-1 here. Sucks since we can use the rest as the Stars are.

 

[Peen]

Weirdly I feel confident trailing in the 3rd against this Oilers team.

But man what a shit period.

Edmonton’s looked tighter and less prone to breakdowns today so im not sure about that.

 

[alicia]

Listening on the radio.. not sounding good. Ooof, win da turd!!

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Team does not deserve to win the series playing like this.

Absolutely shocking.

 

[potatowejj]

Canucks have been awful since game 4.

Nobody ever wants to hear it when we win a game but we were not good in game 5, the Oilers were just horrendous which made us look good.

Similarly, I heard a lot about how good of a game Miller had but in reality he continued to be ass outside of the goal (albeit massive) and he's been ass in this game as well.

That play has continued on in this game.

You can talk about some of the calls by the refs but this is yet another piss poor effort.

Silver lining is that the Oilers are not very good themselves and the Canucks have shown the resilience to come back in games. It's not over but it does not look promising so far.

What? The Canucks were easily the better team in Game 5, they just aren't carrying it through to this game.

 

[JT Milker]

They’re cheating on Pettersson because they don’t respect Hughes’ shot. Pettersson and Hughes had to switch spots there

Correct, but our powerplay is very stationary.

 

[olafsson]

Unreal how bad they’re playing with a chance to move into the WCF. Come on

 

[Slapshot_11]

2 goals in one period

No problem

Bud you think we're keeping them 0 next period?

Hilarious

 

[EpochLink]

Tie this f***ing game in the third
