This is a fun thread

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

It was said in response to Miller having a subpar game last night and me essentially questioning if the poster in question wanted to play that game, not a Tocchet-esque preemptive excuse.

Again, if you think Connor is at the top of his game I urge you to catch more Oilers games.

You're missing out on a pretty special and entertaining player.

Miller had good games in the series but a bad one last night. Saying he can play better again doesn't mean he's going to score 5 points every game.

McDavid has consistently been good all series.

This isn't hard.

No, but saying McDavid can play better DOES mean he can score 5 points.

His point totals this series belie your argument (again, by McDavid's own standards that are obviously higher than JT Miller's).

And stop with the snark, makes you look dumber than I think you are.

So suspension for Kane for the cross check or no cause the canucks didn't cry for it?

 

[ManofSteel55]

Not an ounce of respect coming from the Oilers fans. Keep it up.

The Oilers have won 2 of 8 games against the Canucks.

The Canucks have their worst game of the series and the Oilers have their best , yet it was 2/2 in the third. But hey , clear cut superior team bro.

Are Canuck fans being respectful? Trash talking happens.

 

[Zanon]

2-2 series without Demko plus Pettersson and his wingers MIA. I’ll take it.

Come on, no need for the shot.

 

[Ace Card Bedard]

I thought Miller and Boeser were invisible all night.
Boeser got the lucky redirect off a skate late in the 3rd there but I can't say they were generating quality chances.

Garland was Vancouver's entire offense.

 

[Fishy McScales]

Canucks didn't cry for it? When did you get out of bed?

Come on, no need for the shot.

Lol it was in response to him taking a shot but thanks for the policing.

Next game is massive

This series is killing my liver.

First off, me saying JT Miller had an off night compared to the other games & can play better doesn't have anything to do with McDavid.

Secondly, McDavid has played well enough to score 5 points in more games than he has, but the Canucks have also defended him very well which plays a role in how successful McDavid will be, for some reason that part is ignored here.

2-2 series and the oilers had a goalie in one of those games

But it has something to do with McDavid, but because positions are entrenched on the second point we are not getting anywhere so I'm happy to agree to disagree.

There's been lots of wild back and forth, most of the troll Vancouver fans are predictably MIA today. The remaining Vancouver fans posting have for the most part been pretty good.

 

[Coffey]

I'd be more impressed if you had Curtis Sanford in net.

 

[canuckslover10]

It really is up to petey at this point, his line mates are trash but at this point just be selfish and take like 7-10 shots especially on pickard, who wasn’t bad but he was jus my good enough so he is beatable.

Canucks looked deflated after this one, they need to pull their head out of their ass and realize they still have the advantage of home ice and get the next one.

Same goalie you all pumped all year lmao

 

[Fishy McScales]

And for the most part I've had nothing to remark on on that front.

One thing is for sure, mcdavid might win a cup in his life but it will never be with Edmonton. Same with crysaitle

There are Oilers fans I'd rather talk to after a Canucks loss, than certain Canuck fans after a win. And I think that cuts both ways for each franchise.

 

[PuckG]

And a bottom 9 that virtually disappeared until Nuge scored.

Speaking of trolls being MIA...

Definitely.

 

[Paradise Circus]

Best of 3 - should go 7 but who knows if someone steals it in 6.

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

But it has something to do with McDavid, but because positions are entrenched on the second point we are not getting anywhere so I'm happy to agree to disagree.

Theres a reason the Canucks are reverting back to their structure & defending alot, McDavid & Draisaitl have played 30 mins a game together (prior to last night), you can't trade chances with them.

We've seen Canucks teams in previous years try to trade chances with the Oilers & it doesn't work for them all that often.

In this series they're deliberately trying to contain McDavid. In zone they aren't getting too far away from him off puck. They are not giving him open lanes to wind up entering their zone (watch the posture they go into when EDM moves the puck up ice & he's trying to wind up). And so far they've done all that pretty well.

But just focus on them play, when McDavid is on the ice they are clearly trying to stay below him - and in layers.
