Sportsnet are the oilers of camera angles.

Terrible camera work at the end of period.

 

[Morpheus]

Stats after 2:

 

[The Nuge]

Huge kill on the 5 on 3. Gotta keep up the pressure on the next one

 

[dustrock]

My wife believes pro sports, if not completely predetermined, is heavily influenced for certain outcomes.

I reject that notion out of hand except when the Oilers are suddenly 0-8 last couple of games on the PP.

Is Vancouver just better on the PK than LA?

 

[Satire]

The only team that can beat the Edmonton Oilers is the Edmonton Oilers.

...

Gotta keep pushing in the 3rd period. The Canucks are going to come out flying.

 

[sepHF]

RNH did great there

Really nice blocker stop by Stu too

 

[TheNumber4]

Good period. But f*** we are making it tough on ourselves. Horrible PP. Dumb penalties. Bad execution.

 

[Stealth1616]

Huge kill that makes up for not scoring on the 5-3.

But good lord don’t sit back in the 3rd

The team that hits the most has consistently had the most success this series.

 

[FiveFourteenSixOne]

Terrible time for the Oilers PP to turn into a pumpkin, I tells ya.

 

[29Beast97Mode]

As bad as the oilers PP looks, so does the Canucks

 

[Mcnofool6110]

Huge f***ing kill after the timeout

 

[TKB21]

Good period. But f*** we are making it tough on ourselves. Horrible PP. Dumb penalties. Bad execution.

Yeah it’s tough to watch, would of thought this team matured enough by now to not do stupid shit over and over annnnnd over again.

 

[nexttothemoon]

Well that was a much better 2nd because they finally got some rubber on net and 2 more went in.

Stay pushing and outshooting them in the 3rd and this series goes to a stressful 7th.

 

[29Beast97Mode]

Canucks look flat so far

 

[TheNumber4]

The PP is so disappointing. People are giving way too much credit to the Nucks PK. We are beating ourselves on the PP.

Need to corral and control the puck firstly, then move it with confidence and don’t force passes. We can be much better than we’ve shown, but we’re in our own heads.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

We need to finish this kill and keep our foot on the gas. Keep hitting them so that they get to feel what most of our players have for 5+ games. Carrick should hit everything that moves.

 

[oXo Cube]

That's the Captain we've been waiting on.

I made my peace with whatever happens in the series overall after game 5, but if they blow this game I'll be upset for a good long time

Connors passing it way too much on the PP. He needs to shoot more.

Yeh they talk a lot about that but now it’s time to show it. This is where the real tests of maturity are.

 

[McDeepika]

I seriously have no idea what has happened to McDavid. I was certain he was the GOAT until this year. How does he just completely forget how to shoot?

 

[rboomercat90]

Ugh. 2 brutal penalties late in the period just after things had started going our way. Not sure what Ryan was thinking hauling down his man after the Oilers 5 on 3 ended and the second one was a terrible loss of focus by the pk’ers. Good work killing the first one off and needs to be mentioned what an excellent blocker save Skinner made too. He’s deserved his criticism but credit was due on that one.

 

[TheNumber4]

Connors passing it way too much on the PP. He needs to shoot more.

Just hate the forced passes. Really, he’s been doing it all year.

 

[29Beast97Mode]

Bieksa has good analysis

 

[ZJuice]

In regards to the oilers flops: if you can’t beat them, join them
