This league and its refs are a farce. That should be a suspension to the Nucks player all day long.

Where were you game 1/2 when your cavemen were driving heads into the boards and slewfooting?

 

[WestCoast CyberG]

They were better at finishing, but the chances weren’t even close. Edmonton created way more. Silovs stole it and Skinner shat himself in the crease.

“Well yea they scored more goals and all…..” lmao.

Edmontons entire strategy of giving the puck to McDavid….they also scored zero goals even strength.

Canucks have been the better team all three games.

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Keep repeating yourself over and over, you’re not in an echo chamber.

We all need a little comedy relief after a tense game. Lol.

 

[Hank Plank]

McDavid takes a 2-hander at Soucy that stared the whole melee.

 

[Wry n Ginger]

Edmonton had the run of play significantly from the second period on. Canucks went into their shell and I don't like it. It worked, mainly because of Skinner and some poor defensive play from the Oilers and some huge goaltending from Arturs "Post" Silovs, but you can't keep doing that.

Agreed. If you are winning, why change the way you are playing. I get the Oilers needed to ramp up the pressure when they got behind, but the Canucks started coasting and reacting rather than pushing the pace towards the Oilers D.

Tocchet has spent the entire season saying play forward, not backward. Even when defending, push towards the opponent.

 

[NOTENOUGHRYJOTHINGS]

Wait is swinging your stick into another player's face not allowed?

Or its only allowed if the player taking the stick in the face is Quinn Hughes?

I don't know if I would say we were the better overall team tonight. But we did what we had to do. I'll take it.

You know that the Oilers collectively have only scored 2 goals WITHOUT McDrai, yeah?

Why did he get cross checked?

Actually he was cross checked 3 times- one then the slash the the 2nd cross from behind and 3rd cross in face

 

[Spirits]

Sure, but every edge you give up is another mark against you. And the one thing I have noticed about Skinner the goalie is that he doesn't rise to greatness. It really is a flatline with that guy.
The skaters might have a different dynamic from game to game, but good lord there is one low standard between the pipes.

hey, I'm not here to boost either team. But a team needs every edge. We all know that.

Edmonton will never win a cup with this core and watching their "fans" complain every year about goalies and refs instead of the lack of commitment to a 200' game from McDavid and Drai is hilarious.

 

[MikeK]

Yep. Yet Oilers fans with their rose glasses on see nothing wrong. You can't touch their McDreamy at any cost.

Knoblauch also said point blank we need more saves

Well, hope skinner starts again to prove himself

 

[22Brad Park]

The Oilers need to reunite the DRY line, best line in hockey

Ya'll had 5 forwards under 10 mins of ice time.Thats nuts game 3 of 7 game series

 

[RobertKron]

Honestly, I think McDavid was just so tired from playing half the game that he fell to the ice.

 

[ViD]

Zadorov is absolutely terrorizing the Oilers and they have no answer for that

With average AHL goaltending Edmonton’s up 2-1, don’t kid yourself. Shots were 36-7 oilers after the first. Silovs did an incredible job but the Canucks weren’t the better team tonight.

 

[Bizzare]

Actually he was cross checked 3 times- one then the slash the the 2nd cross from behind and 3rd cross in face

He took a little shove, decided to retaliate with a two hand slash. Then ate two cross checks within a fraction of second. Unlucky

 

[Frank Drebin]

Ask Luongo what pumping someone's tires can do.

Chirping after a win is different than chirping after a loss

 

[Three On Zero]

With average AHL goaltending Edmonton’s up 2-1, don’t kid yourself. Shots were 36-7 oilers after the first. Silovs did an incredible job but the Canucks weren’t the better team tonight.

With Demko Vancouver could be up 3-0

 

[larek]

Why are you laughing out loud?

Well hopefully Soucy gets unlucky in this series

You realize the score impacts the game right?

 

[jackjohnson]

Oilers organization will drive him out of Edmonton. He wont have any energy left but keep playing him 40 minutes a game Edmonton.

 

[Larry Hanson]

Big shout out to Calgary. Helping us take down a common enemy.

Shame we couldn't get you Tanev as well.

 

[Gormo]

Does Draisaitl realize when you hit a post it doesnt count as a shot on net?
Because it has nothing to do with goaltending?
