Post-Series Talk: Edmonton Oilers Defeat the Vancouver Canucks, 4-3, advance to WCF

[Fledgemyhedge]

vans not going anywhere. They just gotta put in their time

 

[Czechboy]

8:30 Thursday and 8:00 on Saturday.. no more 10:30 starts!

 

[Spawn]

Evan Bouchard is twice the player Quinn Hughes is.

 

[ManofSteel55]

It took the 2 biggest Canuck MVPs to be out for the Oilers to beat the Canucks in 7 in a one goal game. Safe to say if the actual Canucks roster showed up, theyd win easy

JT Miller was playing. Hughes was playing. The narrative that Boeser is an MVP player is ridiculous. He's a good goal scoring winger, but every team has injuries.

 

[Rude Dog]

Ha. Is that 54 years and no cup for the Nucks.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

We all know canucks fans sure as shit wouldn’t have been.

We weren't even supposed to be here, and everyone else hates your team, so it probably wouldn't have been us dunking on you.

 

[FOurteenS inCisOr]

GG and GL to Oilers and their fans.

Tough to see the Canucks crumble last game and this.

Hopefully a few of the Canucks fans who were heavy on the hubris early remember that the series isn’t over until 4 games are won.

 

[Regal]

Hate to keep ragging on the guy, but if EP is even average in this series the Canucks probably move on relatively easily.

Really hope he gets his head right in the offseason.

Still hoping for an injury to come out.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

This is why you need to play a full 60 minutes. If there were 10 more minutes the Canucks tie it.

 

[LTIR]

The tears from Canuck fans taste better than Calgary to be honest.

Most Nuck fans here have been great sport.. I think it's just this one post that is getting quoted multiple times

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

Conor Garland should never be the most dangerous player. Cant believe Pettey just mailed it in

 

[Ninety7]

Bouchard really upped his game

Can’t really say the same about hughes.

 

[Dust]

Good Series Nucks. Really some tough breaks with regards to health (Boeser), but I can see Vancouver being a good team for the foreseeable future. Will be interested to see what decisions they make on their UFA's in the offseason. Zadorov/Lindholm will be big decisions.

 

[Conspiracy Theorist]

Canucks hope they had started playing sooner.

 

[Rowlet]

Good series to the Oil and their normal posters. The more experienced team won here and you could tell, the Canucks core were absolutely gassed by the end of it.

Wish we could do this with both lineups healthy, but that's not how the playoffs work. With the Pacific being how it is, I think there's a good chance we do this many times again in the coming years.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Bouchard really outplayed Hughes this series.

Unfortunately, yes. He quite clearly did.

 

[archangel2]

McDavid one shot in the game!!!!

 

[Ezekial]

Where's the ESPN analyst image with the Oilers in 7 guys circled for being correct?

 

[ijuka]

Bouchard really outplayed Hughes this series.

Yep, both offensively and defensively. As expected.

 

[Devilsfan118]

Bouchard really outplayed Hughes this series.

Gotta be hurt, right?

 

[Three On Zero]

8:30 Thursday and 8:00 on Saturday.. no more 10:30 starts!

Start times the true MVP from this

 

[Frankie Blueberries]

Almost beat Edmonton without 2 of our top players, Vancouver’s future is bright. Go Dallas!!

 

[wetcoast]

Oilers took it to us. We held on well and capitalized on chances. Kinda of our MO for the season. Simply needed more effort the last 2 games and completely fell flat. Oilers wanted it more and it showed. Wasn't pretty hockey but it was entertaining.

Pretty much this and as a Canucks fan the last 2 games were beyond disappointing.

Maybe it was injuries and obviously the Oilers have way more talent but the Canucks effort was really flat and disappointing as a whole.

 

[Praetorian Caps]

Me the last eight minutes of the game

 

[TKB21]

We weren't even supposed to be here, and everyone else hates your team, so it probably wouldn't have been us dunking on you.

I would hope not, canuck fans have never had a reason in their history to “dunk” on anyone.
