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

[Commander Clueless]

Ya'll got any more of them Silovs?

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Needed to play more than 10 minutes Vancouver. Also needed a lot more shots on Skinner. He sucks so much quantity is better than quality in his case.

Credit to the Oilers with blocking a lot of shots, and taking the game to Vancouver for 50 minutes.

 

[ijuka]

Skinner was the sole reason this wasn’t a sweep by edm. He blew games 1 and 3.

Yep. Should have been 4-0 with even replacement tier goaltending.

 

[Nostradumbass]

Guessing we won’t hear from him.

Must be throwing the hockey stick in the back of the Prius to head downtown.

 

[Mr Positive]

Oilers barely beat the Canucks minus their starting goalie, their top winger, and with their franchise center having 1 goal in 13 games.

Fun series. But you're going to get smoked by Dallas, and you know it. Enjoy this while it lasts.

Silovs played as good as Demko would have.

The point about Petterson is weird. He sucked and that's just how it was. The Boeser point is legit. The only thing there is that as heroic as that comeback was, Vancouver was not in this game at all until the last desperate stretch. After the Oilers timeout the Nucks had nothing.

I'm really curious how the Oilers face up to Dallas. Everyone says the Oil will be crushed. All I can say is bring it on.

 

[heynowbababooey]

It's a game that has no effect on my life, so yeah. I'm good. It was a fun few weeks and we had some great times.

Idk, you sound bitter. Lol

 

[Divine]

With the Oilers win today, Corey Perry just hit another performance bonus that will count against Edmonton's cap next year.

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

Weird. Canucks fans were calling it the biggest trade win in history 30 games into the season.

He's a good player but not 8M good. People are frustrated that he demanded this & didn't show. Tbe.

 

[LTIR]

oiler fans in here running down a canuck club that they barely beat
if vancouver sucks so badly what hope do you have against dallas???

Not sure what you mean... we aren't saying Van sucks... VAN media and fans are self declaring their team as handicapped/underdogs/playing on house money etc.

 

[jackjohnson]

Elias Pettersson as your "franchise center" might have been where the Canucks went wrong.


Look at who showed up when the games mattered

Hughes is injured bud. I guess Mcbaby sucks too?

 

[Ninety7]

Lol better passer. You go with a 7 game sample size where hughes is injured. Look at who is going to win Norris then comeback and talk

Bouch is clutch. Quinn is great but let’s not pretend he was better than Bouchard this series

 

[Senor Catface]

With the Oilers win today, Corey Perry just hit another performance bonus that will count against Edmonton's cap next year.

Great!

 

[ManByng]

Canucks out 2 key guys is huge. Take out Mcbaby and Drai, oilers would be shutout

It’s possible that Demko and Boeser may not have made a difference, guess we’ll never know? Enjoy your golf .

 

[Dust]

Yes, the 2 guys that helped you throughout playoffs and face the best checkers and defenders on the opposing team.

You'd be better off just being gracious in defeat and moving on rather than doubling down on every bad take you have. "Fun and exciting series, look forward to a rematch next year" and then just log off.

Learn something from your elder, much more respected Canuck posters. There's always next year.

 

[VainGretzky]

Vancouver is playing a first year AHL starter. This was his first AHL season genius

But But all series you were we beat the Oilers 4 times in the regular season , how did that work out for you

 

[VanCanucks53]

Proud of the Canucks. No one expected us to be here and we took a Cup favourite to game 7 and almost tied it without our leading goal scorer and without Demko.

Future is bright.

 

[Wallet Inspector]

I think they will likely lose depth rather than add anything. They need to sign 3 top 4 D-men for instance.

Guys like Hronek and Joshua will be looking for huge raises, and top four D men will be going for $6-7+ million in free agency.

Eh depends, they got the space to re-sign Joshua for like 3.5 m then can probably get a couple of top 4 D men for about 5-5.5mil each.

Also from what I've seen a lot of Canucks fans want Hronek to be traded.

 

[PULSATING]

I think we can all agree on one thing: Canucks PDO finally caught up to them.

 

[jackjohnson]

Not sure what you mean... we aren't saying Van sucks... VAN media and fans are self declaring their team as handicapped/underdogs/playing on house money etc.

While you were saying Oilers would sweep the Canucks

 

[AnInjuredJasonZucker]

Oilers barely beat the Canucks minus their starting goalie, their top winger, and with their franchise center having 1 goal in 13 games.

Fun series. But you're going to get smoked by Dallas, and you know it. Enjoy this while it lasts.

If part of your argument against the Oilers is that they kept a franchise centre shut down, you're not going to have a good time.

 

[Three On Zero]

Actually disclosing when you get warned or thread banned is against the rules.

Ahhh, I thought it was even disclosing when you didn’t

 

[llamateizer]

Canucks out 2 key guys is huge. Take out Mcbaby and Drai, oilers would be shutout

McDavid was non factor tonight
Draisaitl, same, bad faceoff 38% and 3 shots with 1 assist.

Skinner was a Swiss cheese goalie, if he was slightly decent, it would've been different.

If Cole wasn't a double agent, maybe Vancouver would've had a better chance

 

[eviohh26]

With the Oilers win today, Corey Perry just hit another performance bonus that will count against Edmonton's cap next year.

lol. Did Perry even do anything? Game is too fast for him .

 

[Mr Positive]

Well this will be a cakewalk for the Stars considering who they already beat.

The Avs aren't as good as the team that won it all. Still great, but there aren't any contenders anymore

 

[Nuck Bonino]

Congrats Oilers and fans, Draisaitl and Bouchard are monsters, best of luck next round
