What a surprise the team looked slow and unphysical in the 3rd (I missed the first 2 periods). Holland you are a worthless POS. Thanks for not upgrading on Ceci and telling Nurse to f***ing retire.
And Skinner.

Good thing we have Skinner, or.... Skinner.

Don't win too many games when you go on vacation after you're up 3 goals, Dallas learned that lesson for them the night before but apparently they didn't care.

McDavid on a milk carton tonight

Worst period we’ve played under Knoblauch.

That 3rd period was abhorrent and unacceptable. Enjoy the next days, on to game 2.

Fully expecting this place to be super toxic.

Knoblauch has a choice to make right now. He can either pretend Nurse isn’t a massive f***ing liability and have him go -4 every game this series, or he can play him as the third pair defenseman and shelter him like his play dictates.

Skinner was a f***ing joke tonight but my god did the clowns in front of him not do a single f***ing thing to make a difference. Straight leg Pejorative Slured hockey the whole f***ing might. One team skated and forced the issue, and it wasn’t f***ing us.

Light up a shit goalie in the second? Well why shoot after that? Tried to pass the f***ing puck into the net with the goalie pulled for f*** sakes. Connor standing there with his stick at his side while a tap in rolls by him.

Piss poor effort by the entire f***ing team.

Going to need a much more complete effort to win the next one. Holy moly you could pretty much seem them stop playing and it was concerning.

Luckily we've seen the team is capable.

Really sucks to wait a week and have to sit through THAT, though.

Also would have been nice if our coach realized Ceci/Nurse were not it today and limited their icetime in the 3rd.

Bottom 6 completely invsible and chasing the game because they're too old and slow. Hopefully this is a wakeup call because the nucks showed that they have too much speed and good defensive for us to handle; especially if McD is cold

Reminds me a bit of when the Sharks finally made it to the Finals and the Pens were just too goddamn fast for them to an almost embarrassing point.

Silovs was a potato and gifted the Oilers a win and we quit playing. Against a team that clowned us in the regular season? Was hoping that learning lessons were over for this team apparently not.

Just embarrassing. How do you let yourself dominated like that?? No skating, no forechecking, 5 shots in last 40 minutes. Yes, not very optimistic about this round. Vancouver really has our number this year.

I ain’t even mad. We did not deserve a win at all.

Skinner was bad. Nurse was bad. Ceci can sit for stetcher

And NHl goalie does not let that 5th goal in

And ….last one…

Earth to McDavid. You’re the best player on earth. Time to show it…

What a frustrating game from him

Brutal effort from everyone, game 2 will tell us if they care or not.

Ken Holland knew a year ago he needed a viable playoff alternative to Skinner, and that nurse-ceci was not a tenable top 4 pairing. He spent the last 12 months putting $3.25 million of dead money on next year's cap for Connor Brown. Explain to me how he is better than chiarelli. Honestly show your work. Fire this idiot tomorrow morning
When he took over they needed:
A starting goalie
A top 4D
2nd line RW

They still need those three things. Stetcher absolutely has to come in for Ceci. Nurse, might as well put Broberg in. It can’t be any worse.
