No respect for Silovs from Simpson on that last play. “He had no idea where it was”….his blocker went right at the puck, which hit the post. I actually think he was in position to stop that if it was on net.

Great road period to start - not perfect, some close calls defensively, but a really nice start. Now come out and keep playing in the second and third.

He tracked the puck perfectly despite having like four guys dive on top of him.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

He is, and that's just what you get from a 23 year old 3rd stringer playing in the semifinals. He plays a very sporadic style

Heck, DeSmith plays pretty erratic too, as do most backups. When you don’t have your starter, it shows. But Silovs is doing what he can to give us a chance.

Massive play by Hughes on that one scramble to sweep it back under him.

Keep on firing, don't hold the lead.
We need to get more goals and play some stellar defense.

Thats what im worried about, this team seems to sit back playing with the lead a bit to much at times. I know most teams will sit back, but the canucks do it quite a bit, and without demko thats dangerous.

Jt miller and boeser is nuts

I remember when we got Miller there were some fans of other teams making fun of his 3 goals and 24 points in 60 playoff games up to that point

He has 29 points in 26 playoff games with us

Toooooo be faaaaaair...

Miller is an example of an exceedingly rare player who is peaking in his late 20s/early 30s. Very much a late bloomer who had to learn to control his emotions.

You can't acquire/sign players like him, they are almost never available.

 

[Jovofan]

Good period. Got some major puck luck that period and a bit of help from the refs (we'll take it) but I like the way we're playing. As long as we keep attacking I like our chances. Skinner is rattled and doesn't look like he can make the big save to keep them in it, just gotta keep firing it and he'll give up more. The start of the 2nd feels like it's going to be on Oiler onslaught we can't take any dumb penalties and let them back in it.

 

[Bures Elbow]

If we sit back and just absorb pressure we’re losing. They almost scored twice in 1 minute to end the period.

 

[logan5]

I'm not even close to excited by this lead, because this game is far from over. I hope they can keep it coming though, and build a bigger lead.

 

[VanJack]

This is the kind of game that could end 8-6 for somebody. Tocchet has the bite bullet with Cole....the pace and physicality is just too fast for him.

What a brutal period by Edmonton. Completely lost in their own zone

Reminds me of the Eakins days

 

[ProviesGhost]

Brock has been absolutely wonderful. Hronek so far has been my biggest disappointment.

 

[SillyRabbit]

Okay new PP set up should be Boeser at that point and Hughes on the half board.

It's working lol.

Bieksa just said he agrees with this take lol.

I think we should try it.

I didn’t think Cole was bad that period?

Also thought Cole was largely good in Game 2 other than the massive, massive blunder at the end.

Skinner couldn't stop a bullet from a firing squad...
