That was rough.

Oilers played amazing on the forecheck, backcheck, and on defense. Dominated in transition and kept absolutely everything to the perimeter. Probably their best game of the season when they needed it

 

[arttk]

They need to fix the breakout

 

[Baby Pettersson]

Least that wasn't game 7!

If there is one thing we've done all year it's bounce back after a tough loss. Start Silovs and let's show the Oilers what being a Canuck means.

Let's go CANUCKS!!!

They have to have a good first shift in the next game.

This was the case in game 3 and it got them going.

Forwards have to help the D, we all know our big guys in the back aren’t fast where is the help?

Terrible performance overall.

Silovs let in a stinker but overall I don’t think you can blame him. And no way they throw Demko in cold for a game 7.

In Ryan S Clark we trust.

 

[SelltheTeamFrancesco]

On to game 7 on Monday night. Let’s gooo.

 

[Ozone]

 

[TruGr1t]

Hughes, Miller, Boeser, Hronek all shit.

 

[Donuts]

Silovs got tired of carrying so many passengers

 

[Killer Orcas]

Oh well they can't be worse Monday. They definitely getting their playoff experience this year. Get it together and play your game Monday boys all will be forgiven then.

 

[EpochLink]

Ryan S. Clark, you are up buddy with your prediction.

Anyways, burn this game tape and play better at home for game 7.

 

[aquaweenie]

Canucks in 7

 

[Flik]

LOL

Onto the next. Game 7!!!!!!!!

 

[Bonham]

Forget about it and focus on the next one.

Single game at home to decide it. Everybody better come to play.

Silovs has done as good a job as possible, but I am hoping Demko can backstop this one. It is all meaningless if the Canucks' best players don't show up.

Oilers played amazing on the forecheck, backcheck, and on defense. Dominated in transition and kept absolutely everything to the perimeter. Probably their best game of the season when they needed it

Yeah they were full marks tonight. Kudos to them.

 

[EpochLink]

Post Tocchet’s presser, he should be fuming

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

No positives here. I’d give Silovs a pass for battling all game, but there’s 1 or 2 I’m sure he’d like back - not that it would have made a difference.

The loss is one thing, that effort was another. Oilers came out playing like their life depended on it, and we just looked flat - huge opportunity staring us in the face and we failed to grab it.

Hope we can reload and prepare for Game 7. We need to play like our lives are on the line, because they will be.

I predicted Canucks in 7. I still believe we can do it - but if we come out and play like that in Game 7, we’ll be lucky to keep the score under double digits. Regroup, summon your pride, and play an actual hockey game, please.

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

Just depressed as hell.

If we had come out blazing hot but got denied by hot goaltending and posts...okay fine, shit happens. But seeing the team being unable to make basic plays and generate next to nothing with your best guys showing fatigue...You sort of get that sinking feeling in the gut.

That's why 2011 hurt. There was nothing left in the tank and it was evident.

 

[MikeK]

Bad game. Very bad game.

 

[Tact]

Rough game, not many positives at all.

Let’s bounce back for game 7 and win this series.

 

[The Optimist]

Positives: reffing wasn't the story. PK was good.
Negatives: Everything else.

 

[Kryten]

Cant blame anyone but themselves. No one really showed up tonight to score, hit, anything. Hughes was beyond trash other than his one close shot

 

[LordBacon]

Ugly ass game,
Onto game 7

 

[ProviesGhost]

Post Tocchet’s presser, he should be fuming

I bet he's not (I mean he is, but won't show it LOL).

 

[Svencouver]

Hughes, Miller, Boeser, Hronek all shit.

Millers line struggling as much as it did really gave the team no chance of winning. I think the other 3 lines played pretty well all things considered. Hoglander-Lindholm-Pettersson had some good shifts and the only goal, and the bottom 6 played fine. Miller seemed slow, lethargic, and checked out after the first.
