Line 1 needs to get it going. They get the hard match assignments not helped by refs letting Miller waterski on McDavid.
Not an excuse. Drai line is getting that too. Constantly held. Shake it off. As a 5 man unit that is best in the world there is no excuse for how ordinary topline has been for two games now. Get it done. So frustrating because of the margin and every goal being huge.

Perry is so indescribably bad on ice. He can't even skate. He takes ages to cover the point on the Nucks goal. He's not doing a thing, AND he's costing us. Just awful. he can't even play.
I don’t think he saw the ice again after that play. Maybe he’s done for the night. We can shorten the bench for two periods

He’s so slow… and doesn’t even do the greasy stuff because by the time he gets there the whistle has blown and both teams are already back to the bench

Really? This is what you came up with after period 1? If skinner was in net it’s probably 4-2 Vancouver!
You guys are amazing. Chasing a 25 year old goalie who is going to be a great goalie out of town. Singing the oraises of Helleybuck, Ullmark, etc. That were brutal in the playoffs as well.

Last night Ottinger had an 850%

McDavid really needs to show something. He doesn’t seem to be able to fight through anything. And he’s passing too much again. Take some shots

It does seem like we need Perry to keep being bad to truly justify taking his playoff pedigree out of the lineup. He has a great personality and any coach probably sees him as a valuable x factor.

Subbing him out may be part of our final evolution to winning the cup

They need to be better. Period. This isn't a McDavid v Draisaitl thang. It's an Oilers v Canucks thing.

Skinner has played 20 playoff games and has some of the worst stats in the modern era. Hes had his chance, time to see what Pickard can do, we know what Skinner can do…

This poster is straight up trolling in every post. Or actually thinks these are sound arguments. I'm not sure which is worse. lol

Mains are a tire fire.
Must be nice to be able to interfere and cross check with impunity. I guess Bettman ripped those pages out of the rule book this morning for the Canucks.
sooo frustrating considering when you watch other series like the rangers. They get a Pp for a crosscheck half as bad.

Get a Centre like bjugstad between him and Janmark. Killer 4th line.

It's our third line that is causing so much problems.

Our 3rd line woes aren't even due to the centre.

McLeod is very blah. Exessively blah if you will. But he's sound defensively and isn't completely lost in the dot. He's also got some puck skill and lots of speed to burn. His lack of hitting and forecheck is aggervating and needs to be improved sooner rather than later. But pound for pound, it's tough to find a better 3C at his price point especially one with potential future upside.

Foegele has been completely lost, asleep at the wheel even during these playoffs. He needs to take a page out of Holloway's book and just become a fiery ball of hate. Hit, forecheck, muck it up, at least if you're not contributing on the scoresheet you're at least helping maintain momentum and create space for those who are doing something.

The game has passed Perry by. He can still do a bit in limited minutes but Vancouver's speed is frying him like he's a frozen fish stick. He's still being irritating and playing that worm role, but his inability to actually play the game instead of the game within the game is making a lot of us question his relevancy.
