They lost because of Skinner, Nurse and Ceci and because the offense generated 5 shots over the final 40 minutes. That D pair was our chanced 12-1 when matched against Canucks third line.

The transformation to a pumpkin has officially begun.

Canucks : Cole had an uncharacteristic bad game, Silvos is a rookie and a third string goalie, team didn't panic and played to its strengths and plans, head coach says he didn't think the team played that bad after being down 4-1.

Oilers : Nurse sucks as always, Skinner gave up bad goals, team sat back and was dominated for two periods, head coach says he didn't think the team played that bad after blowing a 4-1 lead, and Draisaitl is out due to equipment issues.

If I was the Oilers GM I would have burned down the farm and mortgaged the future to bring a solid netminder to Edmonton. Even Halak would have been better than what they got.

Edmonton has one of the worst rated prospect pools in the league, nothing you can really burn down and trade away. They needed to unload Nuge when his perceived value was high

I thought Draisaitl had cramps? Those are terrible, they come every month, but it does explain why he's so pissy sometimes.

In game 80 Oilers really wanted to beat the Canucks without MacDavid, but they got absolutely manhandled physically. Until they have a response physically against Joshua, Myers, Z, Soucy, they will be in tough by game 6/7.

 

[Zerotonine]

Edmonton didn't deserve to win, vancouver played a better game for probably 45 of the 60 minutes, the only positive to take is despite only playing for 10 minutes they still only lost by a goal. Skinner has always rebounded back nicely after a dud. And that was definitely a dud if I've ever seen one so let's see what happens.

Amd now drai maybe be questionable

 

[Bertuzzzi44]

Canucks Deserved the Win - True

Oilers lost because of Skinner - Not really

(Miller & Zadorov goals were unstoppable, one was a ridiculous tip, the other was a seeing eye 95mph slapshot going through traffic, the Garland one is iffy, looks like an easy save but it’s an elite skill play to open the goalie up and the shot was precise. Regardless the Oilers had no push back with only 1 shot in a 20 minute span, loss is on the team)

 

[HockeyVirus]

Oilers destroy bad teams like LA and the Ducks and look completely outmatched everytime they play an NHL team

This is true.

There was rumors of Bennington going there awhile back. That would have been something. Get a trade done. Trade your 2 years worth of 1sts and 2nds if you have to

If Canucks aren't already in Skinner's head, trading for Bennington isn't going to help, Canucks are most definitely in Bennington's head.

 

[WestCoast CyberG]

What’s the excuse for Connor McNoShow this time?

ZERO shots leading his team to a 3rd period collapse.

He will never lead Edmonton to a cup. Ever.

Yep, not only do they run up the score on Ari/Buf/Ana/Chi/SJ but had an extremely soft schedule as well. They played their first back2back in January (unless you count NJ and NY in Dec).

They didn’t do so well against Van/Tor/Dal/Col.

Cheers

As much as I enjoy the hatred, after watching multiple Canes V Rags games can we all at least agree and unite behind our good fortune of not needing to listen to Harnarayan and Louie call this series?

No way, those guys are awesome. Love Harnarayan's energy and Debrusk is a great color guy, mostly because he knows when to stfu unlike Ferraro and Campbell

Bennington won a cup man. He's a total headcase but he would be a legit #1 goalie for the Oilers

You only get into Binnington's head if you cheap shot and injure him. You're not in his head at that point, you're on his radar and he's going to snap on you. Binny would definitely help carry the Oilers.

Good evening to everyone cheering for the Canucks in this series. What a lovely day today was, didn’t have to listen to Oiler fans gloat.

It really was a wonderul evening. The entire main board benefits when the Oilers are in coil mode.

 

[winnipegger]

Game 1 was a fluke edmonton will win the next 4.

 

[jackjohnson]

Funny, I remember saying that for days and Oilers fans telling me how wrong I was, that we stunk, and would continue to stink, that we wouldn't score goals and would get swept.

Yeppp funny how that works......

Dont blame Oilers fans, even the so called experts were saying the same dumb things yet not accounting on how Nashville was playing defense, basically parking the bus as they would say in soccer

 

[TropicOfNoReturn]

Skinner is so bad

Right? I can't believe he's played 1000 NHL games without reaching the playoffs once.

 

[BertMcDrai]

With Drai likely being hurt and out for Game 2, this could get ugly pretty quick...after he was out in Game 1 and came back hurt the hole team collapsed... hopefully someone can step up but that's just wishful thinking.

Can’t afford to get overconfident. We were the better team in game 1 but still could easily have lost the game.

Big chance to put Edmonton under enormous pressure. They were already under the weight of huge expectation and Skinner looks vulnerable.

Everyone ragging on skinner I don’t get. The zadarov and miller were both perfect shots. I can put him at fault for the garland one but it was a nice play by garland to fake first to get skinner to open up

Welcome back

Big game from Skinner in game 2! Only let in one goal from the goal line (instead of 4) and didn't score on himself at all.

Ian Cole still working on that last part.
