I remember the sentiment being that Canucks were complaining and making excuses about the reffing before the series even start. Seems like the shoe was on the other foot.

 

[nuxnux1]

Look I’m not saying the Canucks are winning this after 1 game but man the amount of copium in here is insane.

 

[thefutures]

4 goals on 18 shots. I thought they had some cutting edge offense not this unsustainable trash

 

[nuxnux1]

Either team is getting smoked next round whether they play Dallas or Colorado.

Zzz Canucks and oilers have a chance vs both, get outta here

is this gonna be said after every game?

 

[oilers4life5]

So are the Canuck’s going to be able to freely waterski off McDavid all series?

 

[User1996]

Started off thinking I was cheering for the Oilers so the Canucks pick wouldn’t slide. Then I realized just how much I enjoy the Oilers losing (much less losing in embarrassing fashion).

Go Canucks

Vancouver honestly has a crap ton of resilience and they winning w/o EP40 being great

damn

 

[CycloneSweep]

Canucks thinking Bouchard was our worse defender when it was Nurse all along

 

[jackjohnson]

the bottom 6 of Vancouver will definitely not take over this series lol

The bottom 6 of Vancouver not only shut down McBaby, but scored 3 times including the GWG Joshua-lindholm-Garland line is basically a 1st line.

Nurse is being paid almost 10M to be the Oilers worst player lol.

They basically have 3 1st lines.

He’s going to destroy the Canucks though.

Has not destroyed the Canucks in the last 5 games tho

 

[tfwnogf]

damn the nucks have shellshocked the oilers in the first regular season game and now the first game of the series.

 

[Zaddy91]

Ian Cole was cursed that game. Glad we recovered.

 

[MikeK]

They basically have 3 1st lines.

I wouldn't go that far. But they're certainly a deep team and It's surprising so many Oilers fans aren't giving them credit. Top to bottom this Vancouver team can all play in any role. They assembled a good team in Vancouver.

 

[triggrman]

How many comebacks for the Nucks is that now?

Now everyone sees why Nashville tried to slow the games down. That offense can score in a hurry.

 

[Osakahaus]

They basically have 3 1st lines.

Canucks basically are running two third lines who are a handful. Lindholm has been excellent come playoff time and I would hope the Canucks keep him around. Zadorov however, he's been a very good player. Easily the best defenseman for the Canucks during the playoffs.

 

[josra33]

Lol statistically?? Only reason is because oilers stopped shotting the puck. Other wise silvos would have had well over .800 on the night. Couple of his goals were tipped in past him. Canucks got 4 passed Skinner while shooting from the fking goalliine

Technically he’s not wrong. .792% is better than .778%

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Like I said before the series started this Canucks’ group is a resilient group that never gives up. They’ve been counted out all season and were counted out again when they lost their Vezina finalist goalie. Almost all the experts predicted an easy Oiler victory.

I predicted a close series likely going 7 games and I’m sticking with it.

The third line has been the best in the league and is the Canucks biggest advantage and they came through again last night with 3 goals. JT Miller was a beast against McDavid. EP showed some life but they need to get him scoring to win this.

Best game of the playoffs so far! Should be an amazing series.

I think if Canucks had gotten Toffoli or some good wingers fot petersson, they would definitely have 3 1st lines imo. Miller, Petersson (when he is awake) and Lindholm is tough to match by most teams in the league including Oilers. Lindholm can very well go agsinst McDavid line and shut him down or play against the 3rd pairing of Oilers and score a ton.

2 3rd lines?? Name me the 3rd lines? One is the blueger line, the other? Lindholm line scored 3 and Lindholm is like 70% in faceoffs, that aint 3rd line material. Miller line?? Petersson line?

 

[nbwingsfan]

I really want to see McDavid win a cup but I just can’t see if with Skinner as their starter. So prone to bad goals

 

[Cup or Bust]

If Oilers are going to try their backup Pickard, do it for game 2 to test him him asap. If he does well, keep using him. If he stinks go with Skinner the rest.

Sadly the Oilers likely would have won last night if Pickard was in net. I am not saying Pickard is better but he seems to make less unforced errors then Skinner. Skinner just regularly makes weak mistakes. Even Skinner won't be that awful every game though.

The crazy highs and lows of the playoffs.

Surely you have receipts to back this up?

 

[Bobby9]

Oilers should think about dropping RNH down to the third line C and matching him up w Van 3rd line.
