The worst reffing I have seen in a long time. Just brutal. So many missed calls on both sides and an ever changing standard that favoured the Nucks. Suspension better be incoming for that super dirty crosscheck.

You’re becoming my new favourite poster. Lol.

Don't worry, The Deranged Oreo Dolphins are only crossing out names with the word 'Oilers' in it.

The nickname is starting to become their 'Gloria'.

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

I can't believe Ian Cole scored another own goal, that is just comedy in action

Eventually, he'll score the game winner for Vancouver just because that makes the least sense at this point.

 

[Hank Plank]

The Oilers weak link is their 2nd line, 3rd line, and 4th line.

Is that all.

 

[WestCoast CyberG]

Because McDavid skates fast.

…and played minor in Toronto.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

As someone who is rooting for Vancouver, knowing that Pickard is likely starting Game 4, it makes me nervous. Because I know that Pickard (though coming in cold) gives the Oilers the best chance in winning. A career college backup.

Hope Skinner starts because he’s been valuable to the Canucks offense.

 

[Rowlet]

Darryl Sutter always said about the Kings, you are only as strong as your weakest link. Because there were none, and he could roll any line out when holding a lead.

The Oilers weak link is their 2nd line, 3rd line, and 4th line.

We call that the bottom 9

 

[Angry Little Elf]

According to Oilers fans, they have depth though. Some would even make moronic statements about that depth such as Bouchard being a better defenseman than Hughes

Waiting for Corey Perry and Evander Kane to destroy Hughes like oilers fans said they would

 

[Dust]

Im not even trying to start shit but Edmonton really needs to get themselves some depth this post season.

McDrai are gonna die from over exertion at this rate.
Almost 30mins of ice time in one single game is almost near the top of league record since 2005.

Part of the problem is that with Henrique hurt, and Draisaitl not at 100%, they loaded them up on the same line when they haven't been together all year. So instead of 2 guys that can drive their own lines, you just have 1 capable line and nobody else that is a line driver on the other 3. While they are probably more effective together, it's easier to matchup against the Oilers now.

Are we absolutely sure Skinner isn't Dan Cloutier's son?

Hattrick

 

[Video Nasty]

Edmonton will sweep Games 4-6. Good job giving in to a minor slash and going nuclear on McDavid. It’s clear the Oilers are in their heads. I expect them to lay waste to the Canucks the next game.

 

[Bertuzzzi44]

Oilers came out flat in the 1st, Canucks took a 3-1 lead and cruised for the majority of the game. Can’t get too casual Canucks missed 2 empty netters and allowed the Oilers to come within a goal. McDrai look a little fatigued, they complain so damn much, the Whiner twins.

 

[eviohh26]

Lindholm and Zadorov have been such great additions . Hope we can keep them both next year somehow.

 

[vadim sharifijanov]

Without Quinn Hughes, the Oilers defense is far superior than the Canucks.

conversely, even without demko vancouver’s goaltending is still far superior to edmonton’s

Yes, of course it is pal

 

[Three On Zero]

According to Oilers fans, they have depth though. Some would even make moronic statements about that depth such as Bouchard being a better defenseman than Hughes

They have players like McDavid, Draisaitl and Hyman as legitimate top 6 players. That’s it…. The rest are middling to bottom 6 players

 

[red devil]

Is it time for the $25 million man...Jack Campbell

 

[Rick Rocket]

What the hell were you watching?

 

[Hank Plank]

Can't stand Draisaitl but he had 3 points best player in the world had zero.

 

[JAK]

Cole scores empty netter, then the puck goes in off him and he gets credited with EN GWG

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Then I guess McDavid will be getting a game for that slash too.

you mean after Soucy cross checked him the first time?

It’s funny actually the scummiest play there was Zadorov, you could tell Soucy didn’t mean to hit him in the face and actually looked like he reached down and apologize. Russian Shrek didn’t care though.

 

[TheUnusedCrayon]

Edmonton looked pretty ineffective when not on the PP, no contribution from their depth players, and shaky goaltending.

Can someone remind me why they are considered by many as favourites for the cup?

I watch both teams (Canucks fan first, Oilers second).

This isn't the Oilers A game. They usually feast on teams that panic (hence when the Canucks did it, they got scored on) because their defense tends to pinch down the wall and hold the zone. Canucks are aware of this, but also playing a risky style of handing the puck back over and testing their luck. However, with that said, there's a lot of no-shows from the Oilers. Now a lot of that is on the Canucks as their depth is very defensive oriented, however the Oilers are also not capitalizing on a lot of their chances as well. A lot of missed nets, lots of posts, etc.

Canucks are pulling a Nashville on the Oilers essentially. They're making them look worse than they are despite looking like a weak team. Canucks are lucky that Skinner (who was halfway decent this year in net during the reg season) isn't playing well and the Canucks have returned to form on capitalizing on their chances that they couldn't do at all against Nashville.

Add in some horrible officiating both ways and we have a 2-1 series with the Canucks up. With that said, objectively speaking based on level of play, I personally feel the Canucks should be down 2-1 in the series. I thought the Canucks were better in game 1, but game 2 and 3 Oilers were the better team but them's the bounces as they say.

 

[Pogotheclown]

29min TOI for McDrai, perhaps the rest of the lineup does nothing because they are constantly iced out on the bench?

Must be frustrating. Never having a chance playing in the o-zone.

 

[BoHorvat 53]

Calvin Pickard has literally never started a playoff game in his life, has a career .904 save percentage and Oilers fans are clamoring for him to start lmao they are so f***ed.
