What? It's the same thing as someone saying "Haha the Laughs are terrible" maybe. But otherwise you couldn't have missed the mark more if you tried.

I was comparing it to the repetitiveness

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Not Oilers fans complaining about dirty plays when they have guys slew-footing and slashing players in the groin. The Canucks are just getting even.

Not Canucks fans whining about officiating when they have a top 5 penalty differential this season

 

[BoHorvat 53]

Vancouver’s getting .930 playoff goaltending from some guy they found wandering the streets of Riga, might as well see if we can catch lightning in a bottle with Pickard.

Canucks goalie prospect Arturs Silovs named IIHF World Championship MVP

After a dominant tournament that helped to lead host country Latvia to their first-ever IIHF medal, Canucks goaltending prospect Arturs Silovs will take home more than just a bronze — he'll take home tournament MVP, too.

Google him buddy. We've always considered him a legit prospect. Looking forward to Calvin Pickard/Stuart Skinner/Jack Campbell next game though!

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.

Ok Ryan Whitney

Has anyone considered that every Oilers goalie in the playoffs soils the bed because they lack team commitment to defense?

Yes. I always look at the team infront before I just jump all over a goalie. A bad defense can make any goalie look bad. A good defense can make a goalie look great.

Avs are prime example of this. They were playing crappy defense at times during the regular season and Georgiev was being blamed. Post season started and Avs have done a 180 on defense. Much better team in front of Georgiev and he is playing way way better.

 

[Angry Little Elf]

tbf, I think any oilers goaltender would look bad behind that defence.

 

[Dust]

The thing is, the Canucks can play better.

We've seen both teams play significantly better, I just wouldn't count on everyone getting healthy magically and returning to that level. The longer we go i the playoffs the more banged up teams get.

 

[thaman8765678]

I also feel like a huge problem is the ego of the Oilers star players. I may be reading too much into this, but every playoffs their stars seem to demand playing on the same line. No matter who the coach is.

Look at the lines the Penguins rolled with. Why can't McDavid or Draisatl carry their own line? Why does McDavid need the next best 2 players on his wings?

Imagine if you had McDavid 1st line, Draisatl 2nd and Hyman 3rd? Spread the wealth around. Although, they would get less individual points that way.

It just seems the Canucks players have less egos on them. Lindholm is fine playing on the 3rd line. Petterson and Boeser don't need to be paired together.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

I don’t blame oiler fans for hating on Zadorov. Coward isn’t the right word here tho, Zadorov isn’t afraid of anyone on the oilers. Tough guy Kane has been ducking him all series.

Kane doesn’t really fight anymore since Fat Maroon tried to remove his hand from his body. No excuse for the rest of this roster though. If Zadorov doesn’t get held accountable for that horseshit then we deserve to lose.

.930? Last I checked he was a bit above .900

 

[thebigbea]

Ian cole is the mvp in this series. Is this like the 4th goal he scored or involve in the scoring on his own team

 

[NailsHoglander]

Gotta love seeing McDavid get what he deserves at the end of game 3

 

[syz]

Yep. Personally I think they've been horrific and both ways in all of the games but they favored the Oil in games 1 and 2, and then the Canucks got the benefit in game 3.

It's league-wide, too. Thought the Bruins/Panthers game tonight was also awful.

 

[JAK]

In his defense, he's keeping the games tighter and more interesting

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Tonight specifically, he was pretty mediocre the first two games.

 

[notsocommonsense]

Fair comment. We’ll see if anyone steps up next game

Brock Boeser point blank 5 times and it’s the goalies fault lol.

 

[Bizzare]

Who is going to do it? Nurse?

What does held accountable mean? Suspended? I mean you guys got away with driving our star player head 1st , And a dirty dirty cup check on Hogs.

I can hear Don Cherry right now saying what he use to say about Crosby. You dont wanna get hurt then stay away from the after whistle stuff. 2 hand baseball bat slash is going to get a response.

 

[Rick Rocket]

Tbh he cant be worse than Skinner

That's a jinx

Whoa whoa brah, there is only one deranged team here and it’s got Oreos and Dolphins.

 

[Dust]

I know the bar isn't set very high but I thought officiating tonight was better than the first 2. With maybe the exceptions of the cross checking penalties which they decided they would start calling at the end of the 2nd start of the 3rd after letting about 100 of them go both ways before that.

this guys stick has always had a mind of its own, just ask carolina fans..

 

[BoHorvat 53]

Spoiler alert: No one will. Zadorov was trying to pick a fight with anyone who wanted to last game and every single time, he was getting ducked.
