Have to keep pouring it on here. No let up--twenty minutes to go so no defensive lapses and stay on the forecheck.

Canucks will have to gamble a bit here so take advantage.

I f***in said YEARS ago that diving is the new meta in the NHL. Could have seen this coming from a mile away when the League let the Avs dive their way to a Cup.

The refs in this league are f***in stupid. If you ain’t diving to fool them, you aren’t doing everything you can to win in Bettman’s league. Simple as that. It’s not about honor of the players, it’s about the incompetence of the league officiating.

 

[McOilers97]

Bieksa has good analysis

As much as I hated him as a player, I like him as an analyst!

 

[Arty Spooners Bsmnt]

We need more goals. 3 goals won't win it with Skinner in net.

 

[Pavel10]

Huge kill coming up.

 

[NedPlimpton]

Could really use one of them patented third period dominations tonight.

 

[oobga]

Miller's dive was the worst of the night. Might not have had time to add to Gazdic's highlight pack

 

[Messrules11]

Gazdic is right the flopping these days is unbearable. These punks would never last in the helmetless days.

 

[BIeucheeseWithWings]

Bieksa, you were teammates with the Sedins and Burrows.

 

[MoontoScott]

Miller has always been an 8+ score diver.

 

[DrDrai]

Hymans dive was bad, but they all suck.

 

[McOilers97]

That highlight of McDavid passing the puck into skates when he’s 3 feet from the net is awful.

 

[DrDrai]

Bieksa, you were teammates with the Sedins and Burrows.

He said behind closed doors he told guys to stop it.

To me it was good analysis.

 

[TheNumber4]

Bieksa, you were teammates with the Sedins and Burrows.

Lol.

Agree
But it's not the refs. At least not fully. It's mandated from above

NHL rewards divers... Avs know it (and won a cup doing it)... Canucks know it... doesn't hurt if the Oilers join the club as well.

Nice guys finish last in this league.

 

[Ibanez]

Ok kiddo is in bed. Can tune in for the third. Let’s go get this. More bouch bombs please

 

[Oilking83]

First and foremost big 48 sec to kill the penalty then big 5 mins. Do NOT let them get momentum or score. Boys will need to play a very mature third to close it out. Would love another goal but you SHOULD be able to win 3-1. I’m anxious lol

 

[29Beast97Mode]

Nerves

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

3rd game in this series up by 2 going into the third period

the first 2 times then Canucks have tied it....can the Oilers not let that happen?
maybe learn your lesson

 

[foshizzle]

Damn rights, that was labeled

It was a good save. Need him to finish strong

 

[Louis Cypher]

Big save by Skinner on that PP

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Hymans dive was bad, but they all suck.

??

Did he go down and check his visor for blood?

Knob needs to use all 4 lines to do so. McDavid already at 15 mins
