On replay that was actually a really weird shot placement by Brown. Looked like he was aiming high 5 hole. Who aims high 5 hole?

Connor Brown. Gets a 3M bonus next year for it too

 

[Oilslick941611]

No, I will not watch Saving Sakic.

It wasn't good anyway. They spend so much time pumping up sakic and then at the end its like " oh yah we used the stadium to get sakic money"

 

[iCanada]

I think it’s more just that Mr Flames makes no attempt to hide how much he despises Edmonton

Trauma from being lit up by the boys on the bus in LA tbh.

 

[Mr Positive]

No, I will not watch Saving Sakic.

I don't get it either. They make a big deal about the Rangers signing him to that offer sheet. So I guess the Avs finding the money "saved" Sakic? Lol Sakic signed that offer sheet to ditch the Avs for New York. Also, who cares?

 

[soothsayer]

Nah. the longer it stays 0-0 the more chance Nucks something stupid out of this.

Wouldn't count on the bolded either.

We're dominating the game and need to get something for that. You know Nucks will play for 10mins in 3rd period. lol

I get what you're saying. But this was likely going to be a close game. The Oilers have outplayed Vancouver by a lot, and the Oilers clearly have another gear. Anything can happen, but I am more comfortable in the Oilers' chance of winning now than I was before the start of the game. Shilov doesn't look that good too (neither does Skinner).

 

[rickysusedsht]

Didn't know cbc stands for canucks broadcast company...give it a rest already

 

[MoontoScott]

Time to ride Draisaitl and McDavid. Only played 5 minutes each that period.

Why not? It's now or never but what the Oilers really need right now is better finish on the chances.

 

[TheNumber4]

He was definitely going under the arm, but Silovs is actually decent and didn't automatically butterfly.

That’s what I thought initially. Aim must have been all off. Hit top of the pads area very centered.

 

[BlackDogg]

"Don't shoot the puck to where the goalie will be. Shoot it to where the goalie is now"

Connor Brown

 

[tiger_80]

I think all of that plays in Edmonton's favour. If things stay this way, the Canucks' only hope is that Skinner gives up a muffin. That's a shit strategy for game 7 in the playoffs. Canucks can't even get a shot on the PP. The Oilers are going to get a powerplay. If they score on it, it's all over for Vancouver as long as the D continue to insulate Skinner.

A PP now would help a lot.

On replay that was actually a really weird shot placement by Brown. Looked like he was aiming high 5 hole. Who aims high 5 hole?

Brown! lol. Just go high, stupid.

 

[Drivesaitl]

No, I will not watch Saving Sakic.

For real. Like who the f*** cares? Lets make a series about Joe Sakic. Like seriously. Whats the audience for that?

I'll be saving my time instead.

Whats next, Drawing with Drew Doughty?

pass

 

[jesusbuiltmyhotrod]

Time for 97 to take over

 

[iCanada]

I know a 4 min pp to finish the period but Drai only 4 mins of ice time, Mcdavid 5 mins

Going to have to get those guys a lot more ice time in the last 2 periods

I think it's good to keep their minutes low until things get tighter. Particularly when the bottom 6 is playing well.

 

[McDrai]

You said they're straight garbage. I said that they've played well this game. Your response to my comment regarding their play this game is that there are no tangible results. No one has any tangible results this game, so by your reasoning, they must all be garbage.

The whole team is playing really well, so it's just weird to take time from watching a good game to call a line that is playing well "straight garbage".

They were caved for close to a minute in one of their shifts and McLeod took a stupid high sticking penalty which resulted in a 4 minute power play for Vancouver which could have crippled us. If you think the McLeod line has been exceptional in this game then I’m not sure what to tell you

 

[tiger_80]

Why not? It's now or never but what the Oilers really need right now is better finish on the chances.

BEcause of a long PK.

 

[RattsSSV]

There's 2. Good job boys.

 

[GrumpyKoala]

Connor Brown. Gets a 3M bonus next year for it too

Definitely was aiming 5 hole.
It's harder to shot hard and not elevate the puck to much than what he did.

 

[TheNumber4]

Cmon boys. Huge 2nd. Take this game over.

 

[The Nuge]

On replay that was actually a really weird shot placement by Brown. Looked like he was aiming high 5 hole. Who aims high 5 hole?

I think the book on Silovs is go five hole on a breakaway, and he just elevated it by accident

 

[Ritchie Valens]

Big, big kill

 

[BlackDogg]

I'd bet money the Oilers don't get a PP

 

[nabob]

f*** sakes. We aren’t getting a Pp at all.

 

[BoldNewLettuce]

rip their balls out.......Derrick

Anything can happen, but I am more comfortable in the Oilers' chance of winning now than I was before the start of the game. Shilov doesn't look that good too (neither does Skinner).

The issue is, if you don’t score in your outplaying time, your chances of winning drop.

 

[The Nuge]

Ryan’s like so we’re not calling high sticks now?
