Higher danger chances were 7 to 6 for the Oilers.

Not sure if that includes posts though.

High danger chances were 17-9 for the Oilers and expected goals were 4.8 to 1.8 for the Oilers.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

And they had 1 high danger chance in the third, Canucks sat back but did a good job defending.

Not to mention that Ian Cole has been the Oilers best goal scorer this series

You’re reading that backwards, Edmonton had 6, Canucks had 1

 

[jackjohnson]

Pretty sure you can say that about every team.

Well Canucks arr without 2 key players, Demko and Pettersson. They are still beating the Oilers.

 

[22Brad Park]

It is a joke that TSN hyped Oilers as a contender. Hilarious. You take two key players off that team and you`ll see lottery team.

They get any goaltending at all they could be tough combined with that powerplay.Need to manage players mins better though.

Last I checked the goalie is part of the team.

yeah, this argument has been used for years. "Your team wouldn't be as good as our team if you didn't have Luongo...!" Etc...

Skinner is bad, Silovs was very good tonight, and Demko is elite. It's a pretty sweet luxury to have a third liner winning a game, knowing that the Vezina candidate is on his way back. Not sure how I'd feel if I was a fan of a team with a Skinner in net and only a Capt Jean Luc Pickard and Campbell Soup waiting in the wings.

I thought Kane and Perry were supposed to terrorize Hughes though...

They can't catch him.

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

They've been division rivals forever, there's always been a rivalry.

Yeah no doubt, just finally being lit ablaze.

Shame we couldn't get you Tanev as well.

You guys wanted to cover your bases -- either help the Canucks or help Dallas re-live the late 90s vs. Dallas. It's like a double Reinhart. I get it.

 

[RobertKron]

Soucy told McDavid that the Mall of America is larger by total square footage, and he fainted.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Is Skinner really to blame tonight? I mean we legit have a AHL goal tender so there is that.

And he was a hell of a lot better than Skinner was. What’d he have, a .750?

 

[ziploc]

Well Canucks arr without 2 key players, Demko and Pettersson. They are still beating the Oilers.

EP's continued disappearing act is seriously concerning. They are winning without him, but that does not seem sustainable at all.

 

[M2Beezy]

With average AHL goaltending Edmonton’s up 2-1, don’t kid yourself. Shots were 36-7 oilers after the first. Silovs did an incredible job but the Canucks weren’t the better team tonight.

Better team? Canucks won, and deserved it. Better team better depth, played thru the lineup and didnt rely on 2 star forwards. Maybe works for Edmonton sometimes, but failed again tonight. Will they find a smarter strategy for the rest of the series or do they continue this pattern and bow out, once again? Big decisions for the Edmonton coaching crew on how to move forward here down in the series 2 games to 1.

High danger chances were 17-9 for the Oilers and expected goals were 4.8 to 1.8 for the Oilers.

On what blue planet did Oilers generate 17 high danger chances that game? Most of their shots were from the goal line lol.

Where are you getting your stats?

Kane and old man Perry couldnt terrorize a kitten

 

[Bizzare]

High danger chances were 17-9 for the Oilers and expected goals were 4.8 to 1.8 for the Oilers.

If you include all strengths, 5 on 5 was 7-6

 

[Hank Plank]

FAFO

 

[eviohh26]

I will be shocked if Silovs ever plays another AHL game

I'm not sure what the route is for him. He is good enough to back up Demko. But they might want to get him regular gameplay. AHL would be good to get him ready for a full schedule and define his game. Could also save money letting DeSmith walk . I'm honestly not sure .

 

[PavelBure10]

They've been division rivals forever, there's always been a rivalry.

True, but Canucks fans had nothing to hate as of late other than Benning.

The West Coast rivalries are a dying breed. Edmonton/Calgary might be still going strong, but the Canucks currently have no enemies.

7-6 for 5on5, where most of the game is played

 

[AwesomeInTheory]

Oilers organization will drive him out of Edmonton. He wont have any energy left but keep playing him 40 minutes a game Edmonton.

Or he'll be too tired he won't be able to leave anywhere.

 

[logan5]

Oiler fans need to stop hating on Skinner. This is a 2.6 million dollar goaltender, so you put all the blame on Oilers management for not getting a true starting goaltender.

 

[oilers4life5]

Nucks are 11-1 with that ref? Shocking.
