The Day After: Edmonton Oilers 3, Vancouver Canucks 4 Discussion | VAN LEADS 2-1
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 май 2024
- In today's Day After Episode I discuss the Edmonton Oilers 4-3 loss on home ice to the Vancouver Canucks in game 3. The #oilers fall behind 2-1 in the series despite outshooting the #canucks 45-18 in the game. Stuart Skinner was abysmal, Nurse-Ceci are completely unplayable, and Connor McDavid was held pointless. McDavid also took a hard cross-check to the face from Carson Soucy but the response on the ice by the Oilers players was lacking in my opinion. That is concerning. The Oilers need more from the rest of the lineup or else this series will be over in 5 games. There's a lot to talk about so sit back, relax, grab a snack and let's get into it. #nhl

Hey Austin, just a heads up that I have started a rivalry with you on my twitch channel (same name). I picked you randomly, and the majority of my audience has sided with you, citing your fair and balanced coverage and kind disposition. So you have new fans. But also a serious rival, me.
I just checked your channel out on Twitch, saw the reaction video put together of me falling into darkness when the Oilers blew their 4-1 lead in game 1, bro I was in stitches that was great 😂 🤝 GGs, looking forward to putting out some kind of response!
Magic happens for the Oilers when Ian Cole is standing in front of the Canucks net. 3 goals, 3 assists and took 2 key penalties. He's the Oiler's true x-factor
I’d say it’s Chris Rooney. Vancouver is 11-0 under his reffing and hasn’t lost a game in 3 seasons with him reffing. Time for NHL to open an investigation.
@Simran-sl9lx you do realize the league has been very hard on the canucks for penalties, because of the fans in Vancouver having riots its a big black eye on the nhl , and they will do what it takes to make sure they do not get near the finals
@@Simran-sl9lx Take a look at the Canucks record when Kelly Sutherland is reffing. Maybe the Oilers should petition the league to have him ref the rest of this series? There were bad calls and missed calls going both ways this entire series. Don't start crying now about the refs. I'm sure you blasted Canucks fans who complained after game 2, didn't you? Let me guess, you were the one Oilers fan who said "yeah, the ref missed those nasty penalties by the Oilers"?
As a Canucks fan, I just want to say I really enjoy your calm demeanour even after a loss. So many fans online, both sides, are borderline unhinged and trolls, but you are providing a great service, even for someone like me supporting your opponent. Thank you.
Canucks fan here, appreciate your leveled headed unbiased approach. The ian cole comment is hilariously true 😂 😂 😂 Obviously i hope canucks win but ill be following the oilers if they win. Just want Canada to get a cup... Again after so long.
As a Canucks fan, thank you for giving us props and respecting. There aren’t many Oilers fans doing this. Appreciate you
There’s lots of fans giving respect and props. I’ve been trying to do that in comments all over… the problem is the “toxic” elements of both fan bases come out in droves during times like this, and they all tend to be squeaky wheel bullies… it’s very hard to stay level headed when chatting with people like that..
Best of luck to your Canucks though.. if you guys make it to the next round, I hope that they are still endowed with the “comeback” effect… stars and Avs both look scary…
The toxic parts are the minority but also the loudest.
As a Canucks fan, I don't care if Oilers' fans give props -- it's irrelevant. The Oilers are McDavid and Draisaitl, and even with them playing their best and HALF the game, they are down 2-1. As their top players tire late in the series, this series is looking good for Vancouver.
Exactly.I'm so tired of the generic Oiler fans response of "I have seen my team raise the cup 5 times in my life, what about you?".... The usual reply I get from most Only Fans, er uh , I mean Oilers Fans lol
@jvh818 sorry bud this isn't your year. As much as I like the oilers it isn't ours either. If yall do win the cup feel free to clown on me then
Die hard Canucks fan this is the best take I have seen on this series. Better then any main stream takes I have seen. Throwing you a like and sub.
Best of luck Oilers fans I really think the Oilers need to give the bottom 9 more minutes and give them a chance to get into this series. Playing the legs off mcdaivd and Leon will come
Back to bite them late in this series.
Thanks for a great take on the series. I'm a Canuck fan, but love your vid's!
One thing that stands out to me is the 30 minutes played by the top Edmonton players in game 3. I know those guys are great,but 30 minutes!?!? There’s no way those kinds of minutes are going to turn out well for Edmonton.
their coach is getting played big time....the ice time's he's doling out so early in the series, show he's desperate.
Oilers are essentially a two line team , One power line when you have the power play line rolling out every w
2 minutes during the course of he game sheesh
If this Series goes past six games with these kind of minutes it's a lock for the canucks. McDavid and Draisaitl will be burnt out by the end of game 6. And if somehow they do win this series they'll be quickly out in the conference final.
I was looking at that too and I don't think thats sustainable at all. I'd be surprised if they can handle those minutes by game 5. The longer this series go, the worse chance the Oilers have.
Yes,bye game 7..if they keep playing the minutes that they have been...they will end up being a liability on the ice..lmfao
Canucks fan here. Its wonderful to see an oilers fan with an intelligent and realistic view on this series. Great show and much respect to you . Definitely going to fallow your channel. Good luck the rest of the way. No matter who wins the series i wantvthe cup back in Canada. Take it easy cheers 🍻
If Soucy gets suspended then they should go back and look at the slewfoots on Hughes the spear to the groin on Hoglander the highstick on Hughes by McPouty.
100! that spear was intent to injure
In that case why not go back to last year? Start suspending players from 3 years ago. Soucy was intent to injure, and your clever little insults towards the league's best player is childish and cringey
@michaelkeller5927 intent to injure? What do you call a spear to the groin, low I.q. oiler fans should stay off the comment section.
@@michaelkeller5927thanks for calling me clever.
@@michaelkeller5927 and accurate
Van fan here. I actually enjoy your show, been watching it since the start of the series. Balanced and fair good job!
Wow, very well spoken. Great channel brotha! Very well done. Go Canucks go!
Canucks fan here, don't be hesitant to say the Oilers have the better offensive weapons (McDavid and drai) we know they are on a different level. It sucks Holland hasn't built enough depth, defence and goaltending to support McDavid at this point. Right now I can't see how edm can beat a team like Dallas that has even more depth than van. Deff time to get a new GM to get McDavid a cup.
Keep playing them 30 minutes a game. Even if they manage to win the series they will so gassed against either the Stars or Avalanche in the next series that they will get steamrolled.
Thank you for kind words. Appreciate it.
This was a very fair, very unbiased assessment of this series so respect for that
finally. an oiler fan that actually knows hockey
Why did Edmonton think it’ll be a walk in the park when you guys already had issues with the goalie and defence. It’s not the first rodeo
This guy is actually fair and balanced. Incredible. Good job
This is why I love watching Austin. He is amazing human being. Always Fair kind towards everyone not just the Oilers. Will follow you forever.
I knew oilers had nice fans somewhere. How refreshing
*Randomly stumbled on your channel. Canuck fan here, but enjoyed your content and hearing some thoughts from an Oiler perspective about their own team.*
Who’s gonna send the message? Kane? Don’t slash after the buzzer and no McMuffin sandwich would have been delivered
The Oilers have what the Maple Leafs have: high end talent getting high end $$$$$, leaving no $$$ for 3rd, 4th line and goal.
We’re basically the western leafs.
This guy gets it Nurse and Ceci are the worse defensive duo in the league
For the first time in 40 years, I turned the TV off. Totally disappointed in the effort of goal tending and lines 3 and 4.
100% agree the move starts with putting skinner on the bench.
Get ready to turn off the TV in game 4 too
Get ready to turn off the tv til September
How are lines 3 and 4 supposed to put in effort? They never get a chance to play!
@jotaux3652 there's a reason why they didn't play.
Oilers are a formidable opponent and could go really far. Amazing series so far and hope it goes to game 7. Thanks for your balanced take here.
Nice to see an oilers based channel speaking truths. Thank you. 🙏 😊
I am a Canucks fan. Believe me, no Canucks fan with any clue about hockey feels comfortable with the wins they have gotten so far. It could easily be 3 - 0 Oilers right now. The last 30 minutes of the game last night were brutal. They were hanging on for dear life. There is no way they can play like that again and have a prayer in winning this series.
Nuck fan coming in peace. I mentioned it on your other vids before. You actually watch the games, pay attention to the meta data, and understand the game within the game. Kudos for that. I predicted Nucks in 7. Not because of homerism but objectively I would be more comfortable going into a series with balance rather than superior top end talent. As for a possible Soucy suspension, not going to happen. The league would have to do some major mental gymnastics to justify it. If they suspend Soucy, they have to look at McD as well as Z. Not to mention they would be setting a f'd up precedent, which would spillover to all the other series.
As a Canucks fan I appreciate your unbiased look at the games. As far as a suspension for Soucy I can’t see that happening because of the Marchand Punch. I would like to bring up that NcDavid is no angel out there. He is always doing dirty stuff with his stick that goes unnoticed all the time. Even on the play you referenced he did a wicked slash first. What I’m trying to say is McDavid brings these things on to himself with his dirty play. Case in point high stick on Hughes game 2.
Also nothing was called by the Refs game 2 on Kane for a Slew Foot(Actually 2 that game) Were in the playoffs and a lot of dirty stuff goes on both sides. If they do suspend Soucy it will make the NHL look bias towards one team. I think we both know who the league really wants to get through and that would be the Oilers. Case in point having Kelly Sutherland ref game 2. That guy has a history with the Canucks and it’s not good. Keep up the great work!
Nice take on the game. Canuck fan. Thumb up and subscribed.
How does Edmonton hope to win of they can only score with a man advantage
Respect for this channel, from Vancouver.
The whole ref discussion has been around since the dawn of hockey. It is a part of the playoffs to me. This is playoff hockey, shit happens. It's the team that doesn't let it let them crumble that comes out on top. We learned that back in 2011 losing to the Bruins. Refs were atrocious but our Canucks let the Bruins beat them down. There have have been an insane amount of missed calls on both sides so it is even in that regards. As a Canucks fan I am glad we have gotten away with them at the very least because the Oiler's powerplay is CRACKED!
Ian Cole has helped given the Oilers a chance to win in every game so far. Ian Cole for Oilers MVP!!😂
Yay Cole 😂😂😂😂😂😂
It’s a story all season for the Canucks. They are the PDO merchants for a reason and only shoot when they have a very good chance. Good for you pointing out the high danger chances 8-6. That is a more important stat than the SOG. Thanks for the unbiased review.
It’s impossible to win in the playoffs without average goaltending. Skinner has been atrocious for second year in a row. It’s not because Vancouver is better, 40 plus shots is more than enough. We have a suck goalie, sub 800, and we will waste another year again if he starts again in this playoffs.
Austin is too soft on Skinner. He isn't a major reason they are losing. He is the MAIN reason they are losing. The oilers offence has been better. If they had an average goaltender, they'd be fine. How do you not bolster your goaltending for 2 years when all you have is Skinner, Campbell, and Pickard. Wasting generational talent by neglecting half the game and crossing your fingers and assuming their goaltenders would just improve
First time in this series I chimed into the opponents realm and found your channel. Very articulate in your analysis and even though I'm not as familiar with the team, I've gotta say everything you've said made sense. Love the Simpsons reference. I'd totally take out Cici and replace with Stecher. He stepped it up during the 2020 play in playoffs for VAN. Can definitely give you effective minutes as second pair again. He played with heart and soul. Always plays with Grit. Which seems exactly what you'll need. But Knoblock is not experienced to know what he has in the press box. And he keeps playing those 5 guys to the bone. Our VAN commentator noted the same thing in the 3rd period. It looked as though he's completely frustrated/loss behind the bench. Tocchet implemented the standard plan against a top heavy ie. one line team. He assigned not just one, but two checking line. Miller and Lindholm. What's even better is they're not just checking McDavid & Assoc's, they're countering with goals against. It's absolutely brilliant. Cause even if you assign one checking line ie. Miller (as he did in 1st/2nd game of the season), the other three lines out matches oilers other 3 lines. Look forward to subsequent games video from you.
As a die-hard Canuck, I know we will be facing endless crease rushes next game. I dread the very thought of facing Dallas, but also think it's wrong to look past Edmonton already.
I don't think any real Canucks fan is looking past edm. I don't even think we're looking past game 4. Which I feel is the most important game in the series.
Recent history has faired well with Canucks vs Dallas, seems like a great match compared to Colorado.
@@johnjohnnston3498 Canucks would prob want to face Colorado..... Canucks would have home ice, and Georgiev is basically Skinner 2.0
if the Oilers feel the need to put Drai and McD on the same line to win, then they have no chance at winning the cup. They need 2 lines minimum to be humming, two lines to hold down the fort, you can win a cup. One line, not going to happen.
Agree but you also need a top notch goalie that isn’t a sieve. Edmonton could easily have gone up 3-0 if they got spectacular goaltending from Skinner.
The money puck numbers were not kind to the Canucks last game. Basically Edmonton dominated to a man. However clearly they have much better goaltending and Nurse -Ceci is a glaring weakness. Can Oilers overcome these weaknesses? They will have to make some tough choices.
I agree with you completely! If we don't win the next one at home, it's done with. We don't have a good record on the road.
Oilers in game 2 "he lost control of the stick, not his fault"
Oilers in game 3 "players are always responsible for their sticks, Soucy should be suspended"
I cannot wait for game 4's narrative
source: trust me bro
@@madladder228 source for what? the dizzying spinning of the narrative by Oilers fans? Would you mind reading both the Oilers subreddit and any of the comment sections of game 2 vids here on youtube?
@@M00nDanCR show me that the majority of oilers fans thought that high stick from McDavid didn’t deserve a penalty. Almost everyone agrees oilers got away with one there
and funny you mention reddit as if vancouver fans haven’t been complete cancer on there this series
@@madladder228 I am not defending the Canucks fans here, you are right about that. But the Oilers fans' smug attitude predicting that it will be a sweep and "Oilers in 4" before the series simply makes it even sweeter for the underdog team's fans when they lead the series. I am not defending Soucy either, give him a fine or whatever, but a suspension just because he did not cower before the "generational talent" but rather teaching him a lesson what happens when you slash at somebody would be BS.
Both teams haven't played good for a full 60 minutes
Ummmm….van had 16 shots to Oilers 46, van got a W from the heroics of one player.
@@oldsingingstudentdougbillf1665 Silovs has been the biggest difference maker so far....Soild play for 3 games from Skinner/Oilers makes it 3-0 Edmonton. It works both ways in this series so far. That's why my Comment focused on teams playing good for full 60 min. It hasn't happened yet in the series. Could be 3-0 either team.
It looks like the Oilers are the better team but have been exploited at times by a very good Vancouver Canucks, that know how to win ugly games. Which they have since round 1. The Oilers know how to win ugly games too.
I think Skinner starts next game and will bounce back for an Oilers win is my prediction. The series goes 7. All 1 goal games.
Facing the kings in the first round 3 consecutive years in a row give the oilers a Sense of false confidence..... The la kings made skinner look like a hall of game goalie. In reality he isn't all that good. Gets pulled in game 3 probably won't come back this playoff season
I was thinking you were too negative on the team... But then you talked about ice-time and I disagreed with allocating more ice-time to other lines. Canucks lines 1-4 are sooooo superior to Oilers lines 2-4, so our other lines get feasted on... Then I realized, McDavid and drai are going to be run into the ground with this ice time and there isn't much to do about it...
The weakness in this Oilers team is the depth, they rely so heavily on the top 2 lines. By the end of the game the team is physically spent, so evident the defensive play gets extremely sloppy in the 3rd period.
Which is how Oilers lost all 4 games in the season against Canucks. Therefore, season play DOES indicate playoff strengths and weaknesses.
Entertaining series...could be 3-0 for either team
So Cain will be suspended for multiple slew foots? Or Ryan's spear?
Someone needs to put a missing sign on McLeod and Nuge’s jersey’s, 5x5 every line besides 1 and 4 were completely missing.
In my opinion, I agree with the team supporting their captain statement. I believe the canucks are going harder at McDavid as a result of how the oilers were going after hughes. McDavids stick to his face with the cut and no call and then sending him off the ice, and the slew foot.
Round 2 Game 2 Oilers needed to stack McDrai on the same line to get a win in OT. This team is not going anywhere far. It's painful to watch the game. Might as well wrap this series up early and start to rebuild. I'm just so sad to see this year after year.😢
One thing I find weird is we've only had one line going this series but you want someone to jump in and even take a suspension to stand up for mcdavid.... but think about who's on the ice, imagine this team without Drai, Nuge, Hyman, Bouch, or Ekholm suspended game 4. You can't have one of those players take a stupid suspension. Take a number, get him next game.
I blame Knoblauch for keeping skinner in past the 1st. The guy is completely passive and he’s getting outplayed.
Every goalie goes hot and cold. Can’t fault the guy for sticking with the best player in the playoffs
But you absolutely can. Last year Woodcroft mentioned that the Oilers will get on average 3 goals a game, so if you can hold the other team to 3 or less goals The Oilers have a very high chance of winning that game. The moment Skinner let in a third goal in the first period there is no reason for him coming out in the second. Obviously he’s not going to be the goalie to keep the oilers in it for the rest of the game.
At least if Pics came out then you can say that you tried a solution, even if it didn’t end up working out. Let’s not forget that Skinner did exactly this last year in the second round against Vegas, he has a history you can look at and if management isn’t going to address The Oilers lack of a
Playoff goaltender, then maybe run what we have as a tandem.
No way Knoblauch replaces nurse and ceci, could be an interesting/ needed swap though. I agree, Pickard is the guy, poor Skinner, insane amount of pressure for such a young guy. Gagner needs to happen.
Cole is doing great for the Oilers too woth 3 goals 2 assista
It looked to me soucy was already in the motion to cross check mcdavid but it was the cross check to the back from Zadorov that made mcdavid fall forward into soucys cross check
If any suspension it should be zadorov no ?
At this stage, the results of this series will depend on the Oilers coaching response. If nothing changes, Tocchet will continue to let the Oilers self-destruct and pounce on weak spots and mistakes.
Vancouver in 5, trust me I’m from the future. My condolences
Lol, a tad optimistic. At least game 6. No way Oilers would lose two in a row.
The solution to the Nurse/Ceci issue is simple, and has already been successfully tried - swap the pairings...
Put Nurse with Desharnais, and Ceci with Kulak - and watch the metrics magically improve.
Canucks fan here. How much of the oilers play is die to the coaching?
The ice time may pay dividends as early as game 5. By not playing lines 3 and 4 and expecting them to be fine is also bad coaching. You have to win or lose with the team you have. Dallas and Vancouver very similar.
I know that McDavid is signed long term, but if Edmonton doesn't smarten up, all the money in the world won't prevent bitterness from taking hold. You simply cannot rely on two guys to take the cup home. Shit, even Gretzky had an entire team behind him.
High caliber team too!
McD isn’t long term. 2yrs left on his contract. Leon has 1 yr left on his contract. I don’t think either will resign. Why would they? They have no chance at playing a Stanley Cup game in Edm. Why would they stay?? Bitter cold long winters?? Brutal tax rates??
Canuck fan, McD stick to Hugh’s face, let’s call it even
Is it fair to say that Hughes is a runt and he was bent over. If you watch the replay mcdavid stick is about chest high. I like Hughes I think he's a good player but really I don't think mcdavid stick is high Hughes is smaller and he's bent over
@@DmanDexter
Okay, and McD bent over too when sauce was cross checking him.
Intentionally crosschecking... In my opinion is a little different then a unintentional high sticking. Not saying he tried to hit him in the face but it was a intentiol crosscheck
@@DmanDexter
I'd rather be intentionally cross checked in the body than "unintentionally" whacked in the face with a stick.
Skinner only plays 1 good game in 5 games, Connor has to outscore the mistakes.
As a Vancouver fan. This guy was bang on.
Reminder, the Oilers faced the easiest of first round opponents. Another fun fact is the Oilers are a really weak team unless they load their top line. Their goalie is AHL caliber, and all this while being so HUMBLE. Yeah, and the only win came off a Canucks D-man's stick in overtime. Not looking good.
Wow.. another lopsided SOG game.. the experts keep telling me defense doesn’t win games. Only taking lots of shots from the perimeter is what wins games. Sarcasm/off
ZAROROV FINED $5000 , SOUCY ON PHONE HEARING
Henrique is hurt but we definitely could use Carrick's energy. Also, why did we get Stecher again? We gonna do anything about the Nurse Ceci line?
sounds crazy, but I would actually like to see Jack out there. He's had playoff success in the past. Agree on giving Gagner, Lavoie and Stech a go also.
Honestly I think the oilers have played good in this series and I’m not worried tbh. I think Skinner will rebound, depth will come through eventually, and I think we just need to have that calmness we had in round 1. This team has experience l. They just need to act like it. Obviously I could be totally wrong and they could crumble but I’m gonna bet on the oilers to come back and hit hard.
Oilers got 5 goals off of deflection from Ian Cole 😂 that’s insane
I think it's 3 not 5
If drai can play over 25 minutes, he can be on his own line at center. Move nuge to 3rd line. They have to spread out the talent
Pickard is the only choice we can’t afford to wait for skinner to find his confidence
Respect discussion i doubt Van or Edmonton can go to final but stats past 3 games show which team is better. Oiler need to split D29 and M97 to 2 lines team if you want to beat van within 60 mins this season. There is reason Van never put Lotto line play 30mins per game
Officials helped Vancouver big time with their win.
Well said. Edmontons weapons are slowly being neutralized..canucks don't have any weapons...but they do need to solve silovs....on that note..I'm a canucks fan..but if they lose series..i would then be rooting canadian...Edmonton all the way
if soucy get a suspension and theres nothing for the spear on Hog in the last game we will riot
Your city is likely going to riot anyway
Wow classy
Coach needs to give the second PP some touches instead of giving the top unit the whole 2 mins. This will help with the confidence of those players.
Skinner is a sieve you can't win without good goal tending in the playoffs
Silovs is a perfect example of what a hot goalie can do for a team. To only allow 3 on 45 against McDraisaitl (regardless of where the shots are coming from, this is a third string AHL goalie) is nothing short of incredible. Imagine if you swapped goalies on these teams. It would have been 10-3 Edmonton lol
oilers spent all their money on 2 guys and play them for 30mins a game. Good strat lmaoo
silvos isnt hot. hes just good. the canucks are winning cuz we have goaltending, a good defense and more then 1 line that can score.
@@SouPNaZi316 perhaps that is a fair assessment. I was thinking if he’s this good he would have already been at least a 2 in the NHL, but I didn’t realize he is only 23.
This is exactly why the Oilers should have played Campbell in all the regular season games after they lost to Vancouver for the last time. They needed to test him to see if he could contribute and we are now in a situation where we have zero faith in any goalie to get by this round. You can’t start Skinner again it would be crazy. I would start Campbell his playoff history even with the Oilers is better than anything Skinner has done.
why not Pickard? He's been nothing but excellent for the Oilers all year. Campbell? What are people talking about? That makes zero sense. He's been playing AHL for the past 6 months. You want to drop him into a must win NHL playoff game?
Pickard gets the least respect of any player on the team. Absolutely ridiculous.
@@ripapa6355 recency bias. Pickard was not excellent he was functional which is what the Oilers needed playing against the bottom end teams. He is who he is. If they go to him it can’t be worse than what Skinner is doing but it would be delusional to think they can win a Cup with Pickard. Campbell at least has the talent and prior success in the playoffs. Neither is a good option but they can’t use Skinner again.
And just look it up. Campbell in all his playoff starts has a combined .920 save% and a 2.28 goals against average. You’re right I don’t know why this is even being debated.
@@BenjaminDaCunha-ys8tyhave you watched Campbell on the Oilers? You're bringing up his stats from 2 years + ago. He isn't that goalie anymore. He is an ahl level goalie. Literally. They have no good options, but Campbell has been unplayable for the Oilers. Hopefully Pickard lets in a couple less soft goals than Campbell and Skinner would
@ripapa6355 I agree; Pickard has to start next game.
Hoglander gets speared in the groin , no suspension???????
@15:10 I noticed that as well, you gotta back up your captain, like come on. I think Draisaitl’s post-game interview doesn’t do much good for the team either by saying “post is not good goaltending”, especially in comparison to McDavid’s interviews. McDavid seems un-phased and he’s completely locked in, but there’s only so much he can do when the rest of his team isn’t in that same headspace.
Ian Cole out here catching strays
Good stat break downs. Horrible at picking the winner. Literally pick the exact opposite and you’ll get the winner.
Why hasn’t Edmonton. Traded one of their 37 first round picks for a quality goalie?? I’ll never understand it
When you see Mcdiver hit the ice and it wasn't a dive this time 😀
Two handed slash - no call?
Skinner maybe ok when not under pressure but he will blow it every time in pressure situations
Canucks goalie is the difference maker. Very obvious right now. Do we swap or not is the question.
Canucks have 3 goalies they have full confidence in, including 1 vezna goalie that is about to return to the line up.... What does edmonton have ?
@@michaelk2559 you have full confidence in a hurt goalie and a number 2 that’s a lie. Silovs has saved the nucks plain and simple.
When Kane got hot into the bench he held onto Zadorovs stick longer than he held onto his child support money
I agree that players are responsible for their sticks. Which should include high stick to the head and vicious two handed lumberjack hacks to the knees. Soucy should definitely know better
That double cross check on mcdavid from front and back was totally brutal lucky mcdavid doesn't have a broken back or jaw or somthing terrible
Yup karma is a bitch mc crybaby could have ended Hughes career with his 2 handed tomahawk chop to the face. What goes around comes around. Let's not cry over spilt milk.
then maybe he shouldn't have started it with a 2 handed lumberjack slash........ if you are around a net you can expect to get shoved, that ain't a license to start swinging sticks
What is killing the Oilers is their refusal to shoot when the opportunity is there…….no high danger shots, just saying.
Big Z destroying Kane onto the bench was the absolutely best !!!!
I never watched the 3rd couldn't take it Skinner makes me sick to my stomach and how the Oilers could perceive him as an Top NHL goalie that will back stop them to the cup and later I saw the assault on mcdavid and not one oiler around to give him a hand I never watched all season cause every time I did they lost been watching all the games from other series too in the playoffs the refs have been terrible for the most part all over . If the Oilers go out in this series the decisions they have made are haunting them now the play offs are a different beast and I knew Skinner wasn't the gut and the other two aren't either don't know the guy who replaced skinners name but we might gave a chance with a miracle from him but as I said if they loose this and I don't have to stress about this any more won't hurt my feelings do it fast .
It could be worse the canucks, number 1 goalie is out and their top goal scorer Petterson is a ghost of himself
Poor goaltending!Pull Skinner and don,t think about it!
I want Stu to be the guy sooo bad. But its the same thing 2 years in a row, getting outplayed by 3rd string goalie!
