This could be a blessing in disguise. The oil can rest for round 1 with their busy remaining schedule.
I was worried they’d burn out trying to get first only to play Vegas in the first round. Nashville would have been nice but ultimately I like the odds against LA.
I just Wonder how is thinking that evander kane not is a top 6 player anymore 😂😂😂😂 i have been reading that before that People in here is saying that kane is not any top 6 player and you how have been saying that you just dont now anything about ishockey so I think its just better that you are starting to look at curling insted stupidos llloollll
9 mil defenseman screened Skinner for the 1st. Backed in too far. Oil started strong and in reality could have gone either way. Hopefully the playoffs kick the boys into another gear.
Hi Patrick and all Oilers fans from Germany. Tonight I woke up without a sign from my watch to support my team in the fight for being first in the Pacific division! Abstruse time of 4am on a Sunday morning, but I was there in front of my TV. The match started with a lot of power movement but also more personal faults than I had ever seen. Simple passing ends with a give away so no combination was going well. Offense tried to come into the game but they had all the problem to stay on their skates than to shoot. Also they absolutely didn't like to check, couldn't understand. Was very disappointed in front of the TV. Defense killed me, no checking, no blocking, no slot control!!! That makes me completely anxious for the playoffs. Canucks became a lot of shots without any defensemen being in the slot, terrible. Skinner had a good day, but was also frustrated about that. Bouch was only fixed on offense or talking to the umpire, Nurse went back and back till he touched Skinner in the goal, only Ekholm did a bit of defense against the Canucks. Result 0-2, and that was very good for us because of Skinner. But the match didn't work for us this night. Biggest problem to stay on their skates, never seen a match in which so often played somebody on ice as yesterday!!! So you can't win. And can't reach big targets!!! I am really scared about the playoffs in this form. So we get out after 4 games. Defense, c'mon guys , your task is to defend our goal, not to score goals!!! Take control of the slot, wtf are you doing??!!! And you are allowed to check your opponent at the rails, really!!! Don't go so far back that you push your goalie out of the goal! Stay in front of your opponent or check him, please!!! I was really pissed off tonight. Best espresso in the world could make me smile about that shit! So guys request yourself if you wanna play like this or try to do something magic next time. We stay on your side, but not when you play like this. So I will try to eat something now after 3 hours of sleeping. Cheers from Germany, wake up oilers and fight!
Imagine if this team hadn't pissed away so many wins to start the season. They could be first in the league. Oh well, still a valiant effort on the season.
As Yogi said, "It ain't over until it's over". Words to heed. Hang in there Oiler fans. I'm a Canucklehead, and I know how fast things can go south. I've had decades of experience. LOL
The losses we've seen the last couple weeks, tells me the guys just aren't good enough yet. The Dallas embarrassment was quite telling, this just added to it.
No agree that backing up on Skinner letting van player to come right in to score and his partner was already there Skinner told him they showed on tv timeout and just bad mistakes last few games like he is lost Ek has stepped up and looks like bouch soon as Ek steps up he goes to playing making bad decisions

Probably an over reaction but Bouch needs to be benched at some point, so many boneheaded turnovers and soft chips which screw the team.

Last nights game was pathetic no heart🤬

Wonder if Kane was yelling at Perry for that turnover!
1 overtime loss and the Canucks clinch

The teams not complete with out the Captain

for the EDM clinch, canucks need to lose both games in regulation. Just a single point clinches the Pacific for them.
Ah forget it…move on.
Demko was playing? Nice
From a huge Canucks fan…nice, reasonable review of the game from the Oil side.

The game was close but Oilers made one more mistake than Canucks
