Still a close game that could have gone either way, a bounce here or there. McDavid was off tonight though, uncharacteristic give-aways and bad passes. Skinner let two bad ones in. Nuge hits the post and the Nucks come right back and score. Hand pass by Nucks, doesn't get called and they score, etc. With that said though, they still blew a 4-1 lead, lacked killer instinct and forgot how to play defence in the 3rd period
How you can win game when Oilers goalie Skinner has .79% SV and allowed 5 goals from 24 shots? How you can win game when Oilers $9 million defender Nurse🤑 has (-3) plays on AHL level at best? No matter how many goals Hyman scores (already 9 in 6 games!) pathetic Oilers will lose)) Where Kane (1 shot) /? Oilers had total of only 18 shots on Vancouver’s goalie. Period # 3 is totally lost by IDIOT coach and Co.
Oilers GM brought 3 mediocre players during trade opportunity instead of 1 or 2 TOP 6 players. Where are those players?
Idiot GM, idiot coach and bunch of mediocre players and mediocre at best goalie = Oilers team.😝
For a top team like Edmonton, I don't think they gave it away but positive spin, sure. In the end, watching two Canadian teams is great and we'll see how the rest play out. Entertaining stuff.
It was an embarrassing loss and they better learn from this. I can't think of anything good too say really. Even when they got the early lead, I could tell they weren't on it with the bad passing, awful faceoffs etc.
Man up for the next one and just forget this nonsense even happened.
The oilers did not give it away! The Canucks won that game… the oilers can not handle the Canucks structure, the Canucks are winning this series in 5.. sorry not your year oilers fans. It may be an 8-0 series this year for Van. They’re Already at 5-0.
the only way to take down the oilers is if the canucks and flames combined forces which they did. so its gg they got lindholm and zadorov from the flames.
Reality check. Nurse got outplayed on the winning goal. When chips are down, when it counts, when great players need to elevate. All the cliches. He got burned, because he bit on the puck handler and gave the trailer a free entry.
The B team, how do you like those Leaf announcers taking the limelight? I hated listening to them, they are so much apart of why the leafs are out with fans losing interest, now they’re working their magic on the Oilers, they are all Canucks.
Vancouver fans are going to curse there team with so much smack talk on other sites like Vancouver is a way better team then oil so much in a game your right Edmonton didn't play a good game and Vancouver only won 5 to 4 compare to oil team firing on all gears with the talent they have Vancouver is playing good but these people are acting like they blew oilers out it's anyone's series still and I've seen so many times people cause there own team cause they don't know hockey and ruin a game with stupid comments
Good to see Jack in the picture still somewhat …. Would be nice to have him doing the broadcast with Louie instead of the leaf fan boys we have right now… they are brutal to listen too. Jack is the best broadcaster
Fan of Edmonton🇨🇦 Oilers and Ottawa🇨🇦 Senators. While I watched Oilers play LA Kings, I also watched Senators play LA Kings in the previous matches. While I watch Oilers play Vancouver, I will also watch Senators play Vancouver in previous games.
…and the two-headed monster aka Nurse and Ceci showed why they don't inspire confidence in me as a fan. I think they should be demoted down to third pairing, NOT first! Move Ekkie and Bouch, Vinny and Kulak up. This is enough already – those two could lose the series for us singlehandedly… like, even if everything else goes absolutely right.
The Oilers played sloppy and undisciplined throughout. They were lucky to be ahead going into the third. Stupid retaliatory penalties, and poor intensity doesn't win you the game. Coaching decisions and lineups no doubt contributed to this massive failure.

Need more Oilers to play like Holloway. He seems like he’d jump in front of a train to get the puck. (Cough cough 71 cough)

Oilers did not give them anything…they had victory ripped from their cold fingers by a better more balanced more disciplined Team.
It’s not on STU
But he’s gotta make a save or two late in the 3rd

It's been like this all year oilers gotta score 6 goals a game to win lol

All the oilers need is decent goaltending, this is a travesty.
it's over! Canucks in 4!! Oilers goalie sucks! lol! up 4-1 and still lose lol!
Lets just cut through the Sportsnet/CBC political posturing… Jack and Louie should be calling this series. Cuthbert and Simpson are lifeless.
Rust!

SKINNER SUCKS, SO DOES NURSE
Might be a 4-7 series for van but still a failure

Canucks fan here. Jack Michaels is an absolute legend, love listening to his play by play

Just get the puck close to skinner, he’ll find a way to put it in on himself.
