Great W but I would still sit Ceci in the press box for Stetcher, we got dominated anytime he was around the puck and having yet another 9% goal share couldn’t get worse if Stetcher is there.
Hard fought bounce back win tonight especially over time which always makes you nervous. McDAVID was outstanding tonight. Played tough especially against Hughes . Looked great in the third period with a magnificent break away performance. Great night for McDAVID. Bouch was much better in the third and overtime. Early he was not good. Stu played better tonight but can’t leave his crease so much . The Nikita Zadorov goal was bad. He has killed us…must stop him. And Tyler meyers -the oilers need to play physical against them. Play better defensively against Hughes, JT miller, Joshua and Elias Patterson. Kane has to show up physically against Nikita Zadorov and meyers . Perry was a no show. McLeod needs to step up. Henrique was not great. Kulak shou Stay back for defense as should nurse. Nurse has been a joke. Step up! Vinny needs to be physical. This team Canucks swarm you. You got to be ready for them as they have too many weapons …I have one thing to say:,I can’t stand TNT announcers …are they rooting for the Canucks…can’t stand their building either with the fans and their white surrender towels. It’s so loud in there. Awful. Go oilers and play physical in game 3 and 4. Don’t be behind. Let’s be in front for a change.
It's nice to see how much knobby really cares about their players. Not overwork drai tonight until he 100% Rico is back too LFG! Big (W) tonight. Back in Edmonton for game 3 & 4 Let's go boy's!!!
Give picks game three, we may squeeze by the nucks with Skinner but have no chance against stars/Avs winner with him in. Sit him down! If we waived Stu nobody would pick him up.
If you want the cup, you have to get rid of Skinner. He doesn't just play badly – he plays ugly. He is not working on his game, he has not improved any component of his game. Mediocre positioning in the goal, open angles for shots all the time. Not even every goalkeeper in junior hockey will miss Zadorov's goal… He fielded the team in 1 game, and in a huge psychological charge to Vancouver, and he almost leaked this game. These problems were still in the regular season, Skinner never played well – the defense played well, the goalkeeper always played lousy. To go with him for a cup is to play roulette. You can't help but see this as a coach. Skinner is a below-average goalkeeper, and he shouldn't have been on this team for a long time. The guys can't play confidently because they know that any throw will negate all their work and all their goals. Skinner is completely to blame for the first defeat, it is unacceptable to put such a goalkeeper on the games.

Great win boys and it wasn’t easy, Canucks were hitting hard all night I’m glad oilers didn’t give up and fought back and got the OT win 👍🏼 LGO
Big win, now it’s up to the home crowd to get them going

He is getting over coached. Remember this comment
One lucky bounce from Cole made a difference in this game ) Skinner SV % = .842 in game 2, game , in game 1 it was = .792 bad and very bad
The Oilers have one good line with McDavid and some good players, and it's not their goalie Skinner😂 or the $9 million Nurse.🤑
statistics don't lie: overpaid lazy Nurse during regular season had only ( + 3 ) compare to Ekholm ( + 44 ), postseason Nurse ( – 5 ), Ekholm ( + 4 )

How about try playing Pickard or Campbell. Skinner is NOT a good goalie in the playoffs.
That was a savage performance by Conor and Leon. They essentially took on two different lines of the Canucks and put on a clinic
Skinner is garbage
Keep skinner out of the net he’s a bumb
Congratulations 👏 🏆 continue play hard! Hit them, check them! Pressured them! Oilers can do it until Final 🏆🏆🏆!!!
Surprise! Leon played! It’s just a prank.And damn He is good!🧡💙🏆
Great comment. “ That line was playing Great, why break them up. “
Skinner well known worst goalie in playoff. Put someone else at the net.
Give picks game three, we may squeeze by the nucks with Skinner but have no chance against stars/Avs winner with him in. Sit him down! If we waived Stu nobody would pick him up.
Oilers won't make it far in the play off if they only have one line and Ian Cole scoring for you. 😂
Guess the Oilers fan forgot how they still blew a huge lead even with Ian Cole best MVP Oilers performance 😂
Great job Oilers!!!
This is one hell of a team and an incredible head coach.
97 and 29 are unstoppable forces.
I can’t believe Nurse had one hit last night,first one of a the year. Use more turpentine 😂

It’s hard for CECI to play with a chicken,Ceci plays hard in the corners
