Is it me or do the oilers look gassed?
Another disaster for the Oilers, they just can't figure it out. McDavid will die regretting not pulling a Lindros.
A Stars-Canucks WCF would be awfully interesting, I'm not much of an Oiler fan so am rooting for the Canucks
With so many Americans on the roster I officially rename the team the Vancouver Amucks.
I have no skin in the game when it comes to this series but man I want Vancouver to win for Shannon
Thanks, Shannon!
Ep40 finally became a difference maker! fuck it was nice to see him dangle and make crisp passes
Although they are not quite as good as the Canucks, the Red Wings, Griffins, and walleye also have a great back and fourth between each team. All coaching the same type of play from Toledo to Grand Rapids to Detroit.
Gotta feel bad for Drai right now. 21 points in 10 games and it's STILL not enough. 98 points in 59 playoffs games, not enough.
Congrats Vancouver, I'll be rooting for you for the next (hopefully) two rounds!!
Vancouver and Dallas in 6

Vancouver now leads the series 3 games to 2. I couldn't watch or listen to the game. I'm actually home now but we had a scheduled power outage between 9 PM and 3 AM so no game, no nothing (sigh). I mean even sports bars were shut down due to power disruption. Going just from the stats Vancouver shot more, hit a LOT more (more than double), and won a lot more faceoffs. Neither team's PP was firing but PK's were both 100%. The rest was basically irrelevant and the level of stats I post. The goal with 33 seconds to go by Miller sealed the deal for a Canucks win. As near as I can tell Pickard played great but the rest of the team didn't. Oilers must now win the next 2 games to move on to round 3. Take care all.
IT’S MILLER TIME!!!
I don't think anyone said anything about the delay of game byHughes, except for "tocchet won't like that one"
Jesus. haha. The distain for the fans is pretty evident.
It's awesome to see Di Giuseppe score a big goal.He was a fan favorite for the rangers.Huge win for Vancouver
i cant believe i finally disagree with you for the first time. petterson left his feet, easy call
great play by the Lindholm for the third goal
held on to the puck till the JT got to the net
5:4, 4:3, 4:3, 3:2, 3:2
Nucks, Oils, Nucks, Oils, Nucks
I'm seeing a pattern. If the pattern holds, next game 2:1 Oiler win, followed by a 2:1 Canucks win in game 7.
The 94 rematch is gonna be insano!
So who’s he pulling for in a stars Canucks series?
Clearly there is a gray area with delay of game because Skjei clearly pitched one straight over the boards and they reviewed it and chose not to call it.
So much for the Oilers amazing power play 🙄🙄🙄
Honest question; How long can you expect to hold down, Mac,The Moose ,Makar,and the other 10 power players of the Avalanche?
I love this Canucks team. They have lots of fight and heart. Regardless of what happens I'm super proud to be a fan.
This series has to be the best playoff hockey we’ve seen in a very long time. Two teams playing at their peak, trading game-for-game. Exceptional stuff to watch.
Must watch TV. So many penalties; penalty kills doing a good job tonight on both sides
Really want the Oilers v Rangers final. McDavid needs a cup.
Shannon, what are you going to do if the Western Conference Finals are Dallas/Vancouver? Just smile and enjoy the series?
This was the Canucks best overall performance of the playoffs and their PK looked really really good
As a Nashville fan I am truly enjoying seeing the Canucks lead the series with Edmonton. Originally I was pulling against Edmonton but watching the Canucks play is so much fun! The chemistry on this team is electric! Here’s to hoping they can win in Edmonton because I really want to see them play in Round 3!
