RISHAUG & LALJI BREAK DOWN OILERS VS CANUCKS AHEAD OF GAME 6
TSN Hockey Insider’s Ryan Rishaug and Farhan Lalji break down what’s been going on Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl’s apparent fatigue and what’s wrong with the Oilers.
Bouchard is all about offense and lacks defense. Nurse is being paid too much for what he delivers. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, despite being the first overall pick, seems more like a second-line player, or even third-line on most competitive teams. This team is not well put together and doesn't stand a chance against the Canucks.
The Canucks got a lucky bounce near the end of regulation to win Game 5, but there is no chance they win Game 6 back in Edmonton. Game 7 back in Vancouver will then show why home ice advantage in the playoffs is so important, however. Canucks will upset the Oilers in Game 7.
These analysts keep ignoring the fact that Edmonton is 0-4 against the Canucks in the regular season. If that is no indication, that speaks a whole lot lol
Lol, the Oilers close out experience has mostly been negative. Maybe the media should start giving the Canucks some credit. Miller has done a stellar job this series.
Hot take: Edmonton blows out Vancouver 6-2 OR Vancouver blows out Edmonton 6-1. I hope the former, but fear the latter. I don't think this game is going to be a 1 goal game like all the rest to this point.
Vancouver's physical play? Yes. Injuries even out. Oilers having to play McDavid and Draisaitl so much a detriment. No wonder they might be tired. Oilers bottom six mostly invisible. Pickard plays period. How many soft goals has he given up? Can't think of one. McDavid just being shut down. Not many good looks at the net. Just that breakaway where he scored. Even so the Oilers have had their chances. Silov the big difference. MVP of the series so far.
Every year Oilers are short on big players who can crash and bang. Ken Holland has consistently failed to bring the physical aspect of this hockey club up to par. Oilers are missing at least three players who can really hit back against the opposition. All the best clubs in the states know how to play heavy, which further helps the best players. Vancouver is a physical team. Why do we have to watch the oilers fail year after year and not recruit some heavy muscle?
Bring in Skinner? Let Campbell play? Idiots, its Pickard in net period. If Pickard is not in net, people need to be fired. And stop blaming the players, its the coach. Listen to Vancouver coach, then listen to Knob. The Edmonton coach lost game 5. He should have called a timeout and straightened the boys out, way back in 2nd period. Coach should have learned by now, can't let the boys hold back. The oilers strength is speed and full bore offence.

Your audio is kinda quiet.
Edmonton Looser's are a 1 line team with 2 amateur goalies they need a TEAM

Rishaug low key pissed 😂😂😂
audio is subpar…hardly audible its so muted
Canucks have been hammering the Oilers all series. Last night, the hits were 43-21 for the Canucks. It's taking a toll on them.

Plus Minus doesn't matter 😅
The Oilers and meat riding continues

Guess the regular season vs stats mighta meant something after all

Mark my words the oilers in 7.

I am sorry I can’t cheer for a Canucks team that is full of Americans. Go Canada Go which the Oilers are full of Canadians.
Maybe nicknaming your best player Mc Jesus was not a good idea
Edmonton is a greeat hockey club not a great team very close though
Whats wrong every coach hurns the top players out just like the last coach did.
Ok TSN you really need to learn how to normalize the audio on your exports.
Two words: oilers suck
Poor ryan rishaug…..his brown nose must be killing him afyer 8 years of mcdavid this, mcdavid that..blah, blah…
Mcdavid didnt win the scoring title.
Mcdavid has never won a conference.
Mcdavid has never won a stanley cup and probably never will. Lol.
