What a game 7 choke! But I still blame the Vegas Golden Knights cheating made oilers a better team. Nucks are so soft…
Garland is such a stud! Great showing by him
The Canucks played their game for the first 5 minutes, and the last 15 minutes. The oilers played theirs for the middle 40 minutes.
What went wrong? What I saw was a Canucks team that changed their play style after the all star break.
Something happened at that point where they stopped doing those controlled breakouts from their zone they'd been doing in the first half of the season that creates rush opportunities and momentum swings in their favour, where they could get the puck to the other team's zone under control and apply pressure post rush, pressure that leads to penalties, pressure that leads to goals and the other team getting caught on their heels. Pressure that wins games. What happened is the Canucks went away from that and started getting too cautious, dumping the puck down and giving it right back to the other team to try for re-entry and continuous pressure for long periods. That's time when the other team's applying pressure, keeping the Canucks on their heels and getting chances to score, drawing penalties. That's one change I saw.
The other change is in the offensive zone, the Canucks stopped using their talent to break ankles and create high danger chances. They become too content to stand around taking perimeter shots and trust they'll get a lucky bounce to get their goals. 1st half Pettersson was making moves to gain the slot, get past those blockers and create clear lanes for himself, he was forcing the defense to back in too much out of fear of his dangles and moves and creating openings for his line mates, he was creating multiple options for his team. If dangle-slot-shoot's a no-go, he can dangle-slot-backdoor or dangle-slot-pointshot, or dangle-pass or whatever. Quinn Hughes when he'd break ankles would do it and drive to the middle, and take a shot or draw a crowd to himself and then dish it off to a forward or Hronek for the power one timer. 2nd half he'd cautiously dangle, break an ankle and go down the boards, eventually getting angled into the wall and stuck banging around the boards until inevitably the other team finally comes up with the puck.
As a whole, the Canuck's zone time pressure was in motion offense. Everyone was moving around, changing positions, confusing the defense and forcing players out of position. Either somebody would get too tiered and slow and couldn't keep up any more, or would get confused and cover the wrong guy and leave another guy wide open, or would panic and get running around and coughing pucks up, something would happen. Last half the Canucks would stay outside the defensive box and try to hope for a bounce in front. The Canucks movement early on would either stretch the defense out too much, or get them too concentrated in one area and either way, create openings for themselves. Early Canucks vs Nashville meatwall would have found ways to give that guy doing down for the block the Dirty Dangle and then gotten behind him and converting a perimeter shot into a higher danger slot shot. Or would have dangled, and drawn 2 or 3 players in and passed the puck to an open wing or point for a one timer.
The Canucks have a very talented team, with a few gaps Alvain and Rutherford can hopefully fill this off season, and build upon what they've got, and hopefully Tocchett and the Canucks can find a structured defensive system that does not stifle that creativity and talent the team has and allow this team to play to their greatest strengths, using their hands to gain the slot and make life hard on the other team. Use their talent to gain controlled zone clears and break outs where they can shift the momentum back in their favour. The best defense is to be in the other team's zone applying pressure.
What happen to L.M.F.A.O to skinner starting game 6/7
Get rid of PD.. He drives me nuts and now he's a eleven million dollar player —> STAY ON YOUR FEET !!
Canucks have potential, they just need to show up on time, not 50 minutes after
I said it on another video but we were out coached bigtime. Seriously repeating forced plays over and over and over with the same result. Zero change up. For example zero one timers from dmen. Instead pass side to side to side until you lose your sanity. Canucks system was revealed and 100% predictable by the end. Fully exposed
Power Play will need a major overhaul… too predictable and no finish…. too much passing around and perimeter shooting ,,, need to get more shots through overhaul (you cannot win or score goals if you can't get the puck through)
Hopefully the Oilers learn their lesson here or Dallas while end them fast. When they play to score they're almost unbeatable at both ends. They have to stop sitting back and just giving the other team the puck when they're leading.
First nhl dman with 20 points in 2 rounds in nhl history, yeah he severly out played hughes lol
I made up my mind within the 1st period when they had only 2 shots on net to Edmonton's 8-10 shots. All Vancouver needed to do was shoot the puck. When they did shoot the puck. Skinner was not to be found. On the most easiest shots. While Silovs was amazing.
Edmonton wanted it more and it showed, that’s it.
Passenger pete.
They were overcoached. Tocchet needs to give his best skilled players the green light to break out of "structure". That's what AV did with the Sedins.
Hughes scored more goals in the first 45 seconds of this video than he did in 7 games against the Oilers.
Pettersson forgot how to play ice hockey.
the canucks played till the end and im oilers fan btw
Bouchard > Hughes. It’s a discussion now
I'm happy the Nucks lost.
Simple answer really, they didn’t have the playoff experience necessary to make it all the way to the end, they needed a test run to give them that experience and this gave them all that they need to do even better next time
Well, Oilers are just better then the Canucks. Easy
They crapped rhe bed when they needed to win the most. Well said. Not the first time this franchise has done this either, with or without playoff experience. Dumping instead of shooting pucks on net wouldn't get it done. Passing and losing the puck instead of shooting on the pp wouldn't get it done. These aren't built from experience; these are simple hockey logic.
What went wrong? They didn't come to play with a full team.
On some nights, some try to do their best which has gotten them this far. On some nights, they just had so called team mates that enjoys scoring for the opponents. And most of all… they had one of the leagues most paid player who did didly for his team.
Petterson needs better wingers. Cannot put players who cannot score goals to play with him. Too many missed opportunities will drag down his confidence.
Need to reflect mentally why Canucks in multiple games in both series only show up last 10 minutes of the game. They have the talent, skills and dynamics to show up a lot earlier to attack wave-by-wave but they didn't. Is it because they are tired? Inexperienced? Lack of preparation? Defensive structure? Stressful? Coaching? Need hockey psychologist to help players to diagnose and overcome their mental difficulties
Petterson no show brock Z And garland line was the only one going also Silovs bright azz future but Petterson cud have won the Canucks game 7 alone my opinion 😉
Sucks for the Canucks being eliminating thought there were gonna win the Stanley Cup
Do Edm/Van fans hate e/o more than BOA?
Yah my oilers pulled out the win!! Sorry canucks for your team losing. They made a series of it, played hard had solid goaltending. When you make playoffs you don't really know what you have, now you do. You've made playoffs now you gotta build on your success it useually takes a couple tries noone comes out and just takes it all. great teams get beat before they win. The oilers of the 80's lost to the islanders. The future looks bright in vancouver should make the playoffs next couple yrs just gotta sign a few scorers and maybe a defensemen and depending on boeser maybe a 2nd line center. petey is the big question tho. hughes got a taste but still pretty young.
Ran out of gas. Also Mikheyev is useless. The end.
