We’ll talk about the end of game 6 for the Vancouver Canucks vs the Nashville Predators as we look back at the series as Vancouver prepares to move forward in the NHL playoffs and now has to fight the Edmonton Oilers
Man, this must've been a great game. I watched Knights v Stars. Complete opposite. Hope Dallas kicks them out in game 7, because I can't watch more of that hockey anymore.
our PK is at 90% ek… also you need to check shot attempts. This series was classic low event hockey. We absolutely can score. especially against the pylons called the edmonton oilers defence
I like how people are just writing off the Canucks against the Oilers, giving Nashville no respect at all. As a Canucks fan they really tested our courage and it was a close, yes boring, defensive series. The Predators simply smothered our offense, because thats their style of play. We handled Edmonton easily during the season, and they definitely dont have the same defensive brick wall.
I recognize its playoff hockey and this series will likely be extremely close (and entertaining) but to write us off completely will make it even sweeter.
The Canucks showed they can keep a team 2 goals a game in the playoff, can the Oilers score more than that against the Canucks? Skinner at best barely matched up to Silovs, not even DeSmith, let alone Demko. If it comes down to goaltenders, Canucks wins. Oilers aren't the Predators, which means more room for the players to move around and shoot, which means problem for the Oilers' defence.
There's something special about the Vancouver Canucks. They keep Winning in Winners fashion. I think they beat the Oilers in 6. I also think some of the games could be lopsided in favor of Vancouver. In the regular season it seemed like Vancouver knows how to play Edmonton. My friend is Edmonton fan and she's not paying close attention to Hockey but it's her second team after Winnipeg and I told her that I felt like Predators would have been a better match up for Oilers. With that said maybe Oilers will prove me wrong and will avenge their embarrassing butt whoopings in the regular season by Vancouver. It's looking more and more like this is Vancouver's year to me. I am by no means an expert in NHL hockey.
Don't be so lazy with your videos…. explain how many shots Nashville blocked compared to how many shots the Canucks attempted. Canucks will score more goals per game against the oilers 😊
Lindholm is the issue for you?!?! Seriously???? The guy has 2 goals (1 OT game winner) in this low scoring series (0.5 p/g) as a third line center!!! Just woow…
canucks literally stole games 4 and 6 in nashville all within the final 2 minutes of the game. What a heartbreaker for nashville and their fans lmfaooo
As a canucks fan. The oilers are a perfect remedy for certain players to breakout against. Not worried at all. Stoked to get this rivalry to the next level!
honestly, from a nucks fan pov. these 2 series could not be more different (nsh & edm) nashville is an extremely talented defensive team with an incredibly underrated forward group with an extremely good goalie. edmonton on the other hand, has without a shadow of a doubt one of the best offensive lines in the league (any team mcjesus plays on would) with a very lackluster defensive core and a goalie who is nowhere near as good as demko and hell, after silovs clowned the preds, id argue silovs is better than skinner.
i am absolutely not worried about the canucks offence at all, the oilers defence is absolute dogshit compared to nashvilles, and although i hate statistics, the oilers dont block nearly as many shots as the preds did in this series. this is a series that can absolutely go either way, but the canucks are the more complete team hands down despite edmonton having the worlds most stacked top line in existence.
the whole "canucks dominated the oilers in the regular season" thing is pretty misleading to rely on for predicting this round – I'm not saying the oilers are going to win it or anything, but 3 of the 4 games were when the oilers were the worst team in the league (losing to the SHARKS, etc), and the last game was a 1-goal game before the EN where the oilers were playing without mcdavid
When you look at the quality of first round opponents , the Oilers had it easier IMO . Nashville is a very tight checking team with a good goalie . With the way the Oilers handled LA it was obvious what team is getting better as each season comes and goes and what team is stagnating . The Oilers are not Nashville and the Canucks aren't LA . With so much scoring ability on both teams I'm wondering if we can expect more of a series of what goalie can make the timely saves and who has the actual better defense to bring them through the series . We all know what Skinner's past record is , what we don't know is what the goalie situation in Vancouver is atm . IF Vancouver can contain the the Oilers scoring , they have at least a good shot at winning the series . MY best guess before the series starts is Oilers in 6 .
The thing is, the Canucks had depth scoring throughout the regular season. I did the numbers and in the Oilers’ five game series with the Kings, a massive 65% of their points from the entire series came from 4 guys: McDavid, Draisaitl, Hyman, and Bouchard. I think if the canucks can shut down that first Oilers line then they have a smooth run to the conference finals.

Both Goaltenders did such an amazing job. Pred fans shouldn't feel discouraged after this loss.
Whoever wins Dallas vs Vegas is making Stanley cup finals calling it.
Ahh u got Vegas there! I got Kolorado there against us in SCFs lol
Happy to see the Preds lose on home ice and have to put their bs catfish tradition to bed for the year.

How the 3rd goalie robs the post-U2 Predators
I never want to see a 5mil+ goalie contract as its just not worth it
Vancouver hasn't won the Stanley Cup since 1915……………….
Time for an Oilers sweep 🙂
Bold prediction for the VAN-EDM series:
Oilers sweep, but every single game is one goal (maybe two if counting empty nets) and two of them are un OT
our PK is at 90% ek… also you need to check shot attempts. This series was classic low event hockey. We absolutely can score. especially against the pylons called the edmonton oilers defence
I still remember Ecks "It's 2023 and Vancouver is still ass" video. Talk about your all-time bad takes.

Josi with the season on the line with 3 seconds left:
high and wide🔥🔥💯

Goaltending was insane tonight
Canadian teams in the east are not doing too good … 🤣🤣😂😂
Just realised we have the same bracket, except, even though I am a Vegas fan, I think Vancouver will win the CF.

Sad day 🥺

Vancouver canucks havnt had a power play in 5 periods now

I think the Canucks are cooked
Leafs fan here, powerplay, that is such a weird noise, what is that?
Elias Pettersson needs to wake tf up
Get those stats outta here it’s playoffs baby
This is why I love playoff hockey
The thing is, the Canucks had depth scoring throughout the regular season. I did the numbers and in the Oilers’ five game series with the Kings, a massive 65% of their points from the entire series came from 4 guys: McDavid, Draisaitl, Hyman, and Bouchard. I think if the canucks can shut down that first Oilers line then they have a smooth run to the conference finals.
I don't really expect to beat the oilers but I'm pretty happy with what's been done so far considering how awful last year was
lindy played well all series don't care how many points he had
Nucks have way better goaltending and defense than the Oilers…
That first period was absolutely BONKERS. So much back and forth.
Well oilers are done
Muck off Canucks win against coilers ez pz nicks are a way better depth team
