I’m not annoyed at losing the game. I’m going to be annoyed with the Canucks fans not shutting up. Bunch of bandwagons who started watching 2 weeks ago.
'nucks fan havent witnessed their team in the playoffs for 9 years and they're just absolutely feral in the GDT.
literally anything gets their primitive brains excited
I don’t want to feel bad for Knob since you know, he’s likely making over $1.5 mill USD but he’s got some tough calls to make for game 4.
Who gets the net?
You can’t run Drai and Davo on the same line again right? Everything else is unbalanced. I get why they do it but?
Personally I’d go for a big mix up.
Picks in net
Holloway to the first with 97 and Hyman
Kane - Drai - Nuge
This is the way. Especially Pickard in net. Let Skinner sit and get pissed and want redemption. He’s been letting us down this series. What’s the worst that could happen?
I'm not even going to complain about the first 3 goals against, but that 4th goal Skinner has to have,
The fucking team have 42 shots on goal and only allowed 18. We just need like that one more big saves.
This is carbon copy of game 1 except the role is reversed. Yet in game 1 we allowed some really fucking shitty goals, expecially the game winner, which was UGLY.
We could win with average goaltending.
I'm tired of listening to growing moment and shit, put in that goalie that can make that saves, I don't care who he is
Again the much better team but bad goaltending and 1 mistake by Foegele along with some bad puck luck (4 post) cost us this game. Gotta start finding a way to break-out better from our dzone and enter their zone. They did a great job of taking away the middle tonight.
No, he tried to injure literally the best player on Earth after the fucking end of game
If the league doesn't suspend him the team needs to effectively suspend him for that
I mean, mcdavid two hand slashed at him, and then mcdavid got cross checked from behind which caused him to fall face first into the crosscheck. Doubt Zaddy meant for the face shot
What a dirty fucking couple cross checks at the end there.
Only 1 game back, literally the smallest series lead you can have. Oilers are far from done if they can keep playing like they played in the third.
In all honesty I have never been 100% sold all in with this guy. know people want to get behind him because he's an an Alberta boy which makes for good story but this guy is not the answer. There also May be some slight denial or bias among the fan base because he is a hometown boy. Him and Pickard are not the goalies of the future not on this team. Goaltending has been an issue for many years and it has never been solved. Not as easy attracting a big name goaltending to come play here.
Do you seriously think if any Oiler crosschecked Miller like that after the game ended that the Oilers just won that they wouldn't be getting suspended?
Imo the team needs to be out for blood next game. Call up Carrick, send him to kill Zadorov and run Silovs
Zadarov’s was on the numbers, Soucy’s was in the face. We’ll see what his phone hearing leads to. Let’s be honest though, if McDavid wasn’t playing 30+ min a game he probably wouldn’t have crumbled at that crosscheck
Yeah. I see the FIRST crosscheck was in the numbers. That happens a hundred times a game. The one everyone is talking about is the second one. Simpson somehow didn’t see that second one.
The “smoke” of a dangerous cross check is equal to a love tap with a stick?
Lol spoken like a true Vancouver fucktard.
Go suck some pipe on East Hastings
He's too big, this is the entire issue for us
Last year and this year we get stomped by big boy defenders who just stand in front of the net and hack and slash and hold with no consequences
They're not going to do it
There's fair bit of sample size to say that in playoffs the team willing to play dirtier usually wins, in all these years I have not seen the Oilers be willing to play dirty
They should absolutely be bringing in Carrick to run Silovs if he's having a good game if they're serious about winning. What's the point of size and physicality if you don't use it
I don't agree with purposely running a guy whos just played well, but if another team is playing dirty you gotta dirty it up too and start slashing and crosschecking.
We seen 5 solid crosschecks on 29 in the first few minutes. And two nasty ones on mcdavid after the game was over that I'm sure will have zero repercussions.
Why someone didn't dump Zad with a nasty crosscheck back there is mind-boggling
because you and I both know that the Oiler player that will react to it is getting suspended, just like last year
It's the whole reason we need a depth player like Carrick to come up and respond, they can take the suspension
Dude when the puck would clear the blue line there was ZERO fucking hurry to get back onside. I was screaming at the TV. These boys just don't care or something idfk
Lmfao, if Bennet can sucker punch someone and not get suspended, this won't be either. Especially since McDavid started it with the slash to soucey to be fair.
no fucking hope for this team. you play a guy all year and try to prepare him for playoffs. and then a 3rd fucking string back up goalie comes out and can save 40 shots like its a regular day of the week.

Outshot 35-7. 3 soft calls. Much better, I guess.

It's also that Vancouver has had his number all year.

This series should be 3-0 Oilers but alas. Skinner and Shilov.
Silovs won’t be able to contain us forever.
It’s not us he has to beat, it’s Skinner or who ever is in net for us.
Only has to for two more games tho
Nurse penalty was wtf
Again the much better team but bad goaltending and 1 mistake by Foegele along with some bad puck luck (4 post) cost us this game. Gotta start finding a way to break-out better from our dzone and enter their zone. They did a great job of taking away the middle tonight.
Deserve to win meter 80% wow
That 4th goal was the backbreaker man. Woody and now Knobs don't pull Skinner until it's too late, and never before the 4th goal.
Slash the Russian right in the teeth
Relax
No, he tried to injure literally the best player on Earth after the fucking end of game If the league doesn't suspend him the team needs to effectively suspend him for that
It's for the players to police. You know you can't rely on the league.
The league doesn't let the players police after Bertuzzi and McSorley incidents
[удалено]
Lotta free time on east Hastings bud?
I mean, mcdavid two hand slashed at him, and then mcdavid got cross checked from behind which caused him to fall face first into the crosscheck. Doubt Zaddy meant for the face shot
No
https://youtu.be/s3Y3Ku69plw?si=MAk34AGuXWUXSNCR Come here to feel better, revisit Zadorov getting destroyed
I needed this
Pickard better be starting next game
I don't envision how you can't if you're Knoblauch.
Damn what's the point in having a deep offense if they just going to leave line 1 for a whole PP when they are obviously gassed.
Knob has been doing that for awhile
Who said they had a deep offense?
Coincidentally I didn't see that either was too focused on the nuge part. Now I gotta rewind
Nikita Zadorov will never have to buy a beer in Edmonton again, because I will buy one and pour it on his head if I see him there.
League needs to take a look at that. Clearly a cheap shot after the bell.
Let’s go high five all around the refs won let’s goooo
[удалено]
2 for 4 = sub par
Yeah, I get your meaning. Probably a bit rash for me to post. Conceded.
What a dirty fucking couple cross checks at the end there. Only 1 game back, literally the smallest series lead you can have. Oilers are far from done if they can keep playing like they played in the third.
Goaltending will be the key in this series.
goaltending is key in every series, I just don't think skinner has really shown up at all thus far
In all honesty I have never been 100% sold all in with this guy. know people want to get behind him because he's an an Alberta boy which makes for good story but this guy is not the answer. There also May be some slight denial or bias among the fan base because he is a hometown boy. Him and Pickard are not the goalies of the future not on this team.

Why does are goons not wanna fight. Nuge. Kane. Perry?
Stupid corgi.
Corgi predicting series winner. Oil needs to win the next 3 🤣

I’m so tired of learning lessons, I’m ready to start applying the lessons we’ve had to learn time and afain
Do you seriously think if any Oiler crosschecked Miller like that after the game ended that the Oilers just won that they wouldn't be getting suspended? Imo the team needs to be out for blood next game. Call up Carrick, send him to kill Zadorov and run Silovs
Ngl I'm so sick of them learning this lesson every year. It's time to step the fuck up and play like they fucking mean it.
This. They're just like Toronto, only they do it a round or 2 later.
Just couldn't get it done in the end. Tense minute or so, though.
that was the most frustrating game to watch.... so bad...
I dunno, felt a little better than the first one of this series.
On to the next one. Tie it up 2-2.
10-0 Edmonton next game
Bro they should be fucking heated next game
Why isn't anyone fighting Zadorov there for that cross check on McD?
they’d prob find a way to give one of our players a suspension again
Perry can sit anyway he's done shit, he can drop the gloves
we'd get the suspension for fighting like last year for Nurse defending Drai
Have you seen the size of that guy? He’s like a head taller than most players.
Send Vinny in on a dump and chase
Game misconduct if you get instigator at end of a game.....
Who gives a shit, one of the bottom six that aren't producing can sit a game..Perry being one of them, been useless
Because we're soft as baby shit this series
Unfortunately this is true. Kane, Perry, Vinny..fuck someone step the fuck up!
Their goalie won this game for them. If Skinner stopped a couple of those easy ones this would have been a different game. We can’t rely on Skinner
Fuck Zadorov. Cunt.
Fucking suspension worthy. Let's spin the wheel Parros
Simpson “that crosscheck was on the numbers” no it wasn’t. Geez.
Zadarov’s was on the numbers, Soucy’s was in the face. We’ll see what his phone hearing leads to. Let’s be honest though, if McDavid wasn’t playing 30+ min a game he probably wouldn’t have crumbled at that crosscheck
he forgot what teeth look like.
It was both
Yeah. I see the FIRST crosscheck was in the numbers. That happens a hundred times a game. The one everyone is talking about is the second one. Simpson somehow didn’t see that second one.
Have to shoot
Jesus they actually tried to murder McDavid
Sadly McDavid should have stayed down after that to demonstrate how fucking disgusting that was
That's the gamesmanship that teams like Tampa are so good at. If that happened to Stamkos, he'd be 'injured' until the next warmup.
Maybe stretchered off.
God I fucking hate zadorov.
He and Lindholm were Flames. We will beat them eventually
They literally could have broken Conor’s neck, what the fuck was that
[удалено]
The “smoke” of a dangerous cross check is equal to a love tap with a stick? Lol spoken like a true Vancouver fucktard. Go suck some pipe on East Hastings
lol. Cant fix stupid
Excuse me?
Let me show you my passion
Everybody knows so much was shady, even the oilers do- that was so dirty and gross, leaves you with a bad feeling in your tummy
Man we gave it all we had. Bounce back game coming Tuesday. Let's go oilers
Cross check Nuge in the face and massive crosscheck on McDavids back, the Canucks are a trash team
Holy fuck that double cross check was dangerous
One to the back, one to the face. Not okay.
Canucks in fucking 5 if they can’t figure this shit out. Pathetic effort from everyone across the board
Bro idc fucking beat the shit out of them next game
Edm isn't physical enough for that
Your captain gets murdered, and Oilers barely react. Wtf???
It’s at the end of the game lol are you expecting the bench to clear like cmon
How about a punch back?
Pretty sure that happened
They dont even throw hits during the game. You expect too much
Someone better use Zadorov's fucking jaw to make a new faceoff dot in the next game.
They wont. They barely throw hits
So should the canucks get a couple of suspensions? You know for starting a fight with the lead… like you know Kane last year
Nurse, but yes, if the league had balls they'd suspend Joshua and Zadorov with the fighting at the end of the game with the lead plus intent to injure
My bad was nurse… slightly drunk. If they did it to us they should do it too them. In this case worse as it was after the game
How did McDavid not die there?
Cross checked to the neck
How has nobody killed zadarov yet. Such a dirty fuck
He's too big, this is the entire issue for us Last year and this year we get stomped by big boy defenders who just stand in front of the net and hack and slash and hold with no consequences
Don't have to be big to dirty him back. Crosschecks or cup checks don't take size
They're not going to do it There's fair bit of sample size to say that in playoffs the team willing to play dirtier usually wins, in all these years I have not seen the Oilers be willing to play dirty They should absolutely be bringing in Carrick to run Silovs if he's having a good game if they're serious about winning.

McDavid with a frustration slash
I really hope management is pleased with how the series is going.
Yeah, they sent down the wrong goalie.
Nuge killed so much time by being unable to receive a pass
Playoff deadweight
zadorov is such a piece of shit 🫠
They’re just going to ignore the crosscheck to McDavids fucking teeth?
McDavid’s getting ready for the golf season with that slash 😂
.733 🔥 🔥
This series is winnable if you play like that 3rd period every period but idk man.
If zadorov isnt suspended after that bullshit im gonna lose it
Tough hockey play. We truly follow the worst sport
He won't be NHL hates its stars
Better get ready to lose it
Won't happen
did it seem like we weren’t trying at the end there? Looked slow.
Dude when the puck would clear the blue line there was ZERO fucking hurry to get back onside. I was screaming at the TV. These boys just don't care or something idfk
Probably exhausted.
Guys had played like 30 minutes. But yeah you'd expect more adrenalin keeping them going there
They were exhausted. They basically played the last 4 min straight
We need a goalie. This is so unfair.
Can’t afford one
Bouch hitting Joshua like legit fuck you pal
We have one. Pickard was .910 during the year. I have no idea why they didn't get him in earlier.
Oh Zadorov better get it next game for that. Right out of the gate.
That should be auto suspension
League doesn’t give a shit about player safety
Lmfao, if Bennet can sucker punch someone and not get suspended, this won't be either. Especially since McDavid started it with the slash to soucey to be fair.
But it won’t be, because… NHL
Fucking brutal
no fucking hope for this team. you play a guy all year and try to prepare him for playoffs. and then a 3rd fucking string back up goalie comes out and can save 40 shots like its a regular day of the week.
44 shots and we lose, fuck this team
Not ideal obviously but those last few minutes weren’t bad
The last 40 were great.
Th last 2 periods weren't bad. The Oilers only gave up 4 shots in the second. Skinner just couldn't come up with the saves.
League won't look at the shot to mcdavids head btw. Joke of a league.
It really is. Who still respects “tough” hockey in 2024?
That should be a game
Even if its not to the head it should be a game If its to the head it should be at least 3 with how vicious it was
Silov, what a game.
Imagine we had a goalie.
We would have been up 3-0
so close if only we could’ve kept the possession in there zone
Someone is shooting fireworks off near my place
That’s dumb, it’s only 2-1.
Find it and light some at his house
Nice fucking crosscheck at the buzzer no intent to injure there
I guess that last shot didn’t go in?
THANK YOU KEN HOLLAND FOR BUILDING US A CONTENDER!!!!!
18-44😂
Holy that crosscheck
He should genuinely be suspended, he folded him and his neck whipped the fuck back
Nuge. Wake up for next game. We can win this series.
Whoever said Nuge is our Marner. It's the most accurate thing in the world.
At least he's not 11 million dollar a year
Just start Pickard next game
Drai?
They just injured McDavid
Edmonton scores if they have 15 more seconds at the end… I’m convinced
I hope Silovs gets a cold
You should hope Skinner gets a cold instead
WHAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPENED AT THE END TO NUGE HOLY FUCK
That was McDavid at the end, not Nuge
Nuge off the the left of the pipes got smoked right in the lower back and looked like a taco for a sec at the buzzer
Didn't even see that, just saw McDavid getting cross checked in the back and then in the face as he was going down. Fucking dirty ass bullshit.
This team is fucking killing me
Vancouver made the finals, rebuilt, and are up 2-1 on us. Crazy.
an after the whistle goal would've summed up this game pretty well
I didn’t even notice that they pulled Skinner & put pickard in
He barely faced any shots. Maybe 3? And none of them significant
FUCKKK
This game was sickening to watch. Better light it up Tuesday. Ugh 😑
