Edmonton Oilers Defeat the Vancouver Canucks, 4-3, advance to WCF

[LTIR]

This really hurts me to say it but



Connor Garland has by far the best head of hair on either team

Garland had a great series aside from one off game.. he is a playoffs performer

Gotta think Hughes and Miller are injured, they did not look normal out there.

GG Edmonton, that's a team that has learned how to get up for game 7s, hopefully Van's stars learn from this.

Oilers took it to us. We held on well and capitalized on chances. Kinda of our MO for the season. Simply needed more effort the last 2 games and completely fell flat. Oilers wanted it more and it showed. Wasn't pretty hockey but it was entertaining.

GG Oiler fans, was hoping for another comeback we had you sweating at the end there.

Great series. Good for the Canucks seeing as they were supposed to be a fringe playoff team. A succesful season for both teams at this point IMO.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Better team won

Congrats

 

[Skolman]

I love how McDavid is sick whenever he doesn't play well

Dude could barely speak post-game....

But yes, keep it up

 

[Bizzare]

Skinner calling himself (and Pickard) two good goalies.

Yah don’t know about that…

 

[CycloneSweep]

Oilers barely beat the Canucks minus their starting goalie, their top winger, and with their franchise center having 1 goal in 13 games.

Fun series. But you're going to get smoked by Dallas.

Canucks lost to the Oilers who are missing a top 6 winger, Ekholm and McDavid have been battling a bad flu, Skinner had an awful series with their franchise center having 1 goal this whole series.

See how your excuses work?

 

[Brookbank]

Thankfully no Vancouver roster showed up for 45 minutes tonight. Terrible effort at home

As if it is all just effort. Cant believe how dumb people sound.

 

[ACLEVERNAME]

Amazing ovation from the Vancouver fans towards their team.

It really is a refreshing and heart-warming show from the crowd vs throwing beer cans and rancid steak onto the ice. Just cements the idea that IQ goes up the closer you get to the coasts. Good series from both teams! Good hockey.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

The better team won. Oilers were the better squad in at least 5 of the games.

Credit to the Canucks, they made it closer than they had any right to, being down Demko all series and down Boeser tonight

 

[DarrylshutzSydor]

Best series so far........

 

[Baby Pettersson]

Gg Oilers.

I'm proud on my Canucks.

 

[lopper]

I love how McDavid is sick whenever he doesn't play well

Is that why all the top players for the Canucks took 55 minutes to show up tonight?

 

[Regal]

It took the 2 biggest Canuck MVPs to be out for the Oilers to beat the Canucks in 7 in a one goal game. Safe to say if the actual Canucks roster showed up, theyd win easy

I mean McDavid was a shell of his usual self in most of the series too. Hyman and Ekholm also not 100%. Every team is going to have players not at their best in a series

 

[Bizzare]

Dude could barely speak post-game....

But yes, keep it up

Yah, im sure it has nothing to do with him screaming a ton.

 

[snag]

GG Oiler fans, was hoping for another comeback we had you sweating at the end there.

Yeah that was nerving.

 

[Devilsfan118]

Hate to keep ragging on the guy, but if EP is even average in this series the Canucks probably move on relatively easily.

Really hope he gets his head right in the offseason.

Stars in 4

Stars in 2.5

 

[CupofOil]

The Canucks don't quit so big credit to them, but my god do the Oilers love to beat themselves. Brown shooting the puck over the glass under little pressure, McLeod serving up a pizza to the Canucks most dangerous forward then Bouchard icing a puck for....reasons that led to the Hronek goal.

In any event, good series Canucks fans. The back and forth was entertaining if nothing else.

 

[OurlordAndSaviorKuch]

Dammit you deranged Oreo dolphins letting me down.

Ah well joking aside it was a dam good series.

 

[snipes]

Bouchard really outplayed Hughes this series.

 

[North Cole]

Oilers will need to play a full 60 from now on, actual playoff opponents in the next round. Can't believe how hard we made that on our ourselves, Van was the better team for like 5 periods in the series.
