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.

Skinner calling himself (and Pickard) two good goalies.

Yah don’t know about that…

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?

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

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.

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.
