Oh it’s not even close. McDavid has been owned.
Zadorov has neutralized Kane as well this series.

No f***ing shit. Ken Holland's a piece of shit.
Agree entirely. Failure by Holland as you've pointed out.In the last 14 months Vancouver has added Lindholm Zadorov Hronek Soucy who have all been impact players. Holland has added….an injured 34 year old Henrique who can’t centre his own line.
They had the depth and balls to take out an entire line of Lafferty Mikheyev Karlsson because they were “passengers” and were rewarded with absolutely no passengers tonight. Huge indictment of this organization.
Both of these coaches are reactive idiots, to be fair, like most of them
Far too much loyalty to players that have sucked for most of the playoffs
Will Ceci finally draw out? LOL yeah right

The coach isn’t telling McDavid to lose the JT miller matchup badly.hire a rookie coach in a "cup or bust" season..
What a lol contract. Imagine what would be said here if this was an Oilers contract. hell even Nurse at 9M, at least he can play anytime he's not with Ceci. petey looks like a boy out there.Petterson is a fraud.
He was in the right positions as Ekholm banked some pucks off him. Perry doesn’t get the same opportunity playing on our bottom lines. But yeh Perry haven’t been great, i see where you are coming from.I think that Henriques net front play has been more impactful than Perry.
I also like that Henrique is a center.
He also has much younger legs.
Henrique was the bare minimum. They needed more. Even if we get past Vancouver do you think we can beat Dallas or Colorado? And then Rangers/Panthers?This team has been one goal away in each of its losses in this series. I understand the playstyle we prefer to see in the playoffs. But the margins between a loss and a win aren't as significant as many believe they are.
Give me Henrique because he improves our looks in the top six.
You should post on the mains with all the rest of the ghouls who only show up when the Oilers losehire a rookie coach in a "cup or bust" season..
The cap space is Holland's fault but the Canucks had cap space to make these moves. It's kind of a big deal. Stecher is an upgrade on Ceci that the coach refuses to play
KK gets to chase around Talk-shit and do the same thing for game 6. Reactive garbage coaching. He needed to make changes 3 games ago
They haven't needed him with Miller and Lindholm dominating. I hope he stays sullen and invisible but he's still a one-shot guy that can be checked out and still rip a mid-range dagger to score. The Oilers are one game from extinction facing an organizational #3 goaltender. The #1 guy is an elite or close in a league with few of them. Oil had a table set pretty well coming into this series.Lil Petey callout didn't even work though. The fans even chanting his name and really he got nothing done even with the linemates he specifically wanted. most of the time on the bench the guy looks like he's in severe need of antidepressants.
This isn't about what the Canucks are doing as much as about the Oilers being luled by LA Kings and not adjusting to this series. Like they figured it would be easier. When one looks at how ordinary pettersson and Hughes have been in this series one would think that only result in a series loss. But then McD plays 4 of the worst playoff games of his life being essentially nothing. First line was awful tonight and more awful considering the D pair is Ekholm Booch with them. What a waste of resources. They were all off tonight. All -2 as well.
How to get over this depressed feeling over a sports game I have no control over
Yeah you know its not like its going to make a whole lot of difference but Henrique can sub in on the top 6 occasionally too.He was in the right positions as Ekholm banked some pucks off him. Perry doesn’t get the same opportunity playing on our bottom lines. But yeh Perry haven’t been great, i see where you are coming from.
All I’m saying is the team is flawed in significant areas.Bruh, this is the Canucks. Who would they have added to get past these absolute juggernaut greatest team of all time??
Seriously, they had the depth to beat them without any adds
Skinner farted away two winnable games in the first 4. Maybe Holland should have gotten a goalie (all due respect to Pickard as he's played great but he shouldn't be starting). McDavid has been absolutely pedestrian, same with Hyman.
Walker, Duclair or whatever wouldn't be the difference
Holland saw Ceci cratering all year, a need to add one more top 6 winger, and a 1B goalie. His adds (an aging 34yo C, a 4th liner and a 6/7 D) have racked up 3 total points in game 10 of the playoffs. He spent a 1st, 4th and 5th. Ken didn't help this team. A failure. A flop. f*** him forever.Henrique was the bare minimum. They needed more. Even if we get past Vancouver do you think we can beat Dallas or Colorado? And then Rangers/Panthers?
Damn straight. Nor did Wayne have to have Mess on his line to get himself going.This series has also put the gretz mcdavid debate to rest.
There is no ways Wayne would have only 1 goal Vs the f***ing Vancouver Canucks.
Nothing new with Ceci. The players cared more about their friendship with the plug than having another Dman that can defend and transition the puck cleanly out of the oilers end. Then good ol soft piece of shit Holland caved in to their advocating.
You notice how Holland hasn't been shown whatsoever in this series against the nucks? The piece of shit doesn't deserve to fly off freely this season
Yeh I mentioned in my first post in the post game. It seemed like the Oilers just sat back hoping for mistakes like they were gifted in the 1st. Instead of driving play and generating for themselves, they played the hope game which created that passiveness in our game.Inexcusable that the team continued to play passively in the 3rd after a horrific 2nd period. Like who the f*** is teaching the team to constantly float the puck out the Oilers end which keeps giving the canucks more possession of the puck to attack offensively.
I said it to my family during the watch party too. The Oilers played like they held a lead in the 2nd/3rd when there was no lead to defend to begin with. Such passive f***ing players either floating the puck out of the Oilers end, rarely forechecking when the puck is dumped in, can't make a clean pass, and refusal to shoot the f***ing puck.
I would agree generally. Holland just tried to wave his hand with one trade hoping it would be enough but he just didn’t do enough to address specific flaws in this roster.Well it doesn't help that Henrique got injured. But it seemed like a soft focus in terms of team priority. I think they needed a hard 3C and felt they should have paid the price for Laughton, a guy with some term and younger, more bite. The biggest need was top 4 RD but that was a limited market with Tanev not being dealt to Edmonton.
This team misses Kostin and big, functional toughnesss in the bottom six. There's been no response to a way more physically aggressive opponent.
He’s already house hunting in Columbus.
don't worry..i'm sure our coach will try to pound that square peg into a round hole.The coach isn’t telling McDavid to lose the JT miller matchup badly.
