This group is just soooo frustrating. Struggle with depth-scoring all playoffs and especially series, get 2 goals from them, gets amazing goaltending, but now the best players dont show up and they have their worst defensive performance of the playoffs. Wtf is all I can say.

Vancouver plays Tocchet hockey, which wins in the playoffs. Knob is not nearly intense enough and his teams work ethic matches his personality and demeanour.

Finding Hemingway
Captain McD with another invisible game everytime we are in critical battles in series and in danger of going out.
Inexcusable that McD has been as bad as he has for two consecutive games in an all important game 4 and 5. Fortunately we got the win in game 4, thanks to the Drai line.
History won't be kind to moments like this. Every other superstar when they have to take the team on the back in a close pivotal game they do, that is if they ever are SC winners.
McD was beating himself all night flubbing passes, shooting wide on everything and being an absolute question mark positionally. Even on 4 on 4 McD isn't finding open ice.
he's captain, and it falls on his shoulders for having two rotten games in a row in the playoffs.

Holland gives up a first for two players that can’t even play. Yeah, injuries, but still not a great look.

Maybe the next GM can get some defense, a starting goalie, and some depth.

Welp. Time to find out if these guys have any f***ing pride.
On to Saturday. Let's go boys.

It might be the case with Mc-D that he's just played too much hockey and the tank is low. Whatever the case, he has played some of the most indifferent games in his career in the last week.
Oilers haven't had much puck luck in the series apart from game #2.

Stauffer wants to start Skinner next game. What?

Time is a flat circle.
Not saying that is remotely true, but I was honestly surprised when they got engaged. If I was a professional athlete, I'd delay getting married as long as possible. Literally just for legal reasons.

The Canucks best players were a lot better than the Oilers best players.
Vancouver was much better 5x5. Ran the Oilers show.
Won puck battle after puck battle which was brutal to watch. Hammered the Oilers at every turn.
The PK for the Canucks owned the Oilers PP.
Bouchard went from great to absolute garbage in 48 hours. How does that happen?
Worst Dman on the ice. Gave the puck away 3 times on 1 shift.
Too many passengers and that was especially true regarding the teams best players.
The better team won.
It will be over on Sat if these same versions of each team show up again for game 6.

It's funny (or not funny) but I felt the same way. When Miller scored I wasn't even mad, I just sort of....expected it and just went "meh".
The series is still up for grabs but it's obvious that even if they squeak by the Canucks and their 3rd string goalie, the Oilers are easy fodder for the next team. The way Vancouver played tonight (and full credit to them, they played a great game) is the way Colorado and Dallas play every game, it would not be pretty even if they made it to the WCF.

Re-defining Rock Bottom since '07
Ngl we've played better than them for 4/5 games and got Skinned twice. That was a vomit inducing effort tonight and our first completely deserved loss of the series.
Pickard was good. Everyone else can burn the tapes and go on. It's a 7 game series for a reason. Show them some sort of effort on Sat

I remember a game last year against Vegas and we all complained we hadn’t got any PP in previous games, only to have a similar performance where out PP disappeared.

Van played well but Gary’s game managers drive me crazy. It was like we were in the obstruction year.
Exactly right. This was the only game the Canucks really deserved to win. Meanwhile, the Oilers gifted two games due to ECHL goaltending. Pickard will start game 6 and the Oilers will take game 7.

Silver lining: whatever team wins this series is going to be absolutely annihilated by Dallas.
It’s okay we will fire Knob next year and hire some other AHL dude.
Glad McDavid took that extra time to rest at the end of the regular season instead of chasing personal milestones....oh wait

I can't listen to any f***ing sports shows or podcasts because they all tell me how f***ing great Bouchard is, non-f***ing-stop.
I'm 100% convinced they are getting paid for relentless adulation of Bouchard.
