You thrust your pelvis, huh!
I’m starting to think the coach hasn’t figured it out yet.Shocking to who? Ken Holland? Everyone else knew that they were f***ing garbage.

For good measure Zadorov sticks him in the back two times with two handers and Drai didn't even have the puck. Wouldn't even have been called without Drai retaliating.Looked like a non-contact back injury midway through the 2nd period. Oilers were up 4-1 and him coming up lame 10 seconds in the shift seemed to spook the whole team. They played like crap right after that.
I'm not expecting the Oilers to get more than one power play per game in this series. Drai gets dragged to the box when there should have only been one penalty called there. If he didn't slash the clown back there would have been zero penalties. The Holland penalty was a joke as was Browns. Vancouver embelleshed on both those calls.McD hasn't shown up in a single game against the Canucks this season. What is his issue performing against this club? He botched several pass receptions 3 that would have been breakaways. His passing was to the Nucks most of the night. At no point did McDavid really bring much of anything. How do you play a game 1 this lacksadaisical? EV, McD hasn't shown up in playoffs yet. WE only got the one PP.
Drai will play. And of course we can salvage this. It’s only 1 game. A 1 goal game at that.That 3rd period could not have possibly been worse. All that waiting for the series to start and we get embarrassed in front of entire country tonight when it looked like we had the game in the bag earlier on!
If Draisaitl can't play and we lose the next game, get ready for the most embarrassing playoff elimination in franchise history. We can still salvage this but Nurse and the usual suspects can't keep playing like idiots!
The odds are high that Ekholm and Ceci not scoring.
Ya there’s something there, but I swear we don’t give up real goals some games.I'm convinced these "fluky" goals on Skinner are 100% intentional.
They are. They're not fluky when they happen on a regularly occurring basis. Teams know he's prone to weak goals against.I'm convinced these "fluky" goals on Skinner are 100% intentional.
If he's not hurt, maybe too many miles with too much ice time last 3 years? Load management may be neededThat one breakaway chance, old McDavid always at least gets a shot on net. Very few quick pivots. I can't believe he's not injured
22 minutes without a shot after this goalie lets in two bad goals was just so frustrating. My son and I said to start the third next goal wins.Thats fair comment but thats also revisionist. The Oilers got the goals, thats defacto part of how things went. Score effects and all Nucks were playing at home and down 2-3 goals multiple times. Oilers felt they had enough. thats a mistake with Skinner in net.
This kind of underlines my point that Skinner results in Kings series were misleading becasue the only King feeling it, at all, was Kempe.
Hollland didn't play. He didn't do much all offseason.I'm not expecting the Oilers to get more than one power play per game in this series. Drai gets dragged to the box when there should have only been one penalty called there. If he didn't slash the clown back there would have been zero penalties.

Didn’t you lose your underwear too?I feel like I wasted a lot of beer tonight.

He definitely has some playoff games where he’s pretty invisible. Just doesn’t seem to fight through the contact.What are the odds that McDavid does sweet f*** all all series? Or the rest of the top 6 not named Hyman?
The Canucks absolutely owned the Oilers in the 2nd half of the game.
They completely neutralized McDavid in this game. He was a non factor and if you can do that to McDavid then you have a much much better chance of beating the Oilers. Thats exactly what the Canucks did and the refs helped.
Then there was Mr $9.25M...what a joke Darnell Nurse is. He should be the best dman on the ice most of the time instead he is a liability. The Canucks absolutely dominated the Nurse pairing.
The Oilers highest paid pairing.
Nurse should feel ashamed everytime he gets paid.
The Oilers also didnt create enough in this game. The Canucks didnt even get good goaltending in this game. The Oiler had what...one shot in the 3rd period?
That is brutal.
That should have been an automatic win with a 3 goal lead instead the boys choked in the big moment.
They can recover from this but there is no candy coating this loss...it is a devastating loss.
At this point in time I wouldnt be surprised if the Oilers have to be wondering if they can even beat the Canucks.
Now we find out how much instestinal fortitude this team has because the pressure is squarely on them for game 2. Lose that game after choking on this game and the series will be in serious jeopardy.
look at his centerPerry has done f*** all this playoffs. Why did we even bother getting him?
I don't think they were gonna call anything until the retaliation tbh.And maybe not slash back in retaliation would help the team too.. it was game over if Zadorov went in the box by himself.
A lot of people blaming the D and the goaltending but 7 shots in 40 minutes just isn’t it. They stopped playing at 4-1. This is the playoffs. That can’t happen.
We didn't really get to test that, given the lack of shots...So our starting goalie is worse than their third stringer? Good luck sleeping tonight all. I'll be grinding my teeth into dust.
