I do agree Skinner has let in some weak goals in this series for sure, but don't think it's been nearly egregious. You have Boeser walking in from the slot wide open in 2 of the goals, 1 tip from Lindholm and the other Lindholm was pretty much wide open in front of the net. If Edmonton can fix their defensive woes, then this series gets interesting.

Do you think they went on the submarine ride yesterday for inspiration?

Zadorov grabs McDavid and Draisaitl by the backs of their heads, bonks their heads together like Hulk Hogan in a tag team match, dropping the two of them to the ice where they flop around like a pair of beached seals. Zadorov then laughs maniacally and skates aways as McDavid and Draisaitl plead to the referee for a call that never comes, because he hates McDavid and Draisaitl just as much as everyone not from Edmonton.
I went to game 2, it might have been the worst officiated game I've ever seen. Even if Canucks fans came in with the mindset of these 'conspiracies', the refs have done nothing but validate those conspiracies.

The Oilers faults doesn’t change the conspiracy being peddled by the Canucks side.
Not quite. The threads are public and it’s the opposite. Canuck fans were openly mocking a brutal play to the neck/head/spine of a player.
Again, not sure why everyone is getting butthurt.
Me stating that the coach, fans and now players are all peddling an anti-Canucks conspiracy is true. And embarrassing.

No, playing victim and peddling a conspiracy is very embarrassing.
Our goaltending/deployment is also embarrassing, sure - not sure why that’s a point against what I said though.

It's also insane to me that EDM refuses to put Stetcher in for Ceci, but their loss is our gain lol so please continue!

This isn’t even true. Canucks have been in the playoffs once in the past 9 years.

Once in a while Canucks have stinkers and they’re due for one so I am expecting a blowout loss to the Oilers.

Thank god Hockey is a team sport then.
Weird. Reading the comments on here the past week, I was under the impression that the Canucks were perennial Stanley Cup contenders.

It's only a team sport if you can't play five people for the entire game

Absolutely nobody has them as contenders this year, every single media person except for one had the Oilers winning
Zad definitely deserved a penalty here, and it was worth it. I understand the anger from Oily Boy fans over the bench interference penalty that evened things up, but them's the rules. In fact, they didn't issue a game misconduct for the player who did it, so they actually went soft on Edmonton. But that turned into our advantage as well because I believe the offending party was Foegele, and we want him out there as often as possible.

Yep Oilers are going to be fired up and Nucks have a top4 D out of the lineup. I expect a similar game to game 2, not expecting a Nucks win tonight

What I think is going to happen is they are going to have them on different lines tonight, and by the end of this first period, drai and McDavid are gonna be back together for the second half of the game 100%.
It’s the only formula they have a chance, they can’t touch canucks depth

Get real. Most Canuck fans have been saying the team is a lot better than the Oilers fanbase is giving them credit for. Most Oilers fans were predicting a sweep or at worst a series win in 5. Canucks fan were laughing at the ego of the Oilers fanbase.
