WCSF: Game 4 - Edmonton Oilers vs Vancouver Canucks, 7:30pm, ESPN

[Cup or Bust]

Even Nurse looked good with Ceci no longer playing with him.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

That Ian Cole dive at the end of the first should have Tocchet and Canucks fans in shambles.

Their team doesnt do that!

Oilers played very well tonight. The best game ive seen them play in the playoffs tbh, they were dialed defensively. They responded big time & the Canucks didn't match their compete.

At the start of game 3 the Canucks were hitting hard & the physical play continued on all game.

Tonight the Canucks had like 3 hits all game, and when they did hit it usually led to a turnover (as we also saw with Kane on the winning goal), but far too much puck watching tonight, didn't battle for loose pucks, EDM won all the battles, just a very soft effort.

Not to take away from the Oilers who did play great, but from our pov the Canucks didn't compete hard enough imo.

nope

Game 3 in LA was a clinic

 

[Dust]

Oh right. I guess they are drawing a parallel to the Soucey crosscheck on McDavid.

It's kind of funny because there is something to it, it's just that instead of Zadorov giving the shot in the back, this time it's just Myers inability to skate that made him go stumble akwardly towards Kane.

 

[McFlyingV]

Hopefully this play comes with a contract extension that dwarfs what Hughes makes

Quinn has 3 more years at 7.85 and then he'll get 14 minimum thanks to his Norris this year combined with a rising cap.

 

[StoveTopStauffer]

Came out hitting the Oilers all over the ice, capitalized on bad defensive play by EDM & locked it down especially in the 3rd.

Playing against a Stuart Skinner makes your game seem better than it is. It's artificial.

 

[TheNumber4]

Hope Nucks enjoyed that cheap shot on McDavid. It cost them huge tonight.

 

[logan5]

Yeah which is f***ing comical.

Why bother going to Twitter for hockey convo?

 

[syz]

Difficult to judge Pickard's game tonight considering how little the Canucks managed to generate offensively again, though Skinner has lost games like that already in this series so I dunno. Got beat by a couple of pin balls but that doesn't tell us much.

 

[LTIR]

Even Nurse looked good with Ceci no longer playing with him.

He did??
Ceci still looked sub par and Nurse wasn't that great either. Bad penalty and on for both goals against scoring one on his own goalie.

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

nope

Game 3 in LA was a clinic

It was more clinical as far as being connected but LA sucks, tonight the Oilers defended with an elevated compete level.

I don't think we've seen both teams bring their best game in the same game yet. Maybe game 5 will finally be the one.

The mainboards here are generally equivalent outside of a few good posters.

Skinner had 0 chance on 3/4 goals in that one. Pickard sure as hell wouldn't have won it

LA would beat the Canucks. Skinner is the only reason this series is 2-2, not sure how a neutral thinks the Canucks deserve the results they are getting right now.

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

Quinn has 3 more years at 7.85 and then he'll get 14 minimum thanks to his Norris this year combined with a rising cap.

And no one in Vancouver will have an issue with it

 

[CokenoPepsi]

Have to think this is going 7 now

 

[HairyKneel]

Ike Turner crosschecks Myers in the grill and got a double minor for high sticking. What a league. Guy is a gutless piece of shit.

I thought Craig Simpson was going to rub one out when the Oilers got the winning goal. I think Chris Cuthbert did him a solid. I’d rather listen to Bernie Pascall and Howie Meeker than these two cheerleaders. The panel is disgusting without the one person who just analyzes the game instead of navel gazing. Why is Luke Gazdic there? What did he have 8 shots on goal in his whole career? He made Wade Brookhank look like a stud. Was Kevin McClelland not available? Or Don Jackson?

Canucks would sweep the Oilers without Ian Cole, we can both play this game.

Yawn

Watching an Oilers goalie play a decent average game magnifies just how bad Skinner has been.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Tocchet is gonna be upset

Show of support for Elon Musk

Only gave us 1 goal, Skinner gave you about 4.

OK. never go there

No chance? Yeah sure both Boeser goals were challenging stops but maybe rewatch them and look at Skinner's positioning. He's not even square on either goal and he's cowering in his net hoping if he covers the easy areas it will hit him. You can see the complete lack of confidence in his game and despite me thinking he not very good, even he can look much better than that and stop those shots when he has confidence.
