Best pressure of the game! Need to be quicker with the shots. Pickard is tracking the puck well.

The doom and gloom here after one period is a little much.

The team has made some incredible accomplishments to get here and is up in the series. They're down a goal and can make it interesting by playing as they've down before.

We can't match McDrai but the Oilers played two desperate games and only managed to split 1-goal games. Finding ways to win over and over is impressive.

The only sustaining concern is the PP and Pettersson's compete level.

I think folks were hyping themselves up with Pickard coming in and expecting the Canucks to light him up like a Christmas tree and when that didn't happen, panic set in.

Oilers were going to go one of two routes, either losing their minds and getting emotional or bringing the play to the Canucks. They went with the latter approach, and now Vancouver needs to start the pushback.

They're starting to show signs of life, although holy crap Hronek that sure seemed a panic shot that I'd do in beer leagues, lmao.

Cole is completely out of his element. He doesn't have the stamina to be playing at this time of year anymore. He's on fumes and making one bad play after another. Literally any other player would be better for the team than him. How can the coaches not see this?!?

Hronek has been awful. Can't hold the puck in on basic plays and consistently makes the wrong decisions. Incredibly hesitant signing him long term.
