You can’t even blame Silovs for some of those, and where are the shot blocks from the point. The preds game plan can still work here.

 

[Petey O]

Without Drai, you look to a guy like Pettersson to feast.

Hell, they don't even have Henrique either. You HAVE to start having that Pettersson line consistently winning its matchups if true.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

If Drai is not returning

Run the lotto line for the entire 3rd

 

[Vector]

Still in it. Skinner and the Oiler’s defensive structure is way more beatable than the Predators. The problem is they’ve scored on every mistake a couple that were harmless.

 

[VanJack]

What's disappointing about this game so far, is that except or a few forays, the Canucks haven't been able to establish their forecheck at all. They look the L.A. Kings out there, constantly falling back and giving up the neutral zone to the Oilers.

If that doesn't change in a hurry--this series might not go as long as some are hoping for.

 

[PG Canuck]

Man….Tocchet needs to go to 649 with just McDavid now. Load it up and push

 

[Nopefully]

Win da turd boys!!

 

[Donuts]

There was an interview, might have been linden saying ep needs to be in this fight for canucks to have a chance winning this series.

Looked like canucks were trying to set up ep a few times on their powerplay. They need him to match oilers offense

 

[Peen]

the funniest pre series narrative was that silovs was better than skinner

 

[bbud]

Pundits predicted that in the end, it might come down to goaltending in this series. And right now the Oilers have a big edge, whether the Canucks play Silovs or DeSmith.

Beat skinner twice in 3rd he is toast now go to work do that

 

[biturbo19]

The way he came out, tested his skating and pulled the chute I’d guess a groin/hamstring. Didn’t look minor.

I've also seen Drats make mincemeat of the Los Angeles Kings on one half groin. So that's still a thing that can happen. But yeah. Weird non-contact injuries are often some of the worst.

 

[3rd Sedin]

No reason we can’t win this series or this game for that matter. We need a save and Cole is not a name we should be thinking about every 90 seconds.

 

[NoShowWilly]

Pettersson miller boeser
Suter lindholm mikhayev
Joshua blueger garland
Bench the 4th

[Flik]

Beat skinner twice in 3rd he is toast now go to work do that

Amen

 

[LordBacon]

WEEN DAH TURD

[StickShift]

If Draisaitl is out the rest of the game—I want to see them unite the Lotto line in the third and double-shift Hughes.

They need their ‘Colorado’ moment where they demonstrate that they can score on demand.

 

[Petey O]

Yeah he's ****ed.

 

[HockeyWooot]

Throwing the game away, Edmonton haven’t been the better team. Winnable.

Arty needed to make routine stops on goals 3 and 4. Too many men in the early seconds, gotta be sharper than that.

 

[Flik]

Ooooof.

I f***ing love Drai, that'd be terrible if he was seriously hurt

 

[M2Beezy]

We need goals

Why are we refusing to lotto line

Just doubleshift Joshua Lindholm Garland. On fire

 

[brock hughes007]

Pods needs to be in this line up against Edmonton,,PDG sucks.Get Joshua on the 1st init pp ffs.Cole needs to be scratched next game.

 

[Jovofan]

Not even mad at the score right now, still think we can win this game. Even if we don't, I'm not worried about Edmonton being the better team, I have confidence we'll make the adjustments.

 

[PG Canuck]

If Dari’s injury was non-contact that could be terrible for him
