Good period. Edmonton threw everything at us and we did ok with it

 

[helloconga]

how come lots of fans wearing sunglasses today in the arena? am i missing something ? thanks

 

[Flik]

it's a great sign when sticks are blowing up for Petey, means he's flexin

 

[Slapshot_11]

This is gonna be a oilers win because these refs wanna make about themselves and call penalty after penalty

 

[TruKnyte]

Oilers were better that period. We really need to up the energy and win pick battles or they’ll take this one.

 

[AlainVigneaultsGum]

Fun period. Petey looks great.

 

[calnuck]

Pretty even first period. Unlucky broken sticks. Overall can’t complain

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Really nice period from Silovs. Looked way more settled than in Game 1, hope he keeps it up.

It’s gonna be a penalty parade today - our PP and PK need to be sharp.

 

[ziploc]

Feels like we really have to score on every PP because it IS going to be evened up, and they will score.

 

[AzNightmare]

They’d be 2 for 2 if not for an exploding stick…

I'd like to think so....

Really? I thought it was pretty even overall imo

 

[SelltheTeamFrancesco]

Cole, mannnn

That was Zadorov.

 

[quat]

Jeeze, Oilers know where their wins are going to come from. They all just run to the refs no matter who hits them.

At first the Oilers looked really hesitant and shaky but they calmed down later. The key is keeping them not confident. Gotta be in their heads.

 

[Peen]

f***, team is too nervous when McDavid is on ice.

Not sure if nervous is the right word. Think just mismatched. Myers-Soucy was a 1:2 shot ratio pair against Nashville.

And then they had way too many shifts against our fourth line and every single one was spent with them getting shots towards our net.

Tocchet needs to do a better job in the second imo.

 

[Bojack Horvatman]

Can't stand the Oilers gawking around like victims after every call or battle. PP merchants is an understatement.

 

[Canuckle1970]

Get better on the faceoffs, boyz.

 

[crazychimp]

Hyman looking for blood on that high stick, they did a close up on his face earlier in the game I could swear you could already see blood from his nose.

 

[StickShift]

Vancouver ought to be pretty happy that they are generally controlling play at 5v5. Except for those absolute f***ing fire drills.

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

Ugh just don't have a good feeling about this.

We had our moments and you really have to convert on the chances you get against Edmonton. Each powerplay Edmonton gets will be an automatic goal against.

You can tell Edmonton has a jump in this game and are going to get more chances.

Just hoping the refs stop giving us powerplays. 5 v 5 is better.

 

[TruKnyte]

Really? I thought it was pretty even overall imo

Feel like they had the territorial edge and better scoring chances

Can't blame them I guess.

They know that's where their strength is.

 

[ProviesGhost]

Wow the Oilers sure like to lobby the refs LOL. Their top line seemed like it was on for more than half the period. An even strength goal from Pettersson’s line would be massive.

 

[Kryten]

That was Zadorov.

Cole let the puck bounce into the blue after the Silovs dive

 

[thecupismine]

Didn't like the call on Nuge. Not because it wasn't a penalty, but because it was a bit soft, and you know with how refs are they're going to call one back the other way whenever they feel like it

I will say the Oilers crying non-stop after every non-call is not going to endear themselves well to them though.

Period could basically be split into McDavid minutes and non-McDavid minutes. Oilers absolutely caved the Canucks in while he was on the ice, whereas the Canucks were a bit ahead when he wasn't.

Need to be better at taking advantage of the minutes while he's not on the ice, because with that line loaded up there's only so much you can do to contain them before you hope their heavy minutes tire them out.

Also Petey looks like he's back. I swear he scores that if his stick doesn't explode on him there.
