6 goals on 26 shots this series.

0.769% this series.

Not gonna cut it.

Nobody cares about the context-less stats like that. The Oilers powerplay is gonna do that. Silovs have a few weaker goals last game, but it's not like DeSmith isn't prone to the same. Or that most goaltenders don't have a totally garbage SV% against the Oilers powerplay.

 

[Bgav]

Edm is ass lol

 

[Slapshot_11]

Can't believe we gave them that 2nd goal absolutely brutal

 

[Nomobo]

Is Demko getting close?

 

[biturbo19]

Hoglander f***ing fanned on it man

I’m sick of this shit, this off-season. We better get two top six winners to play with Elias.

I like the idea of getting winners to play with Petey.

 

[Flik]

Petey line going to carry us to victory tonight

 

[TruKnyte]

Respecting him too much - need to take his space and lay the body on him

Looks like they have Hughes and Hronek out when he’s on the ice. Probably not the right personnel on D if that’s the goal. Seems like they want better skaters to stick with him and/or McDavid

 

[LordBacon]

Is Demko getting close?

idk about him but I am.

 

[EpochLink]

Pettersson is on a mission tonight

Win the face-off, score. Lose the face-off, get scored on Miller's got to lock in on these draws.

D-zone coverage has to literally be perfect at every second against the McDavid line, these guys are so good that a split second mishap gets giga punished. Not an easy task - Drai + Crosby look like souped up version of Malkin + Crosby, and I never thought I'd say that in my lifetime.

Outside of that top unit the entire Oilers team looks like garbage, need to take advantage.

Casey DeSmith is 2-1-0 with a 2.60 GAA and a .933 save percentage in five career games against Edmonton. 3 of those games were this season, against this Oiler's powerplay.

 

[Canucks LB]

Petey save us

 

[Leif Rohlin]

Imagine if Pettersson had even 1 winger who could do something useful

 

[WTG]

Reserved for Silovs shutout

 

[Ninebreaker]

Boeser is not skating today and looks lost in the d zone. Must be injured.

 

[Lat]

It looks like they've shifted Hughes-Myers and Soucy-Hronek to be the d pairings. Not a huge fan as we know how bad Hughes-Myers has been historically.

 

[CpatainCanuck]

The Oilers are 2 superstars and a bunch of role players. You can almost see the ice tilt when McDavid steps on the ice

 

[M2Beezy]

Time to bench Lafferty how do you miss that

 

[Red]

this game feels weird

 

[TruKnyte]

These fans are so dumb, enough with the Skinner chants

 

[LordBacon]

stop chanting skinner WTF

 

[Slapshot_11]

You waste a offensive zone with that nurse pairing with the 4th line holy f***

And these idiots chanting skinner after he made a big save

 

[Jovofan]

We better get two top six winners to play with Elias.

100% agree. I hope that Lekk makes the team out of camp next year.

 

[Ace of Hades]

Pettersson has been by far the best Canuck tonight

I legitimately do not care about this factoid whatsoever. It has next to zero bearing on anything on the ice. It's a tiny sample including some absolutely goofy games.

Hockey is played on the ice, not the stat sheet afterwards.
