if demko is healthy you gotta go back to him
Still a 'toss-up' series. Oilers won the last one with a last minute goal; and the Canucks returned serve tonight. Arguably their best two periods of hockey in these playoffs in the second and third.
One thing is for certain, if the Canucks take another five minor penalties, the Oilers aren't going to go 0-5 on the PP back at home.
And listening to PDG on the post-game interviews, what an ordeal he's been under. This of course this is the part of players' lives that fans never. So gratifying to see him pot one in this game.
Still a good possibility of a seven-game series. But at least it's the Oilers who will be stewing for the next 48 hours, not the Canucks.

Unless the unthinkable happens and Silovs gets absolutely pasted by the Oilers in Game 6, then I think Demko is the Vezina card to play for Game 7. But if he puts on a clinic and we still unfortunately lose by 1, we probably ride him for the whole series even if Demko is ready.

Damn, I could tell they'd cut Cole back but 12:31 tonight.
I still don't think he'll come out, though. And Juulsen scares the crap out of me.

Few things:
Despite the Canucks dominance through most of that game Silovs came up huge with some very key stops on guys all alone in the slot. What a story that kid has been.
Thought Bluegar played a great game, and was happy to see him fit like a glove back between G & J.
DiGuiseppe looked like he did early in the season on the wing with Miller and Boeser.
EP showing some legit signs of life after being given some actual wingers that require defensive coverage by the other team. He battled tonight, but he also had space for the first time because other teams can usually just ignore Mik and Hog.
And finally, the biggest congrats goes to Tocc for finally getting out of his own way and mixing up the lines. Easy to forget he's still got some learning to do as a head coach in the post season.

Even Draisatil didn't have anywhere near the jump he's had before. McDavid looked downright awful. I think you may be on to something. Between the LA series and grinding them out against out, they seem to be finally running out of gas.
Can't take them lightly on Saturday. We need to come in ready to end the series.
He's GOTTA sit though, no?
I mean seriously. He was a good soldier for us this year, but even during the regular season he showed signs of fatigue, and in this series he's been a liability. He has to come out.....
He needs to be cut back... and he played much better the rest of the game after his horrendous 1st. And that isn't even age-related cardio, it's just poor clears and decision making.
Juulsen drawing in would be horrendous. He's on the right side of 30 and still making boneheaded reads.

Unless he plays an absolute stinker on Saturday and Demko is truly ready to go, I think we see Silovs finish this series. It would be a huge luxury to win this series without Demko and let him rest and come back for Dallas or Colorado. Not counting any chickens before they hatch though.
In other words: Yay fans. Screw you media.
I know he's been less than ideal for this post-season, but god damn man
Very inspired effort by Petey tonight.

but at home, i don’t hate him as the 6th man to give cole a much needed rest. hopefully game 3 against dallas...
