Can’t be much worse than the second period they just played… need our best players to take over. Maybe overload Connor and Leon and have them play most of the period again.

I mean, they can absolutely be worse and we have seen them do it. Lol

 

[oobga]

Welp. Playing pretty bad but have a chance to win still. Better have a huge third period

 

[elmeroil]

Doubt

I mean, that's not surprising!

 

[rec28]

The SNW nucks fan club, bunch of idiots.

It’s really over the top tonight. Virtually every feature is focused on the nucks with a side of what thy need to do to win (and, oh yeah, commiserating with Van coaches about the penalties)

 

[McDrai]

If McDavid can’t elevate I don’t see us ever going far. I guess we see what the third holds

He’s Marnering in this one. McDavid needs to elevate in games like this if we want to take the next step

 

[Ibanez]

Put Adam Foote's nose in net.

I laughed. Spit some root beer out

 

[Mr Positive]

Tocchet is such a whiner.

Idk seems to be doing his job. To win a cup you have to use every resource

 

[scotchtapejr]

Had to miss the 2nd period, and judging from the stats tonight it looks as though the Canucks are throwing everything they have at the Oil, though with less success than they'd probably like.

Oh well, all teams play shit periods; the scoreboard says that it's a tie game heading into the 3rd. Time to see if this team is ready to show the mettle of a true contender.

Bro. So jealous of you.

 

[snag]

Is Elliot allowed to say bum rush lol

 

[Ibanez]

He’s Marnering in this one. McDavid needs to elevate in games like this if we want to take the next step

Playing so perimeter. It’s tough to watch

 

[Ritchie Valens]

When the team doesn't improve year after year in the playoffs, is that not on the leadership? I genuinely don't know anymore

GM built the team, it’s on him in my opinion. Can’t force chemistry and this team looked like it was the first time they played with each other in that second

 

[KarmaPolice]

Think they gotta ride a line of Hyman-McDavid-Drai hard in the 3rd, and hope these guys can get something done.

 

[snipes]

Let’s go!!

Get pucks on net and come out flying.

 

[CupofOil]

I don't know but no one on the team, inclusive of coach has any animation.

There might be something to this. The Oilers have always had passive coaches and the team takes on the coach's personality. Tocchet lights into his team and look at what we're seeing tonight.

 

[MoontoScott]

Need a Ranger's type 3 period here.

Shoot the puck from everywhere.

 

[GrumpyKoala]

Tocheet would yell at the cashier and call the manager over a grape falling out of the bag

f***ing Karen...

 

[Mav3rick07]

Deserve to win O-Meter currently has Canucks at 81 percent and Oilers at 19.

Sigh.

 

[CycloneSweep]

No way. McDavid and Hyman are horrible tonight.

 

[TheNumber4]

Need our absolute best in the 3rd. Oilers can do it and take this game over.

Beleiveeeeeeeeee

 

[Oilers in NS]

got dominated that period but all we need to do is win period.

 

[Oilhawks]

GM built the team, it’s on him in my opinion. Can’t force chemistry and this team looked like it was the first time they played with each other in that second

But they've looked good most of the rest of the playoffs

So what gives?

 

[Drivesaitl]

We really are the ‘72 Soviet Union

We have to pass 10X suddenly before we shoot. New rule for first line and PP. ffs.

We were a volume chance PP all season. Now we're killing our PP's

 

[frag2]

Seriously. How do you get outworked so badly in a playoff game, a pivotal one at that. It's been an ongoing problem with this core, only showing up occasionally. The support players showed up today but the Oilers aren't beating a very good Canucks team on the road with only the support players showing up. This is quite likely the McDrai Oiler legacy on the line in this 3rd period, do they want to go out like THIS?

No kidding. Mcd has been beyond disappointing this series

 

[CycloneSweep]

Deserve to win O-Meter currently has Canucks at 81 percent and Oilers at 19.

Sigh.

That generous for us?

Plus after Pickard let in a bit of a questionable one in the first, he's been pretty great. He stopped some tough deflections in there too
