First and foremost big 48 sec to kill the penalty then big 5 mins. Do NOT let them get momentum or score. Boys will need to play a very mature third to close it out. Would love another goal but you SHOULD be able to win 3-1. I’m anxious lol

Agreed. Nucks will push. We need to respond. Start with a huge PK then stay smart and disciplined to close this out.

Start reviewing dives after the games. $5000 fine for the first offence followed with 1 game suspension for the second offence. You'd significantly reduce the diving

They could call embellishment during the game but things happen so fast you could definitely get it wrong some

 

[nexttothemoon]

Skinner was decent in that 2nd when he had to be... after a shaky 1st.

I hope he has an excellent, rock solid 3rd.

 

[bellagiobob]

I f***in said YEARS ago that diving is the new meta in the NHL. Could have seen this coming from a mile away when the League let the Avs dive their way to a Cup.

The refs in this league are f***in stupid. If you ain’t diving to fool them, you aren’t doing everything you can to win in Bettman’s league. Simple as that. It’s not about honor of the players, it’s about the incompetence of the league officiating.

When was the last time an embellishment penalty was called on its own? Like never? Start giving out multiple diving penalties by themselves and I think the diving would slow down.

Ok kiddo is in bed. Can tune in for the third. Let’s go get this. More bouch bombs please

This is right here. It will stop real quick. The first year they do will be weird but the players will figure it out

 

[Arty Spooners Bsmnt]

Knob needs to use all 4 lines to do so. McDavid already at 15 mins

A third of them power play.

 

[Drivesaitl]

This is about the least intense elimination game I've ever seen. Oilers checked out in first and Nucks don't care in 2nd.

not sure if its both teams being sick but what an awful level of play.

These teams are basically battling to get a Death sentence in Dallas.

Just something missing in this game.

Bouchard will be KEY to any chance we have at keeping McDrai. Need to keep that in mind as Toronto sports media takes any opportunity to bring him down.

Execution is not on the level of Dallas-Colorado games. But I think the effort is there.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

20 more minutes, do what you did all year, let's Go Oilers!!

 

[RegDunlop]

Here we go fellas
Buckle up

I always found it dumb they call both. It’s either a dive or it isn’t why call a dive and a hook hack or trip? If the guy dove it should be the only call period.

It really has looked like an AHL series compared to the Dallas series.

 

[RattsSSV]

There's 2, good job boys.

 

[walktheboulavard]

McDavid can't even accept a pass. How injured is the guy

Execution is off not sure this team looks so out of sorts in such big games

 

[JeffSkinner53]

Good job

 

[TheNumber4]

Good kill. Now close this f***in game out. Let’s go Oilers!

 

[dssource]

Huge kill!

Now let's see what we learned from game 1.

 

[Drivesaitl]

It really has looked like an AHL series compared to the Dallas series.

I'm reminded of WHA. Strangely. That Hyman goal, being ramped by the Nucks D right into own net. Thats a WHA type goal. lol. Just very little going on in the game. When the shots were 4-4 I thought I was watching the Nashville series again. my lord.

 

[Lay Z Boy GM]

Stellar pk this game

 

[Pavel10]

Canucks never miss a chance to make mcdavid and drai feel a hit.

I am so fed up with nothing being done to Hughes and Pettersson.

 

[NedPlimpton]

I appreciate the shot.

 

[iCanada]

Huge kill!

Now let's see what we learned from game 1.

What Skinner has learned from game 1. The rest of the team likely deserved to win based on that third.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Silovs shaky
come on fellas
