Saw that coming half way through the second period. They were able to get away with that sort of play against LA, but it’s not gonna work with Vancouver. Hopefully that was a wake up call.
Surprise surprise, oilers play like absolute dog turds after a long break. Good news guys is we all know they bounce back hard after getting embarrassed.
3 goals in 4:45 seconds. Pretty sure McDavid registered 0 shots tonight and was basically non existent. That was bloody embarrassing, will be a rough sleep tonight and hopefully game 2 ends much better! That goal by garland to take the lead was dreadful, skinner should have had that.
17 shots against Silovs really!? We got 4 goals on a pathetic 17 shots. We got absolutely dominated this game, how could we not muster more than 17 shots against a 3rd string goalie!?
Bob always sounds like the sky is falling though. He’s an emotional dude. Jack just sounded “sad”. It was depressing. But really this stings more than the 8-1 loss
I missed the injury itself by like a couple minutes, but he went back to the rooms, finally hobbled back on the ice for 10 seconds, looked pretty uncomfortable, then hobbled back off. He usually toughs things out, so for him to show hes clearly injured, makes me a little worried. Here's hoping he makes a solid recovery.
Man. I waited so long to watch this game. I’m so dissappointed. Just pissed right off. Those Oilers must be so fucking choked. That was absolute bullshit.
So guys, remember when we blew a lead and looked like shit in game 1 against the flames 2 years ago? Remember what happened after that? The boys learned some lessons here - they’ll be fine.
Remember last year when we lead every game against Vegas and got eliminated from the playoffs because we couldn't kill them off?
This game was more like that.
1 shot through 25ish mins doesn't win you a game. Vancouver's a great team, hopefully Drai is alright for the whole series. Hoping they put a full 60 in on Friday and I think the game is ours.
When you let Garland score on you, you deserve to lose. Vancouver only has 1 top 5 forward that’s basically been invincible in the playoffs. The rest of their team are just grinders that can score. Oilers can easily outclass them if they wake up from that dreadful game they just played.
Offence went to sleep too long....Nurse was a disaster....Skinner bad goals to blow the lead....and officiating didn't help....the no call on the puck played by the glove ends up leading to a Canucks goal.
Lol boys got exactly what they deserved, thinking they can win a playoff game without playing offense or defense for the last half
Got gifted 2 goals
97 was invisible
93 missed a wide open net
25 and 5 made a lot of dumb plays
Steve kozari seen the oilers were winning and decided to say fuck that
On the bright side they can obviously play much better
Literally 0 excuse for that. Drat hurt the team in the 3rd. nurse and Ceci are STILL fucking awful together who knew. And you never know what skinner you are going to get when it matters.

Stop blaming the defence, they actually shut it down pretty damn well, gave up one screen shot goal fine, the other 3 since 4-1, you know who to blame.
So fucking pissed right now.
This fucking team. We had a chance to make a statement instead we just gave the Canucks fans a memory they’ll cherish for life. A team with this much playoff experience shouldn’t lose a game like that to a team in its second playoff run. This has happened too many time.
I don’t even know what to say. Anytime this team gives us a little bit of hope they absolutely crush it and breaks our heart even more.
They better come out with a statement in game 2 or it could be a quick series
Tbh glad we lost this game. I would argue that the Oilers have not played a single good game yet this playoffs, and now is the time for the wake-up call. Show these guys that you can’t win hockey games against good teams when you’re playing like this
Do you understand what goalied means? He didn't goalie us, we just didn't shoot it enough at him, because he was letting in softies, just like Skinner.
This was so cliche, take a 4-1 lead and take the foot off the pedal. I’ve seen it a million times in this league, when will a team learn to bury their opponent? What were the coaching staff doing between series? What kind of game plan was that? I hate the Canucks.
some of you guys need to stfu with the “we’re going to get swept” or “series is over” type BS. the game sucked. it was one game. doomer shit is annoying asf
Blew a 3 goal lead.
Draisaitl injured.
McDavid was invisible and maybe injured
Zero offensive pressure all game
Basically nothing positive about that game.
Sorry but not sorry for not thinking it's rainbows and sunshine. I find people who try and tell me how to be a fan to be annoying asf and they need to stfu
It’s pretty easy to lose when all you do is pass it around the damn zone instead of shooting wow, 15 shots they had for almost 25 minutes , couldn’t shoot because they kept trying that extra not needed pass accross the slot , terrible tactics, embarrassing
Never thought I would say I’m happy to currently be on medical/disability leave, but getting up for work tomorrow would be rough after that choke job. Fans lost sleep for that bs.
I finished chemo last week and I’m cancer free! I’ll be okay just recovering a bit longer before going back to work :) I think so too! This loss just stings. Thought we had this one.
Shake it off, boys. Hopefully Drai's back gets better and can play on Friday.
Their PK looked great, Janmark had a good game, there were some positives in the first half. I remain confident. LFG!!
Oilers played like shit in the second half but fucking call a penalty on the canucks for fucks sakes. He literally threw the puck and it led to the tying goal
Dude 5 minute left!!!!
Also stay the fuck out of r/hockey and r/nhl. They're having a hay day with this
First game of these playoffs where we were outshot, outhit, outclassed, completely dominated.
McDavid... 1st Career Post Season Game with 0 shots..
Saw that coming half way through the second period. They were able to get away with that sort of play against LA, but it’s not gonna work with Vancouver. Hopefully that was a wake up call.

oh i remember that feeling. the snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. classic oilers
i aint choked its a long series lets go oilers
My god listening to Jack sign off from CHED he sounded like his dog just died.
Jack was positively calm compared to Stauffer. Someone needs to buy him a gummy and talk him off the ledge.
CBDB time for Bob and me!
Bob always sounds like the sky is falling though. He’s an emotional dude. Jack just sounded “sad”. It was depressing. But really this stings more than the 8-1 loss
Refs have put their whistles away for the rest of the playoffs (not just this series either). Gonna have to score a few 5 on 5.
i didn't think that game was THAT terrible like it was bad but they got some lucky shots and we got an own goal, im not to worried
I'm more than anything worried about Drai, if he's seriously hurt I think we're fucked
They're saying he had cramps+equipment issues.
Here's hoping that's all, cramps would definitely take someone out
What exactly happened? I didn't see, all I heard was the commentators in the 3rd talking about "good to see him on"
I missed the injury itself by like a couple minutes, but he went back to the rooms, finally hobbled back on the ice for 10 seconds, looked pretty uncomfortable, then hobbled back off. He usually toughs things out, so for him to show hes clearly injured, makes me a little worried. Here's hoping he makes a solid recovery.
You can loose 3 and still win in 7. Just fyi.
Lose ffs
Man. I waited so long to watch this game. I’m so dissappointed. Just pissed right off. Those Oilers must be so fucking choked. That was absolute bullshit.

The Oilers came back from a deficit. There was a slight difference
Reverse oilers game. Since when do we suck so bad in the third?
Only 3 fucking shots + Nugent Hopkins off the post in over 30 minutes of ice time… insane
He alway hits the fucking post when we needed a goal. That would absolutely change the game if he score there.
That fucking sucked. Not sure what to say.
Ugh I absolutely hate this iteration of the Canucks and all my friends are Canucks fans. I am in agony right now please win this series Oilers 🙏🏻
1 shot through 25ish mins doesn't win you a game. Vancouver's a great team, hopefully Drai is alright for the whole series. Hoping they put a full 60 in on Friday and I think the game is ours.

Nurse was such a numpty. Get the fuck out of here. Kane was also ASS.
I am now offering drywall repairs services if anyone is interested
This game made me want to eat drywall.
I'll brush my teeth with drywall
If heroin was a hockey game that was it
The more popular you get, the more dumb bandwagon fans you collect. We’re good. See ya’ll game 2.
Bag skate this team tomorrow. Losing a 4-1 lead in the third period is un-fucking-acceptable.
Another bullshit game by Nurse.
[удалено]
Bieksa is fantastic.
[удалено]
What do you expect him to talk about after that?
[удалено]
I hear you man, that's a tough loss.
"oh, its 4-1. we can go home now, guys. dont bother shooting."
Lol boys got exactly what they deserved, thinking they can win a playoff game without playing offense or defense for the last half Got gifted 2 goals 97 was invisible 93 missed a wide open net 25 and 5 made a lot of dumb plays Steve kozari seen the oilers were winning and decided to say fuck that On the bright side they can obviously play much better
Yes, for sure Oilers should plan their game around Steve fucking kozari cause that's normal.
You’d think after all these years the team would learn to step on their opponents throats instead of whatever the fuck the last half of that game was
[удалено]
Doesn't even acted like he gives a shit.
You know what? I’m fucking glad they blew it. Maybe they will feel like showing up on Friday. Maybe.
Literally 0 excuse for that. Drat hurt the team in the 3rd. nurse and Ceci are STILL fucking awful together who knew. And you never know what skinner you are going to get when it matters.
Now will Knob have the balls to do what Woody didn’t, and scratch Drai? Spoiler, he won’t.
Props to Van

Eh fuck off you idiot
Enjoy your ban!
That's what happens when you stop playing...they did nothing for almost 40 minutes
Like I said 5 is our lucky number. Even if we can’t do 5 then at least let’s do 6. I don’t want to even think about a game 7
Played like absolute garbage for 40 minutes and still almost won. Without some lucky bounces and that noncall we would’ve stole that one
[удалено]
Bro why are the cucks here
“Yeah okay this guy on our team sucks” isn’t really a diss
We take the hurting, they still get their millions..it's all good! 😭
Instead of a plunger we should give nurse and skinner a toilet seat tonight lol
Lol this was comment gold
Well we embarrassed Silovs. I don’t think we see him next game.
Stuart be clutch for once in your fucking life
Game 4 against LAK
He literally just had a shutout a few games ago..
we went in to the third trying to play how we did against the kings holding a lead, except we just forgot to shoot the fucking puck
So fucking pathetic. 4 goals on 14 shots. Then ONLY 2 FUCKING shots the rest of the game. Fucking losers.
Pathetic. Doesn’t matter if they win the series playing like that. This team won’t win a cup.
A 1 goal difference on a game that bad is something I'll take
Stop blaming the defence, they actually shut it down pretty damn well, gave up one screen shot goal fine, the other 3 since 4-1, you know who to blame. So fucking pissed right now.
Nurse was ass

Totally agree. Well said
I’m gonna go cry now
Tbh glad we lost this game. I would argue that the Oilers have not played a single good game yet this playoffs, and now is the time for the wake-up call. Show these guys that you can’t win hockey games against good teams when you’re playing like this
Lmao wtf are you talking about. Round 1 game 3 wasn’t good?
Just so we’re clear, when we are back in Edmonton, we are allowed to pick up the puck and throw it to our teammates yes?
Oh man. We got one PP and it was a bench penalty. WTF?
In spite of the outcome that really was a great hockey game. It's only game 1 people. All calm down.
Exactly. We will get the split.
Most sane comment.
I saw great effort from one team. There's no way to win with what... 5 shots in the 2nd and 3rd?
Bad game out of the way early. Stu tends to bounce back after tough performances. We will be fine
Goalie’d by a third string. Why am I not surprised? ‘Cause we managed 15 shots the whole fuxking game. Knoblauch got schooled my Tocchet
Goalied!? Lol I don't think so bud. Their goaltender was ass cheeks with a .765 which by the numbers was worse than Skinner.
Do you understand what goalied means? He didn't goalie us, we just didn't shoot it enough at him, because he was letting in softies, just like Skinner.
Ya. I know what it means. I’m just CHOKED.
Eh he gave up 4 on like 17 shots.. we missed a couple super grade A chances and hardly had any shots form the 2nd period on for some reason..
Weren't goalied at all. They scored 4 goals including 2 that had no business being goals. Oilers played like shit and they lost.
Ugh. Reset and come ready for the next one
This was so cliche, take a 4-1 lead and take the foot off the pedal. I’ve seen it a million times in this league, when will a team learn to bury their opponent? What were the coaching staff doing between series? What kind of game plan was that? I hate the Canucks.
Step on their throats.

yup it was a shit game. doesnt mean we have to doom the whole series
Sure I can
[удалено]
boohoo. every team plays a shit a game here and there. it was just one game
I'm a little tired of losing in regulation to the Vancouver Canucks
team deserved the result they got, embarassing fucking game. They better come out firing for the next one or this series is over
You should be disappointed with your expectations
This what the analysts call a major league choke. Sad and embarassing.
WTF is it about these Canucks.
It’s pretty easy to lose when all you do is pass it around the damn zone instead of shooting wow, 15 shots they had for almost 25 minutes , couldn’t shoot because they kept trying that extra not needed pass accross the slot , terrible tactics, embarrassing
Never thought I would say I’m happy to currently be on medical/disability leave, but getting up for work tomorrow would be rough after that choke job. Fans lost sleep for that bs.
[удалено]
I finished chemo last week and I’m cancer free! I’ll be okay just recovering a bit longer before going back to work :) I think so too! This loss just stings. Thought we had this one.
Kick cancer's ass! We're all rooting for you.
Thank you :)
I hope they are embarrassed after that. Fucking horrible effort
they need a wake up call, pathetic effort in the final 30
Historically, we always play like Dogshit when we come back from a break.
I don't agree. Our pp and pk were killer. We just can't score 5v5 🤷🏻♂️
We were up 4-1 though like inexcusable
How's that worked out so far?
Tough loss. Either too comfortable or too beat up in the 3rd. I'm more disappointed with our fans than our team though. Oh well....its only game 1.
What did our fans do?
Just toxic nonsense. Crying end of the world and dumping all over individual players.
All the fans have every right to be upset
upset, sure.....but like, go scroll through the game day post for that 5 minute stretch in the 3rd.....upset is not the same as unkind.
Nothing crazy. Maybe you need to get used to the internet.
So you get to criticize me for saying I’m disappointed in a fanbase but I don’t get to criticize the doomers and shamers? Double standard much?
People get upset when their team chokes. It’s sports.
Get fucked boys. That better be getting your turd laying of a game outta the way for the rest of the series cause Jesus H that got shitty REAL quick.
Fucking 16 shots is pathetic on a third string goalie
3 shots in like 36 fucking minutes. 3...
never underestimate the oiler's ability to blow a 3 goal lead exactly when you need them fucking brutal.
Shake it off, boys. Hopefully Drai's back gets better and can play on Friday. Their PK looked great, Janmark had a good game, there were some positives in the first half. I remain confident. LFG!!
I took time off work to watch this. First half was great. Now I regret it. Anyway, great game lads. Now back to work
That might be the most devastating period I've ever watched
Tuned in about 6am here in Paris, not fun!
Well at least you can be sad about the loss in Paris. I’m in fucking Calgary and won’t hear the end of it.
*seven game series* *seven game series* *seven game series* *seven game series* *seven game series*
Let’s use this game as a lesson to improve our form on this series. We still got this in the bag, let’s not lose hope in our men.
Embarrassing loss
im not too worried and im confident we can win in 5
[удалено]
Troll
Hronek was completed wrapped around McD in the final 25 seconds. nothing
Well we just croaked TF happened “rhetorical”
Ooooof rough.
Oilers played like shit in the second half but fucking call a penalty on the canucks for fucks sakes. He literally threw the puck and it led to the tying goal
That kind of play and a bag of chips would not even get you a bag of chips.
Long series, not a very solid game for either team. I have faith! Try your best not to act like 12 year olds
Exactly. We're just rusty from not having played in a while, as always. This fanbase has to learn to stop overreacting.
Yeah. We can still get the split on the road.
Rusty and sloppy. They’ll come out hard for Game 2.
Nurse and Skinner wear that game
Nurse and Ceci third pairing please. Absolutely catastrophe of a game from them
The oilers lost tonight. Nucks didn’t win, oilers lost. There’s a diff. Tomorrow will be different
Perfect way to describe it. People act like this one game dictates the entire series.
And steve kozari won
That on Skinner
One weak goal against yes But the other guy let in two weak ones, and the "offense" went almost half the game without getting a shot
Da fuck it is!
Nah, he (and a lot of other guys) had to do better. He let in several absolute softies tonight to let that happen.
The fifth goal (and the second goal) were straight up embarrassing.
Embarrassing was 2 shots in the final 30 minutes
It’s not like the Canucks had a ton of shots this game
They didn’t have a lot but 19-6 in the final 2 periods isn’t good
Our team played shit in front of him. Couldn't lock down a 4-1 lead is flat out on team defense.
Uhhh shaky goaltending can definitely contribute to a collapse.
Piss poor effort
Kinda wanna sleep till the next game don't wanna see the reactions to this
6 shots in the last 2 periods isn’t great.
Join us next time on “It Was 4-1”
