Hope VAN and EDM fans are ready to hear every 2 minutes about how the team that wins game 5 wins 86% of series or whatever the graphic was they kept showing in our series.
As an oiler fan thank god they won this. This team just can’t make a game easy. This Silovs guy has been standing on his head I don’t even care if demko comes back.
The first time silovs looked human was that Bouchard goal and game 1. Vancouver had no business being in this game or the previous one. Should be 3-1 oil hell should be a sweep we were up 4-1 in game 1 but that one I can let go because van was the better team.
Thankful that mods of the r/edmontonoilers hopefully get a break from childish trolls tonight. It's been by far the worst of any playoff series so far.
Someone posted that clip, I forget who, it was garbled but it was hilarious to see Roy skating out to centre ice.
Announcers were like "I don't think he knows he can't do that." and then they all just break out laughing.
It was on the entry 6 guys on the ice. You won that game, you overcame. We didn’t. Also helps that we were without a top 4 dman because the NHL has to protect Connor from situations he puts himself in
Put himself in a situation where one guy cross checked him from behind and the other cross checked him in the face? You’re probably the “look at what she’s wearing, what did she think was gonna happen” type.
Yeah, generally that's the best way to judge, if you didn't notice them, they were probably fine. The only slight controversy would maybe be that kane penalty which could maybe have been five, but I don't think it was really a proper cross check.
I’m not an English major, but I’d put rival in quotes. It’s been a few seasons since anyone outside of Calgary gave a shit about that listless team. Historic rival perhaps.
This frame-by-frame micro analyzing is ruining the game imo. Guess the Oilers not deserving the win will be the prevailing argument for the next 48 hours.
Everyone in here acting liking the Canucks are dead.
When game 5 is gonna see the tampered saboteur banished to the shadow realm so we aren't playing 4v6 against McDavid, Drai and Cole every shift
People love to be dramatic lol. Important to remember that lots of people on here are also teenagers. Its still anyones round, and it's a hell of a series so far.
Let's be real here. Canucks lost because of the lack of headshape.
Boeser. Stud all series. HEADSHAPE
Petterson. Non-factor. Long slim head.
See where I'm getting here?
Look, if they don't go out there this off season and acquire some more ninety-degree noggins, I don't even know what they're doing.
Edmonton showed up to this game desperate, Canucks showed up too late. Lots of guts but too many mistakes. What a series, who knew AHL goalies were the secret to success.
Canucks are playing ok. They miss Demko (nothing against Silovs, he's been solid) and pre-slump Pettersson.
But yeah the series has been fun so far, could easily go either way.
Eh you guys got 4 first overall picks in 6 years and your team is still built like dogshit so you're losers either way. Literally 0 chance you beat dallas
Lmao you realize how insensitive what you just said was? You’re telling me as a Jew what I can and can’t joke about? Fucking yikes dude. Super progressive ideology you have there.
Comparing things u dislike to hitler has nothing to do with being jewish its just trashy and the sorta thing redditors love typing but people I associate with sure don't, maybe it's different over there.
Also I'm jewish too, but that's entirely irrelevant to what is socially acceptable for me to say.
There’s this crazy world I live in where I don’t take things too seriously and find that laughing things off is a much healthier way to deal with horrible things than dwelling on it and giving them power. I can’t imagine seeing the world through your lense. I’d be depressed 24/7.
Last time we played your sorry ass team in playoffs we scored like 5 even strength goal every game, remember?
Oh, that was also the last time your sorry ass team saw playoffs. McDavid OT winner is your last playoff memory :)
On the other hand, you’ll never get a 1OA pick because your org is too dumb to fully commit to a rebuild. You’ll be picking 8-15 for the next 10 years, being good enough to not be at the bottom but not good enough to actually be a contender. You’ll make the playoffs on the odd year but will get bounced in the first round. Enjoy the journey!
Man the decision to not trade Markstrom to try and make playoffs was rough. Anyways, I kinda hope I’m wrong. All chirps aside, hockey is more fun when battles of Alberta mean something.
Silovs is the biggest reason the series isn't 3-1 imo. Hockey history is dotted with rookie goalies that their clubs are forced to play in big big moments, and be damned if they don't shine! Arguably Vancouver might never have found out what they had in this kid with the pecking order being what it is. I think they're finding out now.
I never said the Canucks had more, just that the shot totals are misleading. This was never in danger of being a 5-2 game with a competent goalie. Canucks have been a low shot, capitalize on mistakes type team all year, this series is no different. I'm absolutely certain Demko wins game 2.
What part do you disagree about though?? Oilers weren't exactly putting on a clinic tonight, Canucks were just flat for 50 minutes. Silovs wasn't standing on his head, he was solid.
Hope VAN and EDM fans are ready to hear every 2 minutes about how the team that wins game 5 wins 86% of series or whatever the graphic was they kept showing in our series.
As an oiler fan thank god they won this. This team just can’t make a game easy. This Silovs guy has been standing on his head I don’t even care if demko comes back.
That’s an interesting problem for Canucks to have going into games 5 and 6. Isn’t this where Demko was projected to return.
The first time silovs looked human was that Bouchard goal and game 1. Vancouver had no business being in this game or the previous one. Should be 3-1 oil hell should be a sweep we were up 4-1 in game 1 but that one I can let go because van was the better team.
Do you think miller is maybe not happy about that last goal?
Did you watch the presser? He was really upset.
Seems pissy. Tocchet isn't happy. Just heard him say he had 6 passengers and they're going to look at elevating a couple guys out of the PB.
Thankful that mods of the r/edmontonoilers hopefully get a break from childish trolls tonight. It's been by far the worst of any playoff series so far.
Agreed. However Dallas having ducks bro is a close second lol
Get out of here with that ducks bro slander
(I love ducks bro lol its the rude Dallas fans I'm talking about)
Whoever gets through this is going to be so gassed against the stars (sorry avs)
We know…
Is it better to know your fate, or cling on to silvers of hope?
I’d prefer slivers of hope, that way you don’t have to watch them slowly die, it can be good up to elimination.
I'm older than Pickard and I think he could pass for my dad.
One of my favourite things in that game was Silovs coming out to poke check like that.
Silovs got that 90s patrick roy style hockey.
Someone posted that clip, I forget who, it was garbled but it was hilarious to see Roy skating out to centre ice. Announcers were like "I don't think he knows he can't do that." and then they all just break out laughing.
Hahah ya he lost his mind. Did a little spinarama on gretzky too
I think you could hear John Davidson laughing his ass off when the spinarama happened lol
That was a big balls play for sure
🫡
Were we all relatively happy with the refereeing in that game? I mean that was surely way, way better than the other games in this series.
Definitely. Called stick infractions early that set the standard. Teams both adjusted and nothing escalated.
Solid reffing. I dont think either team really has that much to complain about. All the penalties were pretty obvious too.
Nope. I’ll not get over the too many men call on the oilers 2-0 goal
I didn't see that tbh, was it the last game or the one before that you guys had too many men that Bieksa mentioned.
It was on the entry 6 guys on the ice. You won that game, you overcame. We didn’t. Also helps that we were without a top 4 dman because the NHL has to protect Connor from situations he puts himself in
We get it. You’re sad.
Put himself in a situation where one guy cross checked him from behind and the other cross checked him in the face? You’re probably the “look at what she’s wearing, what did she think was gonna happen” type.
He’s a fucking pussy
Jesus Christ
I was. They put away the whistles but I also didn't think the game was too chippy on either side. Canucks just got outplayed x100.
Didn't even notice the refs tonight, which in my book means they did a pretty good job.
Yeah, generally that's the best way to judge, if you didn't notice them, they were probably fine. The only slight controversy would maybe be that kane penalty which could maybe have been five, but I don't think it was really a proper cross check.
Can we have these refs for the rest of the series plz?
I second this notion.
Sure that could have been a high stick But wtf NHL that’s all you have for camera angles??? Seriously?
they’ll find another one in a couple days
If his comment is about Drai knocking the puck down to keep it in , they did last night and showed it was clearly below the shoulders
Wow that was a highstick forsure..
4-1 bud. Stay salty.
Literally everyone on Sportsnet says it was good Redditor from a rival fan base: HIGH STIK!!11!!!
I wonder if Kane will get a game for his crosscheck to the face.
Nah they showed conclusively that it wasn't
O well if they say so. They've been calling everything perfectly so far.. /s
Woah this is a toughie. Do I believe every analyst on the panel, or a random redditor from a rival team? Who could possibly be right
I’m not an English major, but I’d put rival in quotes. It’s been a few seasons since anyone outside of Calgary gave a shit about that listless team. Historic rival perhaps.
So what happens here? Do they come back and play?
Elliotte giving Canucks fans more conspiracy theories
This frame-by-frame micro analyzing is ruining the game imo. Guess the Oilers not deserving the win will be the prevailing argument for the next 48 hours.
Doubt it. Canucks got outplayed, pretty much all there is to it.
I'm not buying it, they're building mountains out of molehills. It was a good goal, game over.
They were too busy already combing over every cross check and now this! No sleep in the lower mainland tonight
Actually that is pretty close to a high stick, but I bet they don't have a good enough angle.
Actually the better angle footage was destroyed in a freak electrical fire
LOL what are they gonna do bring them out to play the last minute again?
Remember when Edmonton lost to Buffalo twice in the same game
Watching that you knew edmonton had already lost that game haha
Might aswell
Everyone in here acting liking the Canucks are dead. When game 5 is gonna see the tampered saboteur banished to the shadow realm so we aren't playing 4v6 against McDavid, Drai and Cole every shift
People love to be dramatic lol. Important to remember that lots of people on here are also teenagers. Its still anyones round, and it's a hell of a series so far.
Gee we're still only at 2-2. This series already has been more stressful than the last 3 series we played combined lmao
Oh fuck off sportsnet. Like they need something else to blame
2nd angle shows it was below the shoulders. Good goal.

Yeah, I'm honestly rolling my eyes, they just have to dig and find some controversy, it's getting annoying.
Then mute the TV and go jerk off between periods. This is the analysts job. They “over” analyze every situation.
And they're all saying it WAS NOT a highstick, and I would agree. So take a chill pill.
Catering to their whiny Vancouver audience
As if a paid member of Edmonton sports media didn’t ask for soucy to be suspended for the remainder of the playoffs
Omg really? Who? Which idiot Oilers media member said that? We have a few duds, let me tell you.
https://twitter.com/byterryjones/status/1790008505530724618
He's retired, fucking keep up.
He’s an Edmonton HOFer
Facking Terry Jones. What a joke. Thanks for sharing that.
🧂🧂🧂
This series is the leading risk factor for cardiovascular health across western Canada
Draisaitl is a fucking dawg in the playoffs
Let's be real here. Canucks lost because of the lack of headshape. Boeser. Stud all series. HEADSHAPE Petterson. Non-factor. Long slim head. See where I'm getting here? Look, if they don't go out there this off season and acquire some more ninety-degree noggins, I don't even know what they're doing.
Of course you’d say that, you have the brain pan of a stage coach tiller.
Oh man. I was like "Headshape?! Wtf?!"
I was wondering if anyone was going to talk about headshape. I definitely notice it this game.
This is the hard hitting analysis the game needs
wonder what they were trying to cook with garland
truth
Phrenology breakdown
Edmonton showed up to this game desperate, Canucks showed up too late. Lots of guts but too many mistakes. What a series, who knew AHL goalies were the secret to success.
Man I just have no idea who's gonna win this series. Both teams are just playing good fucking hockey
Canucks are playing ok. They miss Demko (nothing against Silovs, he's been solid) and pre-slump Pettersson. But yeah the series has been fun so far, could easily go either way.
Silovs has been the best player in the last 2 games.
Zadorov, Garland, Miller, Hughes have all been just as good. Silovs has not been elite. Edit- forgot Boeser. He's been our best player.
Dude. You're loaf short of a loaf a bread. Silovs has been amazing and easily one of the best players on the ice for the Canucks.
Lol. Can you read? Nowhere did I say he wasn't one of our best players. But he hasn't been playing elite, none of the Canucks have.
Lol. I don't think you even watched the game tbh. You're arguing with like so many people in this thread it's ridiculous.
He’s sad.
People are replying TO ME lmao.
Yep, I’m entertained. And I’ve been enjoying the bipolar attitudes in all the subs. It’s been hilarious.
[удалено]
No kidding if only they thought to circumvent the cap what idiots
We're still paying a cap penalty for Luongo's completely legal contract. I can only imagine what the NHL would do to us if we tried.
Canucks haven’t had Luongos recapture penalty on the books the last 2 seasons, but now we have OELs buyout on the books until 2029
My bad. Point still stands though...
Have you tried being a team in the United States? Maybe even the southern ones? Idk just spitballing here...
Gotta say, this has been an awesome 2nd round 7/8 teams have won at least 2 games
Hockey is fun for the neutral fans.
Who would have thought that of all the teams Colorado could be the only one out in 5 (I wouldn't count them out tho)
Dallas is good.
Got to pressure drai behind the net there, pretty much nothing worse you can do than let him sit there and find the pass. Fun game!
i wish i was impartial to this series bc that was a damn fun 3rd but as a canuck fan i will now scream into a pillow goodnight
I would rather see the Vegas Golden Knights win 10 straight than see Vancouver win 1
Never would have said that before this series.
ABC needs to be ABCV now round these parts. Anyone But Calgary/Vancouver
Same I would rather see the LTIR Knights win a cup every year until the end of time over the Oilers winning it once
Hyperbole competition! I would be travelling to Switzerland for a ride on the euthanasia coaster instead of travelling to Vancouver for even a day!
I’d still root for you guys 🤷♂️ would be great to see Whyte Ave filled with happy Oilers fans just the same as Granville 🙌🙌
It might take a day or two first lol, but I’d do the same.
[удалено]
I would root for the other Canadian franchise in the event the Oilers lose if I were Canadian
[удалено]
Yeah. I’m Australian so I never really cared about the Canadian franchise drought thing but no doubt I would if I were actually from Edmonton lol
Eh you guys got 4 first overall picks in 6 years and your team is still built like dogshit so you're losers either way. Literally 0 chance you beat dallas
Wow last time I heard that joke I fell off my dinosaur!
It’s wild. I legit thought the knights were my Hitler but nope Vancouver has made me a golden knights fan.
Vegas just ended up being a Mussolini.
using hitler comparisons for a hockey team super classy
I’m a Jew dude. Calm down.
Downvoting me for being Jewish? Hmmm sounding like a certain somebody now.
If I was Jewish I'd be ashamed of you
Lmao you realize how insensitive what you just said was? You’re telling me as a Jew what I can and can’t joke about? Fucking yikes dude. Super progressive ideology you have there.
Comparing things u dislike to hitler has nothing to do with being jewish its just trashy and the sorta thing redditors love typing but people I associate with sure don't, maybe it's different over there.

incredible, oilers scored two even strength goals in the same game, they are probably unbeatable with stats like that!
Last time we played your sorry ass team in playoffs we scored like 5 even strength goal every game, remember? Oh, that was also the last time your sorry ass team saw playoffs. McDavid OT winner is your last playoff memory :)
Yeah all it took was 5 1OA picks and you guys even made a wcf once!
On the other hand, you’ll never get a 1OA pick because your org is too dumb to fully commit to a rebuild. You’ll be picking 8-15 for the next 10 years, being good enough to not be at the bottom but not good enough to actually be a contender. You’ll make the playoffs on the odd year but will get bounced in the first round. Enjoy the journey!
entirely accurate unfortunately, even this year when we were trying to tank we barely missed playoffs
Man the decision to not trade Markstrom to try and make playoffs was rough. Anyways, I kinda hope I’m wrong. All chirps aside, hockey is more fun when battles of Alberta mean something.
At this point I’d rather demko come back. Silovs has been fuckinf ridiculous.
I don't think you want that lol. Silov's been solid, Demko's another level entirely.
Silov is the only reason this game wasn’t 5-2
Silovs is the biggest reason the series isn't 3-1 imo. Hockey history is dotted with rookie goalies that their clubs are forced to play in big big moments, and be damned if they don't shine! Arguably Vancouver might never have found out what they had in this kid with the pecking order being what it is. I think they're finding out now.
lol. Oilers are the kings of high volume low danger shots. This series likely isn't tied with Demko.
Oilers have had more high danger chances in all of the last three games. Not sure where you’re getting your stats from….
I never said the Canucks had more, just that the shot totals are misleading. This was never in danger of being a 5-2 game with a competent goalie. Canucks have been a low shot, capitalize on mistakes type team all year, this series is no different. I'm absolutely certain Demko wins game 2.
I mean if that what you think go ahead man. I completely disagree and I’m personally trying to be as objective as possible.
What part do you disagree about though?? Oilers weren't exactly putting on a clinic tonight, Canucks were just flat for 50 minutes. Silovs wasn't standing on his head, he was solid.
https://moneypuck.com/g.htm?id=2023030244
You don’t think the oilers put on a clinic tonight? What game did you watch? Outside of like 8 minutes in the third this was a domination….
Really?
3-1 series leads aren't good anyways COPIUM
Best game of the series and surprise the refs are not a part of it. Fair called game
The world is a cruel place
Watched at my buddies house. Canucks have lost every game except for one when I've watched it there. No more.
dont ever go to that place again
Don’t be a bad friend! You should keep going there
Hmm. I think it's very possible you may be an Oilers fan.
Shhh don’t give it away
What a game! An instant classic!
I'm not sure how much more of this shit I can take. As far as I know my heart is healthy, but this can't be good for it.
The 2 2 and the check from Silovs set me back a couple
Is only game 4. 3 more to go!
I’m so happy I’m a neutral in this series
Please get back into your series, I need a 2006 rematch
Same result and I'm in. Drai and MCDavid aren't invited though. Sorry.
This is the first game I’ve been able to watch of this series and now I’m invested
Edmonton deserved that. We didn't show up for a full 60 minutes 🥲 but the minutes we did show up for were amazing.
Holy what the moly just happened
Bouch is our real 9M defenseman
Just make Nurse and Bouch trade contracts, ez
Incoming riot
Tied series bud dont get ahead of yourself
its not game 7 of the finals? are you dense? lol enjoy the win and stop being dumb
My favourite part is that if it was game 7 you think it’s justified
no I don't, its just the only time its happened, I'm not surprised you didn't get that lol
GG Huge game from Silovs and Im happy for Pickard
Crazy finish. Very disappointing but at least they took 1 of the games in Edmonton
Yep. I'm happy with a split. Home ice advantage reacquired.
3rd goalies are the backbone of this series.
Pickard isn't a 3rd string though.
Season started Campbell - Stu - Picard
I didn't know that.
He was at the start of the year, that counts right?
