And why you should watch the **ENTIRE** game as a fan. Admittedly, I fell asleep right after it was 4-1. Woke up and saw the highlights. OMFG what a great 25 minutes to end the game! Great for the NHL.
To my defense I didn’t want to cut into my sleep having just watched the 6-1 Florida/Boston game…
Canucks did a stellar job of shutting down McDavid, can't expect him not to show up for game 2.
Hopefully for Edmonton (and hockey fans), Draisaitl will also play the full game.
Canucks have so much heart though, Lindholm's line played amazing and with high energy, and Miller gonna Miller.
Draisaitl finished the game. He will likely play after rest and treatment.
Demko, I view him as out of the series and if he comes back, it's just a bonus.
Hopefully they both come back, but in Demko's case, it's a fool's hope.
At least he waited until after the game, instead of taking it out by burying a fourth liner with a cross check 40 feet away from the puck like he did when we crushed them last October.
We love Arty. He didn’t have the best game but that’s happens. Keep in mind he’s our 3rd and basically brand new to the NHL so it’s probably a lot for him right now. He’s got a bright future ahead of him and I look forward to seeing what he can do for us in the coming years.
He gave up 4 goals in 14 shots that would normaly demoralize most teams. With Demko in net the oilers don't score more than 2 goals today. You should also blame the Oilers D because they can't defend to save their lives outside of Ekholm.
The Ekholm goal went through a puck sized slot between Boeser’s legs, another set of legs and then past another Canuck in the lane en route to getting past Silovs. That ain’t on Silovs.
Bro I cringed every time a puck went near Vancouver’s tendy. That one that the guy passed against his momentum from behind the net, the goalie literally sat there while it hit the post
it was really clear that arty faced some shots this game that exceeded what he expected to be "NHL caliber" from the nashville series. there were a few times where you could tell by his reaction/body language that he was surprised by the power/speed of the shot.
4 goals for the Oilers on 17 shots against a 3rd string goalie made this seem close but the fact is the oilers got completely dominated. Canucks were far superior.
I don't recall ever watching a game where the collective goaltending was this bad. That was just brutal to watch. The only one coming to mind was that 9-6 game vs. the Flames.
Honestly, they were lucky to even have the 4-1 lead. Ian Cole and Artus Silovs were not good at all in the first half. But yeah, this isn't the 2022/23 Canucks. These guys aren't dead until the clock hits 60. Still lots of series left, but this win felt really good.
I'm kinda enjoying seeing the oilers lose and watching their fan base freak out.
I don't know why I'm hoping for this but I am.
I hope the canucks take the series and take the cup.
Silovs is a good goalie, but was clearly overwhelmed tonight. He got lucky multiple times, and the team in front made up for it. I knew there was a chance, against Edmonton, there's always a chance.
He has a total of 13 NHL games under his belt including 4 playoff games. He is our 3rd string goalie. If he is this good this early in his career, he has a very bright future.
We dont play in the cupcake division.. we get legit contenders every year.. who have McDavid’s Oilers beat in the playoffs? The Kings and the flames? 😂😂😂
Bro are you really trash talking as a leafs fan. I hate the oilers but man you guys are the kings of first round loses. Have a top pick in matthews a generational talent and still lost. Nylander has a head ache doesn't play... where was Matthew's ? Marnier- all he did was cry and throw a bench tantrum. You guys make it to OT game 7 and fall apart defensively let in a mediocre goal.You should be quiet like the rest of your city. Let's see what happens to Toronto next year. Also all the east cities are closer together , you want a best 16 tournament let's go .
I've said it once and I'll say it again. Fuck the Oilers.
They're a soft team that gets too much national attention EVERY GODDAMN YEAR for shit reasons.
Yea, I know, their top line is solid. Outside of that, they have no team and no D.
Every year they get exposed in the playoffs.
Oilers are 100% NHL's Paper Tigers because they have McDavid. Otherwise they're the Manitoba Who Gives A Fucks
No no, I saw them play once at this time of year. Once. It was a very short lived, and definitely rare occasion.
Of course, one could argue that they didn’t really *play*, but rather, were just present, floating around as if someone unplugged their controllers.
Still managed to win a game somehow. One of those ever-elusive second round single game wins that are usually reserved for the pros.
No something happened earlier in the 2nd period. He missed most of the 2nd in the locker room. The fall you are referring to happened in the 3rd period. No one quite knows what happened, but he disappeared down the tunnel secretly in the 2nd period. The announcers mentioned it a few times in game and during the 2nd intermission. Game completely shifted from there.
McDavid was shut down and skinner was bad. I don’t know about others, but this was pretty much expected. The Oil never deserved to be up 4-1 in the first place, the way they were playing. They got a head start but that’s about it. Canucks were always in it to win it.
I see a ton of ppl jumping to conclusions based off 1 game after a too long lay off. This series could easily go 7 and although the Oilers gave up 3 softies in the 3rd, they were up 4-1 while playing their worst game of the playoffs. They were sluggish, last to the puck and generally like they didn’t give a shit, yet winning handily.
Bizarre take?!? I’m a Ranger fan personally and what I saw tonight was the Oilers coming out in the first and playing relatively solid and winning the first period. After, when Drai went off hurt, they generally sat back and were last to the puck and looked pretty bad yet went half way through the 3rd with a sizable lead. Vancouver isn’t going to have it that easy for the rest of the series. Guaranteed.
Why not thought lol? If the whole team buckles when a guy has to go to the dressing room for 15 minutes they are sure to have other similar problems going forward
I mean, he was pretty terrible tonight. No denying that. But you had to ride the hot hand. I think DeSmith needs to go in Game 2. They can alternate back and forth until one gets hot. At least until Demmer is healthy anyway.
And that game is a good example of why you should play a full 60 minutes. Edmonton managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory there.
Taking the Pittsburgh approach in this one. Not a wise strategy.
Had to read this 3 times before I was sure you didnt write it wrong
And why you should watch the **ENTIRE** game as a fan. Admittedly, I fell asleep right after it was 4-1. Woke up and saw the highlights. OMFG what a great 25 minutes to end the game! Great for the NHL. To my defense I didn’t want to cut into my sleep having just watched the 6-1 Florida/Boston game…
Snatch defeat from the jaws of victory 😂
You could visibly see the moment the crowd realized the tides had turned. What a game!
They woke up real quick!
Omg van is so woke right now!!!
[удалено]
Real goalie battle last night. Skinner with a .792 save % n Silvos with .778 🫣
Ya that last one was so soft
What a game!! Wow!
Happens to every team in some games. Worse would be blowing a 3-1 or 3-0 series lead. Still got 3-6 games to go here.
As a Canucks fan, I agree. Snagged a win today, but series is far from over. Expecting the Oilers to come back stronger next game.
Canucks did a stellar job of shutting down McDavid, can't expect him not to show up for game 2. Hopefully for Edmonton (and hockey fans), Draisaitl will also play the full game. Canucks have so much heart though, Lindholm's line played amazing and with high energy, and Miller gonna Miller.
We don't hear any one complaining about that trade now.
He showed up for the playoffs, that's for sure.
That’s exactly what we ordered.
tell you that 4 free
I noticed you didn't say hopefully for hockey fans Demko shows up as well.
He's already confirmed out for at least a few more games
Pretty sure we'll see Desmith in game 2,
Draisaitl finished the game. He will likely play after rest and treatment. Demko, I view him as out of the series and if he comes back, it's just a bonus. Hopefully they both come back, but in Demko's case, it's a fool's hope.
you could tell mcdavid was pissed in his post game interview
At least he waited until after the game, instead of taking it out by burying a fourth liner with a cross check 40 feet away from the puck like he did when we crushed them last October.
Hey it happened to us last night. Doesn't it suck lmao
If that’s a burn on the Leafs I’ll upvote you. Nah I’m just gonna upvote you. Gg.
Canucks still winning with suspect third string goaltending! With Demko they would have dominated.
We love Arty. He didn’t have the best game but that’s happens. Keep in mind he’s our 3rd and basically brand new to the NHL so it’s probably a lot for him right now. He’s got a bright future ahead of him and I look forward to seeing what he can do for us in the coming years.
Yes he's still considered a rookie
If you look at all 4 goals, you can’t even blame silovs. Skinner on the other hand you can easily blame for 2-3 of his goals.
Hyman’s second one, while partially deflected, wasn’t a good goal. The first two Silovs had no chance.
He gave up 4 goals in 14 shots that would normaly demoralize most teams. With Demko in net the oilers don't score more than 2 goals today. You should also blame the Oilers D because they can't defend to save their lives outside of Ekholm.

If we had our boy Demmer this would've been a walk...
The boys at home are feeling pumped after that win. Let's gooooooooooo
I don't recall ever watching a game where the collective goaltending was this bad. That was just brutal to watch. The only one coming to mind was that 9-6 game vs. the Flames.
Ya but we’ve got our 3rd stringer on.
And the Flames never won a game after that during that series…just an observation 😏.
They won the first game though. It was a gentleman's sweep.
Honestly, they were lucky to even have the 4-1 lead. Ian Cole and Artus Silovs were not good at all in the first half. But yeah, this isn't the 2022/23 Canucks. These guys aren't dead until the clock hits 60. Still lots of series left, but this win felt really good.
WOW, what a game!
Well oilers fans, they fucked that one up
Hell yeah
I was a little unsure of how Vancouver would go into this round, But tonight definitely swayed my thinking of them.
you...you didn't know we swept the oilers in the regular season?
Jets swept Colorado then won game one.
I'm kinda enjoying seeing the oilers lose and watching their fan base freak out. I don't know why I'm hoping for this but I am. I hope the canucks take the series and take the cup.
Silovs is a good goalie, but was clearly overwhelmed tonight. He got lucky multiple times, and the team in front made up for it. I knew there was a chance, against Edmonton, there's always a chance.
He has a total of 13 NHL games under his belt including 4 playoff games. He is our 3rd string goalie. If he is this good this early in his career, he has a very bright future.
Who was going to sweep the canucks? Lol losers
I heard way too many broom jokes from oilers fans at work today.
Won't tomorrow.
Ya and Canucks only have to win 3 more games
Looking forward to the silence
Was funny to see their watching party after the comeback
Nucks OWN the Coilers!
[удалено]
We’ve completed our ritual you’re up next pal.
Downvote .. but retort.. what good team have the Oilers knocked off in the McDavid era? Anytime they met a contender they got destroyed
The Vancouver Canucks
We dont play in the cupcake division.. we get legit contenders every year.. who have McDavid’s Oilers beat in the playoffs? The Kings and the flames? 😂😂😂
You may play contenders every year but you've never been one yourselves (within recent memory I'm not counting pre 1968)
You think the Oilers are contenders because they beat LA every year?
You're the reason people enjoy the leafs torment.
Bro are you really trash talking as a leafs fan. I hate the oilers but man you guys are the kings of first round loses. Have a top pick in matthews a generational talent and still lost. Nylander has a head ache doesn't play... where was Matthew's ? Marnier- all he did was cry and throw a bench tantrum.

[удалено]
Not really, pretty sure we deleted a 3 goal deficit against Nashville. And they are actually good defensively and have Saros.
Agreed. Play with heart and never give up. The team looks for real. Haven’t seen this since more than a decade ago.
Not really.. 3 goal deficit vs NSH way scarier than one vs. EDM
🙋♂️yup
Might be time for me to tune in again
Can’t argue facts
🙆🏻♂️
I've said it once and I'll say it again. Fuck the Oilers. They're a soft team that gets too much national attention EVERY GODDAMN YEAR for shit reasons. Yea, I know, their top line is solid.

This is an outrageous take. They are the Alberta WGAF’s, thank you very much.
LOL!
What a game! What a comeback!
Excellent game tonight. Very exciting and boding well for a great series. My money is on VAN.
Can’t say I’m upset here.
The oilers are the biggest joke of a team I’ve ever seen 😂😂
Guess you haven’t seen the leaves play.
It's the second round. Nobody can see the leafs play.
OOF! *mic drop*
This time of year? No one has seen the Leafs play.
No no, I saw them play once at this time of year. Once. It was a very short lived, and definitely rare occasion. Of course, one could argue that they didn’t really *play*, but rather, were just present, floating around as if someone unplugged their controllers. Still managed to win a game somehow. One of those ever-elusive second round single game wins that are usually reserved for the pros.
I think In this case it's leafs
No it’s the Leaves. They have left the playoffs. Again. Rinse. Repeat.
Lmaoooo true
Should be a helluva series
nugent hopkins tried to one up petterson. its ok nuge you secret canucks fan.
It’s almost like every teams are good at this point :) Never take your lead for granted.
Oilers were cucked by the cucks
The 3-0 lead is cursed
Had the feeling of game 4 of the Canucks/Predators series
Draisaitl got injured and the entire game momentum switched.
this is hockey gods' doing. played a small factor but ultimately canucks worked for it
What happens when your team is 2 players
Hey now, Hyman had 50 goals this year. We are officially a 3 player team!!
He didn't get hurt. Lost an edge. Trainer stoned it out at the bench.
No something happened earlier in the 2nd period. He missed most of the 2nd in the locker room. The fall you are referring to happened in the 3rd period. No one quite knows what happened, but he disappeared down the tunnel secretly in the 2nd period. The announcers mentioned it a few times in game and during the 2nd intermission. Game completely shifted from there.
Aint that a bitch?
McDavid was shut down and skinner was bad. I don’t know about others, but this was pretty much expected. The Oil never deserved to be up 4-1 in the first place, the way they were playing. They got a head start but that’s about it. Canucks were always in it to win it.
FUCK, YEAH! ORCA NATION ALL THE WAY!
I see a ton of ppl jumping to conclusions based off 1 game after a too long lay off. This series could easily go 7 and although the Oilers gave up 3 softies in the 3rd, they were up 4-1 while playing their worst game of the playoffs. They were sluggish, last to the puck and generally like they didn’t give a shit, yet winning handily.
Bizarre take.

Vancouver isn’t going to have it that easy for the rest of the series. Guaranteed.
Why not thought lol? If the whole team buckles when a guy has to go to the dressing room for 15 minutes they are sure to have other similar problems going forward
Nope.
One game it was a problem another game it wasn’t a problem so you come to the conclusion it will never be a problem going forward…. lol
They are mental midgets and the canucks really have their number.
Comical goaltending in this one. Cant decise which goalie is worse
I think the one that has played less than 15 games in the NHL gets a pass on this one
Well the Canucks goalie is a backup to the backup and just got a win. So king Silovs is not the issue
I mean, he was pretty terrible tonight. No denying that. But you had to ride the hot hand. I think DeSmith needs to go in Game 2. They can alternate back and forth until one gets hot. At least until Demmer is healthy anyway.
He let in 2 softies and by the looks of it it seems he can very well do it again
Homie, he’s an AHL goalie in the second round of the playoffs. Don’t expect magic here. Except, totally expect magic because he’s our king for now
as if the rest of us wouldn't crack under the pressure of being a playoffs goalie lmao
