Pickard looks good so far. Hopefully he can keep it up. We’ve been dominant this whole series outside of the goaltending. Canucks only hanging onto the lead by the skinner their teeth

This would be a sweep with league avg tending.

 

[MoontoScott]

A lot of good defense and shot blocking tonight--keep it up for another 20 minutes boys.

 

[CycloneSweep]

In games like this its so tight you have to take what is there. McD used to take it wide everytime when he has the D beat. Take the puck to the net when you beat contain. That is elemental.

Just like Nuge did there and shooting the puck. Thank god he didn't try to pass the puck like 20 other plays tonight. What happens when you shoot. huge goal. Oilers heard me and starting to shoot a bit more. We were making it easy on Silovs before.

That goal was so big. lol that it was caused by a Canuck chasing yet another hit. yeah you got the hit, your goal light is flashing ya loser. That was Juulsen right? Serves Nucks right for playing a raw rookie out there.

Huge game by Pickard. Best goaltending we've had in playoffs we knew it would be.

That’s a sequence that coaches will be using to show players the meaning of take the hit to make the play. What a ballsy move by Ekholm.

 

[Arty Spooners Bsmnt]

Hahaha that’s not holding at all. We got our one PP I guess.

I was predicting that the Canucks would get 6 minutes in penalties tonight. Guess I was optimistic. Maybe they will get called after the game is over.

 

[OfCorsiDid]

My butthole is 5/10 relaxed. But I have major anxiety at times so that's pretty damn relaxed

Between the chili and the dr. pepper, if my asshole was only at 5/10 clench I'd be cleaning up a big mess.

 

[elmeroil]

Omg the panel is on mute, their heads are so far up the Canucks assessment wtf

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Looking back at the thread, are people really complaining about Nuge this game? He was very involved even before the goal and I've been one of his harshest critics calling him Casper Nuge etc.

I think everyone besides foegele and ceci has had an acceptable game.

 

[MoontoScott]

Nuge with his strongest game in the series--much more engaged.

 

[TheNumber4]

Huge goal from Nuge. If we get up 3 or more goals in the 3rd expect the Canucks to play dirty. Boys need to be ready for it and return the favor.

For sure. And if we get up by 4. Let’s start getting dirty ourselves. Faces need to be smashed.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Pretty sure my girlfriend could parallel park my workvan between jens eyes.

 

[jesusbuiltmyhotrod]

Omg the panel is on mute, their heads are so far up the Canucks assessment wtf

I turn them off not giving them my viewership. Kind of a protest lol

 

[Bryanbryoil]

Kane seems down to FA tonight

Who is going to find out? Hopefully Zadorov or anyone else other than that plug Joshua. Poetic justice would be Zadorov shitting teeth after fighting Kane.

 

[oobga]

Show us your Pickard voodoo doll on your lap that you will start jabbing after your intermission spot Hrudey.

 

[Ibanez]

Hrudey praising an oiler? Either too much glue huffing or not enough

 

[CupofOil]

Nuge with his strongest game in the series--much more engaged.

Finally, somebody else sees what I'm seeing. He looks like a completely different player tonight, showing real desperation in his game.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

That’s a sequence that coaches will be using to show players the meaning of take the hit to make the play. What a ballsy move by Ekholm.

Exactly what I thought, also great anticipation by RNH.

 

[elmeroil]

Naaaaa I don't think Pickard feels the pressure, like others have said he's playing with house money!

 

[Broberg Speed]

This is dumb like all your Bouchard comments. You should watch the game and learn about it, this edgy contrary nonsense is dumb

You're telling me Holloway has a scoring touch or that McLeod likes to go to the front of the net?

You're the one that needs to learn something if either is your position.

 

[OfCorsiDid]

 

[iCanada]

Worth noting - we've suffocated the hell out of Vancouver tonight.

This is a Sutter's Kings type effort from the group. Hell of a performance so far.

 

[CycloneSweep]

Kane seems down to FA tonight

Which is good cause he will be suspended for game 5.

 

[KCC]

This would be a sweep with league avg tending.

That’s what I was logging in to just say. And it’s true. If skinner was even average, edm is up 3-0 with them about to sweep tonight. Lol

 

[Drivesaitl]

To be fair - @Drivesaitl and I try to remind you guys.

and we usually get the gears for it too. lol.

That said not a great game from Drai. Needs to shoot more, pass less. I mean seriously passing to Ceci on a 2 on 1? Why would you even do that? Regular season its OK to have the idea of getting other guys going, spreading some joy. In playoffs if star players have it on stick you shoot first mentality.

Just look at Garland. Any chance he's getting on the wing he's doing everything right. Trying to get the best spot, shoot. Sometimes he tries a move to get a better one but he's shooting mentaily. Forced pickard to make a hard stop on a play we would have passed back to point....

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

Who goes to an Oilers playoff party wearing a Flames jersey

 

[MoontoScott]

For sure. And if we get up by 4. Let’s start getting dirty ourselves. Faces need to be smashed.

Stay disciplined. You don't want anybody to get suspended. That could make all the difference in game 5.
