Thing is though, the Oilers WERE moving their feet and some good solid hits can slow things down. We know Draisaitl's been crying over his back (although he's a faker so not sure if it's for real). Hammer him. Often.
I do know that they try to take away the passes/seams, etc. but a physical game was working pretty well for them. Especially when you have Kane and Nurse running around like hotshots. A bit more brawn to start the game might've set a different tone.
But....they almost pulled it off so the Oilers can think about that. They let a 2 goal lead slide in the 3rd....not quite the powerhouse running over us.
Yeah, so can good execution.
The way I see it is EDM is gambling a bit in the O zone. When the Canucks can win battles & exit the zone w possession EDM definitely backs off. Garland’s line definitely showed that.
I do think Canucks havnt shown how good they are when they are at their best.
Listening to Tocc’s media avail now-battle level def an issue for him (5-6 passengers!)

Weird how passive they were. I'm not outrageously mad about it but the game plan doesn't seem to make sense.
I dont know if it was passivity…EDM set up very aggressive in the O zone. 3 FWDs deep and D pinching. Moved their feet. Canucks couldnt break through that wall so to speak. And when they did have possession alot of flubbed passes. Probably their own worst enemy tonight. Just gotta regroup and bounce back which theyve shown they can do.

Hate to say it but the oilies want it more. 5 below dots supporting puck. Bachecking with speed. We look slow and waiting for space. No gonna happen
^^^^
Oil arnt going to adjust the aggressive O zone play unless the Canucks force them to do so
-
time to be resilient boys! you got 20 mins to piss off EDM and their media cheerleaders!

He shouldn't have been bumped though. Should have been tracking his man back but instead chasing the puck carrier despite never going to make a play on him.
it was a pretty quick sequence. im definitely not defending his overall play but on that particular play it’s probably not the one to be super critical of

I don’t even think we need to give Pettersson skilled linemates, but my goodness at least give him some that will go into a border battle and win the puck…
been the story of the game for the whole team save for Garland and Lindy.

Juulsen had support from Mikheyev. Mikheyev stopped at the line.
i rewatched the goal and IM gets bumped so its a little better than just watching the puck. Just a bad sequence overall much like this game so far….

I agree. I honestly think we should think about trading him.
My view of him hasnt really changed all year but alas Im focused on the Canucks winning this game!
(Now would be a great time for you to step up tho Phillip)

EDM playing three FWDs deep in the O zone. Even when the D pinch the FWDs arnt exactly covering. Hard to against play against but the Canucks gotta break through somehow

Cole again somewhat costing us a goal. That Miller penalty doesn't happen if he doesn't fail to clear the puck twice. Also stupid on Miller's part. Cole is really costing us this series which is too bad, he's likeable.
PP was absolutely dreadful. PP2 was the best. Simpson was right, the PK simply out worked our PP. Such a missed opportunity.
yeah, Im not looking to dump on anyone but if Juulsen has a really solid game I wouldnt be surprised if Cole gets a little reset for game 5

I’m calling goals by Pettersson, Hughes, Garland and Miller.
and 0 for EDM!
-
Yeah Tocc has a substantive point-Kane should be gone given all the talk about dangerous crosschecks

imo it’s came down to winning battles and EDM won the majority of them that period. But there is definitely potential for rush chances going back the other way
-
Bad period but only down 1. Regroup!
