It was a good year overall. The team will learn from this experience.

 

Oilers are turds, all of them. Not one that I have respect for. RNH is probably the closest. Hope they crash and burn.

 

Again.

Their star players were the biggest whiners to the Refs I have ever seen

Better goaltending and defense, but this oilers team is deeper than they get credit for.  I said that back in December 

Their goaltending was dogsh*t though this series imho (no question he was much better/solid during the regular season).

 

edit:  Didn't think the guy who replaced Skinner for a bit wasn't too bad

All good guys, it was a successful season. We overachieved and led the NHL for the most part of the regular season. 
 

These are fine building blocks, you have to learn how to lose before you win. 
 

Management did one of the best re-tool jobs in recent memory. 
 

Let’s see what we do this off/season.

This was true 3 years ago, now , building isn't an excuse

No need for that Deb.We all should be excited for next year.New faces,young players.Hockey is not only one game.Canucks is life commitment for us who love this town and this sport.So recharge and reengage.

Man that first period was weak, 2 shots then 10 then 5 .... Canucks have their work cut out for them this summer. To put a team together just as good. Gonna be easy to regress this year. Gotta keep Z this team is weak without him. Gonna have to let a lot go maybe sell high on a couple guys. It's the biggest off season I can remember.

I know people think we're a big gritty team, but our best goal scorers and playmakers are all small and soft, so I think that needs to change.

It’s big gritty Dman that make a difference in the Play Offs , it was nice having that element finally, it made a difference

Agree on the goaltending, no question.......defence as well.  But the Oilers are as deep up front and better on special teams.

Yup. Would have been extra sweet for us to be the ones to oust them and the silly narrative that they deserve to win before their window closes. Will leave that task to Dallas now. 

 

I respected the Oilers in the 80s but this team emenates a smug entitlement that seems impossible to like or root for. 

[Canuck You]

Once again, That 4 min PP killed us.

[Hairy Kneel]

Oilers should buy Kelly Sutherland a car.

[Roger Neilsons Towel]

I knew after the way they played game 6 we were done. The effort just wasn’t there.  Sad but true.

[-dlc-]

Probably not the best place or time to blow the Oilers. Horn I mean.

 

Seriously ... f them.

Ekholm really help solidify their backend (not too different from how Hronek acquisition improved our blueline - not merely by his presence but how his spot meant others would get pushed down the depth chart [eg., less icetime]_.

Probably already have.

[BarneyKook]

all our best chances and we missed the net,

 

Garland, Ilya, Z, Lindy, PDG

 

I think missing the net was an issue earlier in the year was it not?

[aGENT]

Well... Go Stars!

Yep, gotta make the most of those and the momentum shift after you don't is huge.

Miller had 1 shot. Cry me a river JT.

This is such a ridiculous comment. He literally held McDavid scoreless. One of our heart and soul guys all year.

They are the most overrated for sure 

so deep the play the crap out of two guys… 

have to outscore the bad goaltending every night 

they squeaked by our very good third string goaltender with our super star goalie injured and ep a non factor 

 

yeah Dallas isnt and shouldn’t be worried about a two player team that wins mostly on the back of pps  

and has the terrible goaltender. 

A heathy demko this series wouldn’t  have got past 5 games as well as silovs played he’s not Demko.

Best $600 bucks I ever spent....got to see 2 games and I have zero regrets.

 

Totally agree, I was lucky enough to see game 1 against Nashville, game 2 & game 5 against EDM. 

 

Plus I went to the third period comebacks against Columbus and Boston during the year. Great freaking value, so exciting and truly a group of players I and happy to cheer for. Canuck pride is back.

Dallas is going to SLAUGHTER Edmonton
