The Canucks played a grand total of 10min
Yeah but they were missing Boeser and Pettersen…..
Don’t forget Demko arguably best goalie on the league
no excuse for zero shots on a 4 minute pp
@@Julianne3883 I really don’t like that excuse . Silovs probably played as well as Demko would have. Saying that really takes away from how well Silovs played
@@randybehm5731 wait… Pettersen is on the Canucks!!?
I am not a Canucks fan, but I look forward to watching Arturs Silovs for a long time. That kid is a Jedi in the net. Congrats to the Oilers!
I wish I had a dollar for every hot goalie that stole a series and then disappeared into obscurity. It happened to the Devils just last year. A handful of games doesn't mean squat! At the 2019 NHL Entry Draft he was selected by the Vancouver Canucks in the sixth round, 156th overall. Nobody was blown away by this kid's talent before his last playoff appearance. Time will tell.
@@karlheinzvonkroemann2217 to be fair, he did it at the World’s last year as well.
Yeah we’ve never seen a young goalie light up the league only to fall off the map on year 3. Oh wait that happens all the time.
@@karlheinzvonkroemann2217he led a bad Latvia team to their first world juniors medal. He is going to have a future somewhere
He gad one decent run calm down. Have you ever heard flash in pan just wait
To reinforce how good Edmontons PK is by not letting the opposing team setup, Edmonton purposely didnt try to score a goal with the net empty at the risk of an icing and Vancouver winning the faceoff.
AHHHH it all makes sense now, genius!
wow that is a smart remark damnnn
Edmonton’s Achilles heel is goaltending and every player on the team knows they have to shelter the shots that get through which is why their PK is so good. You want your goaltender to bail you out once in a while. Silov’s was doing that all series and you look at Bobrovsky, Ottinger or Saros and they do the same. Skinner is not that kind of goalie. The Garland goal was a defensive zone mistake but it’s a saveable shot for some goalies. As an Edmonton Fan I worry that Ottinger is going to be the difference in the next series.
Skinner obtuse and he save when the puck hit him.
Great point.. the oilers were brutal at the faceoff all series. I think 3 of the game winning or tying goals from the canucks were off a lost draw I the d zone.. pissed me off lol
Canucks only started to play with 10 minutes left on the game. They needed to show up 6 periods ago
1994 and 2011 will be the closest losses you will come to ever winning in the next 30 yrs , get used to it
@@cindybates68 Ratio
@@cindybates68well at least you’re being honest
Amen. They really, really did not look like a team that wanted to be playing hockey in May. Silovs dragged them that far by pure will.
@@DrunkenGrognardyes 💯 Silovs carried the entire bloody team on his head. Would have been nice to see this effort from the rest of the team … 🙄
I just want to emphasize that on a 4 minute powerplay, the _only shot on net_ was shorthanded. That Oilers PK was unbelievably good.
Canucks pp has struggled for awhile so idk how that’s a big accomplishment
@@jays___ k
As an oilers fan, I am really proud of the Canucks. How far they have come under coach tocchet's leadership is remarkable. And how well the Canucks played while missing key players... Impressive!
This series could have gone either way, with both teams bringing so much skill and passion.
lol.....LOSERS
Canuck fans, just remember, dont razz us all season and call our team "two man" team who can't play defense, should we lose to you 4 games again in the regular season. Its the playoffs where it matters. 😉 Lastly, how much you want for Silovs?
@@FightingSiouxHockey mcdavid and Draisaitl for silovs
@@FightingSiouxHockey oilers played against a crippled canucks team, lets get a time machine and give draisaitl and mcdavid a blood clotting issue to keep them out of game 7 and whatever issue pettersson has had since the ASG and we'll see how history goes. Demko in net for bonus points since the biggest factor in those 4 regular season games was having the 1st line goalie shutting down your 2 stars
Either way your weird posturing aside it was a good series and it was anyone's game to win in game 7. The healthier team won, otherwise it was neck and neck.
@@FightingSiouxHockey silovs is with the canucks for a while now.
You can have desmith though.
Hughes was tired and banged up. He couldn't even skate in the 3rd period. Oilers were hard on him physically and it worked.
We can honestly thank nashville for that
He’ll do what McKinnon did and come back next year stronger, tougher, bigger and faster.
You add in the Nashville series, his frail weak body isn’t suitable for the playoffs.
@@danielnam9026 another marner/nylander
@@cindybates68 hughes had 10 assist in 13 games, marner could only dream of that
The only time they turned on the desperation and actually took risks was in the last 3 minutes of the game. As a fan of both Van and WPG, I got major Winnipeg vibes from this game! No push-back whatsoever and the amount of stupid penalties taken (I know officiating was brutal, but still) was a major part of their downfall. It felt like they were scared to skate into the open ice and opted to just "drop pass" and loop around 90% of their offence zone entrances.
I'm a Winnipeg fan also and I've been saying that's the past two Canucks games. So disappointing.
I’d say not scoring on a 4 minute power play is what killed them. They had a 4 minute power play last game they didn’t score on either. Credit Edmontons PK.
That's mostly because the Oilers stopped pressuring. Idk why they think that's the best way for them to defend a lead but they do for some reason
Oilers are too good on transition not to respect it, and I think they learned that lesson in game 1. That first game showed Vancouver the only way they'll win consistently: try to weather the Edmonton storm and wait them out until they ease up and then strike with reckless abandon and hope to fluster the Oilers. It came close to working in game 4 and game 7, and might have worked across the board if not for Canuck injuries - but it is what it is.
@@ipwnreviewer definitely a wake up call. Their offence looked night and day different than regular season. They would constantly 2-1 forecheck to apply pressure in the defensive end to force turnovers. They were not doing that at all this series.
As if Cody Ceci opens the scoring in game 7. That was pretty much game over right there.
He did the same thing in game 7 against the Kings a few years ago.
Yup if Ceci is scoring, your pretty much a loser
For me it was the double pk that almost ended the game, and I think it fully would have had Brown scored but even his chance hurt Vancouvers mentality
Ceci is acually really dangerous.. he needs to take more shots. you know he won hardest shot in the edmonton skills comp? he has a LAZER beam of a shot. Not saying hes as accurate as bouchard, but hes got some toast
yall underestimate ceci but hes not a bad player at all, he seems to focus on getting the puck to others rather than taking the shots himself, but i hope he starts taking the shots cuz hes really capable !
Don't feed the trolls. Great series from both teams. No shame in that.
As a heart broken canucks fan absolutely. Canada needs the cup! Go oilers!
@@nicky111 Dallas in 5 , not even close
lets go flames
@@johnrampulla5699 oh it's over easy series for rangers
I felt the series could have gone either way. I am a huge Oilers fan but was equally impressed with Vancouver's play. They are a really great team. It was definitely a fantastic series to watch.
I'm honestly quite surprised this series was so close, Vancouver did an excellent job of making the most of their opportunities even though Edmonton had control most of the time. I'm glad Edmonton didn't choke it away though, they didn't let those late game comebacks get to them and it gives me some confidence that the Dallas series will be competitive.
I think Edmonton matches up better with Dallas than they did with Vancouver. That sounds crazy I know but Toc ran Vancouver hard against Edmonton but it seemed like game 6 and 7 Edmonton finally figured out Vancouver. Edmontons biggest issue is going to be the goalie of Dallas.
Me too. I wasn't expecting it to go 7 games but the Canucks are legit.
@@ryans413no they do jot whatsoever 😂😂😂😂😂
@@ryans413 meeehhh goalie issues are going to be a problem. otter is far superior. I think Dallas wins it all because NY & FL are going to beat each other up
Dallas in 5
No excuses for the 1st and 2nd period. In the last 15 mins of the 3rd period, the Canucks showed up. But too little, too late, the effort they put in the last 15 mins was admirable, but we needed that in the 1st and 2nd, the full 60 mins! No full 60, no goals on the power play, and passengers cost us the game again and at a crucial time, when it really mattered.
There are several sensible reasons why a team might play 'better' in the final 15 minutes than in the first period, mostly having to do with RISK. The Canucks simply could not risk digging a big hole early in the game against a team like Edmonton. They opted to balance offence/ defense to give themselves a shot at actually hanging in there, and actually succeeded in keeping open a chance of winning! Kudos!
@@eamonnmorris5331 I appreciate your opinion, alas, I will stick with my opinion!
@@sunflowers8508 the oilers let off the gas in the third being up 3-0 , if they played the same way as in the 1st n 2nd it woulda been 4-1 , 5-1 edmonton , chinucks got b*tch slapped for 6 periods , they stay LOSERS
The Canucks are only successful when their D activates and helps push a puck control game. See game 5. Instead of playing to win they chose playing to not lose in games 6 and 7. Didn’t work.
Silovs was amazing in net and probably the reason why this series went to 7 games, as a oilers fan good game canucks. You guys played amazing, 2 great teams going at it doesnt get any better then that.
What happened? Silovs was the only Canuck that showed up to every game this series.
I mean Edmonton had its moments like Ryan McLeod hasn’t showed up all playoffs including round 1. Perry was benched they had to swap goalies because Skinner was bad. The difference is Skinner found his game again Nuge woke up , Kane woke up , McDavid woke up. Still need Perry and McLeod to wake up in the next round here.
I thought Garland was the most dangerous Canuck.
@@ryans413 Absolutely agree! Didn’t mean to take anything away from Edmonton. They progressively got better every game in the series, they found their groove and were overall the better team. Games 6 and 7 showcased that.
Every game? Then it wouldn’t have gone to 7
@@danielnam9026 And then boser when he played that was a critical loss
Hell of a year the Canucks gave us! We came into the season with no expectations and they gave us a year to remember! Now Patrick Alvin needs to work on re signing all the upcoming free agents we have
lol , losers copping .... the closest you will ever get was the losses in 1994 and 2011 ... keep losing
Every team is gonna lose bro
@cindybates68 Haters gotta hate. Vancouver is a really good team. They are position for some very good years ahead. I would just appreciate it if they didn’t spend so much draft capital, be like Dallas and use that capital to compliment your team. You’ll need those cap friendly entry level contracts.
@@michaelmaier5565 the development of the players in the ahl is key , you aint gonna build a winner with 2 lines , look at toronto 1/2 cap to 5 players...
@cindybates68 Facts and that’s exactly why Dallas is favoured to win. Vancouver made a huge mistake trading prospects and draft capital in year one of their window.
I've been living out of the country and whoever is Mr Hockey Psych, buddy you've made me feel right at home with the recaps and breakdowns, let's fucking go
I think Vancouvers problem is they treated Edmonton like Nashville, that series was WAY more defensive, a lot of collapsing to the net to block passes and shots but Oilers are an offensive powerhouse if you give them that extra time and space and especially in game 6 you can really see how thats beneficial for Edmonton. Vancouver didnt properly adjust to Edmontons different style of play again really evident in the last 2 games of this series.
Canucks had way too many passengers. Listening to Tocchet, he knew his team wasn’t going to win. They couldn’t execute and just prayed for flukey, lucky bounces.
@@danielnam9026 Garland, Lindholm and Boeser are keepers, they tried their hearts out. Pettersson is worrysome. Right now hes the weak link. Could end up like another Marner if hes not careful.
@@lAmCanad1an I think petterson was dealing with something, as you could see near the end of the series he started looking more like himself and made dekes and nice passes
The Canucks just looked burnt out.
I fucking love my Oilers. but wow props to Vancouver for an amazing series, I had my doubts with 5 minutes left 😭😂 and Silovs?! I wish he was our goalie 🙏🏻
Same
Yup, the way he played, he’d actually give the Oilers an opportunity to win the Cup.

If Edmonton had Silovs I would think that they would win the cup, what an amazing performance by the rookie, future looks bright in Vancouver. Now let’s put the toxic bs behind and enjoy the rest of these playoffs
Oilers goalie coach would ruin Silovs. Canucks have the goalie whisperer Ian Clark, who develops Vezina caliber goalies.
Indeed, after Edmonton hired Coffey, the defence suddenly started doing a lot better, now to get a good goalie coach, and they're set
What happened in game 7 was Boeser couldn't play so they lost by a goal, the real question is what was with that game 6 blow out
Lmao the wheel of excuses.
You never had a chance in this series. What happened is the significantly better team won. You bums were outshot 25-4 in the first half. You didn't even look like an NHL team until Edmonton sat back to rest for Dallas, and then after the 2nd goal, the Oilers didn't allow a single shot. You got utterly destroyed
What do you mean what was with they got destroyed in games 6 that’s what happened
One player isn’t why Vancouver lost. Vancouver lost because Vancouver sucks.
Sucks eh? Sure bud.
I knew all of you pigeons would have this take. Look at the shot totals for the game, top, and zone time and scoring chances throughout the entire series let alone game six and seven. Dumb uneducated take
Big stars fan here, can’t wait to see what the Oilers have in store for us! 💚⭐️
Canucks fan cheering for the stars!
This was one of the hardest games to watch so far. Canucks played like they were day dreaming of being in Cabo 😂
As a Vancouverite, I'm happy they didn't make a comeback as they did not deserve to move on with how they played the past 2 games.
They didn’t deserve to beat Nashville but they got lucky and did.
Your guys put in a decent effort without their top scorer or top goalie, but also this is possibly the end of the cup contention window for the Oilers. So a mix of Edmonton having experience, reasons to want it more, and better players is a lot for Canucks to make up for with systems and grit.
Vancouver played great alot more than they didn't. Most of these guys never played in the playoffs before. They'll learn.
@@Cheesiemccatbutt did nashville deserve to beat the canucks? i dont think they did. saros kept it close
@@Cheapshot420420 but the canucks were better in that series. Crazy bonuces yes but they took advantage
I am so glad we are in the conference finals. Good series Canucks
I expected that to go to 7 but it was disappointing the canucks sat back in 6 and most of 7 until the end when it was too latw
Was pulling for the Canucks but the better team won based on just about every metric. I think after the all-out effort to grab Game 5 VAN simply ran out of gas with this version of the Canucks not having a tremendous amount of playoff experience but credit to the Canucks for taking it to 7 and once again almost providing a miracle without Boeser and Demko. EDM also adjusted and played really great D those last two games. As to their chance against DAL, of course there is a chance - this is the playoffs and anything can happen. On paper DAL has a depth edge but EDM has played excellent on both the PK and PP so special teams could definitely be a favorable check mark in EDM box. It should be a tremendous series and one that goes long.
Pettersen was a let down, but honestly it was a team effort. Just so weird how they were so hot/cold. They have the ability to dominate, but for whatever reason would just go long periods without wanting it. Seemed like a lack of drive to me. Oilers wanted it more. Amazing year, lots of great things to pull out of that season, just need to add some scoring to the mix and they will be unstoppable.
You are like the Jomboy of fun hockey play breakdowns. Great editing and voice-over. I really like both these teams. Would've loved to see Toronto against another Canadian team in Stanley Cup Final. Joseph Woll was incredible. Oh well. Love when you call out the Cody Ceci goal “looks like he’s been wiring pucks in the driveway, every summer since." Hearing hockey vernacular stuff puts a smile on my face. Keep doin what yer doin. Mo
What a great series, might have shaved 15 years off my life due to nail biting action, but the oilers got it done. Here’s to hoping Dallas/Edm doesn’t take another 15 from me
I am a long-time Canucks' fan. Fair game assessment.
I do believe the better team won as you can't expect to win games/series when you generate as few shots and converted powerplays as the Canucks. At the same time, my hope in the team has been rekindled by their never-give-up attitude/play this year and some of the up-and-coming young players. I hope that somehow we can build on this success by adding a few more contributing forwards with the heart of a lion- like JT Miller.
I have trust in the management and coaching staff to make sound decisions for the team based on the limited team salary cap space available. My biggest beef is the overpaid self-proclaimed superstars, who demand big salaries and then do not largely show up in the big-time games (ie. Petterson) as that is my definition of a true superstar. I believe some of the overpaid egos are hurting the team and the league as a whole as the Playoffs certainly establish that it takes a cohesive team of warriors to go all the way to the cup. Yes, I am talking to you Toronto and Edmonton.
Canucks are back in the Playoffs, they can build on this if they make smart additions and trades. Tocchet’s style of coaching tends to burn players out over a long season leaving little left for the Playoffs. Plus it doesn’t help that Canucks superstars are small and easy targets in Playoff hockey. I think that shocked them a bit in the past few weeks.
I don't think one team was better than the other. Would love to see playoffs redux match where both teams are at 100%. Vancouver had way too many health issues to say that they were a "worse team" than the oilers here.
@@Revi0us perhaps next year…
Good work! i really enjoy how you break down plays, good or bad. it helps since i miss it during the game
Oilers are lethal right now. Stars have to slow them down same as with the Avs or they'll have a hard time
Calvin Picard really impressed me. He played great all season and for him to step up in games 4 and 5 allowed Skinner to regroup for games 6 and 7. Skinner is a young goalie. He's solid in net but not fantastic. I think he has the potential to be great but he sometimes struggles under pressure. For Picard to step in and take some of the weight off Skinner's shoulders was great to see as an Oilers fan.
They have a great team! Unfortunately they’re just young playoff wise. The lack of playoff experience as a team definitely shows. Good run canucks!
pettersson with a houdini act in the post-season. after signing a f' you contract earlier. i'd be pissed if i was his teammate. he was dead weight
for real what a joke to make threats and then play like ass at the most crucial time to play well. team deserves a better performance than what he put out there and everyone knows it
Agreed. Pretty pissed about his give aways and non-chalant play most of the series.
YES go oilers. That being said, I am Canadian and if the Canucks won, I would have been cheering for them.
Great series, props to both teams and no losers here. The fans got a special treat watching! One can only hope this continues!
Stars fan here. Excellent analysis.
Isles fan here. Congrats Oilers. well played. I don't know what happened to the canuck fanbase but they've not been very friendly lately. Now with them out all I need is the panthers to move on and everything is fine.
most of the shit talking is coming from oilers fans... has been since the start
@Revi0ous didn’t seem like it to me. Nuck fanbase is known to be a fairweather one and ofc the bandwagoners do a dissercvice to the real fans, but this is nothing new.
@@Revi0us I always liked the Canucks. I would have totally pulled for them were it not for channels like legorocks99 going out of his way to troll Isles fans at every chance.
I noted hostility from that fanbase during the draft when J.T. Miller was being shopped. Canucks wanted Dobson and we were like "no chance".
Fast forward to the Horvat trade and now many Canuck fans act like assholes for some strange reason. Don't blame us for Beauvillier and Ratu not working out.
@@robinhoodwinker8621 hard not to be fairweather fans when the team is mismanaged every other decade. 10 year gaps between each playoff
@@veritasinvicta8128 I think the reality of the situation is every NHL team out there has a base of toxicity that speaks volumes louder than the people who are just on board to watch their favourite team play some good hockey.
Edmontons adjustments were pretty impressive. Vancouver doesn’t have skill players that can hold on to the puck when the faster more skilled players pressure them.
Silovs is amazing. Him with a healthy Demko will be a tough duo . Hope to see canucks move further along next season
A great series but game 7 was a great let down. Canucks had 2 shots in the first period, then a 4 minute power play without a single shot on net? I thought this was game 7, do or die. It’s obvious the better team won this series.
Amazing oilers game 7 performance. Great comeback after 3-2 series defecit. 👍
Excellent analysis as usual. The best NHL channel out there.
Agree.

The third string goalie was the only one to show up all the time. Sadly we are not a playoff team and got carried far beyond our capabilities, nucks were outshot almost every single period and most games were just one goal games. Need a full rebuild except for the goalies and a few of the defence, why is Myers allowed on the ice? At all? Also, having 11 million being invisible is what the makemelaughs do, don't go full leafblower, never go full leafblower...
Myers’s is re signing stop smoking crack
As a lifelong Canucks fan, I had a strong fear that the Canucks would crumble from home ice 'flopsweat' syndrome. After they did nothing on the 4 min PP in the first, i sensed that was game over. Sadly, this suspicion turned out to be accurate.
But overall, to make it to game 7 in the second round, essentially without the services of both Petterson and Demko, is pretty impressive. Here's hoping this is the beginning of regular post season appearances by the team. Now, aside from decisions on who to resign in the off season, the biggest mystery, the Elephant in the room : wtf is up with EP40? Confidence issues? Too skinny for the post season? He is a confounding young man. Best of luck Mr Rutherford and Mr Allvin in sorting this out.
I feel like the Canucks came off a lot better in this series than I felt they should have. Having to come from behind in almost every game and you can imagine the lack of urgency in the early stages of each game would catch up to them. Crucially in the long term , getting halfway into the playoffs should mean that this core has some decent playoff experience now.
Demko/Silovs will be fun though.
Agree - been saying the same. EDM played down to them by flubbing all their leads, but I agree this was very valuable playoff experience. I trust your guys' coaching to see that truth and get GMJR to pick up some offensive support in the offseason for a real deep run (rather than a miracle one like the Habs in '21).
Silovs was a beast for them and the only one keeping them in the game
lets be honest, do the canucks really deserve Silovs with their absolutely terrible 40 minutes of not showing up to help him out? any other goalie and this game would have ended 6-2 instead of 3-2. with how the canucks played in games 6 and 7 you have to wonder how the hell they made it to round 2.
The Canucks have always had confidence problems that can haunt any team that has never won a cup. With that said, they were a better team this year than we have witnessed in the past.
Good regular season team, but they were playoff pretenders. They had way too many passengers and that mindset carried throughout the second round.
Im not a Canuck fan but you guys should be very proud of yr team. Yr goalie was outstanding.
I'm a Wings fan but I'm hoping the Oilers get it done. Connor McDavid's name belongs on the cup.
im a habs fan and me too. idk why so many people are rooting against them. It's good for the league if Mcdavid wins a cup
Been loving these breakdowns! Was hoping this video would cover Stars and Avs game 6 though with Duchene's "goalie interference"... Hopefully that vid is still coming :)
This is a great opportunity for the Oilers to finish their redemption arc and for McDavo to get his first cup. Oilers vs Rangers finals.

Sounds like you're qualified to be in a management position in the Vancouver Canucks organization.
@@ThePsychoReturns The Canucks management is arguably the best part of the canucks so that's not the burn you think it is. Allvin/Rutherford made some great moves this year and the coaching staff is Tocc/Foote/Gonchar/The Sedins and while you can criticise some playoff tactics, they were beasts all year. Yeah the PP obviously needs work but overall the actual bones of the team are top quality.
You have to note one of the canucks biggest weaknesses was shooting accuracy. Less than 16% of their shots were even on target; thats not all blocked shots, sometimes you just need to get it on net
Felt like I was watching the Leafs
Rangers vs Canucks Stanley cup rematch would've been pretty cool. The game has changed dramatically in the last 30 years.
love your style of game review, would like to see more like it
Gar has been my guy all year, but Petey let me down long before they gave him that inflated contract. Great team, but I knew Oilers would go further this year. Excellent series!
I’m canucks fan that lives in Edmonton so this was the battle I didn’t want to happen but at the end both teams played fantastic this year and it showed that Vancouver smoking them during regular season doesn’t mean shit and Edmonton gonna be in a really deep battle with dallas
Silovs was pretty much the only person who showed to the game except for like the last 10 minutes Silovs is the future of our franchise
Oilers fan here!
Great oiler Canuck round!
Oilers in seven games against Dallas!
Hughes kind of disappeared offensively in this series and nobody can seem to figure out why. He wasn't getting punished like he was against Nashville. Pettersson has to be better too. During the bubble run, both those guys were absolute money.. you have to think that maybe they were hurt. With a 3rd string goalie, barely getting 20 shots per game, they had no business being in a Round 2 Game 7. Silovs is absolutely the playoff MVP for Vancouver, and he's got a bright future and is likely the defacto backup now. If they can learn to play 60 minute hockey games, they'll be deadly in years to come. So far this core has seen two 2nd round Game 7s against teams that are contenders, still 5 more Round 2 wins since 2020 than the Leafs have in over 20 years.
Zadorovs Giant head caused increased gravity to the entire team.
It seemed like a constant trend for them: they'd float around for 50 minutes, then put on the boosters for the last 10. It worked against Nashville, but Edmonton's a much better team (tho it did work in g1).
Garland and Silovs were there for the whole game, everyone else was sleeping
Tocchet preaches quality and quantity with SOG. You can't do that in the playoffs in a must win. The problem with Vancouver is they were too passive. Sure their defense is great but they need better offense. Trading Kuzmenko was a mistake.
If I was Silovs and looked at the SOG diff, id be soo livid. Hope they put him as the main goalie next season
great video again, congrats! I wanted Oilers to win, glad they did and incredible how hard it was - great series. The issue with blood clots sounds familiar ;) Hope he gets well and that people learn not to take experimental juice next time around.
as for the semi final round, will you make a prediction - comparison video to highlight dallas vs edmonton game style or players to watch out for?
Thank you.
Bear in mind that clotting issues have been documented in hockey historically, long predating the experimental juice, so it’s worth not to jump the gun. There have also been a few extremely unusual deaths. It’s a punishing game.
@@robinhoodwinker8621 LOL yes, all these blood clots are normal especially on top of the line athlete and is a historical fact... the punishing nature of the game makes blood clots and this player in particular was a nasty physical guy, man you have to stop thinking like a liberal or maybe blame this blood clot is due to climate change ;)
The oilers NEED to understand that their approach to protecting the lead does NOT work. Puck possession in the offensive zone is the BEST defense you can play. In other words, Edmonton should never stop trying to score. It leads to more possession which means goals/not allowing goals.
Side note, Garlund looks so goddamn silly with that ridiculous turtle neck.
protection for skate to the neck
Not silly when you consider there was a hockey player who died recently because of a skate slashing the neck area..
I dunno when you see the replays of Marchand's skate cutting up a guy's jersey and Kane's skate when Zadorov checked him into the boards it makes a lot of sense to have some kinda neck protection. Look at all the stuff NFL players wear and they don't have blades on their feet.
yeah WTH is that Garlund take?? Even if it wasn't literal protective gear, who cares? Dude was the best Canuck not-named Silovs all night. Love that type of player: speedy littler guy with skill in hands too.
They don't even need to try to score, the Canuck passive defence in their zone means they can just eat the clock by passing it back and forth whilst the Canucks watch and barely put any pressure on.
I kinda like the look of the neck protection.
as an oilers fan i would rather play against demko just cause as i see it silovs came into this series ready to make his mark with everything to lose he was playing for his life between the posts i just feel he brought more passion than demko wouldve and i think he really showed he belongs theres gonna be alot of teams looking to pick him up as a backup and maybe even a starter he stood on his head that entire series the mans an animal
I’ll be honest I do not watch the canucks but I watched every game this series and there would be stretches of 10+ minutes where I completely forgot Quinn Hughes even existed. I would only remember he was even on the team when the announcers would mention him playing for UofM or the camera zooming in on his face. Definitely didn’t do enough to help his team
Don't see enough about this. He deserves being called out, being Captain and all. For sure wasn't a sole reason, but Pettersson got a lot of flak - so should he. Boeser and JT need more help than a random bad Zadorov goal from the line only due to goalies being in reverse-VH lol
usually when you don't hear a defensmens name that means he4 is doing his "defensive" job , but at the end of the day vancouver and toronto are the same , LOSERS!!!
injured/exhausted. looked like he could barely skate by game 7. not normal for him to be slow like that
I think they were mentally exhausted from defending the 2 best players in the world. The core players who aren't leaving in FA, got valuable experience. It was a great season.
Someone give this Silovs kid a starting contract STAT. Kid played his butt off, stats be damned. They aren’t everything.
the canucks can get a really good trade for silovs
Glad to see this series go to 7. Sucks that the Canucks couldn't win but I can see them coming back stronger and more driven next year.
It’s really disappointing that Vancouver lost, but as an avs fan I’m just glad to see any Canadian team finally break the spell and get some good playoff runs. It can only be a good thing for the western side of the league the more competitive it is. I think people are sleeping on the west and hockey fans haven’t yet realized that we are in an era of western dominance in the sport. Not that the east doesn’t have killer teams like rangers and panthers and bruins, but those teams don’t have the players that are redefining the sport. Players like Cale Makar and quinn Hughes are redefining their roles and how teams will draft defensemen until the next great upset. Players like Nathan Mackinnon, mcdavid and dreistle are so dominant teams have to build entire strategies around shutting just them down which means leaving holes in other places in your lineup while at the same time our teams in the west are so deep that no one can figure out how to shut down 3 lines consistently enough to win. Dallas did it because Dallas has some of that young blood too. Guys like Roberts are huge for not just that team but the west in general. Sure the east has Pasternak, Matthew’s and all them, but what has that gotten the east? Nothing. Because they’re all still trying to play hockey like it’s 1980. It’s the reason the panthers and the rangers are crushing everyone over there. They realized hockey was changing and they changed their game to capitalize on the fact that so many fans and analysts seem to still be unaware there’s a massive shift in how the game is played happening right now and it’s why the west is going to dominate the next decade of NHL hockey. We have the expansions to back it up too. It’s time to start breathing that life back into the East and get some expansions out there too. Canada needs to get its shit together and win a cup too so that you guys can finally talk about some potential expansions or at least better parity when it comes to how they’re paid compared to American stars (though American stars also have to pay for a ton of shit out of pocket that the government just does for you in Canada like healthcare)
Their complete abandonment of game 6 could have played a factor too. They never even pulled the goalie. Did nothing to try and get a spark to bring into game 7. Just gave up completely. That’s foolish in the playoffs I think. Momentum means so much and can be hard to just build up from scratch. If they at least went down fighting, they could keep that going potentially. Instead they just played the same way they did in a lot of game 6 for most of game 7. It’s not everything, but a contributing factor it is for sure I think.
What a series! Had to go to 7 games, for the good of hockey. Here hoping that Stars vs Oilers is as good as this.
The "Canucks" with 2 Canadian players total. The better team won for sure. 16 Canadians on the Oilers bench.
Cody Ceci has scored in BOTH game 7's he has played in as an Oiler including a series winner in 2022, he is basically Justin Williams at the point, obviously.
If the Oilers can come back from 30th in the League in November to West Coast Finals in May? I think anything is possible with team.
People forget that the Oilers were the best team in the league in every category since January 1st.
As a Panthers fan, I was rooting for Carolina and Vancouver... I want for this year to be ours, and thought Carolina and Vancouver would be easier opponents than all others in the East and West.... Let's go Panthers!!! 💪
There are no easy opponents in the playoffs 😂
That's why I said easier never said easy.
Great series and video, can't wait to see the Canucks back in the playoffs in 2036 😉. I'm a Canucks fan but I'm not hopeful with their history.
They went up against Gretzky 2.0 and the future Stanley cup champs that’s what happened
The reason they lost was the fact they just didnt adjust to what Edmonton was doing. They got pressured then they would just get out numbered and end up in a puck battle because they arent moving their feet. That along with the fact they would just dump and change 90% of the time without first establishing offensive pressure killed all their offense for the first 2 periods if not more. They just didnt play like their season was on the line. I almost feel like they got to focused on quick shifts to save their legs for mcdavid when they needed to lay it all on the line and just get aggressive on offense. This was a game the canucks could have easily won thanks to silovs playing outstanding but they just didnt get it going when they needed to.
Silovs did a fantastic job being thrown into the playoffs like he was. Has the potential to be a star for sure.
Silovs was great all playoffs but you can't help but wonder if having Demko in net would have given the players more confidence at least earlier on which would have given them confidence moving on. Also can we get Pettey a helmet that fits his head, that thing looks gigantic...
Also how is Kris Knoblauch not up for the Adams award? The Oilers were a shell of a hockey team to start the year and then turned it around big time to possibly have a shot at the cup. Weather or not it was the players stepping up or his direct influence I think he deserves at least a finalist position over oh i don't know a guy name Bowness...
I know it's a bit late but I'd love to see your breakdown of Game 6 between Dallas and Colorado
Zadorov looked like he was in La La land, even after Miller’s shit hit him the foot, it’s like he never felt it, he didn’t even flinch. That could have been a tying goal.
Just a crazy good series. 6/7 games decided by one goal. Two teams very well put together, but Edmonton’s high end skill set them apart. Too bad I couldn’t watch it because their games are always on when I go to bed lol
I think Hyman was the top player. Just everything, goals/assists, positioning, chances. He's become quite the start player. McDavid was a bit of a let down, not many star moves outta him. Hopefully McJesus turns it up against Dallas, they'll need it
Zadorov chasing Kane into the corner when he doesn't even have the puck was extra stupid. Game 7 is not the time to settle scores. Too bad now we've got just one Canadian team left to cheer for.
*My nightmare scenario a Florida / Dallas final* I'd rather have a colonoscopy.
🤣
Honestly the Canucks shouldn’t have even been in this series, they got DRASTICALLY outplayed 6 out of 7 games. Sucks they couldn’t get them out of their earlier then 7 and give the players a bit of a break
when a series goes 7 games and that 7th game is a 1 goal difference, it means either team could’ve won… Canucks could’ve won too if a few bounces went a different way🤷🏻♂️…. like Nuge’s goal came from a lucky bounce …. but i am happy EDM won because i have the correct final 4 for my bracket 😂
I do too... oh wait.... canes blew it... again.... no I'm still not over it. Go "giant meteor". Go Edmonton.
@@JH22533 😆
Had skinner played as well as he did in games 6 and 7, the Oilers would have swept this series. Vancouver out played them in game 5, that's it. Stop acting like this series was close, it wasn't. Edmonton absolutely dominated the Canucks
Almost every goal the Canucks scored all series were lucky bounces, put in off a defender or tipped in. They used up all their luck.
The west I almost got perfect I had Edmonton Dallas round 3 just how the teams got there i didn’t get right. The east is totally screwed up for me lol
I can't with the Cody ceci reference 😂
I'm a Vancouverite, born and raised, and an ex Canucks fan. I will NEVER jump back on the bandwagon again and support this organization. After they blew the 2011 Stanley Cup finals to Boston and the ensuing riots, I said never again. This is a perpetually losing organization without a legacy and not a single Stanley Cup to their credit. Every 3 yrs or so, they do a re-shuffle where they change the nucleus group, fire a coach, make a few trades and they MIGHT do well for a period, but ALWAYS fall short in the end. And round and round we go. Good critique on the series tho 👍
The Bouchard goal was credited to Hyman. It went off Hyman before going in the net.
Hey man, really nice title! You might feel it's simple and boring, but it's really helpful for us who really care and rewatch later and stuff. Great work. Love the anti-highight callouts too, like Mikheyev's stone hands and Connor Brown shooting it right at the logo. Describes a lot of beer leaguers (including myself) lool.
Anyone know if Van's D-zone passive was like that in their wins? Because if so, it's prob not the reason they lost like the vid kind of insinuates. I feel like the Oilers are actually much better than the Nucks, but played down to their level. Every loss EDM had was a blown lead. My bracket is 100% so far, but with EDM having top PP/PK, I'm actually convinced they might beat Dallas.
Shame Nucks could only muster 10min of high level-play w/o Boeser, it was great ending but took way to long to get. Wasn't unexpected though, an unexperienced team needs to go through a loss like that. That's why I never had them exiting Rd2.
As a Lavian myself it feels strange and funny how americans say Silovs. Anyways I watched last years WC when Silvos showed himself in his best, and now he still is walling off the goals. Good luck to him and Vancouver!
Edmonton vs Dallas is going to be fun to watch
you were right
