We lost all our big bodies from last year and never replaced them (Bjug and Kostin). No one is scared to get hit by anyone on our team except maybe Kane. We have had a ton of giveaways because of imminent hits, doesn't seem like Vancouver is near as scared. It's seemed the same as Vegas series last year, we hit them early in the series a LOT, then the hits just completely fell off, loss of a lot of physicality.
Oilers coach made a huge mistake playing the top 3 players 25+ minutes on average every night. It’s the Playoffs, not the all-star game. And now it’s evident all 3 are burnt. Same thing every year.
Have read this alot. What I wonder is that true? How are pro athletes that are in shape burned out? from extra 2 or 3 shifts? eg burned out playing say 27min and not burned out if play 23min?
@@thewanderer8643 Because its not just about skating around. A lot of these players are banged up from the 1st round and especially second round. Drai is a good example because he got injured mid game this round. You are getting hit, crosschecked, backchecking, throwing hits etc... Everything in the playoffs is amplified, its not just some regular season game against the Ducks. Those extra minutes add up the longer the series goes on. If this team got Pickard level goaltending since game 1, I think the Oilers would have been done in 5-6 and it wouldn't be a huge issue. But Van hung around those games too often and now they have to leave everything on the ice just to force game 7.
Hi, reading this at 1:30pm Vancouver time/Friday----Is he and team still in Vancouver? or is this interview after some morning skate back at home? (After last nights game) Do both teams fly out or do they both fly out today(Friday) or did Oilers fly out last night after game and Canucks go home for the night and morning skate in Vancouver then fly out?
That's the difference. We, the Canucks, don't feel the pressure. Everyone, and I mean everyone in the sports world has counted us out, and continues to. We weren't supposed to make the playoffs.......were supposed to be low in the conference and division. After an incredible season, everyone said it was luck. Entering the playoffs, we were supposed to tank, then we lose our star goalie, and everyone said it was over. Making it to the second round, everyone said the Oilers would crush us period. There is zero pressure.

Every WIN all year long….Fans like you always come to our page EVERY WIN, tryna sound some type of way 🤣 Jealousy ASF! German Gretz and best in the WORLD baby Let’s go OILERS!!!! 🧡💙
damn…huge Oil fan here but that look in his eyes does not have me feeling any better. Looks like he knows this series is likely over. Oilers have blown their chances to take this series and taking two in a row, while not a large ask in general does feel that way right about now.
I have watched the oilers all year, and I hate then, but at the trade deadline when they didn't get a top 4 defence, a 2nd line scorer, I knew it was done. All pressure is on them. Cause win or lose it's been a great season for the nucks
Ya play with more intensity! And stop giving to puck away! I wonder what the stat is for just handing them the puck. That play by #2 as a defensive player was absolutely horrendous! Who plays the puck to the front of the net under pressure and with the opponents attacking!
I believe you guys will get it done! has to be a complete team effort. The coach needs to utilize the 3rd n 4th line more. Need to be more sharper around the net!
LEON ITS NOT OVER YOU KNOW THAT! RALLY THE TROOPS! LETS MAKE A STAND TOMORROW AND TAKE IT TO GAME 7 AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS! YOU GUYS CAN DO IT! WE BELIEVE!
Exactly! He is the key player for all in the playoffs and stopping him is stopping the Oilers. McDavid has the skills, draisaitl the plays - he makes all players around himself in the lineup better, they start in scoring for example. Draus would deserve a Stanley cup for the his permanent engagement alone! Also McDavid would
Not sure why the coach put McDavid and Drai together at the end of the game there. They clearly weren't going all night and putting them together lead to that late goal in the third period.
lol huh? HOW does putting 2 "top players together" even for 1 shift cause Millers goal? So if only one of them is on Miller wouldnt get a goal? Explain please
They should have played SIlent Sam.....they could have....choices....right? Its all about choices. Leon Burger has made BIG BANK so far in his short life, the next contract is the retirement contract. This is what you call a resounding success.A STanley Cup will find a man if he is suppossed to have hi name on it, thats a different issue than a Career and fiscal reality.
Oilers will win tomorrow for sure we let Vancouver get momentum from game one they blived they can beat oilers we let that game go and now we should be ahead Vancouver
Lots of teams have won two games in a row this playoff season so I don't give a lot of credit to that statement. It boils down to who wants it more and if the Canucks take another night off like they did in game four it will go to seven. If it goes to seven I believe Edmonton will win unfortunately with the toll that this series has taken on, them, They will be out in four in the next series!!!
What element might help? Dunno...maybe McInvisible being any other then completely useless like he always is when it really matters? Really, really looking forward seeing you at another Franchise Leon. No matter where you go, please make sure there is no one named Holland in the office. One day, you´ll have the Stanley Cup you deserve.
Get the powerplay back…stop playing I don’t want the puck you have it no I don’t want it you take it. Shoot the puck! Crowd the net! Connor McDAVID and you need to score goals. Connor McDAVID has to score goals …defense must stop Quinn HUGHES FROM HAVING FULL REIGN OF THE ZONE. Get physical with him.
@@BobsUruncle-dl7cs well when he’s in their zone OILERS defense backs in to that 4 box defense and never attacks him and he does what he wants in their own zone . I think the OILERS should attack the blue line better…use the old trap the NJ DEVILS use to play.
The end of an era..It was..... frustrating and will probably reflect poorly on the Oilers for all time to not have any success whatsoever with 2 of the greatest players ever.
If Playing an extra 6 minutes or 2 shifts a period in a series makes a pro athlete tired than these arent pros. I mean come on. 6 more minutes a game? No excuse @ commentors
Was great having you in Edmonton, Leon. We all know you're gone come next trade deadline, and you're basically eliminated this year, as you guys don't have a chance of winning two straight in this series. Was a good career in Edmonton, but, it's time to move on, and I don't blame you. 🍻🏒🥅
Good luck Leon your always one of my favourites buddy stay strong 💪
