Wow dude.. immediately making a video after a heartbreaking loss right when the wound is fresh and posting a review IN an oilers jersey as an outspoken Canucks fan?! I have to say, as an oilers fan, I respect the hell out of this man
He’s been emotionally disconnected from Canucks since 2011 🤣
Na this guy is one of the best guys I’ve ever met that I’ve never met. If i hit lotto id sponsor what ever he wants
I respect THG more than any other hockey guy on UA-cam
Ya I could never
There's a reason why he's called TheHockeyGuy. He's just a guy who loves hockey, has a few favorite teams but enjoys covering every team. He's always objective, and is able to criticize his own teams. Nothing but respect for this man
Silovs is the only reason this game is so close. This series is getting more interesting as it goes on.
Silovs playing a sweeper keeper in the soccer style, coming miles out of his net to break that up. That was pretty awesome, even as an Oilers fan.
Yes, well done by Silovs and with big time confidence!
That probably had Nucks fans sweating bullets, mad respect to that kid.
Great mention!!
As an Oiler fan, Silovs is unreal.
yea he is that poke check on the kane rush was insane
He's good, but also getting more than a bit lucky.
I disagree, if everything he’s gotten unlucky. Half his goals against have been off his own teammates (Cole…)
Anything* not everything
He Suck, but so do all Canadian teams
Simply don't understand how the Canucks cant turn up the pressure more regularly.
I agree, they always seem to be slow in the first two periods.
It's hard to turn up the pressure against a good team who's working to shut down, and counter that pressure. Both teams are feeling it.
I feel like it's because McDavid and the other guy haven't played 30 minutes of ice time.
@@pyRoy6 didn't stop them in the third. When they have urgency they can do it. They need to find more urgency earlier in the game.
@@danielpatterson5189 Or did the Oilers let up in the third? Probably a little of both. Desperation mode can work, but it's a double-edged sword. You probably don't want to be in that mode from the first period unless you're down 3-0 or 3-1 in the series.
Silovs was the only reason this wasn't blowout. The one shot on net on a 4 minute minor was crazy. Not good enough.
The oilers have a really good pk tho!
Vancouver needs to be the better team 5 on 5. The Oilers special teams is usually super
He almost carried them into overtime. If Miller didn’t go for the half block screening Silovs, this series maybe pretty much over. Now it’s game on.
Just realized I've never seen THG sneeze.
Sooner or later he'll slip up, and then, we'll be here.. watching..
He left one in during his Luke Hughes prospect preview
I remember when this guy used to argue with oilers fans in the comments years ago. Respect for being professional and doing this video despite being a canucks fan, not easy to do. Good for you.
.
Pickard was good tonight. His first playoff start and win!
As much as I wanted Vancouver to win. Seeing the Oilers celebrate Pickard’s first playoff win really made me smile. He played well :)
@@NotACrookagreed, watching his parents was pretty cool
This has been the closest and most interesting series so far
What an ending to this game.
We are witnessing an all time classic before our eyes. This series is nuts.
Big props to you for what feels like quite unbiased coverage. I know you’re a Canucks fan, but as an oilers fan I enjoy your content, even during this series. That must be hard to do
I’m sorry Shannon but I think you’re too easy on Pettersson, guy is nonexistent. Not playing nearly as good as we are paying him to be
This is just his 2nd Playoff series, but compared to his first, yeah the stats are underwhelming.
He has to be injured. He cant shoot the puck. Why put your sniper in front of the net for deflects instead of in his favorite position?
Did not understand the signing..his best hockey was before he was getting slammed by aggressive and sometimes cheap shots from opponents. It’s a reality some of the young phenoms get hit so much in first few seasons and their play gets diminished. Not sure I would give huge contracts out..when player becomes a shadow of their entry years. Some players overcome the adversity of this. Hischier and Hughes with Devils. Laine not so much. Crosby did.
For better or worse, confidence and work ethic appear to be going hand in hand for Pettersson, and he has lost much of his swagger.
I wonder about the dynamic between him and Tocchet. Seems to be a player who needs freedom for creativity in a system that values structure and grinding.
That's not the only reason, even if it does play into it, but it would make sense.
Of course, it would be an explanation, not an excuse. If you want to earn superstar money in this league, you'd better be able to work through issues like this. Then again, if you want to be a coach in this league, you need to be able to get the best out of your players.
Regardless, I hope that together, they will find a way to open the floodgates for a guy who definitely has the potential to make a difference in these playoffs.
Edit: "wouldn't" -> "would"
@@methany8788 Well said.
Really entertaining game, the Oilers dominated most of that game. Reffing was immaculate, not a factor in this game at all.
NO, we'll find something. We're not the American fanbases you guys been bullying for the past few years. The one thing we've been waiting 10 years for, is to be hated again.
This is the first game both teams can admit that the officiating was excellent.
They will never admit that😂 theyre hockey fans
@@ericcoderre9986sure I can’t say it was excellent.
But it was pretty good tonight, nothing egregious and fairly consistent. Best we’ve had all series.
It was finally good. But that dint make up for all the other bad times.
If it keeps on being excellent, I like the Oilers chances. G O G!
Well played Oilers you guys definitely played great today. The Canucks definitely need to play better the third period push from them is good but they need play a full 60 min game.
They dominated the Nucks for 40 minutes. Canucks can’t keep this charade going forever. They have to start playing 40-60 minutes or they’re gonna lose.
Drai first guy to hit 20 points, we gotta act surprised
Oiler fan, here. I was impressed with the play of Silovs. If he wasn't as good as he was, this game would have been a blowout. It took Vancouver 45 minutes of play to notice that they were in a playoff game.
Yeah really terrible effort by the team except for silovs. Idk why they can’t play like its a playoff game lol
That game I really wanted to turn off cuz it was like watching a bunch of guys who don’t want to be on the team, they don’t care about the team success.
Half of the roster plays like that..
Huge Canucks fan here, disappointed in their starts the last 2 games
Take it easy -the oilers played good defense and Pickard wasn’t really tested. Oilers played their best game of the series and they won by one goal with less then a minute. The momentum was on Vancouver going into overtime.
@@kevinb3189 oilers dominated this game and half of game 3.
Oilers played a good game but the Canucks played one of their worst of the playoffs
@@NerdAlert66Tocchet will have these guys coming out strong in game 5 they know it’s a must win and on home ice
that poke check
Was amazing. Kane isn't the fastest guy out there, but man what a play. As an Oiler fan, I was like, why couldn't that have been Foegle or McLeod? Lol...someone with a bit more speed, I don't think Silov would have dared make that play if it was McDavid. But Foegle or McLeod he might have......it was a beauty of a play by him though.
Haha is this is reincarnation of Dominik Hasek in Latvian form 😂
@@rubberduckie5518 wow another hasek in the nhl would be great!
I noticed Shannon accidentally skipped reading the line on his whiteboard about Silovs making that crazy skate-out-of-his-net pokecheck on Kane. WISH the Canucks had won the game for that to have gone down as legend.. Still does, to me!
Might be ready to add a shirt to the merch section that says
THE FANS CALL ONE
THE REFEREES DO NOT
Im waiting for meter like magnets to show up to illustrate how strong the crowd are shouting that the ref sucks
I also like the “refs call one, the fans do not.”
Considering Pickard held the canucks to 1 goal for 58 minutes, you'd have to think they go back to him for the next game.
Oilers coach is not Woodcroft anymore so I doubt that Skinner will get another start unless Pickard is hurt.
@@taskdon769 If the Oilers want to lose the series then they should go ahead and switch back to Skinner! Pickard will most likely not give up some of the terrible goals that Skinner has given up. Canucks will have to do more against Pickard, as they won't get the easy goals anymore.
They'll start Pickard until he has a bad game now.
The thing is though, Skinner didn't get any help last game. This game the team played well in front of Pickard. But he also made saves when he had to.....If the defense plays well, both goalies have a chance to do well. Our defense is what is not consistent, they're capable, but they make bad decisions occasionally. If they stay back and do their job, we have a very good chance at winning. The offense will take care of itself.
@@user-bi6yf4hv9g You have to stop coming up with excuses for Skinner. He's a big goalie that doesn't move well because he uses improper technique in his movements, and his goalie IQ is very low(not good enough on reads and he gets caught uses the wrong technique to make a save). Skinner is age 25, so he's still on the younger side. I personally feel(I follow all goalies) he was brought up to the Oilers too soon years ago. Either some more cooking in AHL or light backup role behind a #1 goalie, but the Oilers have been pissing on goaltending for a long time ruining McDavid's playoff chances of only winning 2 rounds at most.
Bouchard: here hold my beer I’ll finish this right now.
Shannon and Yvonne, Congrats on the 316k subscribers! Best UA-camr ever.
Lol sorry Shannon, that must've been one helluva roller coaster of emotions as a Canuck fan
I agree the canucks this game shouldn’t even have been close. Silovs is keeping them in it
The best of 3 to close it out should be lit
That winning goal was one of the few times the Oilers had someone in front of Silovs. I was talking to my TV about it. There were a few rebounds where Silovs didn't control the puck well and there were no Edmonton players to be found. I get that their PP is focused on cross ice one-timers or tap-ins, but when you're playing a goalie on top of his game, you need to change it up a bit.
As good as Silovs has been, I think a lot of the shots he faced have been right at him, no screen, and no one to collect rebounds.
Miller has some serious anger problems
Silovs stood on his head. Must be nice to have 100% confidence in your goalie.
I'm hoping for a Florida/Vancouver final solely for the fact I want a franchise to win for the first time. Kind of a bummer of a day
As someone who wants a first time champion in both leagues (NBA, NHL) yesterday was hot garbage lol
Six minutes of powerplay time in the first only to generate 4 shots on net is simply going to kill us, and I think that's the primary reason we lost. Hoping to see a change up on our zone entry on the PP because Edmonton seems to have how we currently like to set up on lock. Splitting the games in Edmonton really saving our skin going later in to the series!
At least with the Canucks now 3rd period leads are never safe.
Love your vids been watching you since 10k subs !!
Hopefully a canadian team finally raises the cup.
I love to see the banter increase more and more as the series continues :P
What an incredible game to watch live though, probably my favourite game of any series this playoffs so far
My thoughts... Deserved win! Draisaitl with 2 points again, 20 points in9 games - awesome! He is the key player for the Oilers, his line scores in 5 on 5...
Overachievers vs underachievers what a series
Oilers fans partying while Canucks fans invading twitter. Likes will go up more once Oilers fans hangover wears off. Wednesday morning will be rough.
and no bad refs to blame too
@@tysproule9614 oh they will, the story already is the play the Oilers scored their 3rd on should've been whistled down because Draisaitl played the puck with a high stick.
@@LARGO125 They aired another angle that clearly showed it wasn't a high stick. Anybody holding onto that sliver of desperation is just factually wrong.
Man the Canucks are a resilient bunch Shan. Things are realllly lookin up for that group, even if they lose this matchup.
Silovs giving me flashbacks of Hellebuyck stealing the series against the Oil years ago
You’re a man of character. Reason why this is my favorite hockey channel
I mean… it looks like the Canucks didn’t really deserve to win this game tbh. They might’ve lost in OT anyways.
Or not
Im thinking oilers winning next game but Silovs is incredible, hopefully he can pull the next game win.
Hopefully oilers can break him 😂
@@maguirebentz797 if he dies, he dies
Hopefully Oilers fans shutup next game
@@JB-qu8pv coming from a Canucks fan that’s crazzzyyy
@@maguirebentz797 post not good goalie but 1 goal against shilovos isnt good either mr drai
That poke-check!
Great series going on.
Can we take a moment to discuss how annoying that god awful Scotiabank commercial is? Seriously, is there not more than 2 fkn commercials available to play during each break?
I hate that freakin Boston Pizza commercial. I will NEVER root for Toronto, Calgary, or Edmonton. "Team up for the Cup" pffftt. I'd rather see a deep South US team than any of the aforementioned cesspools.
@@mrvh1953Yup, that one is also terrible.
The same could be said about Vancouver bud.
@@marcoohello the rule change because oil were tankers isn’t something to cheer about. It’s back to square one for the previous odds fave from Toronto (TSN/Sprtsnet)
@@marcoohello Yup, for you. Not for me.
Silovs will be a name some teams will sure be interested in. He’s been great once again.
He'll be locked up long term.
@@the6ig6adwolfhe’s not gonna be demkos backup for years
@missstar219 Demko is under contract for 2 more years, and at that point, he's a 30-year-old UfA. Silovs on the other hand will only be 25 and ready for his big contract so why would the Canucks move the younger goalie entering his prime over the older injury prone goalie? Signing Demko at 30 to another 5-6 year deal makes little sense for a multitude of reasons. Silovs if he plays well over the next 2 seasons becomes the Canucks #1 goalie.
Perhaps this opens the door to a Demko trade. Like if the Canucks can snag one of the big Colorado names for him that would be huge for the Canucks. Team needs more firepower up front.
@@rubberduckie5518that’s not happening
That last minute GWG was crushing. I thought for sure the Nucks we're taking it to OT. Relatively boring game until those last few.
We are all aware of the comprehensive jersey collection, but what about hats? It seems like it could be 1 or 2 for every team or as many as 10 - 12 for every team.
Oilers were great today and beat the Canucks in almost every aspect of the game...however, the reason Canucks tied it was partly because Oilers were brutal in the face-off's in the 3rd period, last 5 minutes they lost 3 draws in a row! one of them led to the Canucks 2nd goal. Clean that up and we win convincingly!
They tied it, because Desharnais didn't take his man in front of the net and left Nurse to try to clear out two Canucks. Can't do that. Go Oilers.
The oilers could use a few more “how did that happen” wins lol
No but rather we'd like back our.. "what kind of goaltending was that?" Losses. And insert a better goaltender like Picard. And the series could have been a sweep.
My Mom's not a deep hockey fan, but even she could see that the first period power plays we're awful.
That oilers jersey is amazing
If the Canucks lost 2-1 I wouldn’t have been hurt, but the fact that they managed to get the late equalizer only to blow it really stings.
Hoping to see if they can bounce back at home, and/or if Demko can return since they said the earliest would be game 5 (though considering it’s guaranteed to go 6 they might not rush him). Silovs has been great but I feel like the team plays their best in front of Demko so that could be huge.
Oilers fan.
I think taking him out for Demko is a bad idea, the guys been phenomenal.
@@RickL_was_here Demko is healthy to play, you put him in net! Demko has a playoff level of goaltending that few goalies can match. Demko is a top 5 goalie, so it would be a no brainer who should be in net.
Ride the hot hand
I wouldn't put Demko in this series, unless Silovs starts to falter. IF, and I say IF, Vancouver gets blown out in Game 5 and there series on the line in Game 6, then maybe put in Demko if he ready. It been Silovs that has got them this far, not Demko.
@@dmonsef But he hasn't played in 3 weeks, Silov's is what got them here. I don't put Demko in till Game 6 if they down in the Series. And even then, unless Silovs has a bad game I'd play Silov this whole series.
Bouchard stole the Canuck's mojo. They've been good at eking out wins but this time Bouchard pulled a rabbit out of a hat.
Heartbreaking:( sick game tho! And that Silovs play where he ran out to play the puck was so fucking awesome!
I wonder when/if demko is heathy who you run? No bad options that’s for sure
I think you have to run with Silov's until he has a bad game.
I've given up on the chargers , the last games in SD i left Gates jersey in front of seats on a bar. Almost threw Rivers jersey away, hung it on the coat racks in the parking lot crews office😁
What was the point of that 3rd period effort just to give up with 40 seconds left? Canucks other than Silovs should be embarrassed with that game.
I thought once they tied it, they continue to try to pressure the Oilers while they rattled, but they played like they were just trying to run the clock out to get to overtime.
Canucks once again showing their capable of playing but not doing so for more than ~15 minutes of a game. If they play even 20, 25 minutes like they did in the 3rd they win this game.
Not even worth mentioning the anemic powerplay returning to form. That double minor is what ultimately decided this game, there's no reason they shouldn't have scored at least 1 on that
Haha it's funny cause you could say the same for the Oilers. Neither played 60 minutes. But Edmonton maybe played 35 minutes while the Canucks 25-30 ish.
A good team will always get at least 1 or apply tons of pressure. The Canucks kind of almost lost momentum their powerplay was so bad.
@@andrewcotton421 nucks definitely didn’t play anywhere close to 25 minutes tonight lol
I don’t know how a series could have any more drama than this one. Unbelievable momentum swings, controversies, goalie changes, missed calls, suspensions, goats/heroes, the media and social media absolutely lit up. Everyone from the players down to Joe Schmo wants this series bad.
She-La by 54.40 was playing in my head every time Silovs did something amazing
It's unbelievable how lucky the Canucks have been this series.
I hope they've run out of rabbit feet
LOL and the oilers were not lucky to win game 2 in OT with a shot that was directed in by a Canucks player? lol
I wanna see a bloopers video. Sneezing and all haha
Big W
so will it be demko/silovs next season?
That jersey is dope, what is it?
Go Oilers Go. What a game
Whoever wrote the script for this game did an incredible job. Possibly the most engaging game of the entire year.
I was shocked when Vancouver allowed that late winning goal. Especially right after tieing the game up. Even if Vancouver was going to lose in the end, you simply have to at least get it to OT there... But I guess it saved the viewers from having to watch another intermission.
I mute those too. And, go do something else.
Demko potentially packaged up this summer?
You never know hey. Would alleviate some cap space and the return could easily be a top 6 forward. Canucks look close to being a real contender even without Demko.
Finally, we have a playoff series that's 2-2 😁
Well that’s a kick in the teeth
The lightning excitement of a last minute winner for the Oilers fans - they won't forget that!!
hopefully there were no riots in Vancouver after the game.
I didn’t think Oilers would beat them in the physical game. But I think the physical game is starting to take an effect. Also Kane has been very disciplined as well this series and that’s rare.
Perry is keeping Kane from going ballistic - a good thing. He's being physical without too much drama.
Silovs has become the guy to beat, he stole game 3 and nearly game 4.
Best reffed game and most disciplined game of the series.
6 games minimum series between two Canadian teams in the Stanley cup playoffs
Sportsnet and TSN are ecstatic right now
Just out of curiosity: Which five Canucks do you think are "passengers" as per Tocchet's call out post-game?
Petterson, Cole, Mikheyev, Lafferty, possibly pius Suter
As a rangers fan this man is the best person on hockey by far after every game cant wait to hear his assignment of the game
Non game related question but would you and others in this community recommend buying authentic addicks hockey sweaters or actually trust fanatics to put out a higher quality product than what has been seen with baseball and t shirts from them?
Thanks
IMO fanatics is terrible. Try to get an authentic one if you can. You won't regret it.
@@monicaarisman4293 will do and thanks 🙏
Canucks looked pedestrian just like Florida tonight. Both squads will bounce back.
I remember being disappointed when Chicago took Boqvist over Bouchard (exactly what Chicago needed; a D-man w/ size, skill, RH shot, etc.)
In light of Boqvist’ frequent injuries and being dealt quickly to sign an older RH D-man to a ridiculous deal, seems my reservation at the time was well-founded. Bouchard has been a huge puzzle piece, and won’t be the reason EDM doesn’t advance if VNC does.
All those German names like Boeser or Oettinger, I always pronounce in German. Also: Pay Šilovs all of the $$$. Give him a big contract, make him the number 1 backup to Demko.
I live in a rural farming area in Saskatchewan that was heavily settled by Germans (including my ancestors). I also pronounce their names the German way even though my German is not very good.
@@oilersridersbluejays Perhaps it's not a good or bad issue, but rather how heavy the accent is.
Who even had the Canucks making this series competitive a lot of experts have Edmonton winning this series easily some had the Oilers in 4-5 or 6. Vancouver is for sure giving the Oilers a scare and if the Canucks play to a full 60 minute game they pull this out in 6 or 7.
I did and still feel they can win this series. Oilers have a lot of flaws, but 21 shots is not enough to expose them.
I picked Oilers in 6, but I knew from the get go it would be 6 or 7 games and it’s still anyone’s series.
One might have to wonder if that late goal by Bouchard deflated the Canucks’ morale a bit though. Weird things like that can change a series.
Petterson man that guy needs to get it together
This going 7 isn’t it?
6 for sure.
@@oilersridersbluejays That aged well
This is the competitive series I've waited for in the west, it's really got a bit of everything and you can't guess how it's going to turn out. Though it has cost my Canuck loving lady her fingernails. 😋
Did I hear "street hockey" ?!
Twitter/X has been a psychward during this whole series
What’s happened to Pettersson??
Silovs is the only reason the Canucks were in this game. The least they could do for him is block that shot or just move out of the way.
Gut wrenching
Well thats a toughie, tying it up so late, thought for sure this would see OT.. The thrill so late to tie just to drop it seconds later sucks. All you can do is suck it up and move on. I think there is nothing more exciting and on the reverse side more heartbreaking than the NHL playoffs.. its the doublest of double edge swords of any sport. Its not always easy to remember that the thrill of winning being so thrilling is exactly why the down of the losing is so depressing which turns to anger usually.. Like all the Ranger talk show is mostly anger, but its really dealing with the heartbreak of blowing game 4 with the ONLY successful power play by Carolina and then blowing the 3rd period lead in a big ugly way their last game.. Every game is different, teams do come back better than fans recover..
If only Silovs saves the team, then the team deserves to lose. I've been a Canucks fan for over 30 years. Get your shit together when the people come together! Magic, Mates!
😂 "Send me your jersey and I'll pretend to burn it."
3:41 lmfao
lol that one hurt huh guy?
Canucks have to get to the net, Oilers kept the pressure though and deserved it. Go Canucks Go!
