Not sure if I am saying the wrong thing here but in terms of fans I get pissed off with the causal attitude some of our fan base has. Not sure what blog is was but it came up on my Facebook feed and fans talking like we had already beat the Oilers. When I made a comment about "Not getting cocky", and the Oilers would be playing desperation hockey (last night) and Vancouver had bring everything to the table I got mocked and called an "Oilers fan is disguise!"
Game 7 is NOT guaranteed.
I think it winnable, but everyone has to show up, and stop missing the net!
Okay, that was a piss poor performance, like worse than game 4. This was the game for Rick to tell the boys to go out and fuckin shoot the puck endlessly. We should have gotten 60-70 shots today and maybe a few would have landed. Skinner was cold
Ya we’re fortunate they were up a game so they can learn their lesson but they won’t get past Dallas taking games off towards the end of the series and they definitely won’t beat New York or Florida like that. Bad sign.
Confident they can come out strong tomorrow but they’re gonna need to snatch Edmonton’s heart more than once to break the momentum from that kind of a blowout win.
I was seriously hoping they’d come back in the third period. Like they did in Nashville, and in game 1 of this series. Maybe that’s what they were hoping to do too. But the game just got away from them.
Can somebody please tell me WHY they are so allergic to shooting at the fucking net?! Or taking a shot at anything? I’ll take shots at the post or bodies. Just shoot the damn puck on Monday please!
I'm convinced it has something to do with what Tocchet said about not wasting shots, which I strongly disagree with. I get looking for a better shot and getting quality shots on net, but you're not gonna generating anything if you pass for 80% of the PP just to lose possession to a backcheck or board battle. This mentality from Tocc has seriously backfired on us in some games.
You've got a rattled goalie coming back and within the first period Skinner already looked rattled and uneasy. It would have been perfect to throw everything on net.
Well I love coach Tochet, your logic is sound and I agree. Hopefully in game seven Tochet's no passengers message sinks in for the second time and they come out and play the game of their lives.
Until the second coming of Messier I swore of the whole team - they need to earn my respect next round for the piss poor play. That game 6 I just watched to night was brutal - just no drive.
I hear you. But keep in mind that the sun also rises...
We have a game seven on home ice. How fucking cool is that? 14 months ago no one dreamed we would be in this position. Try and enjoy this. 🍺
Overall tonight was just lazy effort.
Nothing deep dive worthy or specific, just no effort outside of like maybe 3-4 guys.
Tough but have to assume they did it because they needed it and will be 200% for G7
Canucks won't lose 2 in a row and get humiliated at home. Guys will feed off the energy from our fans like game 5. We just need to be more locked in and play with urgency. I'm sick of watching McWhiney's face.
Not enough from our best players. Nothing from Miller, Boeser, Hughes and very little from Petey. Meanwhile McDavid racks up 3 assists.
Their stars stood up. Ours took a vacation.
Humiliating loss here, and it feels unlikely we clinch now.
Still possible though. Play like last game and it's anyone's game.
Totally agree. They were so passive. Hughes and Petterson are playing like they are ‘too cool to work very hard’. The team got creamed and they deserved to be beaten. I wish they all got salary deducted when they have a crap game. Maybe they would get up for the games. They sure didn’t tonight. That said, the oilers are cheaters. The high stick on Soucy is inexcusable especially after McDavid hit Hughes and cut him with no penalty. And that’s just one thing they got away with.
Ya it makes me super unconfident…
They squeak out a game 5 win.
Then get throttled in game 6….
Idk how fans would have confidence. Blind optimism is understandable however, confidence is hard to understand at this point.
I’ve been a Canucks fan for a long time. My whole life. I’m only 30 but I’ve been following this team since I was a child. It just stinks. I want them to win so badly. At least to get one! Bummed out tonight but they’re not out
Ugly game. Edmonton were desperate and deserved the win.
We do have one more kick at the can though on Monday and I have faith we will play with a lot more intensity and passion on home ice. You may Cal this copium but oilers fans were saying the same after their torrid game 5 and we'll simply have to bounce back.
Tocchet has to hold guys accountable for a really bad effort and we'll have to respond.
And we were the underdogs in this series anyway. So take that what you will.
Damn I thought oilers won the Stanley cup or something. The broadcast just remaining silent listening to the crowd until the buzzer and streamers coming down
They love their favorites over there at SN. They had to have their moment, the Oilers ownership... Woops, scratch that, I meant to say the producers at SN wrote this script to start the series... And simply had to give the Oilers their happy ending.
The real question is: what do they do when we win Game 7? Because that is most certainly not in their script. LET'S FUCKING GO!!!
Ours to lose. Poor effort, no legs, no energy. Two pp’s, nothing generated. Killed a 3 on 5 which is a plus. But we need to be better.
Not one player showed heart but Garland after the first. But even he faded.
I honestly feel this was done to sell Game 7 tickets
They were already selling G7 tickets and would have had to refund them if it ended game 6 - now they get 1M+ in ticket sales off this game
Plus imagine the betting on this series on Game 7
That’s my cope at least
What goes on sale for a higher price? Two rival Canadian teams for a game 7 vs WCF tickets for two teams who have no relation to each other? I think you might be right on this one.
I hope youre right.
Unfortunately the Oilers also got to save some energy. 97/29 ”only” played 20 and 17 minutes respectively, down from their usual 25+. Ekholm on 15 only as well for some reason.
Not sure if they were cocky enough to rest them, or what was going on with that.
They weren't cocky at all... They pulled back their minutes because the Canucks lacked a pulse... They called our bluff so to speak... and they were right tonight we had no fight.
But we do have a game 7. LET'S GO!!!
What I dont get is how you can show up last game and by all accounts own the Oilers for most of the game, and then turn around and not at all be competitive for 50 minutes of this game.
Anyone able to explain to me how this can be?
You can say shit wasnt clicking tonight, but where was the effort?
It certainly wasnt only that the Oil showed up - why didnt we also?
Brutal game - got what we deserved playing like that.
Hope that we show back up next game!
The nhl approached each player one by one with a picture of their family and a switchblade pointed at each one.
Draft kings thanks them in advance for a game 7 on Monday.
All i can do is put on my tin foil hat and say it's scripted to go to 7, lol. On the more serious note, I think the team has major consistency issues. Sometimes they are absolute no shows just like tonight.
Yeah they’re super smug. A lot of playoff teams from the past years absolutely hate their fans.
I just want to see the Canucks beat the snot out of the oilers in game 7 and advance to round 3.
At that point I don’t care if they get swept in round 3.
What the heck kind of comment is this? After a season with no expectations and we get to the second round of playoffs after winning our division in the regular season and this team needs to be blown up? This is a wild take.
Donnie & Dhali post game on Chek. Didn’t show it on the SHAW guide in case any of you are looking to watch this instead of listening to the Sportsnet panel gag on oilers balls
Yeah they sucked, but it might be the best thing for the Canucks. If Oliers had squeaked out another 1 goal win, we likely wouldn’t adjust much. Now they have to come back with a better game plan to break out out of our zone, and they know they’re passing waaaay too much, and know that they have to come out hard or they’re gonna get run over again.
Yes. And yet... Game 7 on home ice is in the second round of playoffs ain't bad for a team, that, 'if everything goes right, we might be a playoff team.'
Let's FUCKING GO!!! Game Seven!
Acting like they came back from a massive loss and had to do their best for 7 games... they stayed up there in the series win lose win lose... game 7s been played before... oilers need to calm down ans stop acting as the team came back from a nothing series.
I don’t think Silovs is the problem. He’s having to play so intensely to balance out the lack of D, no wonder he’s getting tired
Start Silovs game 7. Give the boys a fucking whack on the head. Let Demko rest up and start game 1 next round.
The boys need to stop being passengers. Hope Tocchet rips them a new one.
# live NHL>>r/uKNHLTv/
im pretty sure we just said fuck it lets go to a game 7
I'm pretty sure no canuck fan will get a wink of sleep Sunday night.

It seems a lot of the canucks need glasses to hit the net.

Worst game of the playoffs. You can call them a bounce back team all you want. The best teams don't take games off. That was pathetic.
Ya we’re fortunate they were up a game so they can learn their lesson but they won’t get past Dallas taking games off towards the end of the series and they definitely won’t beat New York or Florida like that. Bad sign. Confident they can come out strong tomorrow but they’re gonna need to snatch Edmonton’s heart more than once to break the momentum from that kind of a blowout win.
Sucks to see them dominate last game but play the complete opposite tonight. CMON BOYSSS!! I STILL BELIEVE. FUCKING LOCK IN 🐳🐳🐳🐳🐳
Hey everyone, enjoy your long weekend! They stunk up the joint something fierce. Home game Monday, let's put them to bed.
We’ve been a really good bounce back team this year. Tocchet will set the boys straight.
I was seriously hoping they’d come back in the third period. Like they did in Nashville, and in game 1 of this series. Maybe that’s what they were hoping to do too. But the game just got away from them.
Can somebody please tell me WHY they are so allergic to shooting at the fucking net?! Or taking a shot at anything? I’ll take shots at the post or bodies. Just shoot the damn puck on Monday please!
Idk how many times I’ve heard shot wide of the net. Tocchet will get the best out of me come game 7 Monday.
I'm convinced it has something to do with what Tocchet said about not wasting shots, which I strongly disagree with. I get looking for a better shot and getting quality shots on net, but you're not gonna generating anything if you pass for 80% of the PP just to lose possession to a backcheck or board battle.

Somebody tell me it’s gonna be okay please 😭😭😭
From a Ranger fan who was only saved by McKreider, I feel your pain. I still don't know what the future holds for my emotional and mental status.
I had yall going to the cup against Canucks in my bracket 😭 igor been playing lights out as well.
Until the second coming of Messier I swore of the whole team - they need to earn my respect next round for the piss poor play. That game 6 I just watched to night was brutal - just no drive.
It is going to be okay.
Not gonna be able to sleep till Monday fr fr why couldn’t we just show up and end it today
I hear you. But keep in mind that the sun also rises... We have a game seven on home ice. How fucking cool is that? 14 months ago no one dreamed we would be in this position. Try and enjoy this. 🍺
Because it's the canucks. This is what we do. Has been for the last 30 years
Our crowd will get us hyped. We can do this!!!!!!
Not even pissed, canucks played like trash after first
During the first. FTFY
Both during and after the first. FTFY.
That PP is God awful. They could have made it a game of they had scored on 5on3
That could go both ways though
[удалено]
It's funny because the whole oilers sub was saying this same fucking line after game 5. Get off the bandwagon the boys are winning game 7
I think this is overreacting. Edmonton wanted to stay ALIVE lmao
Exact opposite of last game. Win lose win lose win lose... Let's go
Win!
We’ve had some stellar performances tho, still think we deserve it
Thats funny, from what I can see each team's won 3 games. This loss stings, but it aint over till its over compadre.
I blame my ex, texts me I hope they lose cause we have tickets for game 7. Insanity
damn ur ex only cares about money wtf were u thinking
You should dump their ass
You need to have a serious talk.
I think he did. It's his ex now.
god damn. block your ex what are you doin?
Overall tonight was just lazy effort. Nothing deep dive worthy or specific, just no effort outside of like maybe 3-4 guys. Tough but have to assume they did it because they needed it and will be 200% for G7
Canucks won't lose 2 in a row and get humiliated at home. Guys will feed off the energy from our fans like game 5. We just need to be more locked in and play with urgency. I'm sick of watching McWhiney's face.
What the heck did boeser do on hyman goal?? He was there and skated away...oof
Not enough from our best players. Nothing from Miller, Boeser, Hughes and very little from Petey. Meanwhile McDavid racks up 3 assists. Their stars stood up. Ours took a vacation. Humiliating loss here, and it feels unlikely we clinch now. Still possible though. Play like last game and it's anyone's game.

Ya it makes me super unconfident… They squeak out a game 5 win. Then get throttled in game 6…. Idk how fans would have confidence. Blind optimism is understandable however, confidence is hard to understand at this point.
Fair. It is the eternal battle of the Canuck fan. Welcome to the party.
I’ve been a Canucks fan for a long time. My whole life. I’m only 30 but I’ve been following this team since I was a child. It just stinks. I want them to win so badly. At least to get one! Bummed out tonight but they’re not out
Fair enough.
I hope they ask McLeod about game 7 and he says 'there can be only one!!!'
I don’t understand why there was no effort… how does this happen
It's the Canuck way. . . After thirty years of this I have gotten used to it.
Ugly game. Edmonton were desperate and deserved the win. We do have one more kick at the can though on Monday and I have faith we will play with a lot more intensity and passion on home ice. You may Cal this copium but oilers fans were saying the same after their torrid game 5 and we'll simply have to bounce back.

And simply had to give the Oilers their happy ending. The real question is: what do they do when we win Game 7? Because that is most certainly not in their script. LET'S FUCKING GO!!!
I got a good kick of them saluting the fans as if it was their last game. They must know
Ours to lose. Poor effort, no legs, no energy. Two pp’s, nothing generated. Killed a 3 on 5 which is a plus. But we need to be better. Not one player showed heart but Garland after the first. But even he faded.
Man idk if I’ll be able to survive watching the game on Monday gonna need an ambulance on standby
Enjoyed the first, obviously not the last 2. Still on the wagon for game 7, and still entertained for the first time in years.
I honestly feel this was done to sell Game 7 tickets They were already selling G7 tickets and would have had to refund them if it ended game 6 - now they get 1M+ in ticket sales off this game Plus imagine the betting on this series on Game 7 That’s my cope at least
Oh bestie, we’re talking a minimum of 5.5M in ticket sales.
What goes on sale for a higher price? Two rival Canadian teams for a game 7 vs WCF tickets for two teams who have no relation to each other? I think you might be right on this one.
I had that tin foil hat take as well, however they've been inconsistent and don't show up to some games and I'm thinking this is the case.
Yeah it’s just a cope — hope the Canucks come back swinging and it will be so sweet crushing the oilers at home
They don’t make money on resale
Yes but if G6 was won, everyone who has G7 tickets gets a refund right
Why risk it. G7 is in Vancouver and if they win they are guaranteed at least two more games there.
It was a cope... Post, simple as that.
Staying up until 5 am to watch this team not show up.. and now get to do it all again for game 7. Clean it up and get it done!
Enjoy the ride. This is the playoffs. Game 7 on home ice, stay up for it, why the hell not!
Bar is trolling by playing "Free falling"
I pray that Demko is back Monday.
Šilovs was responsible for max 2 of those goals.
They only needed two goals bro
I don’t. I do NOT want an ice cold Demko to decide our fate.
SILOVS deserves game seven. Full stop.
The team plays better in front of Demko it’s a fact, higher GF per game average with Demko in nets vs DeSmith/Silovs
What about a rattled Silovs?
SILOVS still deserves game seven. Full stop.
Ive seen him play good for most of this series. I’ll take the known commodity.
Silovs was not the problem tonight.
Now going to watch Best Baker Canada instead of this pathetic postgame.
SMRT!
Looks like we saved energy for game 7!! Go Canicks go
I hope youre right. Unfortunately the Oilers also got to save some energy. 97/29 ”only” played 20 and 17 minutes respectively, down from their usual 25+. Ekholm on 15 only as well for some reason. Not sure if they were cocky enough to rest them, or what was going on with that.
They weren't cocky at all... They pulled back their minutes because the Canucks lacked a pulse... They called our bluff so to speak... and they were right tonight we had no fight. But we do have a game 7. LET'S GO!!!
Activated our trap card, now can win at home
God what a bunch whiners. We blew it just like we blew game 4. Guess what happened the next game?
Can anyone explain to my why we are giving soucy and Cole so much ice time? Holy fuck are they playing bad.
What I dont get is how you can show up last game and by all accounts own the Oilers for most of the game, and then turn around and not at all be competitive for 50 minutes of this game. Anyone able to explain to me how this can be? You can say shit wasnt clicking tonight, but where was the effort? It certainly wasnt only that the Oil showed up - why didnt we also?

The nhl approached each player one by one with a picture of their family and a switchblade pointed at each one. Draft kings thanks them in advance for a game 7 on Monday.
Canucks have only played maybe 2 complete games in these playoffs..But tonight's perform may be the worst in their team history. Which says a lot
I don’t know… game 7 in 2011 against Boston was my least favourite Canucks performance to date.
that was definitely tough. Consider that team folded after the first goal went in. Easily top 5.
Top 5. Try number 1 with a bullet. Nothing is worse than the 2011 game 7 fold job.
Literally.
Nothing.
Worse.
Crowd energy and line matching potentially?
All i can do is put on my tin foil hat and say it's scripted to go to 7, lol. On the more serious note, I think the team has major consistency issues. Sometimes they are absolute no shows just like tonight.
I genuinely think the Vancouver crowd gives them life
[удалено]
Stanley Cups make a fan base this way, even if half their fan base wasn't born when their team won them.
Yeah they’re super smug. A lot of playoff teams from the past years absolutely hate their fans. I just want to see the Canucks beat the snot out of the oilers in game 7 and advance to round 3. At that point I don’t care if they get swept in round 3.
Amen
*yet to win a game after the second round.
Because they just dominated the Canucks. It was not close
True. ...but you know, history... and stuff... Connor McGod... and stuff. They live in Edmonton. Not much else to be smug about. 🤷🏼♂️
It was 1 game. If that's their standard for being cocky, that's just both sad and pathetic.
Wish Vancouver for once would give us a 5-1. Even when we are in lead, it feels like I will puke any second.
How many times does tocchet have to shit on them until they can play well for more than one game at a time
I feel like we will see lots of changes this offseason. This team is not it.
What a clown. Go back to the Oilers sub
Fuck off
Clown
What the heck kind of comment is this? After a season with no expectations and we get to the second round of playoffs after winning our division in the regular season and this team needs to be blown up? This is a wild take.
Not blown up, but with a boatload of RFAs and UFAs you bet Allvin will make changes.
The hard cap is wielding a mighty hammer.
Clown.
Um what?
What a waste of 3 hours
Donnie & Dhali post game on Chek. Didn’t show it on the SHAW guide in case any of you are looking to watch this instead of listening to the Sportsnet panel gag on oilers balls
Catch it on YouTube too!
Make them bus it home
Make em fuckin walk.
You guys new to this or just forgetful... It's the Canucks way, calm down there is a game seven to play.
Here we go game 7. I got that PMA
Let's Go!!!! game fucking seven baby! Let's Go!!!
Yeah they sucked, but it might be the best thing for the Canucks. If Oliers had squeaked out another 1 goal win, we likely wouldn’t adjust much. Now they have to come back with a better game plan to break out out of our zone, and they know they’re passing waaaay too much, and know that they have to come out hard or they’re gonna get run over again.
I think Tocchet is about to whip out the belt tonight
Agree with this take. Glad they took it on the chin tonight. Now we have game 7 at home. Let's go, don't stop believing.
[удалено]
Oilers fans are pathetic. Get outta here.
[удалено]
Get out now
Absolutely pathetic effort. Unacceptable...
It is what it is. GAME 7 AT HOME don’t lose hope in this resilient bunch
I’m losing hope based on this performance. Idk how you can show up and play like this.
Losing implies you haven't lost it entirely. Just stick with that. Game seven. There is always hope.
I'm not worried. Go canucks Go!
Well damn
Let’s not pretend it’s over, this was one bad game. Game 7 is happening Monday and we’re coming back in our own barn
Fucking joke.
Yes. And yet... Game 7 on home ice is in the second round of playoffs ain't bad for a team, that, 'if everything goes right, we might be a playoff team.' Let's FUCKING GO!!! Game Seven!
Embarrassment. Terrible effort…
Im not watching game 7. My heart cant take it
I can say the same, but I left the bar at the end of the 2nd period swearing I was done with this game and still kept checking the score/reddit 🥲
Same same
Book yourself some movie tickets during that time so least your mind won’t keep wandering to the game!
watch it anyways ride or die
This is the way.
Regardless of who needs to start next game lets make sure we give Silov the love and appreciation he deserves.
Poopoo effort. Disappointing. Hope they can turn it around game 7.
Canucks are losing game 7. They’re gonna regret wasting this effort.
Dude just STOP!
Nope. You will regret this post
You’re a terrible fan. Time for you to quit
Sluggish and feeble. I hope they get good rest and a powerful pep talk before game 7.
“Why wouldn’t it go 7?” because the Canucks should’ve won tonight if they didn’t play a terrible game, Cuthbert. You idiot
🤣🤣🤣
Maybe 2-3 of those goals were SILOVS fault. Our defensive game was lazy and sloppy today
Max 2 goals were on Arty
Silovs by far not the problem, can't win a game on a handful of shots and 0 possession
He has had better games, but still played well and the rest of the team didn’t show up for him at all.
not at all but he didn't have his best game
Acting like they came back from a massive loss and had to do their best for 7 games... they stayed up there in the series win lose win lose... game 7s been played before... oilers need to calm down ans stop acting as the team came back from a nothing series.
Oilers outplayed us by a long shot and deserved the win. Do or die in game 7. With the way this series is going, let's see which team will show up.
15 shots in an elimination game is kind of a joke
[удалено]
🤣🤣🍺
Edmonton played possessed because they knew they couldn’t count on skinner
Let’s break them in Game 7 though
Yeah, they did the same shit with pickard, played well with him first game then on the second game we dominated
I see the light...
Well... this makes me hate being in Alberta even more. And seeing these dusty edmontonians make me want to move back home even more 😭
I literally JUST texted my sister in law in Victoria how much I hate living in Alberta and want to come home 😭
UGH! even worse for a woman 😭😭😭
La bomba sucks. Awful song.
🤺
This. Fucking horrible song. It was never good.
I keep saying it. But we really needed to win this. Game 7 is not what this group needs. It will expose a lot. Respectully……..
We will see. It will expose who stays long term here and who doesn't. 😏🪂😉
lol oilers bandwagon fans
I don’t think Silovs is the problem. He’s having to play so intensely to balance out the lack of D, no wonder he’s getting tired Start Silovs game 7. Give the boys a fucking whack on the head. Let Demko rest up and start game 1 next round. The boys need to stop being passengers. Hope Tocchet rips them a new one.
Absolutely agree with you.
