Hopefully Cole can get things sorted out, the Oilers don’t need help scoring.

I do not like when a team has the lead in the third period and then changes their game to sitting back and absorbing the attack.  Just keep doing what got you the lead.

Ya, it almost always ends up in a scramble just to keep the puck out of the net, but it must be tough to calm down a strong playoff team that only has minutes left to tie up the game.  I can barely handle the stress just watching it.

The pub owners demand it!  The Oilers and Canucks owe it to the Canadian public.

Quite the aftermath from last night's game. McDavid is allowed to whack Hughes with his stick hard enough to draw blood but Soucy gets a suspension and Zadorov gets fined. Not saying Soucy didn't deserve the suspension but there have been some bad and inconsistent calls. 

When Zadorov stuffed Kane into the Edmonton bench I almost spit out beer... what I also found odd was how few oilers came to back McDavid up after he got crosschecked and was on the ground with 3 canucks standing over him. That's the captain ffs, Soucy should have had multiple oiler fists in his fave before McDavid hit the ground. Not a good look. 

This series is really getting ugly and I'm not sure if Edmonton is tough enough physically to win the kind of dirty series this is shaping out to be.  Skinner is a pretty weak goalie too. Canucks in 5 or 6

/\This. Looked like the Canucks strategy to kick up up the physicality from the previous games is working.

Except for Zadorov holding down Zane, that kind of counter productive idiocy would cost us the series.

Skate under the puck trick was fucking rad eh 😄. Hope there's more tricks in the hat.

I'm going to bet on...7.

I revise my prediction to nucks in 6. Edmonton is a 1 line team.  And that 1 line is getting tired and beat up. Mcdavid is an amazing player but a shitty leader.  They would be wise to strip his c.

Amazing first period of hockey. Kane should have had 5min for sure.

Edmonton found a better goalie. This could be a problem.

Apparently I don’t know what I’m talking about.  Now that they’ve split up mcd and drysaddle they have 2 dangerous lines. And goalie was decent although I don’t think we really tested him.  Tocket is right about some guys needing to step up.
