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.

Vancouver didnt properly adjust to Edmontons different style of play again really evident in the last 2 games of this series.

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.

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.

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.

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.

This was a fun series to watch

Great series, props to both teams and no losers here. The fans got a special treat watching! One can only hope this continues!

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.

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.

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.

@@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.

@@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.

The Bouchard goal was credited to Hyman. It went off Hyman before going in the net.

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 is amazing. Him with a healthy Demko will be a tough duo . Hope to see canucks move further along next season

Oilers fan here! Great oiler Canuck round! Oilers in seven games against Dallas!

Garland and Silovs were there for the whole game, everyone else was sleeping

GD algo hows this channel not blown up

Im not a Canuck fan but you guys should be very proud of yr team. Yr goalie was outstanding.

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!

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.

Next vid I need a breakdown of how Florida pp vs New York pk is going to be the difference in the series. I remember you dos a breakdown of rags box + pressure system that leaves the middle open

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...

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.

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.

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.

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

I know it's a bit late but I'd love to see your breakdown of Game 6 between Dallas and Colorado

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.

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 can't with the Cody ceci reference 😂

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

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.

Rangers vs Canucks Stanley cup rematch would've been pretty cool. The game has changed dramatically in the last 30 years.

Silovs did a fantastic job being thrown into the playoffs like he was. Has the potential to be a star for sure.

that bit of shade thrown at cici lmao

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.

It’s just sad how they played 😢

If I was Silovs and looked at the SOG diff, id be soo livid. Hope they put him as the main goalie next season

Someone give this Silovs kid a starting contract STAT. Kid played his butt off, stats be damned. They aren’t everything.

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).

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

Love to see this Cunucks team do so well

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.

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.

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.
