The three fools behind that desk don't even know the names of the Canucks players, as usual its ALL about the Oil, nothing to say about the Nucks

[@coltonmarples4269]

To be fair it's a lot easier to learn the Oilers roster when you only need to know two names.

[@danielpatterson5189]

They'll be forced to learn when the Canucks are the only Canadian team left.

[@colinsellers1143]

Thats fine, we dont need or want TSN support

[@user-vh2uc7fr8t]

Whats all the crying about goalies? Canucks rocking 3rd string and not complaining..

[@AP_TV]

Cuz he made a Career high in saves look at what skinner did lol

[@AtticsTV]

"You really going to go with Pickard, who has no playoff appearance?" *Laughs in Silovs*

[@timw4369]

oilers are a 2 man team with no goaltender and no 3rd and 4th line.

[@NatsdadsamI]

He scientific approach, huh? Clever. Lmao

[@jessiefroese5591]

Yah cuz Hyman is so bad right lol

[@jessiefroese5591]

Hyman? Ekholm? Bouchard?

[@doctoryes539]

People who don't know hockey always believed NHL playoff like NBA playoff, their superstar forward can play 30 mins game after game without rest 😎

[@mortaljorma69]

Newsflash... It's been like that for years.

[@nobuddy2012]

If all the teams currently leading their series (NYR, Dal, Van, Fla) go on to win their series, it would be the first time in my memory that all the D1 winners went to the conference finals.

[@StreetFig]

I hope they really go after McDiver in game 4. keep grinding him into the dirt and close out the series in 5

[@dangraesser5341]

The oil was a -300 to win this series. Insane how the bookmakers gave vancouver no chance. Unreal

[@alleneng]

prob cos of oilers high power offence against canucks third string goalie. its the only reason

[@NeykaBlitZ]

if skinner had even a .875 save % oilers would be up 3-0

[@shanegleeson5823]

@@NeykaBlitZPetterson should have a few goals too, Canucks should then be 3-0 if you want to play that game

[@NeykaBlitZ]

@@shanegleeson5823 im sorry why do you think Pettersen should have 3 goals. hes been an absolute ghost for months. lol what are you even talking about, canucks fans are so comical. Asking a goalie to have an .875 save % is like asking a player to score once every 10 games...

[@Clerence999]

this is fucked up, nothing on boarding on petterson head first into the boards, nothing on ryan's crotch shot on hoglander, nothing to Kanes on the slewfoot on hughes, hyman cross check zedorov in the face is ok as well?

Can hardly wait for the start of the Elks season said no-one ever--oilers after all these years and all those first overall picks are not good enough --media halfwits just can't believe what's happening

[@neostar63]

Oilers poorly built

[@NatsdadsamI]

Not sure what that will make the canucks in a week.

[@Ace96x10]

Knob made a mistake Taking Skinner out? WTF?? Knob made a massive blunder mistake keeping him in this long! It was really stupid to not give Pichard more starts all along, so that he wouldn't have to be coming in stone cold. This was foreseeable, since I predicted it in Oct. Bad Coaching mistake with Skinner. If he is really gona go yet again with Skinner, knob had better be ready to pull him after even one soft goal.

[@pnutbutrncrackers]

When my Avs played Edmonton in our '22 Cup year I felt the Oilers were taxing McDavid hugely all through the series. I'm not sure that approach is sustainable. He's still just a human.

[@Dylligraphy]

The alternative is even worse for them because their depth guys get exploited by the likes of Lindholm and Boeser

[@joeynova9896]

Oiler fans think he's Superman.

[@tifK1127]

90% of their reporting is Oilers and how they can improve, hello?! Let’s talk about what the Canucks are doing right! They play as a TEAM with many great lines, not just a few superstars.

[@grizzlycanuk8622]

Gotta win 4 games to win best of 7 series. All l have heard by most, not all canuk fans is complaining about McDavid,Hyman, blah blah blah. Not admitting that sandwich check on McDavid was a dangerous carreer ending play. Officiating has been brutal in all the series and has caused this goon crap. There have been missed calls on both sides that have been missed and has caused this mess. As a Oiler fan l want to see good clean aggressive hockey, Call a consistent game win or lose may the best team win.

[@Lakingsfan140]

Oiler fans worship skinner and they also harass other fan bases 24/7 in any comment section after 1 goal. I have never met more rude fans Than them except maybe ranger fans

[@Silenceaverted]

It’s crazy to have a defenseman you’re paying over 9 million for and you got 4 forwards with more ice time a game than him

[@waldmarwolchuk9483]

GO Canucks GO

[@SS-iv7wv]

I think the Oilers are pretty much their Condors AHL team with 97 and 29. You can't play 2 guys 30 minutes a game and call yourself a cup contender. Edmonton fans being Canadian you'd think would know the game a little better. I see more educated fan bases in Arizona and LA than I do in Edmonton.

[@mortaljorma69]

Canucks are using like a zamboni driver as a goalie and no problems. It's a team game and that is a a weird thing to comprehend for oilers.

[@user-yg1dg6xm2g]

Whether Skinner gets pulled or not, the spotlight is on him, and he knows it. He has to play better, and he knows it.

[@waldmarwolchuk9483]

Skinner allowed 4 goals on 15 shots hes the reason they got dusted against vegas last year in playoffs. This guy no #1 they wont win jack with him in net. Rebound control positioning and puck handling far superior by calvin pickard

[@geebster.]

Silovs has started more games in these playoffs than hes played in the regular season. Pickard is way more proven. Given that pride kicks in and who the Oilers have, I think regardless of who they put in net they win game 4 and even the series.

[@BikJTube]

Silovs was also the MVP in the worlds last yr, Don't get it twisted!

[@colinsellers1143]

I didnt even know who your backup was til he came in last game. Pickard? He wouldnt even be our Abbotsford goalie

All the best to Foogle, Hallaway, McCloud and Parry!

[@carletonrutherford1799]

The title of this video is stupid. The Oilers are NOT fighting an uphill battle heading into game 4. I'm a Canucks fan and the Oilers completely dominated the last 30 minutes of game 3. All they have to do is do more of that, and they will win. If the Canucks continue playing like they did in the last half of that game, holding on for dear life, icing the puck over and over again, and spending so much time in their own zone with the Oilers controlling the game, it's over.
