[@pyRoy6]

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.

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.

[@kvickmort1608]

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?

[@mercywilliams2698]

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.

[@methany8788]

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"

Oilers coach is not Woodcroft anymore so I doubt that Skinner will get another start unless Pickard is hurt.

[@dmonsef]

@@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.

[@danieljohn560]

They'll start Pickard until he has a bad game now.

[@user-bi6yf4hv9g]

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.

[@dmonsef]

@@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.

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

[@jefflarson1652]

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.

[@rayflojenkins8689]

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.

[@achroniccarebear7464]

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!

@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.

[@rubberduckie5518]

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.

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.

We should have politicians ship their promises to you. You could pretend you broke them.

Did I hear "street hockey" ?!

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..

Why was Carson Susi playing? I thought he was suspended one game.

[@nicholaslouie7590]
