Silovs steps up big, while Skinner gets outplayed in Game 3

Arturs Silovs made 42 saves for the Canucks in their win, while Stuart Skinner allowed 4 goals on 15 shots and got pulled after two periods for the Oilers. TSN Oilers reporter Ryan Rishaug and TSN Canucks reporter Farhan Lalji join SC with Jay Onrait to break down both goalies play, how Brock Boeser continues to dominate in the postseason, and how defence cost the Oilers in Game 3.

[@MSmith-cp1tz]

Silovs is having his Bubble Demko moment. No matter how much the TSN wants to belittle and downplay what hes doing.

[@nhlgoalhornsandsoccersongs7942]

Agreed, but demkos was more impressive cause he had to save more cross crease passes since our strategy was different back then. He was also left one on one so much that i don't even know how he saved some shots... Silovs is good but he still has to improve if he wants to get close demkos level

He’s a future great goalie but this just was a fast track because of the injuries to goalies ahead of him

[@neostar63]

More like a tale of two teams. One has structured play, depth, commitment to defence, some great individual performances by their leaders. The other is a one line team playing their big guns for half the game and hanging on for dear life.

[@doublestrokeroll]

yep...exactly.....the canucks have "out structured" the Oilers all year long and yet people are surprised by this?

Actually the expected goal share and shot metrics show Edmonton is out playing Vancouver. It's the goalie issue for sure.

Edmonton Spoilers need more then a goalie, they need a real team as Connor McDudd and Leon DRYcycle only play when there left unforchecked like a pair a 12 year old ballerina skaters at a birthday party. Put the heat on them and the team is average at best.

[@doublestrokeroll]

geezus.....I get that Oiler fans are pretty much delusional about their team but when the hell is the eastern media going to wake up and realize they were completely not paying attention to this canucks team. It's absolutely ridiculous. The Oilers lack of structure against top teams has been apparent all year starting from when the canucks smoked them. Their defensive break downs ARE the way they play. The Oilers can be "out disciplined" by any team that sticks to their structure. Were they even watching this game? The canucks got and maintained a solid two goal lead TWICE. They did play more passively than they should in the 3rd and they need to work on that but it was a 4 - 2 game with a 3rd Oiler goal that was going wide but bounced off a canuck. Bad luck is definitely a huge part of hockey so that's not an excuse, they all count, but it IS a reflection of what it took for the Oilers to score it. Did anyone notice how after that goal the canucks started to clue into the fact they needed to push back a little more? What happened? They made some good clears and the Oilers really never got a decent chance in those final seconds. This IS WHAT THE Canucks do! They've been winning games like this ALL year long. In fact, if it wasn't for a brutally passive 3rd period in game 2, they probably would be going for a sweep in game 4. Wake up! The canucks are a far far deeper team at every position except "top 2 superstars". And yeah....there is a chance Mcd and dry could win the Oilers this series...they ARE that good, but the canucks goaltending would have to fall apart and even MORE importantly they'd have to abandon their structure. And that simply hasn't happened for any significant length of time this entire season. Even at their worst this year it was 2 bad games and then reset and win. They're playing a lot better than at that time. (but not quite as good as the beginning of the season.) I just don't see the canucks losing THAT much focus. In fact, there are signs they're starting to put it back together like they had it in the first half of the season. The canucks having the lead in this series shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. If it is a surprise, then YOU weren't paying attention.

[@RobDucharme]

0:55 Just watch the past 10 seconds or so leading up to this timestamp. All he wants is the puck. That level of compete is what you want in a goalie. He's like a cat on a laser dot. 1:06 They HAD to get shots in the third. I know the Canucks needed to as well in order to generate a buffer, but I think the Canucks were just as content to let the Oil rage away in vain.. 2:05 Remember the first Boeser goal (the first real one, not the one that became the Lindholm goal)? WTF was McDavid doing in the corner double teaming Miller when he should have been covering Brockstar? And then that Foegele folly that got Boeser his second goal (I almost feel bad for the fans that tossed their hats when the first goal was EVENTUALLY changed.. That's why I bring cheap hats to the games). Oilers basically lost the game on those two goals right there. The GWG by Lindholm was a weird one. I feel like ONE of the Oilers in front of him could have stepped into him as he got the puck, but the red carpet was rolled out instead. Lots of video for them to study after this game. Well, except for Silovs, apparently. According to Draisaitl, they don't need to study Silovs. Weird comment for him to make, but ok. Canucks are most likely doing so with Skinner. Hey Oilers fans, Canuck fan here. Your team HAS to win this series. My team very well COULD win it, but your team HAS to. Time is ticking. Feet are going to start getting itchy. The attitude can't be, "Well, we're making steady progress" without the concern that it's not enough for the next year or so. Time to start pushing that pile of chips into the middle and go all in on elite goaltending.

[@lannydaaronsburner1278]

skinner just isn't a capable goalie, look at his mobility, technical ability (zadarov goal) and athleticism compared to other top goalies and even Silovs himself he just isn't a top goaltender in the NHL. With Pickard too he just doesn't look like a NHL goalie regardless of technical ability. Terrible goaltending has plagued the Oilers for ages now and will be the reason they won't win a cup until they acquire a capable goalie
