Gotta feel bad for Silovs. The kid played as well as you could ask from a 23-year-old 3rd string goalie.

[@kellanmohan4132]

Wouldn't feel to bad for him his play has ensured he will get a nhl shot and millions of dollars

[@bradfedick]

he wont be a 3rd string next season.

[@rubberduckie5518]

Well if we move him or Demko to say Colorado, we better get a Rantanen or Lehkonen in return. Obviously Canucks need more offense.

[@SpicyPotatoe]

Like the other person said before me: He's going to get a good shot in the NHL after his showing in these playoffs. Hoping for the best for him as an Oilers fan!!

That nuge goal was such bad positioning though.

He’s a starter on any NHL team IMO. Excellent goaltender.

[@Rps2800]

Shannon: I’m a Boston fan, so for a lot of my life the Canucks were either just another hockey team I hardly ever watched, or (for a couple weeks in 2011) my sworn enemy. Then I found this channel and grew a massive soft spot for them thanks to you. So I just want to thank you for all that you do on this channel, hopefully that at least makes you feel a little bit better tonight. I know you’ve said you don’t think the Canucks will win a Cup in your lifetime, but I still believe they will, because I believe that good things should happen to good people, and for all the entertainment you’ve given to me & 300k+ other people, you deserve it.

They played very well given the pre-season expectations of them. I knew they would be a tough out and I honestly didn’t think Edmonton would beat them.

At least they scored unlike in 2011 that made me more mad they didn't try.

GG to the Oilers. What a turnaround for the nucks this season compared to the last. It's too bad it felt like they really only showed up for maybe 15min out of 120min in the last 2 games.

That's what bothers me the most. It felt like we just gave it to them.

[@cbzblaze2457]

Let's not kid ourselves. Oilers started to sit back and we all know what happens when you do that. If they kept attacking it would've been same outcome as game 6.

[@mcthunderstick2374]

@@cbzblaze2457agreed, both goals were Edmontons fault. McLeod handed Garland the first goal and Bouchard had tons of time to not ice the puck leading to goal 2. Vancouver is a great team this year with a big future, but they only hung on because Edmonton was making mistakes. I’m an Avs fan, so not looking at this as a fan of either team, but Edmonton was clearly the better team. We will see what the future holds.

[@endorsedtoast2766]

Yeah not doing enough at all in those last 2 games

[@pewdiepiekjellberg4295]

The Canuck fans seemed to take the loss with class. No booing or throwing stuff on the ice, a lot of cheering and respect for what their team did this year. 🧡💙

[@devackroyd]

What an unbelievable series. I am a diehard Oilers guy, but all respect to the Canucks, they battled and never rolled over at any point in this series. Silovs was incredible in this game, they have something in this kid, this could have been ugly but Arturs really kept them in it with a few insane 5 alarm saves. As far as the Power Play goes, I think losing Boeser really hurt them in that area, all three of their Power Play goals in the series ran through him. The last minute heroics of this team are unlike any I have ever seen really, super well structured and opportunistic. However, serious credit to the Oilers for battling and defending extremely well in the last 4:30ish with the game in the balance and not folding after having played such a fine defensive game up to that point. For a brief moment, a 2013 Leafs level collapse was on the table. McDavid wasn't even on the score sheet tonight either, Edmonton rolled all four lines and had success with them all on the forecheck, super proud of this group. Also, credit to Knoblauch for pushing all the right buttons Woodcroft didn't last year, an unbelievably ballsy and poised coach with some of the decisions he made at the right times in this series. Edmonton showed some serious resilience with this series comeback, says a lot about the group. Also, shoutout to RNH, who continues to not get enough love, so awesome that the Burnaby kid ends up with the winner in this series. The Canucks have lots of good pieces, this isn't the last serious tilt we see between these two clubs I think! Props to you Shannon for always staying even keel and providing great content to watch even when your team loses, you are actually the best.

[@cooperhunt1406]

I'm so proud of this team, man. Like most Canucks fans I thought this year was going to be another season of mediocrity, but the players completely changed thier mindset. They did the things they didn't do in previous years. They were disciplined, played well defensively, and won the little battles you need to win to win hockey games. I had so much fun watching this team this year, and while it hurts to have it end this way, I'm so proud of our players and our coaches. Now its about learning from this experience and building upon it next year. Hopefully, Petey heals from whatever has been ailing him these past few months, and Brock fully recovers as well. I definitely want Zadorov and Lindy back for another year, too. I know it's a tough way to have our season end, but I hope Shannon's as optimistic as I am.

[@Mike_Poppe]

For it being the first attempt under Alvine and Tochett, this was an excellent showing by Vancouver and their fans should be proud of this season.

No Boeser for Game 7 was rough. I had no team in this series but wanted the Canucks to get through. They looked tired last few games and especially late in the 3rd after they emptied the tank on the push in finally breaking the stifling D EDM played. All credit to EDM though they played excellent these last 2 games. I’m going to pick the Stars to come through in the WCF. They simply have more depth but EDM might have a chance if they can frustrate DAL through the NZ like they did to VAN but unfortunately for EDM that is exactly what DAL does to teams as well and it might end up being EDM frustrated: Regardless I do expect a long series if only for the fact that EDMs lethal power play shows no signs of slowing which maybe just maybe can give them enough offense to wear down DAL.

I feel it's a bit unfair to claim that the Canucks won't win the cup in your lifetime, after this game. I think this team has so much potential to the future... They just need their young starts to mature a bit and with adding right pieces, this team is built to be in PO every year... Honestly, I don't think I can remember the Canucks team which was young and built for future as this one... I just hope they don't f*** it up as they used to... Not a Nucks fan, but Vancouver is one of the franchises I wish success...

Hats off to Silovs. He was the reason the Nucks were even in this series. Without him, they never had a chance. They need him to challenge for a starting position next year. Canucks showed in the regular season and in the playoffs that they have a great future ahead.

[@_KRose]

That third period comeback attempt again... If only the Canucks played the whole game like that. Man, as an Oilers fan, that was so frustrating. It's like "You guys have slept through this whole game and now you're gonna try to steal it at the end again? Really?" I'm happy Edmonton won. It's not a series I had high hopes for them, but it's cool to see them continue on. I'm about 80% sure it ends with Dallas though, but hey we'll see what happens. Thanks for the games, Vancouver.

Oilers fan here. I have followed the Oilers from the Beginning (yes I am that old). All I can say is that I really appreciate it when we are in a division here all the teams are tough. Thats whats leads to the wins. I am so glad that we had a battle with the Nucks. If the Oilers win out I want to say thank you to the Nuck for forcing the team to reach a different level. Whenever the Oilers won the Cup they had to battle (Calgary, Jets and now Nucks). The battle makes you hard and you realize why the Stanley Cup playoff are the best sporting event in the World. It just gets harder from here and I hope that the Oilers have learned and remembered how hard this is. In the past it was the Jets or the flames which "tempered" the team for the war in fromt of them. The Canucks will be a problem for everyone next year. I can't think of any reason why they would regress.

I'm so excited for next year's Nucks, and I'm now rooting for Dallas to win it all!

[@matth821]

This is going to be an exciting conference final 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@jamesruscheinski8602]

great series

[@Housemonkey]

Sorry for your loss Shannon

[@br1an432]

im not happy with how the canucks played the last 2 games, but overall im incredibly proud of how the team overperformed in the regualr season and playoffs, and this doesnt feel like the best its gonna get for this canucks team, and that is an exiting feeling also im glad the canucks got some playoff expeirience, and got to see how teams play/defend in the playoffs, i think that will help them get some extended offensive zone time, and more shots next year

[@heddysteve7078]

Damn bro have watched every review the last two years, I feel for ya.

[@drake6143]

Joshua had 9 hits tonight, say what you will about the rest of the team he and Garland always show up to play.

[@SamiAhmed-ru4ci]

The final 4 teams were all in the top 7 of the last power rankings of the season

[@__DGNR8__]

looking forward to your edmonton vs dallas prediction/preview

[@chrisbelos2834]

vancouver dropping the last 2 games with a 32 shots combined just shows they had more issues than just the injuries. they were all looking for passing instead of shooting and there is the problem.

[@coreymickanuik8199]

Glad Edmonton won and thought they played really good the last couple games, still defensive brain farts but they got the job done. Just wanna say that the Canucks are a great team, loved the rivalry and great to see the Canucks make some noise. Lots of respect for Vancouver and its fans.

[@MattAlbie]

Oilers jersey looking CLEAN! Boy does that look good!

[@jeniasmackay7931]

I agree. Fits him perfectly

[@SlickSniper3]

Fantastic series. Vancouver was dead out of water last season. This run was great. Nail biter near the end of this game lol. Cheers

[@VexJinks]

The series was closer than the Oilers should have let it be. The Oilers have shown that they can turn it to another level in the playoffs when they want, but it’s just getting that for a full game, let alone a series, has been the trick. But a more mature, seasoned Oilers came into tonight’s game and showed they can win it down the stretch. If the Oilers get to the Finals, I think the Vancouver series will be the toughest series they’ve had in the playoffs.

[@thcgamer810]

I know this stings for Canucks fans, but I think this 'no effort' line is both insulting to the Oilers, and even more insulting to the Canucks. Canucks were amazing! What an amazing season they've had... From missing the playoffs to going 7 with an experienced and deadly Edmonton Oilers. The fact of the matter is that this series should have been 4-0 Edmonton, but the amazing fortitude, persistence, and consistency of this team took it to 7. Once the Oilers found their game (game 6) we saw that the Oilers are [currently] a superior team, and they dominated the Canucks. And then there's Silov.... Holy sh*t, that guy is a star in the making. He was absolutely brilliant. So Canucks fans should be thrilled about how their team has performed. As an Oilers fan, I'm glad they won, but man do I respect the Canucks.

[@percys9427]

thanks Hockey Guy I am so miserable this time of year = losing since 1971 has got me down

[@explodonut9240]

One helluva year, can't wait for next year.

[@leonbruno3745]

If I had a hockey channel and my team lost I'd lose it on here and probably get demonetized lol. I enjoy your take on the game, you have a great view on the game - thanks for wearing the Jersey.

[@angelwright2354]

I like the canucks it’s a building block for next season and had a hell of a season with winning 50 games and made the playoffs and it’s great momentum for next season.

[@Dimensionalize]

Proud of the team, had no expectations going into the season and they proved a lot of people wrong. I'll be cheering for Dallas the rest of the way!

[@mobyjones]

Had a good chuckle when I opened the video and saw you wearing an Oilers jersey

[@Vertigo11]

Thanks Shannon for all you do!

[@D...M...A...]

Hug from New York , THG ...

[@danielzychniewicz2633]

Dude, you guys were missing your top two players and still were hanging in there, hats off to y’all and y’all are a very good team.

[@cheeroh]

Let's go Oilers! Last 5 minutes were really stressful but it's nice to see the Oilers advance.

[@oilersridersbluejays]

Yeah, I wasn’t sitting down at all. It was a nail biter as I figured. The Canucks were a very tough opponent.

[@my3dviews]

It shouldn't have been that close though. That horrible giveaway that led to the first Canuck goal, allowed them back in it. They were lucky to come out of it with a win.

[@terrywoods6516]

I feel your pain!!!! Caps fan since 1974; watched them in the handshake line 27 times until that GLORIOUS night in Vegas!!!! They will win it in your lifetime. By the way, I loved rockin' the Donny B #33 sweater last week.

[@shabazzed]

the oilers would kill for a goalie like silovs

[@rubberduckie5518]

Im worried they’re gonna trade him for a stupid return tbh.

[@believingintheblood8540]

So, no one left I care about in the playoffs.

[@robertperrotto870]

Taking the series to 7 with a 3rd string netminder speaks volumes about the Nucks future.

[@rileytobacco1293]

great season through and through, excitement doesnt end here though! here comes an entertaining off season for us canucks fans!!

[@isidornimages]

A step forward from previous season is always something to be happy about. Hopefully the future is bright.

[@christianouellette1006]

We grieve together Shannon ❤

[@ninety7427]

It's official that the Oilers are really hated that much more by Nucks and Flames fans. Beating both teams in the playoffs when they were at their best.

[@TheFusionmix]

Canucks looked gassed and made it look interesting there at the end. They did so well for a team nobody expected to go anywhere.

[@dontworryaboutit273]

Silovs did unbelievable as a 3rd string goalie. He made several highlight reel saves against McDavid and Draisaitl, two top forwards in the entire world. That is is pretty damn good.
