Reviewing Canucks vs Oilers Game Six

The Canucks showed very little desire to end the series tonight, so we are going to a game seven.

I think they will clearly start Skinner in game 7, and they must put an onslaught of shots on net. Somebody is gonna score off the rebound. Skinner on the road could be a different goalie next game, if the arena is completely rocking which I fully expect it to be.

I’m 40 years old and I’ve watched a lot of playoff hockey in my day, and I can honestly say I have never had more fun than watching this series. The back and forth play, the crazy storylines, the animosity between fan bases. I dunno if anything could ever top this. Hope my Oilers can win game 7, but if not, they sure made a hell of a show out of it.

[@rodzor]

As a Canucks fan, 2004 vs Calgary always stood out to me for those kind of epic moments...epic moments that amounted to losing in Game 7. It really brings you back down to realise that it really is just a game and in the end, was fun to watch and certainly a hell of a show much like this series was... like only two Western Canadian teams could put on.

To be fair, the teams themselves looked pretty bipolar in the last two games. Opposite performances by both teams.

Putting this all on DeSmith in a game 7 would definitely be a "cheeks clenched" moment.

[@Rogue_Strummer]

I agree completely.. I have liked DeSmith for awhile now.. Maybe he was dealing with an injury of some sort. I don't know. But, Silov's did look tired. The problem for me is Silov's has played so well at times..I feel like you might be able to squeeze one last huge effort out of him in front of the home crowd, and then maybe go with either Demko or DeSmith in game one if they are able to advance to the next round. I think you ask Silov's how he's feeling, and sit the two goalies down together.. Ask them who gives the best chance to win in game 7 because it's really only the Silov's and DeSmith who know the true answer to that question.

[@jeffholland3979]

As an Oiler fan I’m definitely crossing my fingers they go to DeSmith. Silovs has been the Canucks best player

No, not always. 1997, Todd Marchant, Game 7 OT winner. Oilers fans were just happy to be there in those days. The Oilers had no money to spend and were never expected to win, ever. They had to contend with a titan every year in the first round. Definitely a much humbler fanbase back then.

[@oilersridersbluejays]

1997 was fun. The rest became a mental block for me. 1998 was alright because it was rhe 2nd round but still…

[@devackroyd]

@@oilersridersbluejays That 3-1 series comeback against the loaded Avs was nuts in '98. It's not always about winning, I have a lot of pride and love for the Oilers of that time period. Scrappy underdogs that were never told they could hang and always gave a good showing. The pre salary cap era context is important, it was brutal for small market teams, particularly in the west with Detroit, Dallas and Colorado and the Oilers kept their heads above water.

Hockey gods just wanted a game 7. Silovs was bad, but the team in front of him didn’t even looked like they cared. 9 shots through 40 minutes and all around sloppy effort is inexcusable in the playoffs.

It was tilted for shots all series except for game 5. Skinner got more solid as the game went on, nice to see.

[@devynlich00]

This is going to favor the stars then when it comes to the Western Conference Finals in terms of rest

[@AL4140]

Silovs wasn’t bad. He can only do so much

[@jeffholland3979]

Gotta strongly disagree. Silovs wasn’t bad. He was actually quite good. Goal 1 - Holloway walks the whole team and gets a breakaway. Not on Silovs Goal 2 - Hyman is all alone in the most dangerous part of the ice, and has time to recover the puck and pick his spot. Not on Silovs. Goal 3 - Absolute snipe off the post and in. Could have had it but not a bad goal either Goal 4 - Soucy lets Nuge drive the net unchallenged and bury McDavid’s pass. Not on Silovs. Goal 5 - Kane uses 2 Canucks for the screen and absolutely snipes the corner. He never had a chance at even seeing it let alone stopping it. Not on Silovs Silovs has been the Canucks best player all series, and even in a 5-1 loss, he only gave up one goal that wasn’t mostly on someone else

[@datriaxsondor590]

"We want the cup" chants, was a good reminder for the players in the moment of the game, what they are playing for. If anything, I thought it was actually a good move on the part of the fans. Players hear that, and I'm sure they get that little extra push in their step being reminded, just what's at stake tonight. 🤷‍♂

[@user-sm3ii5dk1u]

We have watched so many great players and even great teams choke when it mattered. We want, we need 16 playoff wins this year, and that is only as a start.

[@SpicyPotatoe]

I was at the game and I didn't hear the cup chant. Granted, me and the guys I was surrounded by were having fun chirping Garland all night.

[@christhornycroft3686]

I noticed that they didn't have it, too, but I hoped that if they could get it to the 1st intermission tied 2-2, Tocchet could make some adjustments and refocus the team, but that second period was a killer. Obviously, the Canucks have come back all year, but there was nothing there. The Oilers talk about shooting themselves in the foot in previous losses, but the Canucks did the exact same thing tonight. The Oilers came to play, as expected, facing elimination, and the Canucks didn't. Even Miller looked out of it.

[@scotty5658]

That was a tough watch. Thought the way VAN won the last game would have them buzzing. Hopefully the urgency returns in front of the home crowd

[@buzzsaw1000]

I don't think silovs was that bad, he'd probably want the Hyman and Bouchard goal back, but Hyman was allowed to corrall a puck right in the slot.

[@steamr0ll]

I wish they had rested Silovs tonight.

[@3ormore660]

Skinner never saw alot of rubber BUT some of the saves he made were big.

[@Dyatomik]

They absolutely threw away those man advantages with just trying to set up perfect shot opportunities when at that point they should have been shooting ANY half decent shot opportunities.

[@joelface]

Honestly, their lack of ability to get set up in the zone has been their undoing. Once they get set up, they often look great and only fail to score because they whiff on an open net. But then you turn around and watch Edmonton walk into the Canucks zone with 100% efficiency and it reflects even worse on the Canucks. Hope they can figure it out.

[@lukeflyswatter3203]

It's a mystery how a team can come out to play one game but be invisible the next game.

[@lizwiens671]

Tochet just said Demko won’t be there for game 7. I agree, I could see right away Vancouver just didn’t have it today.

[@joelface]

The last two games have given both fanbases a lot of humility. Anything can happen in a game 7. Regardless of who wins tomorrow, either team COULD do it. The handshakes will be well-earned at the end of the game. I really hope the Canucks can show up and play with heart and grit and resiliency, like so many of us know they can. Leave it all on the line. They've had such a special year and I really hope for them that they can feel proud of the game they play in game 7, no stone unturned.

[@cmdrflake]

Wow. The Canucks were doing their best version of complacent Buffalo Sabres style of play. It also was very, very Bruin like. They lost most draws. I would have the C’s practice face offs and then, get them in a hotel. They seriously need to be jolted. Then, a hard competitive practice session is in order. They must not play in second gear. Yikes! Before the game Monday, I would make the room shake. Upset ‘em. This complacent attitude is poison, guys!

[@rubberduckie5518]

I agree with you. Tocchet needs to rip these guys. They’re liable to play the same way if nothing is done.

Oilers should have and could have won in 4 or 5. They needed to step on the gas up 4-1 in the 1st, instead of parking and taking a nap. Show up, skate, hit, and work hard for 60 minutes. Now they likely are about 35-40% chance to win but should be 90-95%... it's all mental and choosing to work and pay the price. They don't do that enough, but they can beat any team in the league.

Bringing up Dallas & Edmonton, my dad told me that the Dallas vs Edmonton series in 97 was his favorite non Red Wings series. He said Dallas had a 3-1 series lead and was leading game 5 by a 3-0 score late game. Oilers score with 3 mins left. He said, "well, at least they won't get shut out now." Short time later the Oilers score again. He told me he turned up the radio because it was getting good. Then he said the Oilers tied it with a little over a minute left to play and they capped it off by winning it in triple overtime. He said they went on to come back and win the series. I wish I was older and there with him to listen to that game (as well as the Wings games that year) but when this series happened, it was before my first birthday. Sounded like a hell of a series.

I’d definitely play De Smith in goal if Demko isn’t ready, as Artie looks tired. We’ll see what happens in game 7. The crowd will motivate the Canuckleheads to a high level, hopefully.

Remember Oilers and Canucks, regardless of who wins you only have to carry an entire nations Cup hopes on y’alls backs. Shouldn’t be too hard

[@user-sm3ii5dk1u]

No country's fans will be on the Oilers backs. Everyone hates Edmonton and will even more if we win the cup (again),

[@Squishysforbreakfast]

​@user-sm3ii5dk1u don't be too fast. The Oil spill is growing...

[@keldzh]

I was surprised there was no "Ref is sucks" chant when McDevid had been assessed with a high stick. After so many comments about it was right calls not to assess any penalty for high stick on Hughes in game 2 and no at least fine for Hyman for on purpose cross check to the face of Zadorov after game 3 it was unexpected.

[@westcoastexpress_sedins]

It was very hard time to watch G6 today and I do agree that Silovs need to take a rest. Now it's time to believe that Canucks never lost streak this Play Offs. Go Canucks Go!

[@32a34a]

I believe at the end Zadorov and Kane were exchanging Poutine recipes and well things got out of hand.

[@acermaniacboy]

Im sure the players know themselves they have to do better. Just frustrating that we played like that today

[@Wonder123-fy2jf]

The passengers are back ! They can't just keep an eye on the guy with the puck. They have to know where the rest of the players of the other teams are and moving to. When they move, move with them. Move the feet ! Get to where you can receive a pass and shoot. Don't just stand there and wait for the puck to get to you. Change the position, change the angle.

What are you looking at during your video? It's just to the right of the camera.

[@brizzchizz7302]

Shannon good point on Silovs being played above his means perhaps, but I just don’t see how you can apply all that pressure onto a cold DeSmith for 7 you have to ride Arturs.

[@TheHockeyGuy]

How did a cold Pickard fare?

[@devackroyd]

​@@TheHockeyGuy Well put, I'm an Oilers fan but it isn't that black and white with goaltending, being "cold" can be spun to mean different things.

[@user-sm3ii5dk1u]

Every goalie that has ever played is ready to play a game 7 with 1 minute of notice, well, except Edmonton's goalies in 2006 in the finals, they were busy doing something else.

[@devackroyd]

@@user-sm3ii5dk1u tbf that was Ty Conklin, Jussi Markkanen actually played pretty admirably in that series in his starts from games 2 through 7.

[@user-sm3ii5dk1u]

@@devackroyd The entire Oiler team failed to even show up for the 06 final round game 7. It is still embarrassing.

[@yhprum413]

Watching Vancouver play tonight was eerily reminiscent of The Simpsons Tire Fire... The Oilers played a great shut down game, the momentum swings in these playoffs have been more foreboding than the egregious refereeing that has taken place on all accounts.

[@thelastmikester]

Canucks did not want to win this game lol, what even was this effort, I don't understand how they go from their best effort of the playoffs to... whatever this was

[@bananian]

Probably got told by the aquilini to stretch it to game 7 for the extra revenue lol.

[@quincee3376]

I'm watching Game 7 now as we all are and Vancouver only has 5 shots on goal and it's halfway through the 2nd Period.

[@bananian]

@@quincee3376 Yeah doesn't look good lol. Oh well. 🫠

[@legitlyspelunking]

As an Oilers fan the last few games before this had me frustrated. I've seen us play good hockey, and we were not delivering. Last night's game was a refreshing change. Still a long road ahead, but regardless I'm excited to watch game 7 playout, whoever ends up taking it! 😄

[@justbleedprod.9414]

I can’t imagine how Shannon feels having to put on the opponent’s jersey after a game like this🤣

[@TheHockeyGuy]

Seven years of practice.

[@quag311]

I’ve hardly missed a video of Shannon’s ever since game 7 against Vegas. That dedication and commitment is extremely uncommon on this site. It really struck me then and his passion for the sport regardless of the victor is beyond admirable. ❤

[@pyRoy6]

Whatever team you cheer for, that era of Oilers sweaters are just beautiful. Dark blue, burnt(?) orange on both the whites and the orange ones... not like the bright orange they switched to. I also love the 2-color numbers and lettering.

[@GrillVogel]

Thought Skinner would be the center of attention as the game went on. I was wrong

[@hockeyguy515]

Am I going too far by saying draisaitl is the best playoff player I’ve seen since the 90s? The way he elevates his game is amazing. Mcdavid is mcdavid, but I wouldn’t necessarily say he elevates beyond his regular season play (which is hard to do), but my goodness, draisaitl is an absolute monster in the playoffs.

[@kevinbudzinski9576]

Two years ago Draisaitl had 32 points in only 16 playoff games playing on basically one leg due to a bad high ankle sprain!

[@shaman2384]

GM7 is always welcome, and the winner of this series needs all the mental gauntlet to prepare for the Stars who look strong on paper sending home both 2023 and 2022 champs.

[@carlosmachado-sd8il]

Regardless if Silovs is tired or had a poor game you're not winning many games when you only score 1 goal.

[@lonelycake4114]

Why was podkolzin on the ice?

[@Wogger72]

Suffocating Oilers offense no more! McDavid said ENOUGH full on McJesus mode!

[@TheHockeyGuy]

Getting last change helps.

[@user-bi6yf4hv9g]

It seems Miller and Boeser need each other to be effective......Who will they play against ? Connors lines or Draisaitls? As you know Connor and Leon arent playing together 5 on 5.....Ultimately, I dont think they both care who they play against....Gm 7 should be a good one!..

[@Lanearndt]

I love good hockey, my rules in the playoffs are oilers first, then other Canadian teams, then the best team and then fairytale stories! If Vancouver wins, I would totally cheer for Silovs to win a cup as a 3rd stringer!! Plus also, teams to Cheer against, Vegas for being cheaters, Dallas for being our foes! I would cheer for Rangers cause I love Zibenajad and maybe Panthers cause they're a super elite team!

[@grandcrowdadforde6127]

THATS! the real Edmonton OILRs!! }}} one word ] DOMINANT! they ll do this gm 7 to Vanc. This he sez is a Stanley Coupestanley team>>

[@TheHockeyGuy]

Lol, sure.

[@artie218]

Interesting Vancouver seemed to play like they didn't need it. Well, the truth is they didn't, not like Edmonton did. I think Vancouver will be a different team in game 7, it is strange how inconsistent Vancouver can be. 15 shots against the mighty defense of the Edmonton Oilers, wow thats really mailing it in. But then again, the Rangers did just about the same thing after the 2nd period of game 5.. Its going to be a great game, good luck to Vancouver.. it will be fun watching Shannon be conflicted if Vancouver wins the next game and goes against Dallas, though I think the allegiance remains with Vancouver.

[@EinSofQuester]

The worst game they've played not just the playoffs, but the entire reg season. I don't see the canucks winning game seven. Stick a fork in them. They're done.

[@bananian]

They will bounce back
