Alright, This Has Been Pretty Unreal 

Watching Kane go from smiling to incredulous was gold.

Zadorov has definitely become one of the leaders on the team. I think Canucks fans would be pretty unhappy if the team doesn't take a good run at resigning the guy.

Zadorov is exactly what we needed

Thank you Calgary. I wish all the best for Kuzmenko and hope he flourishes there.

Zadorov has kinda been doing what Ekholm has done for the Oilers these past seasons, flourishing with the opportunities on a new team. Fun to see!

I don’t think either one should have gotten a penalty there

To me, I was surprised that Zadonov was traded for a late 3rd and a fifth round pick. I thought he was doing to be traded for at least late 2nd round pick... Vancouver really did great in the deadlines trade

Watched the game, UTTER INSANITY. I do think also Boesser (probably butchering the name, I'm a Toronto lad turned Canucks Fan XD) Got the Hat-Trick. I watched that 5 times, I never saw the tip. If you gotta watch a goal that many times, just give it to guy already. I could have either Canucks OR Oilers move on, We all want the cup to come back home up north, so we're all kinda on the same team here. My boys are making me proud, GO CANUCKS GO!!!

It's pretty safe to say that the Flames are no longer the Oilers biggest rival and they probably won't be for another decade. I have never seen anything like this Oilers-Canucks rivalry. Absolute chaos.

Loved how neatly he folded Kane's clothes back on that shelf, too bad for Evander he happened to be inside of them.

I usually don’t pay attention to goalies as much as the other positions but Silovs was a beast last night. Hardly any wasted movements, perfect reactions, kid is gonna be a star im telling you

I loved playoff because Johnny feeds us with so many video ❤

As an AVS fan, I’m very happy with how good Zadorov has been doing, hopefully we beat Dallas and play them in WCF

As a Flames fan I miss big Z

Zadorov sees kane skating uncontrollably toward the bench knowing exactly what was about to happen and quickly moves in to try to prevent him from falling head first into perrys' lap however this being his intention all along poor Nikita would struggle unsuccessfully to prevent the inevitable then not once but twice his very life was threatened by skates flailing and how is he re payed ? A hand shake ? A pat on the back ? A simple thank you sir ? You guessed it a penalty locked him up like a common criminal.

My buddy and I are partying in BC right now. Back country on the lake at a pub cheering for the oilers while every gives us dirty looks but some good sports. Stayed at the bar after hours and made friends with the staff who were oilers fans 😂

Canucks vs Rangers final please

We loved big Z in Colorado. Not surprised to see his success in van

Zaddy was my favourite flame. Happy to see him have success.

My thoughts? Another excellent video..! Top-5 in my book for hockey content on RU-vid, always enjoy your commentary… keep up the great work!

I actually think zadorov had more to do with mcdavid getting crosschecked in the face than soucy did.

He's a complete wildcard, which can cut both ways. He's big, he's physical, and he has more offensive talent than credited for.... but he does go off-the-reservation once in a while.

I know the series is not over but I think if the Canucks win game 4 the series is over.

As a canuck fan the most frustrating part for me was the passive third period in game 2. That was really a huge mistake. Just a little more push back like they played the 3rd in game 3 and there is a good chance the canucks would be playing for the sweep in game 4. Lindholm starting to roll should be a fantastic thing. If it forces the Oilers to pay attention to that line then EP's line are going to get an easier match up and that would really create a huge depth advantage even more than it already is. Soucy got a game, and yeah, he deserved it. I know...McD was being a whinny little baby with the slash, but you've gotta let it go. Shame Hyman didn't get suspended for the same thing on big Z. Even worse as Z needed stitches apparently. Soucy out for game 4 kind of sucks but they managed huge chunks of this season with him out so they should be OK. Juulsen's been really good in relief. Just stick to the system. Good signs showing that they're improving their discipline and systems play. Notice how the canucks were being a bit passive like in game 2, just before the 3rd Oiler goal? The responded very well. They realized it, and started pushing back a little. It lead to 2 or 3 nice clears in that final minute and no great chances for the Oil. The PK too. Yeah it was only 50% and that's not great but they killed those last 2 in very solid fashion when it was a huge moment for the Oilers. Their confidence is growing. They know they can control these games and "out discipline" the Oilers with regards to their system. It's true that Dry and McD are capable of single handedly wining this series but in order for that to happen the canucks goal tending would have to fall off a cliff and they'd have to lose focus with their systems play. All things right now point to the systems play improving, not getting worse, so I just don't see it happening. They're in great shape but they've really got to push to get this next one. A loss is not the end of the world but it sure would be nice to be able to wrap this thing up at home.

Unfortunately it's been fixed now but earlier today, Zadorov's wiki page read "defenseman with the Vancouver Canucks and owner of the Edmonton Oilers"! Love this guy but would hate him if he was on any other team Canucks were facing in the playoffs.

As an Avs fan I really liked (and miss) Zadorov. He was awesome and man we could really use that physicality right now.

Zadorov has been that Bruin the nuck’s have wanted on their side since ‘11!

Avs fan here. Many of us were sad to see Big Z leave Colorado. He is a hoot in the media and loves to hit.

Could you talk about silovs grabbing Ryan's stick as he is about to shove it in the net? Or how weak the calls are just to have each team have the same amount of penaltys?

Kneel before General Zad.

Zadorov is a beast. He almost single handily won that series between Col and Cgy. Just relentless on the forecheckers which made Cgy puck shy. I’m a Calgary fan and Van stole him for a 3rd

Go Oilers go!

You're Awesome.

Vegas fan here but I love all Jonny hawkeys videos.

Oilers are cooked. 5th year in a row. They are the best team in the league during the months leading up to the playoffs and EXTREMELY underperform in the playoffs and get bounced. Same thing every. single. year. They are the leafs of the west.

And Zadorov looks like a Bond villain.

Seven games in this series would be a treat.

canucks fan, yep, i love my Zadorov. A LOT.

A good hip check would tùne him in like scott stevens used to dish out But they dont allow that now thats why people like Zadorov and sacey still can play

My only question is... How much to keep Big Z in Big V?!

As an Oilers fan, I genuinely want to see the Oilers win but if they don't I hope the Nucks bring the cup back to Canada. Also, the officiating has been horrendous all around and it feels like it's ruining the series. Lets go Oilers

And in fact Zadorov was “exactly what we (Leafs) need”

To put the two trades in perspective from a nucks pov, those two have become guys that most of us want prioritized on the re-signing order. There's a world in which Hronek a guy who was top 5 all seasoning +- and had a breakout year could be moved for a cost controlled young winger for EP in order to keep them and many would be ok with that. Making our right side possibly Tanev - Zadorov - maybe Myers if really cheap or D'petey /Juullson I love Hronek but he wants top pairing money and on a team where he's PP1 I could see it but with Quinn a big fan of Tanev and Willander on the way, Hronek could fetch a haul and I'm a big fan of Lindholm and big Z

Man we really got fleeced on the Zadorov trade

Every deep playoff run by an overlooked team requires that teams depth be shown, and big Z is one of many showing the canucks are a deep, solid playoff team

Fucking game management by the NHL, no suspension for Hyman, who in the same altercation opened up Zaddy with a crosscheck, they give Soucy a game suspension, and of course no penalty for Mccrybaby who two hands Soucy. Look out Edmonton, next game you are getting rocked.

slowly becoming my new favourite player, especially after the hit on kane was fcking hilarious!🤣

I like how the refs decided to call cross checking penalties but only in the 3rd period. Morons.

Youre right on the money 😉 except for 7 games

Zadorov has been good though being in his decisive contact year he’s pushing himself to the limit of being effective 3-4D while playing 20 minutes of ice time. It’s not sustainable if you ask me. He’s probably gonna revert to his Chicago version of himself once he secures a good contract. Maybe embracing him to a leadership role could help with that I dunno.

As an oiler fan. Im pissed leaf didnt pick him up. Great playoff player and all around.

FR though, oilers fans arent complaining.. canucks fans cant cope.. they arent familiar with playoff hockey

5000 $ is like 5 $ in peoples money 😂😂

Zadorov is definitely the best pickup of the season

Edmonton made the classic mistake of celebrating before they got away with what they did. If they'd just played it cool I highly doubt the refs would've given them a bench minor, but they made it so painfully obvious that they'd done something wrong that no ref was going to let it slide.

that’s a joke he shouldn’t have been fined…if soucy gets a suspension that’s an nhl is rigged moment. Oilers been doing shit like that all series and canucks get the fines 🤣

Name a player that left Calgary and DIDN’T play better. I’ll wait.

this series > Leafs Bruins series So fun to watch!

7??? NOOOOO!!! If it takes 7 for either team it’s gonna take a bite out of their stamina in later rounds. I honestly believe that the Canucks not finishing off Chicago until game 7 back in 2011 after going up 3-0 , destroyed them by the time they got through to the bruins. Who basically mugged them for the cup (in a good ol fashioned hockey way). They had no physical answer left for the Bruins and it cost them. Just my thoughts on this cup run for the Canucks. If the Oil win I’ll care for 5 minutes the Cup is back at home. Then the oilers can go back to hell hahahahaha. I LOVE HOCKEY!!

fml. loved this guy on Calgary.

Thee Big Z is Laying The Smackith Down on the oilers

these refs need to be fired

as a flames fan. im heartbroken we lost these two players. but im glad to see theyre doing well in van. just beat the oilers please, carry that B.O.A vibes against the oilers

Edmonton is once again showing what happens when they encounter the SLIGHTEST push back when it comes to winning games . IF Edmonton has any hoeps of winning this series they better get some scoring from supporting players . IF either team were to face say Dallas in the Conference finals , I'd like think the Canucks have a better chance to beat them .

Nobody talks about the slash by McDavid before he gets cross-checked

Corey Perry getting a penalty bench minor off this was some of the best officiating all playoffs

I wouldnt have an issue this series if the officials would stop with phantom calls and actually call real penalties. I myself as an Oilers fan know that Canucks fans will agree, the phantom calls on both sides are ruining the game.

Theyre both rentals arent they?

As a Canucks fan, I genuinely can’t decide if my new favourite player is Zadorov or Lindholm. God bless the Calgary Flames for trading them ❤😂

It beautiful how Canucks and Calgary merge into one when either doesn’t make the playoffs, we all want the same thing, the oilers to loose

I hate how inconsistent reffing is in the playoffs.

Seven? Skinner-Skinner, Chicken Dinner!

Sign Z and let Hronek walk if needed.

I'm happy for big Z liked him when he was a Avalanche I was bummed when he left

Sign the contract Big Boy!

PLEASE, PLEASE, GO SEVEN!

Even though Kane is from Vancouver I hate him with a passion. He smiled last game and it pissed me off, but it immediately went away once his team got a bench minor 🤣

There was no reason to penalize zadorov on the Kane hit. Kane should be suspended for his footwork tho.

And is McDavid getting a hearing for lumberjack chopping Soucy to start with? If not, what a fuckin’ joke. 🤦🏻

The thing I hate the most about this is Kane swinging his skate knowing full well the whereabouts of Zadorov's body.

Let's go canada bring home the cup

And Big Z Folded McDavid Up Like A Cheap Edmonton Dollarstore Map

Go Canucks Go

I still think the Canucks show the desire on all lines and will beat the Oilers. Sorry Edmonton, you have some of the best players in history, no doubt. But Edmonton doesn't have 12 forwards that can go to 5th gear. Vancouver does. If Edmonton wants to win, they have to have a team commitment. Rick Toccet seems to be able to reach every Canuck with every aspect. It "looks" like every Canuck wants to win, and only half the Oilers do. Now, I'm not in their shoes, that's just what it looks like to me. Obviously no one at this level wants to lose, I'm just not seeing that from the entirety of Edmonton.

Fine for bumping into McDavid but he can hit Hughes in the face with his stick and not even get 2 minutes….

You should make a video about the amount of diving Edmonton has done this playoffs

I'll take the trade of Soucy getting a suspension and Zadorov getting the fine. But what Zadorov did led to Mcdavid getting a cross check to the face. If Zadorov doesn't come in from behind then Mcdavid is getting hit in the chest and Soucy probably gets a fine. And of course the golden boy Mcdavid gets nothing for his 2 handed slash after the game is over truly baffling that has to be a $2500 fine at min

91 vs 91 lol

Trade deadline* acquisitions paying divided ends for Canucks in the playoffs

Anyone can score on Skinner. Trying to make Zadorov this elite sniper against the worst goalie in the league, is a bad take

While it has absolutely nothing to do with hockey, I respect that Zadorov is one of the only Russian players to speak out against the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Next argument better trade Hyman or zedorov

its a fucking joke that the NHL saw the nut shot on Höglander (that 100% was on purpose with intent to injure) and said nah not a fine not a suspension and then fines Zadorov for a crosscheck and Soucy is getting a hearing. Absolute fucking joke and IMO show a clear bias from player safety. Also McCrybaby started it all with the big 2 handed slash, ridiculous

I think canucks keeping big z

Everyone knows a complete hockey team needs a batshit Russian.

Sorry Canucks, no cap space, he’s just a rental 👍🏼

i dont see the edmonton penilty. if it was kane then kane would have served it. perry served it. someone else aparently did something but know one knows what.

Ngl Ian Cole needs to be talked about. The last games he has playing is disgusting. He needs to be traded or at least scratched. The last goal that Edmonton got in the OT win was horrible. He kept his stick on the ice in a position that the player could bank it off his stick and in.

I hope Soucy doesn't get the suspension, it was clearly unintentional to hit McDavid in the face, it was a result of poor timing from Z hitting him in the back. To add to that, it also would have Canucks fans fuming after the blantant spear from Game 2 didn't get any discipline nor will McDavid likely hear anything for his two handed slash to fire things up there after the buzzer. If Soucy gets punished, McDavid should too, likely to a lesser degree as the severity wasn't as agregious - but he also acted after the final whistle had gone so it's only fair.

I have been saying this for years, the problem is our front office. The actual team has been trying their best but if the best we get is Skinner we can't win much.
