Canucks Eliminated: PLAYOFF POST-GAME - Oilers vs. Canucks (Round 2, Game 7) 

They need a power play specialist coach in the off-season.

I agree. I don't think Skinner will be good enough to get by Dallas. Really looking forward to a possible Demko and Silvos tandem in net next year, that could be amazing.

You should have stopped at the better team.

​@@PrimeSportsNetworkthey were the better tteam. Look at their 3rd and 4th lines. Not the best or youngest talent. They okayed better together then the Canucks 3rd snd 4th lines. Oilers defense was bugger then we are although it waa close. They outlasted the canucks. While the canucks defense wssnt the problem at all. Oilers got way more goals then canucks from defense

100% one more scoring winger would have been a huge difference

Yes and no - I think your team was gassed, especially Miller. For all the bravado and the "McDavid is a baby" and "McDavid is a diver" I'd like, no love, to see FIVE of you Canuck fans who say that lace up skates and try to stay with him for 7 games (all on the ice at the same time). Heck, 7 games you wouldn't last 7 minutes before you'd be doubled over gasping for air. Oiler (as has been said many times) have been through this grind for THREE consecutive years (only team to reach the top 8 three years in a row) - they know what it's like and what it takes to win a series. Vcr is now starting to learn that themselves. They basically blew their load in game 5 and barely won it (last minute goal) and that was it. That game (5) told me then (go look up my other posts) that as long as Skinner didn't crap the bed this series was over. Canucks are a very well coached and good team though but they aren't there yet. GO OILERS!

Two 'so- called' superstars? Really? Wow, just wow. So tell me who are the stars in the league? Or are Drai and McD just flukes who were the fastest players ever in the history of the NHL to reach 90 points in the playoffs (56 games) not named Gretzky or Lemieux. That includes players like Bossy, Messier, Kurri, Trottier, Crosby and Ovechkin - you know - those 'so-called' superstars. Guess not everyone can be as 'super' as Petersson eh lmao - what an asinine comment

@KptKrunch9481 Two superstars should have manhandled the Canucks, shouldn't they? But they barely won, except for game 6. This is the problem with the Oilers. They think they deserve to win because of those two players. They will be thrashed by Dallas though.

@@original_poster💯 I’d say that was embarrassing for the Oilers! They barely got out of the second round playing a team without their franchise goalie and their top sniper in game 7!

@@original_poster Oilers had the flu and I guess Canucks are a two man brutal team too then huh? Based on your comments they are anyway. And I guess you didn't watch the game, you certainly don't understand human nature. Oilers OWNED the Canucks last two game, they couldn't do anything - until Ryan Mcleod made a horrendous mistake. Human nature - Canucks all of a sudden got a massive shot of something called ADRENALINE (look it up). You see it in ALL sports ALL the time. Ever watch a Basketball game? You should try sometime - i.e. defending champs Denver had a 20 point lead on Minnesota at home on game 7 - who won? Oilers don't have a problem bud, you do lol

@@blissstated Yep - and Dallas got beat by Colorado without one of their top dmen (Toews) and missing their top goal scorer (Nichuskin) on home ice - how embarrassing is that? You realize the BEST players in hockey rarely play more than a 1/3rd of the time right? It's a team game. And oh, Vcr had home ice and won the division - yep pretty bad team, how embarrassing. I wonder how the Preds feel - those guys must be jumping off of bridges

Watch the games and you’ll realize there are serious flaws to Tocchets system. This was a very winnable series.

@@Starrynova The time to rip Tocchet is 2-3 years from now if the team can't advance past the second round. Not after a season and a series nobody expected the Canucks to succeed in, especially without their two best players in Game 7. I'm not saying his system doesn't have flaws or his coaching could not have been different or better, just that now is not the time. These players don't know how to win a championship yet. It's part of the growth. And part of the problem with the media, is they were expecting too much, even with Brock out. I've been a fan for 50 years and have learned when our team is outmatched or not. All the wishing and hope doesn't change that. Cinderella comes around once in a lifetime. Now comes the fun part. Continue to build this team and grow the prospects so in 2-3 years they can win a title when they will no longer be overmatched.

Having generational talent definitely helps getting championships

The NHL also gifted EDM 3 first overall picks in the modern era.

The Oiler have had FOUR first overall picks in the last 14 years. Edmonton has had 2 generational players. They've wasted Mcdavid for almost 10 years

@@user-me8vc8ln6nAlso the 80s with probably 4 generational talents

How many first overall picks have the Oilers had?

Hope you're being facetious. You haven't made the playoffs since the COVID play-in. You do realize this is a process, right? All the teams that win the Cup nowadays have to suffer YEARS of failure before they get it - ALL of them. Teams that miraculously get to the finals out of nowhere end up tanking the next year. Canucks had a solid run with a 3rd string goalie - they are on the right track BUT can they re-sign Zadorov or Lindholm? That's the real question.
