NHL Highlights | Canucks vs. Oilers - April 13, 2024 

Casey DeSmith with the comeback of his career. Sensational performance making I think 32/33 saves tonight. This was a STATEMENT win for Canucks, sweeping the Oilers and ensuring that all they need to do is win on Tuesday, and the Pacific Division is locked in! GO CANUCKS GO! Great game tonight in Edmonton.

Canucks are 4-0-0 against Oilers this season and 1 point away from clinching the pacific 🔥 Great game. DeSmith deserves some love!!

Millar just shoving the ref out of the way at 1:22 😂

Great game by DeSmith. Wasn't going to go quietly against Silovs. Love it.

John Shorthouse better be calling the playoff games

Desmith's best game of the season! He made some great saves! He deserves the victory.

Credit to DeSmith he stole that win for us! season series sweep too!

What a goalie pull from the Oilers lmao. This is the DeSmith the Canucks got the first 2 months of the season and this was arguably his best game in a while. Love how the team played tonight.

I figured the Oilers holding a grudge for the first 3 games would fuel them enough to steamroll us. I was honestly not expecting this.

When the Canucks come out to win, they win. I'm excited to see how far they go this year.

DeSmith just turned into prime Hasek for absolutely no reason

People are undervaluing Lindholms impact to the balancing of the lines and the PK. Team is going to be healthy going into playoffs!!

Yeah! A much needed good game from DeSmith.

DeSmith finally has restored my faith in him. Back and much better than he was in his last two games. Incredible goaltending action from him. And with that, we've season swept the Oilers 4-0-0!

Good goalie battle! Vancouver made us cry at the beginning of the season. Still had to prove a point at the end. If We meet in the playoffs, and if you beat us. You better bring that shiny thing home. No other team I would rather see do it.

Ohhhhhhh yeah, a big shout to Desmith awesome goaltending, reload, refocus, on to the next game, go Vancouver.

The canucks played tough, playoff hockey. Its exactly what we needed to see. They've stumbled since ASB and it was such a team effort. Desmith played amazing as well. Great win! This team could be dangerous if they play like this, especially with demmers back.

Fantastic game. Thanks to all of the people that put these videos together!

2 minutes in, and I'm thinking the shot tracker is off... 1 shot on goal before Mikheyev puts one on Skinner's crest and the count doesn't go up...

Close game, we could have won but DeSmith was a wall, respect. I want that division title but I am not too mad about it lol so long as the Canadian teams are on top!

Now THAT is some playoff-style hockey. Refs let 'em play with no bullshit calls, and both teams went at it like it was post season already.

BEAUTIFUL!

Молодцы Ванкувер, смогли показать достойную игру после невнятной серии неудач.

This is the best 60 minute game Canucks have played in months 😁👍

Ванкувер , с победой, браво!!!

Great game Desmith! Go Canucks Go!

Without McDavid the Oilers are half that good

Love my team, keep it up Canucks

Some playoff-tier hockey. I love it.

Hughes was so great defensively this game. Especially in that first period. People really underrate his defence still, it's insane.

I’m also happy McDavid’s 100th assist wasn’t against us. Feels weird.

That Oilers goal was very close to a high stick if you ask me…

Супер убойная игра терминаторов ! ! ! ❤❤❤🙂😀😋😎

Solid game by Desmith!

This was a pretty important win for the Canucks. Really the difference between any of the top teams is discipline and psychology. This just puts a lot more doubt in the heads of the Oiler players. If we meet them in the playoffs it could be huge.

What happened to draisaitl and Hyman? I thought they were powerhouses in the team. Are they really that normal without mcdavid driving the plays 🧐

Big game. Big win. 💪

I ran out fingers on how many times we were reminded that Connie McRainbow wasn't playing. I counted on two fingers that Demko wasn't playing.

Ok Casey Desmith definitely got the Nucks the dub 👏👏👏

DeSmith!!!! Great game,

I watched the whole game. DeSmith was excellent - very intelligent in his post -game interview. Canucks had active and relentless forecheck, not allowing much time to the opponent players. Sometime at 2:0 and especially at 2:1 close to the end of the game, they dumped the puck and allowed Edmonton to make plays. This is not a strategy of a dominant team

Great performance by Casey DeSmith

That Oilers goal was totally high-sticked.

Let's go boys!!

I’m not a fan of these commentators.

Go nucks go Sincerely: flames fan

Без Макдэвида Эдмонтон вполне заурядная, средненькая команда.

Shows how much Oilers depend on McD. When he's not in the lineup, trouble begins. Just like at the beginning of this season, Oilers weaknesses were totally exposed when McD and Leon did not play out of their minds. Weird, they are a great team, but...

It dont matter now.! ."The big Bad Boggie man" has been toppled...Canucks two games left will relax and play into the 2024 STANLEY CUP PLAYOFFS! We've been waiting boys

For Canucks fans it was way less nerve wracking to hold on to that lead without McDavid in the opposing lineup.

YAS!!!!

were was the 11.6 million dollar man? again? good thing the rest of the team showed up. great game from DeSmith.

Oilers only ever held a one goal lead all season vs. Canucks Didn't see that happening

Great goaltending on both sides!!

Canucks are solid in net! Heads up getting DeSmith.

Was hoping Quinn would get 3 points this tonight on his way to 100 points. I didn’t realize he has more points that Elias.

The road to the cup is more important than games like this now for the Oilers.

OUCH!!!!

Crazy that both super stars weren't in the game tonight. No McDavid and an invisible Pettersson.

Remember who your daddy’s are.

Important win

That was a great slap pass by Myers onto Suter's stick....and how about Zadorov just steamrolling that guy.....

👏👏👏👏👏👏 Go Canucks

С победой косатушки 🎉🎉🎉

One of the greatest wins in Canucks history. They actually play better counterpunching & absorbing pressure. DeSmith was great. Considering how well Edmonton had been playing I thought they would give more of an effort, but the absence of 97 was too much to overcome. Still a very impressive road win against arguably the best team in the league.

Kick rocks Edmonton see you in the playoffs.

Go canucks

The Oilers can break you down defencively. Van never lost its composure last night. That’s what you need in the post season.

I wish they showed the penalty that lead to the power play

Игра не далась легко Ванкуверу. ДеСмит хорош в этой игре. Второй гол Косаток - просто красота, сыграно как по нотам. Ванкувер вперед и только вперед за кубком!!!!

the biggest regular game of the regular season for both teams, but the nucks came out victorious in the end... too bad mcjesus was not cleared to play tonight....

Enter the "twilight zone" fans in Edmonton cheering the Vancouver Canucks every time they score .......

Canucks very lucky in the 1st to not get a goal. on the other side canucks brutally efficient. good game

Go Canucks Go

DeSmith stole that one.

Oilers are first round exits without mcdavid

Casey DeSmith and the Vancouver Canucks win over Leon Draisaitl and the Edmonton Oilers 3-1 in their final meeting of the Pacific Division rivalry 🏒🔵⚪🟢🇨🇦 Vancouver Canucks improve to 49-22-9, while the Edmonton Oilers move to 48-25-6

Just what the Dr ordered!

I think that second goal was offside.

Things I liked and didn't. like. The start wasn't great. Not surprising as you knew the Oil were going to come out flying. They did OK settling the game down but a few too many good chances from the Oil in the first 10. I liked the way the canucks slowly wrestled control of the game away from the Oilers. After that first 10 you could feel the shift in play. The Oil started to get fewer and fewer decent chances and the canucks basically had them going where they wanted to. By the mid way point I pretty much felt the game was the Canucks so long as no melt downs or lucky bounces. I loved DeSmith's rebound control. Just excellent. The Oil didn't get very many second chances. I don't like the canucks judgement that much right now compared to earlier in the year. They're still trying to force some passes in situations where they should be looking for the obvious clear. Too many times in this game they were trying for the perfect out and just turned it over without relieving the pressure. I like that they've been a pretty great team this season at being patient, and I don't want them to stop trying to maintain possession, but it's still a balance and sometimes you just gotta clear. They had a better sense of it earlier on and need to find that again. I did like that when they made those mistakes though, especially near the end of the game, they really really did a good job of not giving the Oil any good looks. It really looked by the third that even the Oilers knew they weren't winning this game. Overall a very very solid but not great game. Still a fair bit to clean up. But it's fantastic to win this and the psychological effects of sweeping this team could be huge if we happen to meet again in the playoffs. All these teams are basically even so it really comes down to discipline and psychology. And the most important thing....luck. The NHL is basically a pinball lucky league now and nobody wins a cup without a lot of lucky bounces. It's unfortunate but that's the way the game has evolved because of the cap.

Where is McDavid and Hyman??

So no highlights between 15:00 and 2:00 (give or take) of the 3rd period?

Задоров чемпион!

Ugh... I really wanted the Kings to draw Vancouver in the first round :(

Oiler goal was a high stick

Kane 👍

Should have kept McDavid on the bench as backup... would have come in handy in the third period

Canucks putting oilers back in slump mode now, and Van getting hot again with Demko coming back.

Ça me fait de la peine de ne pas voir Connor Mcdavid.

When they lost to the Coyotes, it was a bummer. But I’ll take wins against Colorado, Vegas, Edmonton, etc any day.

Go Oilers🇨🇦 Go. Fan of Edmonton Oilers and Ottawa Senators- Canadian cities starting with vowels. Waiting to see Edmonton Oilers defeat San Jose, Arizona and Colorado Avalanche next.

What a Great Win!!! All we need is 1pt or Oilers OT loss or loss to Capture the Pacific Div. Baby!!

Recap of another important loss in the game: Corey Perry "great game"🤪 only (-3) with 3 goals allowed by the Oilers, Leon Draisaitl (-1) with a 44,4% FO% in this game, he lost all important faceoffs and not able to handle the puck well when played 5 on 4. Dry is definitely NOT McDavid. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins (a solid ZERO!) 😝with a FO% of 25% for the game, lost all important faceoffs, Bouchard (-1) as usual having problems handling the puck and defending in the Oilers zone, Ryan McLeod (-2 ) simply bad game, $9 million Nurse (- 1) is overpaid by 3 times 🤑and should take salary cut ASAP! Let's go mediocre Oilers ))🤪and Knoblauch ( garlic ) still tells " good stories" to the media 😜Bench lazy # 2 ASAP !

That whole sequence from 3:44 was embarrassing to watch from both teams.

Not surprised. Seems the Oil have no interest in 1st. Definitely need some passing drills. Nucks have a couple decent goalies, see how they do against the Preds, we'll deal with the Kings... Again.

Droopsaital + Hypeman - McDavid = 2 Bums

Where’s Mcdavid?

There’s nothing more satisfying than watching the Oilers lose.

It's official; 2023-24 nucks have owned oils!

Hyman and Driz are silent. Without MacDavid Edmont, the team is quite average. Let's see how they will perform in the playoffs.
