Defs Nurse. He's the sole reason for 3rd goal. Coulda done an easy dump down the middle out of the zone but decided to try a bank off the glass with 2 players there. Stays in, then 5 seconds later goal.
It's only ONE game. Let's learn from the mistakes, especially USING THE TIMEOUT, and come out flying Game 2. Let's Go Oilers! You've still got this. And, Skinner, seriously get your head in the game and keep it there!
Hey Kris, please ensure the team to grind full 60 mins at very least! Please adjust the team after Canucks shut team firepower down in 3rd period. G1 loss like this sucks…But ensure the team can learn from it! 4-1 lead is awesome but not enough! Timeout in hand can be useful! Do something when team get lost! LFG Oilers!
Things not going our way?..No your offense providing 8 shots total through 2 periods and Skinner shitting the bed was the main issue...He should have pulled Skinner earlier and he also should have slowed down the Nucks momentum by utilizing the time-outs..Bad coaching helped fuel this loss as much as the Oils lackluster play.
To be fair, this is his first NHL season and playoffs. But the other 3 coaches should be advising him on strategy. Especially, not to repeat the strategy that had us lose to Vegas last year.
I love how your team just stopped playing hockey after they were up 4-1. Where does that influence come from? I think you guys need to stop trying to reinvent the wheel. This is on Connor too
Classic Oiler mental breakdown and complacency thinking they had this one. Serves them right for only playing half a game. Nurse was back to old form again. Pathetic defensive play on ice for 4 goals against. He needs some time on the bench.
I despise the player. He’s up the ice too much and when he does get a chance to shoot he throws muffins. When it come to D, he’s a joke, always out of position on important goals.
@@aaronst.pierre3080 And we are basically stuck with him until 2030...Ken Nichols should be horsewhipped for his perpetually bad squandering of money on several Oilers
No timeout in the third, 1 shot in 22 minutes, you should be attacking more to get penalties to get power play chances. 5 goals against 5v5 means you're sitting back way too much. 14 shots in 59 minutes wont win you hockey games. Need to be way more aggressive. They played good defensively and forgot about the rest of the game and obviously you have a 3 goal lead and you want to control the game but you could just bury the opposition too with puck possession and offensive zone time which is the Oilers main strength. And the thing they did none of in the third. Stu made 2 nice saves and had 3 bad goals. But we move on to Game 2 and hopefully a much better effort from a lot of players here in the future.
For all the talk pre series about the oilers being the older mature experienced team, it sure didn’t look like it last night. I hope the boys learn from the one and come back strong.
A good team my a$$. They hold, trip, x-check, etc. (worse than LA did) and they don't get called. Shows me they're a team that can't skate with the Oil and have to win by other means.
@@monicaarisman4293 well top in their division so, yeah. Leading Oilers so yes again. We are 5-0 but ok. 2011 Bruins Canucks- we were president trophy winners. Alain Vinault had this team skating clean and smooth and we got destroyed by a blue collar Bruins team . Canucks have learned a thing or two. Nashville would have also killed us if we didnt adapt and hit back. You do what it takes to adapt to a team that you need to stop . Oilers have some super star players but like leafs they aren’t a cohesive team unit . I wish both teams the very best . Hey , it’ll be a great series. Cheers . 🍻
@@Chaosart11 um ok so by that same analogy oilers did nothing in the regular season either. That makes no sense and you’re believing the hype . Habits are formed during regular season. Best of luck to both teams. It’s going to be a great series . Cheers 🍻
@@lbhorschler8068 How anyone with lick of reason said let’s rerun this goalie pairing again after the goalie nightmare that was last playoffs is unreal. Honestly should be criminal negligence.
Okey,canucks is a strong defensive team a little bit of offense. We are strong offensive team, and a little bit of defense. Why don’t we use our strength .. coz they can’t defend if they can’t score.
Its ok Coach, the NHL has a very steep and unforgiving Learning Curve , you will appreciate it more in a few years from now when you are an experienced NHL Head Coach. Right now just know your bosses knew the Odds and Stakes when they laid down their chips on the betting table. Just relax and have fun with it.
Lazy, embarrassing, pathetic, disgusting, disrespectful, running out of words to discribe this teams effort. Bench nurse and ceci and play broberg and stetcher, its literally impossible for them to be worse. And in the offseason, get a real goalie.
Edm will be okay. Edm much more calmer group now. They . Not don't get too high after a win or too low after a loss . That is a sign of a mature team . Hard to teach. Usually thru experience and the pain. Even Bob stauffer said it the officials came to him in the kings series and said edm bench is so calm. That is a good team . Hard to teach that calmness. Think like an assassin not too high or too low. Why they r so good at their jobs. They don't get too emotional Lol . Make some adjustments n make van defend more. Will be a tight series 6/7 games . Takes zero shots for a comeback got to passive. . Likely not going to happen again to go 20 mins without a shot. Expect edm to be better next game. Stay even keel.
@@Nickh4929 I never talked about 5. Vancouver is a good team. They finished first for a reason. It will be tight good series. Both teams are good. But the chance of a team like edm going 23 mins without a shot is pretty low n next to no pressure from here on out.that is something the Canucks know from the series coming on out . There will be pressure coming when up n forcing Vancover to defend more . It will be a tight series than what the media put it to be. I expect van to be better but I expect edm to be better after this experience if given a chance to be up.
@@user-gc6iv3zp7z All it takes for Tocchet and his team to learn the Oilers now, they are on top of McDavid already which is nuts, good plays, Silovs not with it the first 2 periods, but the 3rd the team gained that momentum.
Bench Nurse and Cece, and insert Broberg n Stecher. I dont think those two wouldve surrendered 4 goals. Vinny needs to be physical especially on their stars. if he's not he's useless. He needs to use his size, look at Zadorov, he laid some big hits, one was on Kane, Vinny heeds to do the same. And if he's not gonna block the shot, and all of our D for that mater...GET THE HECK OUT OF THE WAY!!! Don't screen your goalie!
Yes Knoblauch skinner played some good hockey down the stretch. I agree. UNFORTUNATELY his track record in the playoffs is very poor. Last year he was pulled in 3 consecutive games !! Until he has a deep playoff run of good goaltending he will continue to make oiler fans very nervous. 2 - 3 goals last night were horrible. Particularly Garland goal. That CAN'T go in. Also 6 shots over 2 periods ?! Simply pathetic.
The Oilers have a lot of "passengers", a mediocre goalie😂 and a lazy $9 million Nurse🤑 who should play in the AHL. The Oilers coach has no balls and the GM instead of bringing in 1-2 top 6 players traded for 3 mediocre players who don't even play! McDavid with Hyman and Dri can't win this series alone.😇
One bad period and you wanna bench skinner? Are u dumb or stupid? Wjat did he do last series after a bad game? Got a shutout. No way am i trusting pickard or campbell 😂
@@michaelmcgrath8005 yea no problem. Pay me millions of dollars I'll learn w.e. it takes and I'll call a timeout, give the players a good pep talk after that Miller goal. Bro coaching isn't that hard especially with a team like edmonton.
@reddeadjuju "Coaching isn't that hard." Do you have any coaching experience? I'm sure it's INCREDIBLY easy to become an NHL Head Coach, let alone coach a team all the way to a Stanley Cup championship...
