Hronek seemed to kill a lot of plays as well.

The Canucks started to become really predictable and played a lot of dump and chase. I get that you don't want to play pond hockey with the Oilers and trade chances, especially with a 3rd strong goalie in net, but I do they need to be a little more creative.

A lot missed penalty calls on the Oilers too. They should have received a double minor for highsticking Hughes. Kane should have had at least a minor for that slew foot, plus many more.

Lol. Neither one of these teams are getting past Colorado/Dallas. I wouldn't worry about it.

[dino7c]

double pinch with McDavid on the ice when you had a one goal lead was pretty friggin' stupid

#### both these teams!

Actually they are. I lived in that dump.

It was important for the canucks to get two home wins. They just disappeared in the third. The No-Good trashbag oilers are going to be extra-hyped by their stained sweatpants wearing fans at home, they'll win game 3 for sure. Poor game by the canucks tonight... again, where is this Pacific Division winning team that were so hyped? Where are hughes and boeser? Zadorov seems to be leading their offense...
Stars/Avs very likely going to seven games, both teams will be worn down. Need the canucks to at least drag this series out and let McP*ssy play 25 minutes every game.

Agreed. The Oilers will get more powerplays on home ice too. I feel the momentum is with them now. But if Vancouver had won tonight it would have been panic in Edmonton.

Holy christ he's been awful. That's three goals he has directly caused.

And now the Vangcouver CaLosers will live up to their name.

[EDMONTONisNG]

Lol get a grip. Oilers barely win one game and the whole forum thinks they are going to win the series.

[Whynotnow]

Weird series so far. Not sure either team has really deserved the win they got and the hockey has been pretty meh. Some lucky breaks, missed calls and bad plays on both sides.

[Igottago]

Skinner is absolutely terrible though. The Canucks would be wise to pepper him with more shots. He seems like he's ready to give up bad angle goals regularly.

Both goalies are bad. Its the battle of who is more bad.

[Southside403]

Zadorov has been good feeding grease some good punishment.

The whole forum thought VANGcouver would win the series after the first game. McLotteryBall and Draidiver looked better today, and the best thing is that the referees aren't going to be able to handle the pressure from the - shall we say, - faithful.

Series is tied, and they are on the way to a cup? Jeebus!

At least they didn't call the Myers hit on the oiler player (Janmark?) later, that could have been boarding on Myers. Some degree of evening it up.

The non-call on the high stick from McDiver was absolutely brutal. Imagine if poor Connor was bleeding from a high stick? They might have called a major for intent to injure. If I were Tocchet I'd raise hell and take the fine.
