[AslanRH]

Cheering for Zadorov!
The rest of the players can be good or bad, I don't really care.

edit: Pickard too if he starts

McDavid with 1 point in the last 2 games. Expecting a big night from him tonight.

Entertaining series so far, let's go!

 

[PuckG]

Ass is already clenched for this one.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Anybody's game, anybody's series. Both sides have to be feeling the pressure right now.

 

[TheNumber4]

Let’s see if Tochetts Jack Adam’s Award winning strategy of “just play better, stupid” works.

Are you saying that both sides are

Go Deranged Oreo Dolphins!

I am disappointed the title wasn’t Deranged Oreo Dolphins vs Powerplay Merchants

 

[Brookbank]

Game 5 going to be a big one.

Canucks got outplayed in the first 2 periods. They came back in the third and still lost.

Curious what the Canucks will do to change things up.

The Oilers have beat the Canucks one time in 8 games in regulation. And were mere seconds away from not even that.

Hopefully the better team wins (Oilers)

Is the better team the team who's won ONE game in regulation in 8 tries ? I'm afraid not.

 

[Czechboy]

I posted a pro Bouch article yesterday. So today I'll post an anti Oiler one. This feeds the narrative perfect. Vancouver is better at 5 on 5 and we are powerplay merchants.

Ftr... I regret nothing! Watching that powerplay is one of my favorite things in hockey in the last 20 years!

McBackcheck and no-Defensaitl vs Deranged Oreo Dolphins

 

[NeverForget06]

The Oilers have beat the Canucks one time in 8 games in regulation. And were mere seconds away from not even that.


Is the better team the team who's won ONE game in regulation in 8 tries ? I'm afraid not.

I mean even if the Oilers win the next two games that will only be 4 wins in 10 tries - so who is really the better team?? Canucks are the BEST and your math does not lie.

 

[Iggys Dome]

I predict an Oilers blowout

 

[StickShift]

Canucks making pretty significant roster adjustments ahead of tonight’s game:



Pettersson to wing
Lindholm as his center
Hoglander is back
Blueger reunited with Joshua and Garland
Podkolzin gets 4th line opportunity
PDG is back
Soucy back from suspension

Mikheyev benched

PeePee Mercs!

 

[KrisLetAngry]

The Oilers have beat the Canucks one time in 8 games in regulation. And were mere seconds away from not even that.

Last game Canucks were lucky the Oilers didn't score 4 or 5 goals in the first 2 periods.

I'm cheering for the Canucks but they got dominated.

4.5 million in the stands

 

[Wildcarder]

Finally? Haven't they been trying everything to get him going all playoffs? The man is guaranteed 11.6M annually for next 8yrs.. let him chill.

He's so chill, Sam Lafferty and Linus Karlsson on his wings couldn't even help him chill more!

 

[Rpenny]

the series is going 7

4.5 million in the stands

Jack Campbell says hi.

Hopefully Lindholm can help Petterson out of his funk.

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

I like the adjustments Tocchet is making, Pettersson gets capable linemates + less responsibility on wing, and Podkolzin gets into the lineup. I'm sure Podz will be hitting everything out there.

 

[bucks_oil]

I mean even if the Oilers win the next two games that will only be 4 wins in 10 tries - so who is really the better team?? Canucks are the BEST and your math does not lie.

Plus, if the Oilers do win, they'll probably just barely win... and almost lose!... AINEC, you know what I mean?

 

[MessierII]

I’m both excited and terrified all at the same time

I think it’s bad move breaking up the Linholm Joshua Garland line. That lines been giving the oilers fits.
