Booch getting all the credit, and thank god for the goal but Kane and Drai made that play happen with huge efforts and once again Drai involved in saving the game.

Really poor game by McD tonight. Possibly his worst playoff game ever. Gotta be better than this. So many misplays by McD in this game and then on tying goal. he has time to get to the point to break up puck at line, he hangs back, and Nucks score. need to defend more aggressively there, it isn't a pk, you have 5 players on ice.

Drai also guilty on the first goal, Garland.

Gotta be better in critical times of games. Oilers still fumble at worst possible moments but we got the W while making it much harder than it had to be.

With Skinner this would've been guaranteed loss. Pickard saved this giving us at least a good goalie performance. First time in the series we can say that.
Seems we lose every key faceoff in big moments and it bites them

He did make a great pass on the first goal. The Oilers are leaning too heavily on McDavid and Draisaitl. At least RNH and Kane contributed today. Would be good if at least Foegele, Perry and Mcleod chipped an odd goal here or there.
