Gotta feel bad for Silovs. The kid played as well as you could ask from a 23-year-old 3rd string goalie.
Wouldn't feel to bad for him his play has ensured he will get a nhl shot and millions of dollars
he wont be a 3rd string next season.
Well if we move him or Demko to say Colorado, we better get a Rantanen or Lehkonen in return. Obviously Canucks need more offense.
Like the other person said before me: He's going to get a good shot in the NHL after his showing in these playoffs. Hoping for the best for him as an Oilers fan!!
That nuge goal was such bad positioning though.
Canucks fans with a loud standing ovation at the end of the game and chanting Silovs! And Go Canucks Go! Was truly a touching moment. I even saw Miller trying to hold back his tears. Words can’t describe how proud I’am of this team.
As a diehard rangers fan that was a great season for Vancouver
@@jon-pauljeandron4439 Thanks. I was hoping for a Rangers vs Canucks finals, but oh well. Good luck against the Panthers.
Thank you for the awesome series! This team has a bright future! Till next time - Oiler fan
What a cringe comment
@@s.w9935 someday you’ll grow out of this kind of sentiment lol
Silovs did everything except score goals. He did well for a third string goalie... really damn well.
He’s a starter on any NHL team IMO. Excellent goaltender.
@@oilersridersbluejays He sure is now!! I saw him play live a few months back and saw signs of potential but very loose at times. Prior to these playoffs I would have guessed he was a year or two off still. Very happy to be wrong about this guy. He was amazing.
@@ExplodingHaggis definitely gets the full time backup role next year. now they need to find an experienced 3G. desmith isn't coming back.
So you won’t be surprised when Edmonton hoists the cup this year?
@@TwoSmoker420 if it’s a red solo cup, maybe.
I’m a diehard Oilers but one of first thoughts I had after the game was how bad I felt for THG
My thoughts too. Me and my fellow Oilers fans I was swilling beer with mentioned that right away.
Same here Elijah. But Vancouver will be back. They have a lot of great young talent.
Me too!…sorry Shannon…next year!
same. as much as i may not like the canucks, part of me wouldn't have been mad if they beat us because at least THG would be stoked.
Now imagine the Oilers beat the Stars, they'll have kicked out 2 of his teams 💀
the one guy on the Canucks that really impressed me this playoff was Connor Garland. That guy leaves it all out there and plays like he's 6'2" - 210lbs. Never backs down.
I agree…he’s definitely a force!
Turns out something good came from that trade after all lol
He was one of my favourite players, even before we picked him up. No surprise that he performed in clutch situations. Such a hard worker
he reminds me of cogliano
He and Silovs were the only ones that showed up this game. JT Miller was a ghost.
Canucks 4 minute PP says it all. The Oilers wanted it more.
Definitely turning point of the game
True. The Oilers had the best scoring chance in that double minor.
Canucks looked tired
@my3dviews brownie will always have my best laughs if this season Im sure..but he wasted a few extra seconds on pk even if he didnt score..he was a beast on the forecheck and pk..him, nuge, mcleod, ryan, foegele and janmark❤
There’s only so many times you can rely on coming back at the end of the game. Canucks did that better than any team I’ve seen. What a series. Super proud of them this year.
Compared to last year when they gave up more leads than anyone else? What an impressive turnaround. This team has a bright future. They’re gonna be just fine.
Try 56 years of losing
I've never been a fan of Edmonton taking their foot off the gas.
They don't have the goaltending to turtle reliably and it visibly shakes the team watching the goals start to pour in.
@@HappyTurtleTurtle They were doing okay until the horrible giveaway that led to the first Canuck goal. After that it was all Canucks and the Oilers were lucky to hold onto the win.
How the hell can you be proud of the Canucks for 0 shots on a 4 min PP to start the game and 0 shots on a 3 min man advantage to end the game??
That has to be in record time! Shannon, you doing it okay?
Everyone grieves in their own way
I think he knew they wouldnt make it to the finals, even though he definitely wanted them to face dallas. There's a reason why his tone has seemed more invested in the Stars than boston or canucks and it's because they have the best shot of the teams he roots for.
He wanted to go to bed
@@Crimsonfangg I never thought of it that way but you’re totally right. Dallas has a real shot at it this year and that’s why Shannon has been so animated with their reviews specifically (which have been my favorite reviews these playoffs 😂)
He made this video yesterday. We have seen this untold times. its sad.
You're a true professional and a good fan. Thank you for your work!
hes in van wearing a mcdavid jersey he is never getting a tsn or sportsnet gig here lmao
Thank you for your always balanced coverage! You’re a credit to the sport.
@@billstrandt3365no need anyways. Shannon’s coverage is the best.
@@billstrandt3365 he doesn't need one. Only simps like you think a jersey takes away credibility.
Meet Bill. He doesn't understand that I run a hockey channel, not a Canucks channel. Bill also doesn't understand I have never and will never wanta a "gig" with a national sports media company that has shown over the years they'll fire people without warning and for no reason.
Congrats to Oilers winning. I'm really sad and frustrated right now though. The way the Canucks played in game 6 and the first 2 periods of Game 7 felt like a slap in the face.
They played very well given the pre-season expectations of them. I knew they would be a tough out and I honestly didn’t think Edmonton would beat them.
At least they scored unlike in 2011 that made me more mad they didn't try.
I think they were just gassed. A lot of them had never been this far into the post-season. This was a learning and growth year.
@@RC30018 Most games in 2011 drove me nuts, losing by 4+ goals several times is unforgivable
Canucks will be better. The WCF should be interesting, good series for sure
Shannon:
I’m a Boston fan, so for a lot of my life the Canucks were either just another hockey team I hardly ever watched, or (for a couple weeks in 2011) my sworn enemy. Then I found this channel and grew a massive soft spot for them thanks to you. So I just want to thank you for all that you do on this channel, hopefully that at least makes you feel a little bit better tonight.
I know you’ve said you don’t think the Canucks will win a Cup in your lifetime, but I still believe they will, because I believe that good things should happen to good people, and for all the entertainment you’ve given to me & 300k+ other people, you deserve it. You’ll never get me to like the 2011 Canucks 😂, but I was rooting for the comeback tonight
Fellow Boston fan, I couldn't have put it better myself
Canucks have a bright future, they very well may win with this current iteration. Anyone who says otherwise isn't paying attention.
I'll be honest, if it weren't for Marchand, I would no longer hate the Bruins
Im a wings fan and I know he doesnt love the wings but after you said this I now want canucks to win one in this mans lifetime, he deserves it for sure!
You can’t be a real Boston fan it’s not mathematically possible for them to be nice/ good people
Could hear the applause for the Canucks at the end on the radio feed and that was a cool moment.
The Canuck fans seemed to take the loss with class. No booing or throwing stuff on the ice, a lot of cheering and respect for what their team did this year. 🧡💙
GG to the Oilers. What a turnaround for the nucks this season compared to the last. It's too bad it felt like they really only showed up for maybe 15min out of 120min in the last 2 games.
That's what bothers me the most. It felt like we just gave it to them.
Let's not kid ourselves. Oilers started to sit back and we all know what happens when you do that. If they kept attacking it would've been same outcome as game 6.
@@cbzblaze2457agreed, both goals were Edmontons fault. McLeod handed Garland the first goal and Bouchard had tons of time to not ice the puck leading to goal 2. Vancouver is a great team this year with a big future, but they only hung on because Edmonton was making mistakes. I’m an Avs fan, so not looking at this as a fan of either team, but Edmonton was clearly the better team. We will see what the future holds.
Yeah not doing enough at all in those last 2 games
For it being the first attempt under Alvine and Tochett, this was an excellent showing by Vancouver and their fans should be proud of this season.
Agreed.
Absolutely. Skies the limit for this Canucks squad
Would be amazing if they did a sign and trade with horenk
What an unbelievable series. I am a diehard Oilers guy, but all respect to the Canucks, they battled and never rolled over at any point in this series. Silovs was incredible in this game, they have something in this kid, this could have been ugly but Arturs really kept them in it with a few insane 5 alarm saves. As far as the Power Play goes, I think losing Boeser really hurt them in that area, all three of their Power Play goals in the series ran through him. The last minute heroics of this team are unlike any I have ever seen really, super well structured and opportunistic.
However, serious credit to the Oilers for battling and defending extremely well in the last 4:30ish with the game in the balance and not folding after having played such a fine defensive game up to that point. For a brief moment, a 2013 Leafs level collapse was on the table. McDavid wasn't even on the score sheet tonight either, Edmonton rolled all four lines and had success with them all on the forecheck, super proud of this group. Also, credit to Knoblauch for pushing all the right buttons Woodcroft didn't last year, an unbelievably ballsy and poised coach with some of the decisions he made at the right times in this series. Edmonton showed some serious resilience with this series comeback, says a lot about the group. Also, shoutout to RNH, who continues to not get enough love, so awesome that the Burnaby kid ends up with the winner in this series.
The Canucks have lots of good pieces, this isn't the last serious tilt we see between these two clubs I think! Props to you Shannon for always staying even keel and providing great content to watch even when your team loses, you are actually the best.
I'm older than you and thought I'd never see the Blues win a Cup then 2019 happened keep the faith. Despite my avatar I've been a Blues fan longer than a Pens fan
I'm so proud of this team, man. Like most Canucks fans I thought this year was going to be another season of mediocrity, but the players completely changed thier mindset. They did the things they didn't do in previous years. They were disciplined, played well defensively, and won the little battles you need to win to win hockey games. I had so much fun watching this team this year, and while it hurts to have it end this way, I'm so proud of our players and our coaches. Now its about learning from this experience and building upon it next year. Hopefully, Petey heals from whatever has been ailing him these past few months, and Brock fully recovers as well. I definitely want Zadorov and Lindy back for another year, too. I know it's a tough way to have our season end, but I hope Shannon's as optimistic as I am.
Hell of a run Canucks. We had some magic going right at the end there, and I'm really glad for that. Really raised the spirits in Rogers Arena
Oilers fan here. While im elated our boys won, If im a Canucks fan, youve got a bright future ahead if the right management decisions are made over the next 2-5 seasons
“IF” the right moves are made. One thing I hope they don’t do is stand pat. They have to make some tweaks for sure.
Vancouver looks in better shape than I figured. They had a helluva run and I don’t expect less from them next season.
Your right I'm glad the Canucks had the season they had this year I'm sad that didn't beat the Oilers tonight but I'll take it over last three years to seven years of mediocrity brought on by Jim Benning.
Great season by the Canucks! Sorry you didn't get your dream matchup Shannon
_"and so, the Cardiac Canucks exited the 2024 playoffs the same way they entered..._
_by giving all of their fans one final, parting series of heart palpitations late in the 3rd period."_
This was the most fun i've had following a hockey team* in the playoffs in literally years.
Congrats on an incredible bounce-back season, Vancouver! GGs, and go Dallas
*that wasn't my Calgary Flames
Screw Calgary.
Too bad you guys don’t get to enjoy your team in the playoffs and have to resort to cheering against the Oilers!
Otto kicked it in
@@aceshighnick😂😂😂
Some of the blocks that Draisaitl made really saved the team at certain points of this game.
I don't think Draisaitl gets enough credit.
If we win the cup drai will be the con smythe winner for sure!
He received a great deal of criticism of his poor defensive play last year until we found out that he was playing on one leg.
@@dianedyck3474 Bouchard could be a contender as well.
Draisaitl gets a lot of credit for the Oilers success. I haven't heard anyone make negative comments about him. He's the equivalent of Messier in the Gretzky era.
@@dianedyck3474Bouchard would be my pick if he continues putting up the points. Modern day Coffey with Ekholm being Charlie Huddy 👍
As a preds fan I think the nucks also deserve that "relentless" brand. What a series. See yall next year 🤝
Thank you for that amazing first round series.
@danielpatterson5189 I never paid much attention to the canucks until this year really. Silovs, Boeser and Zadorov have quickly become some of my favorite players of all time. Much love and respect my brotha.
I can only lament for Boeser and Vancouver. Hope JR and Alvin make the right moves.
I hate that Boeser legitimately could've been the difference maker tonight
Don't blame him, blame the "science poke".
1:40 This is the reason why I love The Hockey Guy!!
I have moved overseas, and cannot watch live hockey at all, and the time they play doesn't fit into my schedule. These little things made me feel like I was part of the crowd!! THANK YOU, THE HOCKEY GUY!! 🤜🤛
👍👍👍👍
Where are you located? I am in Korea and get the games on AFN, which is not limited to just military personell. If you have a smart TV you can get the App. They have shown every game of the Playoffs, and they also repeat the gaames in case you can't watch it live.
@@robertperrotto870 Thanks for the info!
I'm in Macau, and when they play, it's usually around 10am, during my work.
@@tamatb I am retired, so the games are perfectly timed for me. They do repeat the games in the evening.
Elias Petersson should now be known as... Passenger Pete.
Ghostbusters are hiring. Petey fits the bill.
The Mikheyev miss combined with the 4 minutes PP sealed it.
That was either the worst power play I've ever seen or the best pk of all time
@@2masterofpuppets2 Or both. A great penalty killing team like the Oilers, can make a power play look awful.
@@2masterofpuppets2Canucks pp has not been good for awhile now
When they started chanting let's go Petey you knew it was over hahahahahaha
I was in a call with one of my friends who's a Canucks fan, and he'd basically written everything off, and took everything with grace. Much like you. I'm now expecting a great show in the WCF with the Oilers and the Stars going at it.
No Boeser for Game 7 was rough. I had no team in this series but wanted the Canucks to get through. They looked tired last few games and especially late in the 3rd after they emptied the tank on the push in finally breaking the stifling D EDM played. All credit to EDM though they played excellent these last 2 games. I’m going to pick the Stars to come through in the WCF. They simply have more depth but EDM might have a chance if they can frustrate DAL through the NZ like they did to VAN but unfortunately for EDM that is exactly what DAL does to teams as well and it might end up being EDM frustrated: Regardless I do expect a long series if only for the fact that EDMs lethal power play shows no signs of slowing which maybe just maybe can give them enough offense to wear down DAL.
Congrats Canucks on a great season! Very close game at the end. Tough to be missing Boesser
I have no idea why Petersson is getting such a pass the last TWO rounds, he could have been a difference maker for Vancouver. Look at all the superstars that played in the last 2 rounds, they all made differences for their respective teams. We all chanting for Silovs, Miller, but chants for "Go Petey" just to get him motivated is sad. Hopefully Vancouver will improve with the right additions/subtractions. But I am proud of Vancouver making it this far.
You mean the opposing team shut down our 100 point player ...
That last 10 minutes was fantastic. Almost tied it up. Great series
Wow, wearing the Oilers jersey too, I could never. You're a class act. Go Oilers!!!!
After several disastrous years, the Canucks were a great surprise! Thanks for a successful & exciting regular season and playoffs!
Here's to hoping that the Canucks can finally win a championship within the next few years. I was rooting for them hard. I'm sad....
Die hard Oilers fan since the Gretzky era when I was a teen! I was so happy to see my boys win but It was a nail biter in the end and did feel sorry for the Canucks after the horn went in the 3rd. So much heart and soul looking at the players on the bench. Dallas is gonna be another tough team to beat but the Oilers have lots of fight left over and some lessons learned from the Avalanche CF 2 seasons ago. Go Oilers! Go!
Amazing hockey game! So relieved that Shilovs didn't steal the series. Van only outplayed Edmonton in game 5, EDM outplayed them in every other game and with what is on the line for Edmonton, this result is super relieving and deserving!
The fact that the Canucks made it as close as they did tonight is crazy, this team never quits
Sadly they quit the first 2 periods with their weak effort
they may not quit, but the problem is they start too late. had they started in the 1st instead of the 3rd, they'd have won this game.
at least silovs showed for the whole 60 minutes. no one else did.
@ericc2939 and the entirety of game 6 as well.
They never quit but they never start on time either. Game 5 against the Oilers was literally the only game this entire playoffs where you could definitively say they were the better team. They were playing on borrowed time all playoffs, and had they advanced, Dallas would've swept them.
THG is a true hockey fan and the best at what he does
What a win by the Oilers! Earned their win in the first and second period, not so much the third. They almost pulled a game 1 there and dropped their 3 goal lead but held on, just barely. Oilers can't keep playing like this if they want to win against the Stars and bring home the cup for Canada!
i'd rather keep it stateside than let the oilers have it.
Yeah Stars will beat the Oilers and deserve it more
If the Oilers can only barely beat a roughshod Canucks missing their top shooter and goaltender, I cant imagine them going the distance
@@Shortokeiki this series would’ve been a sweep if the oilers had Silovs
@@ShortokeikiAnyone thinking the Stars have more depth than the Oilers are fooling themselves. The oilers are faster, tougher on the forecheck, meaner, younger, and more skilled than Dallas. Otter hasn’t been a world-beater, and I’m sure the Oilers will exploit that. And Dallas doesn’t have a JT Miller to shadow McDavid all series. I think it’ll be a tough matchup for Dallas.
Tough one Shannon, but there’s a lot of positives to take away from this nucks season. Congrats to Edmonton, hell of a turnaround for them, should be a good series vs the stars! Really hoping the canucks build on this, I believe. 💚💙
Keep the faith Shannon. It WILL happen.
You are the best, thank you, the hockey guy!
Oilers fan but very impressed with Canucks this season, their team has potential to achieve great things in the coming seasons. Lots of respect and it was a good series.
Hats off to Silovs. He was the reason the Nucks were even in this series. Without him, they never had a chance. They need him to challenge for a starting position next year. Canucks showed in the regular season and in the playoffs that they have a great future ahead.
That third period comeback attempt again... If only the Canucks played the whole game like that. Man, as an Oilers fan, that was so frustrating. It's like "You guys have slept through this whole game and now you're gonna try to steal it at the end again? Really?" I'm happy Edmonton won. It's not a series I had high hopes for them, but it's cool to see them continue on. I'm about 80% sure it ends with Dallas though, but hey we'll see what happens.
Thanks for the games, Vancouver. You've been great and I think Silovs earned every right to move up from 3rd string. Just... please don't burn your beautiful city down again, I want to visit again in the fall 😅
*slap slap slap* Prepare for Battle!
it was hard to watch at first .i wish they played the whole game like at the end .
Discovered your channel about 3 years ago! Another great video!
I feel it's a bit unfair to claim that the Canucks won't win the cup in your lifetime, after this game. I think this team has so much potential to the future... They just need their young starts to mature a bit and with adding right pieces, this team is built to be in PO every year... Honestly, I don't think I can remember the Canucks team which was young and built for future as this one... I just hope they don't f*** it up as they used to... Not a Nucks fan, but Vancouver is one of the franchises I wish success... TBFH I absolutly didn't expect Vancouver making PO this year... but I'm usally wrong in these things so I'm just happy for Vancouver fans to enjoy some PO games after long time. :)
Love this channel!!!
That 4min PP was terrible.
So bad!! That was the first red flag tonight.
Oilers fan here. I have followed the Oilers from the Beginning (yes I am that old). All I can say is that I really appreciate it when we are in a division here all the teams are tough. Thats whats leads to the wins. I am so glad that we had a battle with the Nucks. If the Oilers win out I want to say thank you to the Nuck for forcing the team to reach a different level. Whenever the Oilers won the Cup they had to battle (Calgary, Jets and now Nucks). The battle makes you hard and you realize why the Stanley Cup playoff are the best sporting event in the World. It just gets harder from here and I hope that the Oilers have learned and remembered how hard this is. In the past it was the Jets or the flames which "tempered" the team for the war in fromt of them. The Canucks will be a problem for everyone next year. I can't think of any reason why they would regress.
Back to the Conference Finals!
Holy what a great series. Silovs was unreal. I hope we beat the Stars but its gonna be a tough task. Gg Canucks though, you guys battled hard
Watching this again the morning after drinking for the first time in ages (not dangerously or anything!). Definitely some sad emotions, but honestly I'm SO PROUD of the team, and this is the best year I've had as a hockey fan in over a decade. I wish we showed up for the first 50 minutes of the game and didn't try and rely on the comeback magic, but it is what it is. I'm so excited for next year's Nucks, and I'm now rooting for Dallas to win it all!
As an oiler fan - I wanna say thanks to your team what a series ! Well fought on both ! Also got another week spending time with my father watching our team play. Thank you Vancouver fans !!! We will see you next year
im not happy with how the canucks played the last 2 games, but overall im incredibly proud of how the team overperformed in the regualr season and playoffs, and this doesnt feel like the best its gonna get for this canucks team, and that is an exiting feeling
also im glad the canucks got some playoff expeirience, and got to see how teams play/defend in the playoffs, i think that will help them get some extended offensive zone time, and more shots next year
Thanks Shannon. You’re a true pro and the Canucks have a bright future.
This was probably my favorite series of the postseason so far.
Silovs had a hell of a playoff congrats to him and was hard to beat and this coming from an oilers fan
You look good in that jersey. Hope to see much more of it.
It was a great season, I'm still holding my head high with this team going into next year
Joshua had 9 hits tonight, say what you will about the rest of the team he and Garland always show up to play.
Lets go Stars!
Damn bro have watched every review the last two years, I feel for ya.
I know this stings for Canucks fans, but I think this 'no effort' line is both insulting to the Oilers, and even more insulting to the Canucks.
Canucks were amazing! What an amazing season they've had... From missing the playoffs to going 7 with an experienced and deadly Edmonton Oilers. The fact of the matter is that this series should have been 4-0 Edmonton, but the amazing fortitude, persistence, and consistency of this team took it to 7. Once the Oilers found their game (game 6) we saw that the Oilers are [currently] a superior team, and they dominated the Canucks.
And then there's Silov.... Holy sh*t, that guy is a star in the making. He was absolutely brilliant.
So Canucks fans should be thrilled about how their team has performed. As an Oilers fan, I'm glad they won, but man do I respect the Canucks.
not going to lie, as much as they surpassed any expectations this still stings and burns like a mf
This is going to be an exciting conference final 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I like the canucks it’s a building block for next season and had a hell of a season with winning 50 games and made the playoffs and it’s great momentum for next season.
Shannon I know it might hurt quite a bit right now but you should be very proud of the canucks and how far they've come this season and how bright their future is going to be. It was an incredible series you guys played relentless hockey (for most of the series) and never ever game up until the end except for game 6. I have a lot of respect for you have been watching your channel for the last 3 years and firmly believe you are the best CZcamsr in the hockey scene. You still have Dallas in the playoffs who are going to be facing my Oilers. It'll be an extremely tough series for us none the less i think it'll be the best series of the 2 conference finals. May the best team move onto the SCF. And i have to say it again the Canucks have a very bright future and are wishing them the best for next season.
We're tired of losing every fkn year
Fantastic series. Vancouver was dead out of water last season. This run was great. Nail biter near the end of this game lol. Cheers
great series
Taking the series to 7 with a 3rd string netminder speaks volumes about the Nucks future.
Sorry for your loss Shannon
Oilers jersey looking CLEAN! Boy does that look good!
I agree. Fits him perfectly
The series was closer than the Oilers should have let it be. The Oilers have shown that they can turn it to another level in the playoffs when they want, but it’s just getting that for a full game, let alone a series, has been the trick. But a more mature, seasoned Oilers came into tonight’s game and showed they can win it down the stretch. If the Oilers get to the Finals, I think the Vancouver series will be the toughest series they’ve had in the playoffs.
Dude, you guys were missing your top two players and still were hanging in there, hats off to y’all and y’all are a very good team.
vancouver dropping the last 2 games with a 32 shots combined just shows they had more issues than just the injuries.
they were all looking for passing instead of shooting and there is the problem.
thanks Hockey Guy
I am so miserable this time of year = losing since 1971 has got me down
It's official that the Oilers are really hated that much more by Nucks and Flames fans. Beating both teams in the playoffs when they were at their best.
Let's go Oilers! Last 5 minutes were really stressful but it's nice to see the Oilers advance.
Yeah, I wasn’t sitting down at all. It was a nail biter as I figured. The Canucks were a very tough opponent.
It shouldn't have been that close though. That horrible giveaway that led to the first Canuck goal, allowed them back in it. They were lucky to come out of it with a win.
Glad Edmonton won and thought they played really good the last couple games, still defensive brain farts but they got the job done. Just wanna say that the Canucks are a great team, loved the rivalry and great to see the Canucks make some noise. Lots of respect for Vancouver and its fans.
One helluva year, can't wait for next year.
The final 4 teams were all in the top 7 of the last power rankings of the season
great season through and through, excitement doesnt end here though! here comes an entertaining off season for us canucks fans!!
I feel your pain!!!! Caps fan since 1974; watched them in the handshake line 27 times until that GLORIOUS night in Vegas!!!! They will win it in your lifetime. By the way, I loved rockin' the Donny B #33 sweater last week.
Thanks Shannon for all you do!
A step forward from previous season is always something to be happy about. Hopefully the future is bright.
If I had a hockey channel and my team lost I'd lose it on here and probably get demonetized lol. I enjoy your take on the game, you have a great view on the game - thanks for wearing the Jersey.
Silovs did unbelievable as a 3rd string goalie. He made several highlight reel saves against McDavid and Draisaitl, two top forwards in the entire world. That is is pretty damn good.
looking forward to your edmonton vs dallas prediction/preview
Had a good chuckle when I opened the video and saw you wearing an Oilers jersey
Vancouver came out flat two games in a row. Pretty shocking actually. I don't know if it was Tocchet telling them to keep the shifts short but every time they broke out of their end they would dump the puck in and peel off to the bench. There was no chase after the dump in and the Oilers would just take it right back up the ice and hem the nucks in their own end. Poor Silovs got hung out to dry..
Proud of the team, had no expectations going into the season and they proved a lot of people wrong. I'll be cheering for Dallas the rest of the way!
Got to give props to Vancouver for always coming back. Edmonton really needed to have blown out Vancouver in Game 6 and shut out in game 7 to have made a statement. They almost did it then blew it to the comeback kids! Good for Vancouver but makes Oilers look shaky going into the next round…
As a Canucks fan, I am damn proud of this team. Last season was so hard and the new staff has turned the team all the way around. I feel optimistic about next year. And I could only feel frustration through the first two periods because I do not understand how a team can go against this Oilers team and think they can win on so few shots. Tough one to swallow given we took control later in the game. That said, looking forward to the future, Go Canucks, Go!
the oilers would kill for a goalie like silovs
Im worried they’re gonna trade him for a stupid return tbh.
I think it came down to stages of development. The Oilers are ahead, going to the playoffs for some years now, played a conference final a couple years ago.
Vancouver is a young team, and what a surprise is Silovs. This team can do more next season.
