- Kirk Day breaks down the Edmonton Oilers losing game 1 against the Vancouver Canucks after leading 4-1. The Oilers have had a tough defensive pairing of Darnell Nurse and Cody Ceci and it was very prevalent in this game. Changes will need to be made by the Oilers staff if they want a stronger chance at winning the series. Leon Draisaitl has been listed as day-day by head coach Kris Knoblauch, a very tough revelation ahead of game 2 as the Oilers will need all hands on deck

Oilers Digest is a channel that breaks down all of the latest news, reports and rumours on the Edmonton Oilers. This includes coverage on players such as Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl, Zach Hyman, Evan Bouchard, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Evander Kane, Corey Perry, Kris Knoblauch, Ken Holland and more!
I think it's hilarious how every single mistake Ceci makes gets blamed on Nurse by people who don't understand what blown coverage looks like. I'm not saying Nurse is flawless (far from it), but one of the goals Wednesday night was clearly caused by Ceci being lost while Nurse is trying to cover the front the net as best he can. Ceci dives in to try and stick check when it's too late and the puck is already in the net. Is Nurse overpaid for what he brings on the ice? Sure. Has Ceci been an issue that everyone and their dog has known about for 2 summers now? Absolutely.
Holland wasn't willing to pay the price for Tanev but he bit on Henrique and Carrick? How is that working out right now?
Perhaps Skinner could step up and make a big save. Can't always pin the break down on the D men.
Except Nurse... It's just natural for him to suck and for us to call him out in it.
The Oilers needed to trade for a Playoff Goaltender, and more size this past year (and they had a chance with Marc Andre Fluery and Lehner this past 2 years). But did nothing. Skinner? Wow...Canucks now in 5...
Everyone keeps saying that for the Canucks to beat the Oilers, the Canucks cant just be a 1.5 offense line team. But people seem to forget that in order for the Oilers to beat the Canucks, The Oilers can't be a 1 pairing D team.
They should play Ekholm more.
Ceci s analytics have been atrocious for several years. They needed to be split up 3 years ago. Not sure why they won’t, it’s costing them games. When you break down the Vegas series last year that pairing single hand idly lost it for us.
Honestly they should have never picked Ceci up. Ask Toronto and Ottawa.
Thats just the beginning , put dry saddle back on the ice. Hes getting hit twice as hard , twice as much next game he plays
You can't have playoff success with Darnell Nurse's horrible defensive zone coverage and Stuart Skinner giving up 2 soft goals a game just can't happen.
Skinner never seems to have two bad games in a row though. Nurse, however seems to have strung enough together to make a lucrative career out of it.
As a oilers fan, new subscriber here! LETS GO OILERS!
This game would not have been even close if the Oilers didn't get those two goals on their 4 shots in the second. They were both shots Silovs should have had and were totally against the play. But, that's what you get when you are playing your third string goalie.
That third string rookie goalie outplayed Skinner
@@jasonwilliams8016 : Skinner IS a third string goalie on most other teams.
@@nobuddy2012 true enough lol Canucks have his number maybe? Open the flood gates tonight!
We’re all sick and tired of waiting for nurse to earn his pay cheque. He’s not even worth half of what he’s getting paid.
i hear you. elias pettersson is playing like a 4th line winger for over 2 months now and he gets 7.35 this year and 11.6 starting next year.
Yeah, 4 mil a year sounds about right for that guy.
@@CashMacGregor at least Petterson had 3 SOG and was even +/-. Sure McDavid got an assist but who's earning their wage more?
nurse is a great fucking player, like wtf he literally blocks shots intentionally knowing he might get hurt
all of you are fakes
Bump vinnie up with nurse put Ceci with kulak since they’ve played in the past and kulak has been better then nurse and ceci defensively so far.
I think that would be a mistake……
Bump Nurse up... All the way to the press box.
If skinners body isnt in the way the puck will go in i tell you he closes his eyes
Oilers goaltending is just not good enough to win. And will be outworked by the Canucks.
Oilers are paying Nurse 9.25M until 2030.... enjoy!!! the guy was only on the ice for 4 goals against.
People bagging on Cole but that guy doesn't get paid even close to top money.
Cole will play better in game 2.
Definitely Coles worst game of the playoffs.
Canuck fan comment here. I don't mean to rub this in, but I haven't watched a lot of full Oilers games this season. I was basically shocked by how much ice Edm gave Vancouver in game 1, and how shaky Nurse was in key moments. Anyway, Edmonton has a better chance at a Cup than Vancouver but if Nurse doesn't play better I can't see you winning it all.
Canucks in 5
youd almost think maybe they didnt play for 7 days... next game will be a different outcome
Really ? That's the excuse ? Canucks didn't play for 6 days
Oh, it was because Edmonton had two more days off than Vancouver. That's why they lost.
Yes,it will be different.
The Canucks will score first and lead the entire game.
They have more depth, better and stronger defense, better goaltending, and they're tougher mentally than the Oilers.
Vancouver knows they are vulnerable without Demko. They were lucky to win game 1. They have Skinner to thank. He always bounces back and has shown a lights out performance in the past after a bad game. I dont think that the Vancouver Canucks are so good they can imobolize the Oilers to the point of getting by with lacklustre goaltending. If Skinner can amp up his game and play to his full potential then this will not be easy for them. Same ol story with hockey, it takes a team to win a cup but often times goalies can win it themselves. The Canucks players arent like the fans. They realize they were lucky to win game 1. Again Skinner handed it to them.
Oilers will never win without a good goaltender. 2 banked goals off him because he is out of position, long shot from blue line and wasn't screened and last goal, way out of position. Half decent goalie's will make those saves. Copy of Vegas series last year.
90% left after your clip of how we dont subscribe.... yuck
Nurse is NOT the problem. He had the best +/- on the team for the 2022/2023 year. If all 6 defensemen were Nurse clones it would be terrific. He is overpaid, so he is a good $4M or $5 M defenseman. That’s better than average.
Bouchard is a great offensive producer. He is not very good defensively. Makes lots of mistakes. Gets away with it because of his defensive partner.
The loss was a total team effort. McDavid had ZERO shots. The effort was consistently bad top to bottom. Skinner was shaky on many shots. Blame the team.
It is a shame how the Canucks weren't called for any real penalties. It is a shame how the NHL does not protect its star players. This is how sh!$@t teams like Vancouver advance in the playoffs. For the good of the game the NHL needs to call a foul a foul. Tyler Meyers should be suspended.
Hilarious. Myers pushes him and its intened to injury? How about ypur D stick literally stuck in our players helmet IN FRONT of the ref. Literally. And no high sticking call
The thing is that its a bad to stop playin in the third period. Canucks are not the better team, everyone saw that.
The better team definitely won game one. Canucks out played Edmonton 5v5
All I see is that the Canucks are much better than the oilers
@@theburlshack Much? Dont know. Too early.
@@theburlshack All I see is Oilers….
stop analyzing the oilers game and admit once again that the canucs are a good team. stop underestimating the team that currently has a score of 5:0 against the oilers
Oilers dont have a couple of their star players but canucks dont hav their number one goalie either,stop te crying ...canucks are undefeated against the oilers for a reason😅
Oilers just don’t have the depth or coaching of Vancouver.
Well they actually have more depth but really none of it matters if they don’t call any penalties. If they don’t call obvious penalties then that’s a massive advantage for Vancouver keeping a 60% PP off the ice. Leagues gift wrapping it for Van so far.
@@dr.feelgood9067 Gift wrapping it?
You act as though the Oilers didn't get away with what should have been penalties as well.
The refs weren't responsible for the Oilers blowing a 3 goal lead. The Canucks kept McDavid to one point and zero shots on goal.
Hell, they kept the entire team to zero shots in over 20 minutes.
One game in and you're already making your excuses for the Oilers losing
@@alexandermacdougall7873 you don’t do that with McDavid without taking penalties, they just didn’t call them.
Wahhhhh
@@dr.feelgood9067 so you're saying your team can't win 5 on 5 LMAO I agree.
Ok kid your young, I don't know what if the oiler organization is looking for a guy who knows so much like you but I think that they probably know best. Stop crying its one game.
The Canucks have their number. They won't survive the series.
Canucks in 6
Oilers lose again sorry to say 😢
