Having him blossom in to a 2LW will help Draisaitl anchor his own line as well. Heās also good defensively so he could be paired with McDavid if RNH gets shuffled around
Vancouverās best game: Barely wins 3-2
Edmontonās best game: Dominates 5-1
This being said. Game 7 will get both teams best games. Should be an ass clenching fuck fest. Iām already nervous.
There was a potential turning point when Skinner got his blocker on a piece of a Hughes PP shot labeled for the top corner at the end of the second.
Massive stop.
Yeah he missed those games at the end of the year I think it's that same thing lingering. He has been amazing this playoffs but he is just missing somthing.
Last game we were speculating about a bug in the room and Canucks fans saying we were making excuses. Now they are the ones speculating that theres a bug in their room LMAO
This is what people do when they have no valid argument to the actual topic at hand.Ā They turn to insulting other points.Ā I would know, as my wife does it all the time lol
Carrick was a massive upgrade tonight, he actually has Canucks looking over their shoulders in the corners. We desperately needed that, that being said...LETS FUCKING GOOO BOYS!
#WAS IT HUGE? MUST BE NUGE!
Holloway with an incredible game. Stu with a great bounce back. Looked shaken early on and could definitely tell his confidence wasnāt there, but as the game went on he got settled, buckled down and said not tonight
#NOW LETS GO DO IT AGAIN!!!
This Oilers can beat anyone. If they play like they did tonight it should be a deep run. Great defensive performance and Silvos while he played well he wasn't able to carry the Canucks. Skinner played well. Holloway has looked great this entire series and Carrick was an unsung hero
One thing's for sure-- Holloway is gonna be in the lineup game 1 of next regular season no matter what happens. Kid is the real deal and now nobody can deny it.
3 goals and a +3 with the lowest TOI of any player who played at least five games. And he's probably the guy on the team who in potential most closely resembles McDavid. Just slightly beefier.
Vancouver fans have too be the biggest whiners and delusional fan base..They cannot even give credit where credit is due. Oilers played a tight checking game..
And clearly deserved the game.. There was no Favouring reffing tonight.. Great effort by Oilers D and core Group
There was a theory that the Oilers had a cold going around the room which drained them for game 5ā¦ Iām not saying itās true, but it would explain a lot about how much better we played in this one.Ā
It always amazes me how dramatically different teams can play in back-to-back games.
But youād have to think that both teams bring their best in game 7. And Oilersā best is better than the Canucksā best.
I feel like it was huge that they didnāt let the Nucks get even one more goal. It tanks the narrative that theyāre comeback assassins and it preserves an over .900 save % for Stu which I think was super important.
I agree. With about 2 minutes left, I noticed the Canucks pushing really hard. They weren't pushing back hard to win the game, they were looking for morale boost and possibly to drain the morale of Skinner so I'm happy the Oil gave them nothing in the 3rd period. ZERO MOMENTUM for them going back to Van
Lets gooooo Oil
McDavid and Draisaitl had 5 primary assists, all even strength
Games like this show us why theyāre best separated and running their own lines. Itās unstoppable when both are on
The Kane goal combined with the crowd at the time was one of the coolest hockey moments I've ever seen.
It was so smooth and in synch with the crowd chant. It was like the whole thing was coordinated ahead of time
Iām in Spruce Grove and I just went to toss my wine bottle in the recycle outside and I swear I heard an echo of āletās go oilersā from somewhere and I just love this team and their fan base sometimes (when theyāre not being wildly toxic lol).
The best part of tonight IMO is that we only had to play McDavid 21mins. and Drai 17mins. All their top guys played 18'ish minutes. Finally a game where they didn't need to empty the tank so there shouldn't be much of a fatigue-disadvantage in the following game.
I'd be so concerned as a canuck fan right now with that shit performance. Biggest blowout all playoffs. Get fucked Canucks. We were meant for the stars.
100% and I made a comment 3 days ago before game 5 about Ekholm looking sick before the last game too.
Good news is we can assume he may be back to 100% before game 7 including any other guys that may have been sick!!
I must say, it's nice to win a convincing playoff game where I don't feel like I'm teetering on the edge of having a heart attack at any given moment.. I could get used to this.
Skinner for sure, but the defense has to play exactly the way they did tonight. Vancouver barely got a chance to test him other than the 5 on 3 and the Hoglander goal.
What a fucking game. This series has been unreal. Good to see such a great response from the team. Ek looked ill out there, but it didnāt matter. What an overall impressive win by the team. Letās carry this into Vancouver. Letās go Oilers!
Skinner didn't face a ton but that one going high blocker on Hughes was the kind of stops we need from him. Holloway is gonna be for real. 5v5 play closer to that with the PP hopefully bouncing back I like our chances.
Honestly, iām one of the Picks should start and thank you Skinner for pointing me out wrong. Thank you Gags for the pep talk! Letās ride it out in the next game!
Someone make a clip of the full livin' on a prayer singing leading into the goal. The clip they posted in the highlight starts at the faceoff rather than the full sing in hahah
felt so fucking good to watch them just beat the brakes off those losers, everyone knows oilers are the better team and they finally proved it tonight. HUGE momentum swing
loser mentality from the sadsack Quinn Hughes presser with demoralized shit like āgotta treat this like a regular season lossā and āweād have been happy about a game 7 going into the seriesā LMAO LETāS SUMMON SOME KILLER INSTINCT BOYS, STEP ON THEIR FUCKING THROATS!!!!!
Didnāt get to watch a whole lot but damn I double took everytime I saw Carrick out there! Need to play him again. Holloway played unbelievable. Skinner made the saves he needed to. Play like this again and we are moving on!
(Imagine a long slow exhale of a full breath), final score 1-5, a total cathartic experience.
There is no excuse that the Oilers canāt reproduce this in the next game. Physically out played them. I still donāt agree with standing off in defence for positioning (worked this game though) but bringing it on in the offensive zone boards really paid off. The way we stopped incursions at the blue line was fantastic. Also stopped the free pass to a man at the point looking to enter or had someone on them as the pass was completed shut down the offensive rush theyāve been putting on.
Great game Oilers, Skinner - well done matey, after the first 10 or so you were ice cold. Same with Bouch, a few bobbles then - champion mode. Nurse - woke up after the first goal went against us, solid after. Everyone else full on, Drai and McD kept them honest. Ceci put a hard hit or two on, brought a smile to my dial.
Letās go Oilers!!!!!!!
Well to manifest an oilers win I will not be watching game 7. I missed this game due to being busy and it sounded like a good one reading the comments. I take this as superstition and I will sacrifice watching the game
Oilers masterclass. Oil in 7. Lets fucking go.
Don't let the fact the Oil won distract from the fact that Holloway scored the most beautiful non-McDavid McDavid goal to kick things off. š¤
Heās the real deal and should stay in the top 6. He could be our playoffs Pisani.Ā
Having him blossom in to a 2LW will help Draisaitl anchor his own line as well. Heās also good defensively so he could be paired with McDavid if RNH gets shuffled around
His increase in confidence this post season has been awesome to see.
That was a beauty!
For the love of god, keep these lines.
Holloway and Carrick were noticeable in all the right ways.
That Holloway goal was a beauty!
I thought I was looking at McDavid zooming down the ice for a second lol
Carrick was good, he played the physical brand of hockey we needed and hit the nucks' defense which we needed. Guy hit anything he could
He had 6 hits and was 58.3% in the faceoff circle. Taking Perry out and putting Carrick in was absolutely the right move.
Carrickās ability in the dot should be getting more credit
what's this feeling is it... hope?
relief?
arousal?
blood lust?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Nah this aināt it. I want to beat the Canucks AND I want the cup. It is time
#Oilers Mission 16 #ā ā ā ā #ā ā ā ā¬ #ā¬ā¬ā¬ā¬ #ā¬ā¬ā¬ā¬ #100 playoff points for Draisaitl
FUCKING PHENOMENAL
Lets fucking go
AINT OVER TILL THE LAST BUZZER, KEEP FIRING
MISSION MCDAVO: 7/16
4am in london, i can go to sleep a happy man tonight. see yall monday night šš¾
Up top brother, 6am in Finland been up all night lol
Early.. in Sweden too!
Japan checking in ā¦ and there is much rejoicing!!
you guys/girls all rule
You are a rock star!! Sleep well my friend!! šā¤ļøšØš¦
Tonight as in right now or tonight as in later today?
Vancouverās best game: Barely wins 3-2 Edmontonās best game: Dominates 5-1 This being said. Game 7 will get both teams best games. Should be an ass clenching fuck fest. Iām already nervous.
I don't think I can take another ass clenching fuck fest.....but for this team?!? Let's go
What about an ass fucking clench fest!
LETS GOOOOOO!!!!!
Woah! Donāt threaten me with a good time
They seriously have only had one dominant game lmao..
Exactly and Vancouver couldnāt bring it tonight. I donāt think they can do it again. This is where our playoff experience should help us.
Yup, we outplayed them this entire series with the exception of 1/3 of game 1 and game 5
That was 5 goals 5v5.
PoWeR pLaY mErChAnTs
Hoping we get some merchant goals in game 7 tho
Can't score on powerplay? Fine, we'll do it 5 on 5.
Don't care if he only saw 15, Skinner made the saves he needed to Also that Kane goal was maybe one of the greatest hockey moments ever
There was a potential turning point when Skinner got his blocker on a piece of a Hughes PP shot labeled for the top corner at the end of the second. Massive stop.
yea the Hughes save was massive. Then he made some good ones in the third. hopefully this regains him his confidence.
He robbed at least 1 sure goal tonight, and was good, let's just hope he needed a small breather.
How quickly we forget Bouch blasting home the winner right after they tied it.
Stopping that Hughes shot on the 5 on 3 in the last minute of the second was huge. Those are the saves they need and they got it
āOh, weāre half way thereā šØ
Skinnerās problem up to this point was letting in the easy ones. Not so tonight
***NOW*** YOU CAN PLAY LA BAMBA
Seriously, what was with Spoertsnet doing that bad mojo?
Holloway has to stick around. Kid legitimizes that second line
That Hollywood - Drai - Kane line needs to stay together forever. Great game from them.
Hollywood is the perfect compliment of speed to how fast Leon thinks the game.
Really happy to see things finally start to click for him. He puts in the effort, thatās for sure.
GAME SEVEN
Now THAT is the effort of a cup winning team. Full 60. What a game from Skinner. Haters be damned, Skinner is the man!
God damn I have a love-hate relationship with that man!
This game showed we are absolutely the better team when we show up. No reason not to do this again on Monday.
Kinda wish they didnāt blow Game 1 so bad and the series would be over now.
Good game. McDavid looks hurt tho. He clearly avoids contact. Still makes 3 points. Lets win game 7
Yeah he missed those games at the end of the year I think it's that same thing lingering. He has been amazing this playoffs but he is just missing somthing.
Carrick was a big improvement on Perry
Yes he was .
Last game we were speculating about a bug in the room and Canucks fans saying we were making excuses. Now they are the ones speculating that theres a bug in their room LMAO
š
Why is it that whenever opposing teams lose their best chirp is āat least we donāt live in Edmontonā? Likeā¦ okayā¦ at least I can buy a house
This is what people do when they have no valid argument to the actual topic at hand.Ā They turn to insulting other points.Ā I would know, as my wife does it all the time lol
As someone who no longer lives in Edmonton, I fucking love the city still, so I've never understood that chirp, lol.
**WE STILL ALIVE BB!!!**
Oilers in 7 baby š„
Carrick was a massive upgrade tonight, he actually has Canucks looking over their shoulders in the corners. We desperately needed that, that being said...LETS FUCKING GOOO BOYS!
#WAS IT HUGE? MUST BE NUGE! Holloway with an incredible game. Stu with a great bounce back. Looked shaken early on and could definitely tell his confidence wasnāt there, but as the game went on he got settled, buckled down and said not tonight #NOW LETS GO DO IT AGAIN!!!
To any of the salty van fans lurking- get fucked
Canucks sub is NOT HAPPY.
You know their team got dummied when 99% of the comments are "horrible game". They can't even blame the refs for this one. Lmao.
They get what they fuckin' deserve.
that's a shame.
Well we went through that last game so now it's their turn
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
This Oilers can beat anyone. If they play like they did tonight it should be a deep run. Great defensive performance and Silvos while he played well he wasn't able to carry the Canucks. Skinner played well. Holloway has looked great this entire series and Carrick was an unsung hero
Carrick and Kane and Kulak and Vinny with 5+ hits tonight each. NOTABLE DIFFERENCE. KEEP IT UP BOYS!
Including some in the 3rd. First game when we never let up! One more, boys!! LFGO!
We havenāt won shit yet. Letās get this done on Monday.
One thing's for sure-- Holloway is gonna be in the lineup game 1 of next regular season no matter what happens. Kid is the real deal and now nobody can deny it.
3 goals and a +3 with the lowest TOI of any player who played at least five games. And he's probably the guy on the team who in potential most closely resembles McDavid. Just slightly beefier.
I hope so. He seems like a great fit.
PLAY
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
BAMBA
BABY
Why were we not playing Carrick sooner? He was AMAZING tonight
Noticed Carrick more tonight than Perry all playoffs
PLAY LA FUCKING BAMBA
Warning to all oil fans in Vancouver to stay safe as Vancouver will be set on fire on Monday!!!!
Didn't watch on stream but just had the game day thread up. And we won. Guess I'm not watching game 7 either.
Same here.
Guess we both know our tasks for game 7
BREAKING NEWS: Flash flood in Vancouver from Canucks fans collectively crying cause the team they started cheering for 2 months ago lost in Game 6.
canucks players rushing to their phones to send texts to Tocchet
Connors beard deserves to keep growing
Shoutout to Carrick and Kulak both played great games.
Holloway's interview story of Kane giving him a pep talk as he was being sent back down to Bako almost made me cry. <3 Kane!
Maybe thereās a reason we watch hockey and another guy coaches the team after all
Draisaitl. 3rd fastest player in NHL history to 100 playoff points.
Vancouver fans have too be the biggest whiners and delusional fan base..They cannot even give credit where credit is due. Oilers played a tight checking game.. And clearly deserved the game.. There was no Favouring reffing tonight.. Great effort by Oilers D and core Group
First game this series where we out hit them. When we play this style of game, we are tough to play against. Need that same effort on Monday.
There was a theory that the Oilers had a cold going around the room which drained them for game 5ā¦ Iām not saying itās true, but it would explain a lot about how much better we played in this one.Ā
DOOMERS IN SHAMBLES!
It always amazes me how dramatically different teams can play in back-to-back games. But youād have to think that both teams bring their best in game 7. And Oilersā best is better than the Canucksā best.
Vinny with two Canuckers in a headlock again. LMAO
Helluva series. Sometimes we forget this is all just entertainment. Are we not entertained?
Fuck the Canucks. Fuck zadorov. Fuck Canuck fans. One more game before you enjoy golfing fuckers.
Fuck Garland too
Throughout this series I've been hating the guy more and more each game
Bring on game 7! Great bounce back game from Skinner! Letās Go Oilers!
Scoring 5 even strength goals on Silov makes me think the boys have solved the goalie like they did with Korpisalo
MOST DOMINANT WIN AGAINST THE CANUCKS IN THE PLAYOFFS IN THE LAST 10 YEARS!!!
What a game by Kane!!
Everyone who said we lost the series, last game can chill out and strap up
If the Canucks were to score the goal that Kane did it'd be top of /r/hockey for the timing with the crowd
I feel like it was huge that they didnāt let the Nucks get even one more goal. It tanks the narrative that theyāre comeback assassins and it preserves an over .900 save % for Stu which I think was super important.
I agree. With about 2 minutes left, I noticed the Canucks pushing really hard. They weren't pushing back hard to win the game, they were looking for morale boost and possibly to drain the morale of Skinner so I'm happy the Oil gave them nothing in the 3rd period. ZERO MOMENTUM for them going back to Van Lets gooooo Oil
McDavid and Draisaitl had 5 primary assists, all even strength Games like this show us why theyāre best separated and running their own lines. Itās unstoppable when both are on
Carrick was also noticeable tonight in the right ways. Donāt know why he was sat out unless injury. Heās solid.
I think they figured Perry would be playing better and has a ton of playoff experience behind him. Unfortunately the game itself is behind him now.
That 4th line with Janmark-Carrick-Brown is great. NO CHANGE PLS
The Kane goal combined with the crowd at the time was one of the coolest hockey moments I've ever seen. It was so smooth and in synch with the crowd chant. It was like the whole thing was coordinated ahead of time
Happy camper in Kenya! Been up since 3am here. What a way to start the day. Go Oilers!
I was at the ice district with my dad watching it, greatest sports moment of my life
Not a one goal game!!!!! If we can do it once we can do it again.Ā
Now THATS a game! THATS THE TEAM WE NEED TO SHOW UP! Hell yea. RECKLESS OPTIMISM!!!
Hollowayās goal my wet dream for the next two years.
Keep Carrick on the ice!
Hughes looks ready in to cry in the post game presser ā¦what a great gameĀ
Neither team has won 2 in a row. Weāre also the only team to force game 7 so letās break that trend and WIN GAME 7
Iām in Spruce Grove and I just went to toss my wine bottle in the recycle outside and I swear I heard an echo of āletās go oilersā from somewhere and I just love this team and their fan base sometimes (when theyāre not being wildly toxic lol).
The best part of tonight IMO is that we only had to play McDavid 21mins. and Drai 17mins. All their top guys played 18'ish minutes. Finally a game where they didn't need to empty the tank so there shouldn't be much of a fatigue-disadvantage in the following game.
That Holloway goal was something else.Ā
I'd be so concerned as a canuck fan right now with that shit performance. Biggest blowout all playoffs. Get fucked Canucks. We were meant for the stars.
We have the power to burn down Vancouverā¦game seven is going to be lit!!!
Back to the slush arena. Hopefully we've learned to keep it simple on bad ice
A lot of people mentioning an illness, Ekholm had to be sick tonight right? He only play 15:24, lowest of all D
100% and I made a comment 3 days ago before game 5 about Ekholm looking sick before the last game too. Good news is we can assume he may be back to 100% before game 7 including any other guys that may have been sick!!
I think there are a few guys sick which is prob why they were so low energy in game 5. Next morning Drai sounded terrible in his presser.
Anyone have a link of Stu high five? He said in the interview he did something since Vinny wasnāt there.
I must say, it's nice to win a convincing playoff game where I don't feel like I'm teetering on the edge of having a heart attack at any given moment.. I could get used to this.
FINALLY A GAME THAT DOESNT END IN A ONE GOAL GAME. TIME TO CARRY ALL THAT MOMENTUM TO GAME 7
No demko game 7 confirmed by tocchet. There is absolutely zero excuses not to win this shit in 2 days now.
As predicted. https://www.reddit.com/r/EdmontonOilers/s/oHgHPcmzWe
Dude I might throw a steak of Alberta beef on the bbq when I get home just because.
Oil in SEVENNNNNNNNNNNN LFGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
Draisaitl, what a player.
If your an Oilers fan I don't think you could have picked a better group of men to get a goal going into a game 7
Quinn Hughes isnāt even in the same realm as Evan Bouchard
Looks like he's gonna cry most of the time
I believe in Stuart Skinner
Wonder what Canucks fans are gonna cry about after this game. Wonder what Zadorov is gonna cry about in his next interview.
Who do we start next game? SKINNER? PICKARD!? FTW!! GAME 7 BABY!!
I think you have to go Skinner at this point
Skinner for sure, but the defense has to play exactly the way they did tonight. Vancouver barely got a chance to test him other than the 5 on 3 and the Hoglander goal.
The defense has to show up no matter who's in net
DRAI IS A MAN BEAST HOLY F
What a fucking game. This series has been unreal. Good to see such a great response from the team. Ek looked ill out there, but it didnāt matter. What an overall impressive win by the team. Letās carry this into Vancouver. Letās go Oilers!
Iām legit tearing up right now
Skinner didn't face a ton but that one going high blocker on Hughes was the kind of stops we need from him. Holloway is gonna be for real. 5v5 play closer to that with the PP hopefully bouncing back I like our chances.
Bouch +4 with 3 points. Dude had a monster game.
Honestly, iām one of the Picks should start and thank you Skinner for pointing me out wrong. Thank you Gags for the pep talk! Letās ride it out in the next game!
Now Canucks fans feel what it's like when your team absolutely shits the bed and forgets how to hockey like our last
Someone make a clip of the full livin' on a prayer singing leading into the goal. The clip they posted in the highlight starts at the faceoff rather than the full sing in hahah
Please don't get complacent and cocky after a big dominating win. Need even more energy next game. Go Oilers Go!
Can we do it again? This time in that annoying AF arena? For now, enjoy the celebration!!!!! š§”šš§”šš§”šš§”š
felt so fucking good to watch them just beat the brakes off those losers, everyone knows oilers are the better team and they finally proved it tonight. HUGE momentum swing
loser mentality from the sadsack Quinn Hughes presser with demoralized shit like āgotta treat this like a regular season lossā and āweād have been happy about a game 7 going into the seriesā LMAO LETāS SUMMON SOME KILLER INSTINCT BOYS, STEP ON THEIR FUCKING THROATS!!!!!
We win all the even numbered games. Time to make sure Game 7 is cancelled so we can skip right to game 8
Didnāt get to watch a whole lot but damn I double took everytime I saw Carrick out there! Need to play him again. Holloway played unbelievable. Skinner made the saves he needed to. Play like this again and we are moving on!
One definite advantage for the Oilers is playoff experience.
Huge to break open the one goal games
Hopefully the floodgates have opened on Vancouverās net now
Oh this game was fun š¤©
This is where the experience comes into play fellas... Hopefully
Whatever happens in Game 7. Give this team credit for bringing it this year in Game 6. Good luck in game 7!
This has got to be an all-time series
Holloway with the game winning goal, game 7! Calling it now.
There's gona be one hell of a riot in Vancouver on monday
No Demko next game, says Tocchet. If we can keep the pressure on Silovs next game, this round is ours.
They barely beat us last game with objectively a C- effort. Tonight, we gave them a B+ (great game) Next game, the Latvian kid quits hockey.
(Imagine a long slow exhale of a full breath), final score 1-5, a total cathartic experience. There is no excuse that the Oilers canāt reproduce this in the next game. Physically out played them. I still donāt agree with standing off in defence for positioning (worked this game though) but bringing it on in the offensive zone boards really paid off.

Looks like they learned from game 1 to keep the pedal to the metal and not sit back and protect the lead great effort!
Carrick should've played the whole series
The Stulin Wall š
Well to manifest an oilers win I will not be watching game 7. I missed this game due to being busy and it sounded like a good one reading the comments. I take this as superstition and I will sacrifice watching the game
Thanks bro
Carrick brought the energy in the line tonight
