Decided to take some time before posting again like in last series.
This feels like a great opportunity. Regardless of the outcome I can say I have enjoyed the journey to this point. This next game will help the organization decide who has the will and burning desire to be difference makers. Whether that be offensively or defensively. Tocc was watching the guys on the bench very closely in the final 10 minutes. He was reading the players and see who he thinks he can trust in game 7. We saw a lot of the bottom lines to close out the final frame and I'm glad it seemed like he rested some of the vets.
I expect Mikheyev will be back in. Podz I hope will be. Silovs deserves the start. I have full confidence our team builders Jim and Alvin will deliver us an even more improved squad next season. One that will be younger with AHL injections and with more promising talent via trade and free agency. I suspect Brock Boeser will be traded because he lacks the speed and drive to win each night. If he only was a bit faster he could be a real difference maker. I would make a play for Ehlers or better yet.. an actual good Dpartner for Quinn Hughes. A defensively reliable yet semi offensively gifted dman. Parayko maybe?
I don't suspect Lindholm returns but I would welcome him here long term if he felt he had a chance to win a cup here. Dakota Joshua is going to be to costly to re-sign and we got plenty of stud young kids coming up. He should cash in but not in VAN. Garland has been a great piece for us! I am all for keeping him unless we can utilize the cap space better for a more efficient offensive threat. We are decently well built but still lack some key parts to be heavy favourites. We could beat the Oil Monday and give Dallas a run for their money. But to be a consistent cup contender you need more pieces. Perhaps our AHL kids start to give us that next year. But I think we still need a legit scorer. I think that person is Guentzel. Make it happen Jim. You know the man and you know how he can deliver. Otherwise I would target some pieces out of Carolina Necas, Svech if he hits the market etc. Try and maybe poach a good man in ufa like Pesce. (Believe he doesn't want to Canada tho).This next game will be our mona lisa. Who will rise, who will prove they have the ability and can deliver! Coach isn't putting anyone in the lineup he doesn't feel has it. The burning desire to succeed! No one outside the room is coming in to save the guys. Demmer isn't being air dropped in so its up to the players in the room to look at themselves in the mirror and ask if they can give more. We need a big game on Monday and we need to give a full 60 minute effort. Something we have yet to do this series. Silovs has earned the start and I believe he is capable of delivering us the W. We just need to clean up their chances to go five hole in close. He got exposed there a few times tonight.
I trust Tocc. I trust Hughes n Miller. Let's get this rolling and trust our management will make this work! Even if some of the decisions this off-season are not the most crowd pleasing! Lets go boys!

I like the fact podz got tossed. That will get him even more engaged if he plays game 7. It seemed like coach was running the bottom lines out at the end to see who has any F's left to give. He kept staring at the bench in the final ten. Reading the players on the bench.

Put in DeSmith.
That isn't the play. EDM will tear him apart with their cross crease passes. Silovs has earned the next start if demmer isn't ready.

You have to play Demko in game 7 if ready just like how Oilers had to play Skinner in elimination game.
You live and die with your starter.
Saw an article today saying he won't be back this series.. but after this maybe?
-
That should motivate the guys.
Better show up for game 7.

absolutely. I'd say the Canucks have been thoroughly outplayed in games 2, 3, 4 and 6. Silovs has been the difference
He's been exposed on the five hole a couple of times this game. If Demko is ready id like to @ir drop him for game 7.

They’re not giving any reason for people to believe they’ll win the series.
I started to lose faith there. Little surge there tho giving me a glimmer of hope. Better sustain that til the end. We need overtime boys! Make it happen.

Go Canucks go !
Blahh. Looking like a game 7. This team is no pressing hard enough, quick enough. We are held to 10 shots. This is a bad look on this squad.

Nobody is hungry tonight except the Oilers. They don’t want a repeat of last year and they are playing like it. This is the experience part and Oilers have the advantage. Maybe if it was other way around where we’re down in the series, we play better tonight. Unfortunately Canucks are playing for gAme 7 at home.
I'd be mad but it's still reachable and these are important lessons for the team.

Vancouver has not been the best team through 40. We had a good ten minute start then it's been downhill since then.
Time to win the terd!

No, he was already in the box.
Hyman went in the box first didn't he? I swear lol
-
How did Derrek Ryan come out of the box at the end of the second? He went in for the two many men penalty?
-
How many PP's is that for the oilers now? Canucks should get the only calls from here on out I hope.

3-1 down with their crowd going nuts and the media popping off......just where we want them
If we come back and tie the oilers will be reeling.

I'm not worried. Not yet. Gonna need some momentum to close out the second though and a strong third.

If we score quick here we could deflate them.

Good call by refs. At the end McDavid jumps INTO the goalie. Charging penalty.
That's what I yelled.

Yup. I think Petey on the wing where he has been his entire career before coming to Vancouver. I think we'll get the most out of him there.
Yeah, Petey is capable of playing C when they need it. It's good to have a C option. We paid him like a C but he can still function as one on his strong side.
He's better then Marner. I don't see an issue fundamentally with it. Might cause the media to complain but if you're winning what does it matter?

I agree. In the end what is going to happen will happen. All we can do is cheer for the team and hope for the best. We will need a lot more out of every player though if we wish to get any further wins in these playoffs. All the games here on out are going to be extremely challenging.
