The lists of injuries that come out after the playoffs are over are often shocking. What some of the players contend with is incredible.

Careful! If we say his name three times, he will appear.

I really wish they had just said he was out due to an undisclosed medical issue.

They'll likely need to score 3 or 4 to get to OT or win against the Oilers. That should be doable against Skinner as long as they don't overpass on the PP and get in front of him in general.

Considering the giant leap forward this season, including making it to Game 7 of the second round, all I ask is that win or lose, they put it all on the line and play the game of the year.

Done thinking about this one - on to Game 7 and an amazing effort.

Yeah, it was the way they lost, not just that they did which is the concern.

Not even close to good enough. They've handed a huge confidence boost to the Oilers with that performance. Unless the can dominate early in Game 7, they may have lost it.

I have to wonder how he would do with decent d in front of him.

There was also the spear to the nads (clearly intentional) - no call, no review.

Somehow, I can't picture JT doing a semi-nude photo shoot.

Yes, worse thing they can do is allow Edmonton to dictate play. That just won't work at this stage.

I'm picturing a recording of some set whine pieces they play on the jumbotron (or whatever Edmonton has) during stoppages.

The Oilers are going to come out desperate and fast. If the Canucks can weather the first five minutes or so, and settle down and play their game, I think they should be able end this, especially if their top 3 are as tired as they looked in Game 5. I have a naive hope that the officials review the games in detail and are aware of some of the embellishment happening and either call it or at least not make the bad call. There have been some really bad calls in this series and hopefully the series won't be decided on one of them.

Nope, not done yet. 4th win is a tough one.

Canada's team??? In what Universe?

One of the more complete games. And how good they can be when firing on all cylinders.

He left his feet so that call is going to be made most times.

It helps that they are keeping to the on-off schedule. An extra day's rest before Game 6 would give McD time to recover a bit. Hopefully he is spent for Game 6.

Absolutely. They are going to play crazy hard in an elimination game. Closing out against the Oilers is going to take a huge effort.

What the Canucks can do when everyone is playing hard. So good.

BS call.

Yeah, could be. Huge 20 minutes coming up.

Still 40 minutes to go - Canucks more than capable of coming back.

Cole is the weak link this series
