Tough break losing in OT. Just need to go into Edmonton and steal one to get home ice back. Go Canucks! Thank you for your support. Yeah, that was a tough loss. Unlike the first game the Canucks weren't able to contain Connor McDavid; that breakaway goal he scored was a thing of beauty. Not a fan of McDavid's blood-drawing high-stick (it looked intentional AF) on Quinn Hughes which the refs missed. However, apparently the refs also missed a too-many-men penalty against Vancouver just before the Canucks scored their third goal so I guess the flubbed calls balanced out. Based on the way the Oilers outplayed them in the third period the Canucks are very fortunate the game went to OT. Hopefully they can take at least one of the two games in Edmonton. GO, CANUCKS, GO!!!!! |

Home ice back in Vancouver's favor. Got to keep on rolling and finish Edmonton off.

Home ice back in Vancouver's favor. Got to keep on rolling and finish Edmonton off. Thank you. While I was happy to see them get the victory that was a game the Canucks had no business winning as the Oilers outshot them 45-18! Vancouver had better goaltending and that's what got them the win. It looks like we might be without Carson Soucy for Game 4 as he has a disciplinary hearing with the NHL today for his cross-check to Connor McDavid after the game. While it was definitely a reckless play and his stick DID make contact with McDavid's head it appears like he was aiming for his chest and the reason it caught him in the head was because Nikita Zadorov cross-checked McDavid from behind. Zadorov was fined $5000 for the incident. If Soucy does get suspended hopefully it's not for more than one game. Considering that they didn't suspend an Oiler for spearing a Canucks player right in the man-zone I don't know how the league can justify more than one game for Soucy's actions! |

Tough loss. Vancouver fell behind and came back to tie it late. Looked like they were going to OT again but gave up a late goal. That's ok. They head home and will win there. Then just need one more win to move on.

Then just need one more win to move on. Thank you. Yeah, that was a tough one to lose. When they tied it up late I was thinking that somehow they were going to pull out a victory only for those hopes to be dashed about a minute later. I was watching the game with my Mom & my oldest nephew and I think he jinxed it by saying that it looked like the game was headed to overtime after the Canucks tied it up. While I was THINKING the same thing I didn't dare say it out loud. |

Sweet win. Just one more and West Finals bound. Thank you. That was probably their best game of the series. They killed off all five penalties, put 34 shots on net, kept Connor McDavid in check and got the victory. Reportedly Rick Tocchet gave them a stern talking-to about their effort after the last game. Clearly they got the message tonight. Still one more win to go though. Hopefully they can close things out on Saturday night. GO, CANUCKS, GO!!!!! |

That's got me feeling like: 😟😟😟😟 However, like you I still have faith the Canucks will find a way to pull out the Game 7 victory. GO CANUCKS GO!!!! |
