Quinn Hughes on this team's belief: It starts in September. It started last year and trying to get us to believe and try to get the stink out of here from the previous years. #Canucks @Sportsnet650

Lindholm said the Oilers were trying to yell from the bench about how much time was left on the clock at the end, but they couldn’t hear because of how loud #Canucks fans were.

“The crowd was really good for us.”

[Sportsnet650] Festerling to Miller on #Canucks Post Game Show: "I watched Teemu Selanne practice that chip every single day, was that off the cuff or do you practice that?" JT: "Listen I've practiced that every day for 10 years & I've never had 1 go in. It worked perfect, little fortunate"

Gotta love Swedish Center Superstar Elias!!!!!

Leafs (cause why not) and oilers fans how you doing.....

What that game really showed me was if we get a healthy Demko which is a big ask we have as good a chance as anyone

Thanks nyn.

Lindholm had a heck of a game!

Lindholm and Petey are both Elias

Yup, they need to re-sign him.

Depends on the ask. He's all ready slowing down but he's had a great playoffs so far. He's a 50 60 pt guy realistically that is excellent defensively. You can't give him more than what 5.5? 5? He's gonna get more. Zadorov is the only must imo.

If Hronek can't be signed he can be traded

Does anyone remember that time the Canucks came back down 3 to beat the oilers in the playoffs? It seems like only yesterday.....

Is this a Jim Benning burner account?

It's good that they won, but adjustments need to be made, and they need to clean up their mistakes going forwards. It's still probably going to be a long series either way, but it's the first step.

Can be said for both teams. I think you'll see a bit better execution on each side next game, as well as some tactical changes.

Wonder if they'll stick with Silovs or go back to DeSmith despite the W

At this point I'd give Zadorov 10 mill a year.... channeling my inner Gillis/Benning

Silovs again and I bet he's absolute fire

- VanHockeyGuy

2.9 million per hit.

Excellent value.

Stick with the winning goalie.

McDavid 3 hits, 4.16 million per hit.

Great game, great blog

Benning would have given Lindholm 8X8 with a NMC on the day of the trade.

Edmonton gives up so much more defensively than the Preds. This series is going to be a roller coaster.

Yeah McD was invisible. Expect different next game.

Good to see Hogs and Garland show up...still waiting for Petey.

Ya that was a huge point coming in to this series. The Preds are relentless: they pressure everywhere as a unit and don't give an inch. The Oilers are more willing to sit back and use their speed and skill to counter. Van forwards are probably breathing much easier out there
