Après avoir perdu le cinquième match à Vancouver, les Oilers sont revenus pour remporter les matchs 6 et 7 pour battre les Canucks et se qualifier pour la finale de la Conférence Ouest contre les Stars. Le directeur du dépistage de TSN, Craig Button, se joint à SC avec Jay Onrait pour discuter des moments clés qui ont aidé les Oilers à remporter le match 7, de ce qui a changé pour qu’Edmonton remporte la série et des grands enseignements de la performance d’Elias Pettersson dans cette série pour Vancouver.

Thank you Knucks fans who claimed they owned us, Thanks to the Knucks fans who cried about the refs, Thanks to the Knucks fans who throw garbage on their own ice, Thanks to the Knucks fans who tried to intimidate Skinner, Thanks for the useless chirps, ENJOY the offseason yea TOXIC fucks 👍
Oilers won with Defense, blocking shots non stop, simple strategy
Craig button is saying the oilers are good defensively 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
It's hard to really argue with Knoblauch's results…but the Oilers were near the top of the league in nearly all defensive measures except they had league worst goaltending until maybe 20 games in. At the same time, they were also near the top of the league offensively, but with an unusually low shooting %, which would inevitably sort itself out.
They were probably just a really good team experiencing a historical goaltending slump in the first month. A little while later, things averaged out and they went on ridiculous winning streaks.
The result is that they have been both overrated and underated going into the playoffs. They are just a good all-around team (not unbeatable ) who have seen some iffy goaltending for a couple of stretches.
Pretty easy to come back when your opponent shows up for 10 total minutes the final two games.
Surprised the Canucks weren't able to overcome the Oilers' defense and blocking their shots! They played quite well against Nashville's defensive system which is arguably stronger than the Oilers'. I would've thought they would have learned from that experience.
Out coached. Period. Canucks didnt change their strategy AT ALL for 3 games. Attempted the samr forced plays over and over and over . Like the powerplay ZERO one timers they NEVER setup on the off wing. Damn so frustrating to watch
The best team won! The Canucks only won 7, maybe 8, periods the whole series
They won 2 games in a row vs a team, thats how. lmao tsn, this series wasnt even close if it wasnt for Vancouver's never again lucky rooke goaltending
Because Vancouver fell apart after Game 5. Beat themselves
Though no one outside Edmonton will admit it, it was the Oilers team D that won this series.
Forget about the canucks D blocking shots… they couldn't block sunlight
Keep rolling oil
What a dumb title. The Oilers didn't "come back" from anything. Each team traded wins until game 7. They were never down 2-0 or 3-0 or 3-1.
It's pretty simple, they are and always were the better team. Had Skinner played well early in the series this easily would have been an Oiler sweep. This series was no where near as close as it looked
Can they find someone, anyone, besides Craig Button for these? The guy speaks with so much authority, exaggerated intensity yet somehow never really says anything that isn’t obvious to any fan.
Fucked up the team for a decade with that contract
Canucks can’t rely on flukey goals all the time. Oilers’ execution was a lot better.
Peterson was a ghost
Oilers are happy Peterson was absent
I bet Dallas fans wanted an easy hurt canucks team over the best team in the nhl
Vancouver Canucks = / ~ Maple Leafs of the West
A History of Failure Since 1970
Bring the cup back Canada 🇨🇦🇨🇦 🏆🏆Edmonton oilers let’s go oilers
The Oilers didn’t take the game. The Canucks actually gave the game to the Oilers.
Oilers should have won game 1 and Game 3. Just bad goaltending really. Team deserved a win and Vancouver deserved to lose.
by being the better team
Oilers played easy opponents as opposed to the other series in the playoffs and barely won both. I doubt they will beat Dallas
The Canucks choked royally!
The Stars will dispatch the Oilers in 5 games while the Rangers will beat the Panthers 4 games to 3 to set up Gary Bettman’s dream Stanley Cup Final: Dallas v. New York.
