And even they’re only 12 points out of the second wildcard. Extremely unlikely but if they get hot, they could find themselves back in the conversation.
Detroit is bipolar. This month they go from comfortably beating the Jets, Capitals, and Florida to only scoring 3 goals in 3 games then back to beating one of the hottest teams in the league
@@TheRealSwissball The funny thing is that they have actually been winning despite their star talents lol. Goals tonight from Edstrom, Schneider, Chytil, and Smith. Their bottom 6 players are really contributing. Bottom defensive pairs have also been solid. "It Takes Everyone" actually means something now.
The coaching staff made the necessary adjustments. I love the 4th line. Mika has improved slightly but he may be done. Krieder should get going eventually. Miller is still a turn over machine. Igor looks better.
The Canes have had this crazy ability to form a defensive shield when their goalie isn’t at his best. This is a minor example, since the game tonight relied on offense as much or more than defense, but I’m reminded of Ayres, and how the Canes always seem to pull out this secret extra level of defensive play when their goalie isn’t confident.
I texted my buddy I go to Utah home games with saying “dude you gotta tune into Disney+, Meredith from the office is at the game.” The actress from the office was definitely at the game and in some box. It was weird that they kept cutting to her in some suite box, but they did finally mention that it was in fact her later on. She joined in on some intermission ice activities at some point, but wow, have never seen an actress look sooooo much like her character in the outside world. Glad Utah got a shutout for Vejmelka. Kellers wrist shot during the power play was one of the coolest thing I’ve seen him do this year. We’ll see if they can keep this momentum tomorrow during the Jets rematch.
We get Chelsey Green a lot for Vancouver games, she's a WWE woman's Champion, from Victoria👍... and a hell of a lot tougher than 2/3's of the Canucks team this year.... Go Chelsea !
Five Canucks skaters finished with zero shots: - Mark Friedman - Vinny Desharnais - Kiefer Sherwood (left early) - Conor Garland - Elias Pettersson The first four guys add up to $9.225 million. EP40 is $11.6 million on his own.
30:36 Protas has made such a big step this season. He, Dubois, and Wilson make such a coherent line. Great for Lindgren to get a shutout in his return game. Caps somehow playing to their goalies strength - breakaway shots only.😂
JT Miller had 4 goals in his first 7 games. Only 4 goals in 30 games since. Something has to give eventually...right? Maybe a coaching change is the answer? Just a bizarre season.
Vcr already has the record for most coaching changes by averages. They COULD make history & be the first team to have a Coach o' the Year, & fire him the next season. E Wouldn't surprise me if they did...they seem to like being in the Headlines😅
If Smith doesn't get suspended then it's because Parros played for the kings and ducks and just hates the Sharks. That hit had clear intent to injure behind it
Outstanding effort by Rangers defensemen. All six had a points in last night's game! This was the 2nd no mercy win in a row for them. I wonder - what's the all time THG record for consecutive no mercy wins by a single team?
VC need to NOT make a stupid trade that will set them back for years. This is a lost season. Accept that. Come back after the break and fight for WC2 so ownership gets their two home playoff games. Yes, you'll likely get smoked by EDM, VGK or WPG in round one. But then you have all summer... To remake the team via non-desperation hockey trades. To see if Demko is through or just needs more time to heal. To see if Petey finally grows up. And to just forget about 2024-2025.
Demko to LTIR, use Millsy and Hoglander as trade bait for a solid back-up netminder and Keep Silovs in Abby where he seems to really fit in ... I hate the Idea of trading Miller, but I think he really wants to be somewhere else (and you can't trade Tocchet. It's not his fault but maybe he's the issue?) Trade Desharnais and Juulsen for a bag of pucks and 3 rolls of stick tape, add DiGiuseppe and maybe get a third pairing young D-man. I'm at a total 1000% loss on this year's Canucks, so, HELP THG, we need your wisdom.... thanks for always being that damn good Shannon 👍👍
Its tough being a Sharks fan, but once we are good again, we will look back at these times and remember how rough we had it. Every team goes through rough patches
As an Oilers fan I obviously don’t watch Vancouver much, but what is going on with that team? Because from Saturday to now they looked like 2 completely different teams. Is it just the noise with all the Miller/EP drama seeping in? It’s such a crazy turn around to see after last year.
The oiler fan in me wants to cheer for nucks' downfall, but also its kinda depressing watching a ship sink so slowly and no one is grabbing the buckets to try stop it
Garland basically admitted to cheating by holding down the best player in the world, so the booing was unsurprising. It felt like the Oilers were going to avenge themselves, and they did.
He was the one who illegally tackled McDavid down to the ice for 15 seconds to take him out of the play. Let's not act ignorant. Canucks fans would do the same to Perry if he goaded Hughes into taking a 3 game suspension.
I don't mind the booing, I'd do the same in their position, it's part of the game. The only thing I do take issue with is any Oilers fans who think McD shouldn't have even been suspended at all.
@Claire-q9u I think most fans agree he should have been suspended. 3 is weirdly high but that doesn't even matter much. What Oilers fans are actually saying is that they don't blame Mcdavid or are glad he's sticking up for himself. Like Crosby said all anyone sees is the clipped retaliation they don't see the 9 things leading up to it. What Garland did wasn't abnormal for Mcdavid to have to deal with and that's the problem.
Canucks be like, its not Saturday so its our day off, leave us alone
Lol.....this.....
Canucks on their way to go 82-0 if they played all their games on Saturday /j
“Canucks respond to Tocchet's disappointment in their performance against Buffalo by being even worse tonight”. - Satiar Shah
I love how the Flames are The Team That Wouldn't Go Away. We can't score worth a damn, but goaltending and team play have kept us in it.
Yes..GFG
Protas legitimately could become the league's best value contract.
Four more years at ~3.4m
Most satisfying win of the year for the Oilers.
Atlantic is brutal. Everyone except Sabres are in the hunt for playoffs

Not only beating one of the hottest teams but they made it casually look easy
They lost some tough road games. Can't expect them to win them all. Interesting rematch against Tampa at home now.
Nobody:
The New York Rangers: sitting up like the undertaker
I knew they had too much talent to continue to be as bad as they were, even with the mess they seemed to be in.

Do you notice how good Miller has been since being paired with Borgen? I hope Borgen stays.
The coaching staff made the necessary adjustments. I love the 4th line. Mika has improved slightly but he may be done. Krieder should get going eventually. Miller is still a turn over machine. Igor looks better.

It's basically just Jaccob Slavin picking up the slack when he notices the goalie isn't there that evening
Forgot to mention that the Raymond assist was NASTY.
Thatcher Demko's save percentage drops to .867 in 12 starts on the season.

"Best team in the NHL, the Caps are."- Yoda
At the moment they are! But the oilers are not far behind and with a goalie like Thompson 8n their net....
Myers was our secret weapon the whole time...

Started watching the game and with in first period I knew that Oilers were over powering the Canucks. Besides it was not Saturday. :) Thank you.
i check out the standings earlier. if the loser point didn’t exist the canucks would be BENEATH seattle in the standings. truly a breathtaking team
30:36 Protas has made such a big step this season. He, Dubois, and Wilson make such a coherent line. Great for Lindgren to get a shutout in his return game. Caps somehow playing to their goalies strength - breakaway shots only.😂
Last two Preds / Sharks games were both ridiculous and epic at the same time
Poor Lindy Ruff 😢
Love seeing that Jersey for a review!
The pass Raymond made on the Debrincat goal was a filthy move.
At least the Sharks are scoring well, right? 😅
Lol, maybe try scoring five when the other other team doesn’t score 6 😂
(All in good fun I’m not being serious)
Shannon ran out of magnets !!...
JT Miller had 4 goals in his first 7 games. Only 4 goals in 30 games since. Something has to give eventually...right? Maybe a coaching change is the answer? Just a bizarre season.
His line was +2 tonight. Only line that played any good.
He has 14 points in his last 15 games. So he’s NOT the problem.
Vcr already has the record for most coaching changes by averages.
They COULD make history & be the first team to have a Coach o' the Year, & fire him the next season.
E
Wouldn't surprise me if they did...they seem to like being in the Headlines😅
If Smith doesn't get suspended then it's because Parros played for the kings and ducks and just hates the Sharks. That hit had clear intent to injure behind it

This was the 2nd no mercy win in a row for them. I wonder - what's the all time THG record for consecutive no mercy wins by a single team?
Utah vs Minn. I saw Meredith on the ice during intermission in the arena feed, love ur vids
I never thought I’d be this early when I just randomly check if THG had posted yet
> Svechkov
Nashville development system will turn anyone into a good middle-6 forward or a good to excellent D-man.
Canucks look lost so lost...
Yep. Ottawa upsetting me again.
Fun fact: JT Miller has 14 points in his last 15 games.
VC need to NOT make a stupid trade that will set them back for years.
This is a lost season. Accept that.
Come back after the break and fight for WC2 so ownership gets their two home playoff games.
Yes, you'll likely get smoked by EDM, VGK or WPG in round one.
But then you have all summer...
To remake the team via non-desperation hockey trades.
To see if Demko is through or just needs more time to heal.
To see if Petey finally grows up.

what in the is that jersey...?
Can we give the Sharks & Preds an honorary round in the playoffs?
Its tough being a Sharks fan, but once we are good again, we will look back at these times and remember how rough we had it. Every team goes through rough patches
I'll be solo traveling to the game in San jose for the 6th to watch the equally bad canucks ! We can watch the battle of the bums haha
Minnesota Wild had a theme night 2000's night. There was a chance to meet Kate Flannery with a ticket purchase.
Oilers goals
1 goal on 5 shots
2 goals on 9 shots
3 goals on 10 shots
4 goals on 15 shots
5 goals on 22 shots
6 goals on 32 shots
Canucks need a coaching change, only a few players are even trying and their lines suck
Trading a few players probably won't even help.
As an Oilers fan I obviously don’t watch Vancouver much, but what is going on with that team? Because from Saturday to now they looked like 2 completely different teams. Is it just the noise with all the Miller/EP drama seeping in? It’s such a crazy turn around to see after last year.

7-4 (yeah... over .500, first time this week.)
LET’S GO RANGERS 🔵⚪️🔴⚪️🔵
Preds are coming to the playoffs calling it here
great to the Rangers jump three spots with their win tonight and just one point behind the current wild card holders
Perry was awesome this game such a smart player. Tocchet looked old and expired
The kind of playa ru hate unless hes on ur team
Garland basically admitted to cheating by holding down the best player in the world, so the booing was unsurprising. It felt like the Oilers were going to avenge themselves, and they did.
You can’t tell me that there’s a more miserable fanbase than the Canucks right now. Last season feels like a dream.
Tocchet looks lost behind the bench.. maybe its time. Sigh
They got to to trade a player first. No reason to fire the coach and then trade the player.
Cole Smith will get suspended, he was looking for revenge and blindsided the Sharks player. 3 games is my guess.
Playing Monty was a brutal call. I question MSL’s loyalty to his goalie. Should have stuck with the tandem and played Dobès 🥅
pens get stomped by everyone week after week, 3rd worst team in the league, yet 2nd row on the board.
Good to see some things never change.
Oilers fans booing Garland as if it wasnt HIM that got crosschecked in the face by McDavid 😂.
He was the one who illegally tackled McDavid down to the ice for 15 seconds to take him out of the play. Let's not act ignorant. Canucks fans would do the same to Perry if he goaded Hughes into taking a 3 game suspension.
You have to admit Canucks fans laughing at the Oilers while their own organization is falling apart is quite a bit funnier
I don't mind the booing, I'd do the same in their position, it's part of the game. The only thing I do take issue with is any Oilers fans who think McD shouldn't have even been suspended at all.
Those people are brain dead for sure. But (i hope) most agree suspension was fair but Garland shouldn’t be rewarded for being a cheater.
@Claire-q9u I think most fans agree he should have been suspended. 3 is weirdly high but that doesn't even matter much. What Oilers fans are actually saying is that they don't blame Mcdavid or are glad he's sticking up for himself.

canucks just look lost, except for pettey, hughes and boeser
Yeah. One of those names doesn’t belong there WHATSOEVER! I’ll give you a hint. 🧁
Ovechkin scored, literally nothing else matters for tonight.
Canucks game also matters. They are in a death spiral, will be gracious hosts for Ovi on Saturday
I thought Vegas lost
To get even, the Canucks will trade JT Miller to Vegas. There is no way the Oilers can beat Vegas with Miller on that team
Miller is a useless bum and locker room cancer so I'll be happy if any western team is dumb enough to trade for him
It would be a very Vegas trade
