Vancouver seems like a perfectly built team to handle oilers, couple of good shutdown centers, enough attack to outscore, sizeable defensive play makers, amazing goal tending. But OIlers are a very deep team, there defense is underrated, goalie look good. Damn this is going to be a good series.

Yes they can. Demko is great but silovs and desmith are very capable.

HOLY 💩 a video NOT about the Leafs!!!

I mean, the real question is "does Silovs have what it takes to play against an offensive juggernaut like Edmonton?" We've seen him already do so much in his early 20's, but he can really make a name for himself as the next Cam Ward if he does the improbable and carries Vancouver to an upset here. Canucks have been one of the best defensive teams all year long -- right up there with the likes of the Hurricanes and the Stars. They've shown that they win games because they only rely on their goalie to bail them out when they absolutely have to. Aside from a few blunders, Vancouver's defense was super clean from all 18 skaters throughout the entire series and the real issue was with special teams and offensive production. If those two areas get addressed properly before Game 1 and the defense remains robust, this should be a long series regardless of who shows up in net.

Hockey history is replate with stories of rookie goalies who were thrown into action in the NHL playoffs and led their team to greatness, going back as far as Ken Dryden in 1971. So yes, based on how Silovs played against The Preds it can happen.

Farhan looks like he just came from the star trek set 😂😂😂😂

The Canucks have been underestimated from the beginning of the season. They aren't even supposed to be in the playoffs let alone make it to round 2. Even now the odds on every sports betting app or whatever are in Edmontons favor to win the series. Nobody is expecting the Canucks to make it past Edmonton to the western conference final or to make it to play for the cup. Go on keep underestimating the Canucks. We'll see what happens.

One goal in 18 games is NOT what $11.6M is supposed to buy you.

The Oilers will give the young Canucks goalie a reality check.

Curious to see how the Oilers play this series, they were able to beat LA at their own game playing even better at it than LA did, and we saw how well LA did playing like that against the Canucks in the regular season so Edmonton could always do that and make it really hard for the Canucks, or they can just go and score a bunch of goals and hope it's enough.

Oilers team is almost all canadian players. Thats a factor. I'm cheering for canucks but its going to be tough.

Skinner isn’t as good as Saros. Oilers’ defence isn’t as tight as the Preds. There’ll definitely be more room for Canucks to make something happen. Also, I doubt the Oilers will be sacrificing their bodies, blocking shots like Nashville did. 30+ blocked shots in Game 2 I think. Insane. Regardless, series could still go either ways.

Go Canada 🇨🇦

Patrick Roy was so good as a rookie. Right from the start he was great. Not sure if one can put Silovs at that level unless he takes the team to the cup. This series like Nashville will be super even. I can see the Oilers win a game or two outright, but in the end could easily go 7 games. Much to me depends on how the games are called. The refs can win it or lose it for the Canucks. No phantom or cheap calls. Dryden was different than Roy. He did not look as good, but rarely lost. Was solid and played his angles well.. Was great by the end of the season. He looked like he was in his tenth season. Like a vetran player.

Oilers vs Colorado WCF

Oilers absolutely flipped the Switch ⚡😁🇨🇦

SILOVS IS BETTER ANYWAYS HES A BLESSING

They can't beat the Oilers with him

Luongo > Thomas. HOF > Mental Patient.

Yes

You asked the exact same thing with nashville. Many times.

McDavid is in play maker mode. So Hyman and Leon will be the shooters. Something to watch.

Yeah the Canucks are going to get steamrolled by the Oilers in this series. ESPN has a analysis / break down on how every NHL analyst thinks the series is going to play out (the ones that made their opinion known), and 23 out of 24 of the analysts have Edmonton taking this series in 6 games at most. There was just 1 analyst that thought Vancouver will win it, and their prediction was Canucks in 7 games.

The Canucks have to score head to head as they can do that they will have a great series but power play is the difference

Called adversity, that brings a team together..and the phrase " a different animal " its like the media are reading each others press . Go Canucks 🤟🤟

I remember the first game Canucks played this season. It was a spanking to Edmonton. 9-1

Vancouver has shown the haters that they are a real club. They should be proud of the work they did. That being said, the Oilers are, IMO too much offence to handle. The regular season is different hockey. 29, 97, & 18 will not be stopped by the backend of Van.

Oilers are mature, experienced, and talented. Canucks had a lucky season.

Oilers got this 💯 💯 lets get it 💪

Pettersson sick, Demko injured, penalty call disparity so far, but Canucks don't care they are playing for each other and the City not individual legacies.

Gonna just hope the physical play of the Canucks can somewhat wear down the Oilers stars

of all 8 remaining teams I think Canucks have the best chance to win against Oilers.

The oilers got fire power it’s all about defence for the Canucks is very key we can score head to head but if the canucks get in penalties they will be peppered Arthur will be great but he can’t stop that power play

Can the Oilers win with skinner being a sieve?

The only thing the Nux 3rd string goalie will be saying after game 1 is...did someone get the license plate number of that truck?

Oil in 5 it's inevitably is high

Mcdavid going to rip that team apart. Let’s go Oilers!!!!!! 🗣️💙🧡

Silovs is legit. Dont sleep on Vancouver.

What about can the oilers handle Vancouver with their bad defense and goaltending

Farhan please keep the mic under your chin. Waving it around doesn't help you at all

Oilers are due for a sweep. Hughes and Petty are soft. Silov is going to get humbled. Knobsy has an offesnsive powerhouse playing defense at the right time of year. Good luck Vancouver.

Can the Oilers handle the Canucks total game and since they swept them during the season? Stop asking how the Canucks will handle them

The difference is not going to be goal tending unless one of them goes lights out. Id say Skinner is on the same level as De Smith or Silovs, just meh. Demko might steal a game or two but the number one game deciding game plan willbe to shut down Quinn Hughes. PERIOD. Quinn Hughes is involved in literally every single Canucks goal whether he gets a point or not. If they shut down Hughes they will win , if not it will be close. Nashville shutdown Hughes and almost pulled it off, who knows.

Nashville played a shutdown game and Canucks rised to their style of game. Edmonton did block more but it's a different kind of D. Skinner is not Saros. It's an open series.

Why are Canucks fans so cocky? I’m an Oilers fan and I know it’s going to be a tough matchup. But why do Canucks fans think Oilers are just going to roll over and die for them? It makes no sense to me.

$11,000,000/year for eight years . Pretty nice pay days and scoring on a 4 goals per year pace . I'd call that a very poor return on investment . To get rid of the dud you're going to have to pick up part of his salary and that will make the whole team worst off . Smart management NOT

Canucks were beaten by the Kings 1-3-1 during the regular season. Look for the Oilers to do the same. The Oilers could play defensive hockey when they shut out the Kings in game 4.

Thought the title should probably be something like "What can the Oilers do to solve the Vancouver Canucks".

yall got it fucked up lol

I personally think edmonton is going to smack them up and down the ice. They have a grudge, they’re hot, they have the numbers, I think they’ll slap them silly

Oil in 6. Let's go Oilers!!!

"Can Canucks handle the Oilers without Demko?" Sure, so long as they don't stand around in the middle of the ice like LA did.

No

gonna be fun Canucks have been learning to play D not sure it will be enough but we did add Zadorov and Lindholm so we'll see if McD can be shut down-can Arty party continue--can Petey return from the dead and so on

Huge assist on the series clinchin goal? He had one option to advance the puck along the boards to Boeser. All three points were secondary assists that any NHLer could tally. And it's not 1 goal in 19. It's more like 2 ES goals in over 30. Man, talk about edifying a nothing play.

The oilers couldnt beat desmith all season. This series is going to go the distance

Oilers look lost.

The Oilers are a 3 person , regular season built team..... Canucks in 6

Does this series even matter because I doubt either team can beat the Avs

it looks like he's stirring a pot and mashing some potatoes with that mic, does he know the mic is how we hear him? if he keeps moving the mic away from his face while talking...

Go oilers go,beat the americanucks.The oilers are a mostly Canadian club in Canada while the Canucks has er…two Canadians!

Oilers in 4. Maybe 5 if Skinner has a bad game. Canuck fans need to wake up. This isn't the same team in the beginning of the year and they had their A players out of the last game.

The playoff oilers are a mean fast goal scoring machine and the canucks are in for a beating ..oilers in 5 or 6 ...maybe even 4 ....this is not the regular season anymore ...different animal!!

. Canucks fan obviously . Im from Vancouver. I think the Oilers are going to win the Stanley cup actually . We are clearly the underdog but it would be magical if the Canucks somehow pulled an upset. I give them a 25 % chance cuz sometimes a 'lil team that could' comes outta nowhere in playoff hockey . lol . Our city needs this .

Come on, oilers won’t block 50 shots a game like the preds, oilers aren’t built that way

Come on, Edmonton's defence is no where near as strong as Nashvilles, Skinner is no where near the goaltender that Paros is and if Edmonton doesn't go on the power play they don't score and it's okay if Petey only has 1 goal in 19 games, they're not paying him 11 mill a year yet. Vancouver in 6!

If Demko was 100% healthy, I’d say Canucks win the series in 5. They could even win it in 4 if Pettersson decided to show up…

I dont know why the early games are so discounted. Perhaps part of the Oilers woes were the canucks beating the confidence out of them to start the season. It's not everything, but its not nothing

They will be paying him around 12 mil! Your getting into Austin, Nate, and Conner country. Who would you rather have?

No.

Keep Hymen out of the NET!!!

Canucks 🇨🇦😁

Canucks in 6

Silovs > Skinner

They can’t handle the oilers with demko

Love to cheer for the underdog 😂but finally not in this case 🇨🇦

Relax Fahan, Canucks gonna score more goals against Oilers. Oilers and Preds are completely different defensive team.

If Petterson couldn’t find his game against the Preds,it’s not getting easier against the mighty Oilers..

Oilers in 4-5. Canucks fans are grasping at straws with this rookie goalie preforming well against one of the worst teams in the playoffs who they barely beat.

This question has been answered. The question is, “can the Canucks win without Pettersson and Hoglander?”.

Will the canucks win a game? There fixed your title.😊Will Vancouver's two stars demand a trade after loseing to oilers? Is another good title.😂

Don't think anybody should be worried playing a one man team like the Oilers.

Skinner is a Prince Ruperts Drop.... Goaltending and underdeveloped Organizational Maturity driving a Lack of consistent Discipline are the Oilers 3 major weaknesses....the most difficult 3 to overcome. Listening to the Oilers players tell us how MATURE they think they are 1 million times over 82 Games in Pre-Game and Post-Game interviews just became annoying and an obvious attempt to pro-actively remove the Officials power and impacts from the games.....very dirty pool against the Reffs IMHO..... Oilers propaganda...that is going to backfire totally...for gods sakes the Oilers brought in guys like Kane and Perry and Carrick and other lunkheads with serious discipline problems thinking they would have to fight through ugly rough house physical games.....the Oilers are truly behind the times and NHLs Evolution, Mcdavid has stopped them from Evolving, there ARE NOT going to be any Neanderthal Teams winning the Stanley Cup for another 20 years. The NHL has just evolved into a NewAge of exciting high energy Offense....nobodies going back to make the Oilers and Mcdavid slap-happy...time moves on....the Oilers failed to do that and are now stuck with a Group of problem-child misfits who are prone to bonehead plays regularly.

Pray for goalies 🇨🇦🇺🇸😁

Gino Trump 😂

The real question is can the deadmonton oilers handle those orcha’s

I swear Vancouver has the most in secure fans. Maybe earn some respect in the post season before screaming in the comments of every video predicting edmonton to win (which is most of them)

No you and your family can

Wow these Posts. Edmonton fans per usual. Egos as big as Edmonton is and as flat as alberta.

Canucks all day

Can the Oilers handle the Heavier Harder playing Canucks fixed your title

What has canucks ever won Keep trying keyboard warriors Oilers in 5

No😂hoping Demko a speedy recovery 🇨🇦

Yes
