The community around Austin's content is very chill. Were about enjoying the sport we like without the excessive mud slinging some of the other communities do. Cheers and hope to see ya in the stream chat some time for a game!

Hahaha me too

Agreed! I’m a Flames fan, and I like this channel. The rivalry is purely about having fun for me. Cheers!

Agree. But anything can happen! Its not over till its over! Stars were down like this too and came out on top against Vegas in game 7! Just, collect ourselves and try our best. Do or die.

He will

He’s one of those players you love to have but hate on the other team. Canucks fans feel this way about Kane

I would actually argue the oilers roster is actually pretty classy, Kane how ever I can’t be bothered

I doubt they would put Demko in. Silov is doing fine and is used to the intensity. I think he will stay I bet.

Tbh, I don’t see either Van nor Edm beating Dallas this year.

Nux fan here and I think so lol. But they won't go down without a fight!

Yes, still anyone's game. Oiler fans shouldn't be writing the series off.

I think they will do that next game. They did that in game 4 and I think that was the only game nuge scored. Not sure why they changed Strat. But I will take it.

McLeod and Perry have been terrible though. Only Holloway has been good in the 3rd line.

There is a considerable amount of Vancouver pods that do post-game commentary (start with the Hockey Guy, or Donnie and Dhali, or Sekeres and Price). Once you watch one, your feed should start recommending you a LOT more. You inadvertently started with an Oilers based pod, and it skewed your recommended list.

Yeah I e seen quite a few Canucks pods after their games, I never even knew they existed but now I watch them after every game!!

@@looker316 thanks, probably got caught in the algo maze. I do watch the hockey guy.

@@thedailydegenyeah bro I think it’s just which aisle of the KZfaq algorithm maze that you first wander down. I am a bandwagon Canucks fan (my autistic older brother has been a diehard fan since he was a child) and I searched for a few highlights, prediction type videos on this series and now my feed on KZfaq is like 50% Canucks

Notice how the league at least stopped the game to review the canucks goals.... did they review the oilers g4 gwg? Nope! Even if the review was wrong.

whats zomg?

@@user-oq5pq6xe2h means Oilers fans thinking their team is ultra amazing because their good players played a ton in the first 3 games.... but now they are gassed and looked terrible soooo

@@GreenBeanGreenBean Zomg. Interesting. Never heard that before but I'll take your word for it mr. bean.

I think I have used the Austin Hockey Guarantee once all season, it's used sparingly, but there will be a game 7!

@@AHockey1993 well crap. Then you’d better not use it in game seven, or I’ll have to report you for witchcraft.

I think Pickard deserves to start game 6, but wouldn't be surprised if they went back to Skinner

Good observation. And contrast his excuse with JT’s apologizing to Tocchet for playing a poor game in game four.

Hahaha McDavid blaming bad luck bounces, Leon blaming the goal posts for not scoring, HAHHAAH I’m sorry but that’s hilarious and very pathetic!! As for Leon, shoot the puck better, the posts don’t move so obviously the goalie is taking away the rest of the net and as for bad luck bounces, yea it seems like some nights ppl get zero puck luck but you gotta find a way to get past it instead of whining about it after the game, honestly makes them look like a bunch of spoiled little brats that haven’t been getting their way!!!

At first glance, yes it looks like McDavid missed his assignment. However, Pettersson and Lindholm were on the ice. I'm an Oilers fan, so I'm not current on the Canucks lineup. It looked like McDavid was covering slot and Miller came in on a stealth change. The broken play at the blue line (where the Canucks were able to block the full breakout and bring the puck back in and gain the zone as Eckholm changed out) lead to the oddman situation that basically lead to the Miller goal. The way Pettersson guided the puck to the left net front makes me think that there was a set play there. Obviously, banking it off the post and to Miller was not planned, but I think he was generally trying to put the puck to the weak side, where it ended up anyways. If there is one takeaway from this series, I think a lot of the Canucks' supposed luck is actually generated from set type of plays that are executed in a fluid manner-in a sort of very situational and not not forced way, that results in the opposition not expecting at all kind of way. It's like they, as a team, react instinctively to what the opposition gives them and they've got sneaky good plays for it. If the Oilers are striking type of MMA fighter that rely on volume strikes, the Canucks are a submission/Jiu jitsu type of fighter. I think of the 4 on 4 goal in game 1 where the Canucks spread our guys out in our zone and started moving the puck more east west. I look at the Canucks coaching staff and others (Sedins, Foote, Tocchet, etc.). These are high pedigree ex players coaching here that have a ton of plays. The Oilers could take a lesson here in terms of offensive play. I know we got 2 of the best forwards blah blah blah, but the rest of the lineup could use more of the juice the Canucks are drinking when it comes to more detailed attacking and counterattacking.

Stecher hasn't played in weeks... I don't even know if he's practicing or not. Haven't heard a thing from the media 😕

Also, really like your honesty of analysis 👍

Corsi for is attempted shots, it’s all including blocked and missed shot attempts.

Sutherland isn't reffing so canucks can win

@@zero604 bad calls have went both ways

@k.m.7351 yeah but none have been so egregious as the ones that Sutherland has called on Vancouver. They've never won a game with him reffing. Like 13 years ago when Sedin was getting repeatedly punched in the face by Marchand and Sedin got a penalty for it. Also why was EP called for charging last night when he wasn't even moving, so ridiculous.

as an Oilers fan this is exactly how they were eliminated last year by Vegas so I won't hold my breath. Doesn't matter, either team will probably be crushed by the Stars anyway.

Stuart Skinner says "hold my beer.." GCG 🟦🟩⬜️

problem with that is then the Canucks will dominate the other 3 lines

His contract is buyout proof. Buying him out would actually be even worse than trotting him out there every night 😔

No team plays 60 minutes, you can watch any playoff series, no one does, they are just 2 wins away from next round so be positive, your top line can take any team any day

Hes been a total muppet since leaving Detroit. 1 great move (Ekholm) is not enough of a tenure here to hang his hat on. I understand other teams dont want to trade with Edmonton, but hes part of the reason why. We need a killer in the back office unafraid to make the moves to build a team around 97, 29, 14, and possibly 2. D- Grade.

@@dakkysmurf F

@@Dawg476 it’s pretty bad but I don’t think he’s done anything catastrophically bad. Just, very bad lol

Nobody who tunes into my channel regularly ever believed Edmonton was significantly "better." In my series preview I said that Vancouver could easily take this series from Edmonton, and that it may come down to goaltending. Most fans and analysts look at the McDavid and Draisaitl factor and think that because two of the best players in the world are on the same team that they should be the consensus to win, but this game requires A LOT more than two players going nuclear. Now we're seeing the effects of riding them too much. Canucks have a massive advantage right now.

@@AHockey1993 nice reply... and I was saying this more in a more general sense....finding it interesting the popular narrative OIlers are much better than the Canucks.

I have been saying the Canucks have been great all series long, they deserve to be up 3-2 and deserved the win last night. Don't come to my channel and make assumptions on how I'm analyzing the games and teams when I have been one of the only Oilers fans on KZfaq giving the Canucks credit every single night =)

Also both can be true, in that Edmonton played poorly and Vancouver played well. It can go both ways 🤷‍♂️

Yo! Canucks fan too… oil win or lose and this guys take on the game is pretty solid with VERY. Limited bias. Having said that, everywhere else, you are absolutely right and I said the same thing. Nobody crediting van, it’s all about what the oil did right or wrong On a oilers KZfaq channel, I expect oil talk

Canucks fan here. This guy is as even keeled as it gets.

@@RobertoMarsalisumm actually most of the Nucks fans I’ve seen commenting on this video have said it’s nice to see someone who’s not completely biased to the team he supports, how is that whining? Those are called compliments, I know oilers aren’t used to getting them but.. hahahah and it is true, most oiler commentators say the oilers played bad, like it had nothing to with the Canucks or any other team playing good! Besides this guy and a few other oiler fans, I can honestly say they are the whiniest, making every excuse in the book!! I guess they get it from Leon and McCrybaby, freakin Leon blaming the posts and captain whiner bitching about everything that doesn’t go his way!! Here’s a hint Leon, learn to hit the net, hitting the posts is the shooters fault, no one else’s as for McBitchy, well maybe he should take some extra naps so he’s not so cranky, maybe keep a baby bottle on the bench, he might be hangry!!! Hahahaha

Yeah, the Canucks pages have some brutal Oiler trolls as well. You're going to get this stuff when two Canadian teams meet - especially these two teams - we both have some outright toxic nutbars in our fanbases. Me, I'm a Canucks fan, but really enjoy this channel and Oilersnation.

@@scrawnyrapierguy that's fair. I enjoy a healthy rivalry but some of the shit I see... the time and effort some guys put in to being just downright vile.. i dont get it. I guess thats sports though

@@user-oq5pq6xe2h Yes, we keep getting reminded that the Oilers won 5 cups 30 or 40 years ago, and the Canucks haven't won one. **edit** Read the comment 2 down from this, by @kagazuki. There is exactly what I just said.

@@carletonrutherford1799 lol a few cups almost 40 years ago is a weak argument, I agree.

One of the big things I'm trying to instill into the community that tunes in regularly on my channel is to be a good sport, be respectful of other fanbases, be positive, and spread love and positivity whenever possible. I've seen the vitriol that's been spread throughout this series and even before that. Edmonton fans are exposed to some brutal media personalities far too often and many people take things way too seriously. I'm an Oilers fan, but I'm a hockey fan first. I really want this channel to be a welcoming place for every fanbase to tune in without getting exposed to the nonsense. Of course there will always be troublemakers but I'll deal with that if/when it arises. Also I will be very quick to call out any BS from my community if I find out they're joining in on the toxicity. There are many new fans here, many younger fans, and many people who just want to enjoy the sport and rivalries without having to get into an argument every 5 minutes. Hockey is the best sport on the planet, and I want everyone here to be good and positive ambassador's of the hockey fanbase =)

Against our 3rd string goalie!!! 👏🏻 slow clap for you guys!! lol

@@daveg-Vancouver_Island so you're saying that you don't have a chance in hell to get the cup this year. Last time Vancouver hockey won a championship was when it was called the Millionaires and that's no Stanley cup. Only original team that has not won the cup. I won't be surprised if the Krakens win one before the Canucks.

@@kagazuki No, we have said since day 1 of the playoffs that the Canucks don't have a chance to win the cup this year. Thank you for reminding us about the last time Vancouver won the cup, we didn't realise that. "Only original team who hasn't won the cup"....WHAT? Are you that f**king stupid, or just bad at trolling? The Canucks are not an original team. And their expansion brothers Buffalo haven't won a cup either. Maybe you can remind me about how many cups the Oilers have won in the last 30 years despite getting so many 1st overall picks. I'm sure you will tell me about all the cups they won 30 - 35 years ago, won't you? Yeah you will! LOL!

The fact of the matter is, the Oilers have been the better team in 4 of the 5 games. In a couple of those games the Oilers badly outplayed the Canucks. I am a Canucks fan too, and I can easily admit that. Silovs will not be coming out of the net even if Demko is healthy, unless he has a bad game.
