Credit to the entire team for bouncing back from a horrible start, but special mentions need to be made for Connor, Drai, Kahun, and Smith. Still, I'd rather the team not start every game this way moving forward, please.

Um, let's not get carried away here. There have been plenty times this team dug itself a hole and then laid down and died in it. Tonight, they did not, but it helped that they were playing one of the few teams that have coughed up more goals all season than themselves.

I would nominate Yamo to add to that list. He skated every shift, drew penalties, I think even killed a couple of PK's.
Doesn't go unnoticed by me that he was out there in the dying moments protecting the lead. Considering coach has a long standing tradition of being slow to trust new/young guys that is pretty impressive.

I would say I am up a bit from the past where if they were down 3-0 it was an assumed loss. I have moved up to hopeful a comeback is possible but I definitely am not past worried.

Important win. Dug deep to pull it out and outplayed the Canucks for the bulk of the game. Had we scored on a couple of those posts and Smith not completely sucked to start the game this one could have been a blowout.

Maybe we can just blow them out Thursday instead.

Man, it's cringey listening to Edmonton media scrums.

Rishaug - You were off that line for a few games and Coach Tippett put you back on it. How do you feel about that?

Matheson - You hadn't scored in a while, were you getting frustrated? When you have one go in that, that first goal, it just kind of squeaked in, but does that give you the confidence that you can get the later goal?

This is what that all-important access gets you!

Well, I picked up and started doing some paperwork and left this game after 3 zip, thought this was my jinx. And it turned out to be correct, you're welcome Oilfans. Seriously though, after it became 3 nil, it didnt look like there was a chance even against the Canucks.

Good on the team not to quit. I think we've got us a good hockey team right now with depth making a difference, if the goaltending can be average and can step up from time to time, the sky is the limit.

It’s been really nice having a D who can start the offence and keep it going.

Barrie can play with high offense players pretty seamlessly. He did it with MacKinnon in Colorado and he fits right in with McDavid and Draisaitl. He shows up on the scoresheet a lot as is, but even so, I think he makes a lot of good plays with the puck to keep the flow going that don’t show up on the score sheet. The puck isn’t going to die on his stick on the offense.

For a guy who takes a lot of flack for his defense over his whole career, I still think he’s underrated. It’s hard to find a defenseman who can roll with these guys. McDavid is scoring at a staggering 1.81 PPG right now. I think Barrie is a big part of that. We haven’t had a defenseman like this since the Visnovsky/Souray days. It’s unlocked another level from these guys.

I've only seen the highlights, but this result maybe as important as whooping the Flames over the weekend. We are not a team that has a history of coming back from poor starts and being 3-0 down. A bit of fight and never give in attitude helps and boosts confidence. It may be an ugly win, but a vital one going forward.

Horrendous start aside, the no give up and will the team to overcome and win was impressive.

And the idea that the Canucks fans were doing an early celebration up 3 goals, only to be crushed by 4 straight against is absolutely delightful.

Have to say I think Larsson has really brought up his game, saw him erase a couple of guys, he's changed his game from the start of the season.. Jones actually played OK tonight, after his 1st few games I was really critical about his judgment, he seems to have kept it a lot more simple, hope he remembers it.

McDavid could have had 6 pts tonight.. he'll unload on Thursday..

After a 1st shot sieve goal, Smith actually played really well, lots of point blanks left open by the D and he was able to shut the door.. Koski up next..

Went to bed after the first (11:30pm starts SUCK). Was hopeful for a comeback, but really didn't think it would happen, so it was a pleasant surprise this morning to check the score & see that we won.

This reminds me of a play in front of Smith. Barrie had 2 Canucks all over him and he calmly made a couple crafty moves and wired it up to the red line to an Oiler by the wall.

I'm not used to seeing that on this team. Typically it's a quick scoring chance/goal or an ensuing extended fire drill to get the puck out.

I know that exact play and loudly said a word that cant get past the swear filter as he turned to whip it through the slot. Had big eyes when it was tape to tape to a waiting Oiler.
My PTSD of the last decade or so quickly saw it being picked off and in our net but am cautiously optimistic that I will see that play start in the future and smile in anticipation of a positive outcome.

Barrie has been improving every game in my eyes. His offense is obvious but on the defensive side there have been less moments each game that result in a scoring chance against.
Without paying a kings ransom it is impossible to have a puck moving D without some holes in our own end but Barrie is one of the best in the league right now in his pay range.

Call me impressed.

Canucks came out the hungrier team in the first but when you watched the game, it was pretty apparent the Oilers were superior and were just playing sluggish.

Awful first goal. Smith knew it. As mad as I was about it, I almost laughed when I saw Smith checking himself out to basically try and figure out how it went in. Second goal was about as good of a tip as you can get. Too bad it was an Oilers guy tipping it into his own net. I was yelling for Smith to get pulled. I was definitely yelling to pull him after the 3rd. The Oilers first period goal was MASSIVE especially as it should have been stopped. But going into the first intermission, it felt like one of those game where things just weren't going the Oilers way and I expected them to probably give up another 1 or 2 and probably lose 5-2.

But after the first, I was shocked. They came out and took it to the Canucks. The post and crossbar got a work out and it just seemed like shift after shift it was all Oilers. I thought they were unlucky not to get 1 or 2 in the 2nd. So I was worried they would go old Oilers, shrug their shoulders saying they tried and just mail in the 3rd.

To my surprise, they decided it was time to win the game so they came out even harder in the 3rd and just blew the Canucks out of the water. They were all over the Canucks, they forced the Canucks to do mistake after mistake. The Canucks players looked completely overwhelmed, throwing pucks in corners or behind the net even in their own zone just to get rid of it. The Oilers were picking off every pass and just kept coming relentlessly. Great goal by Kahun. Great PP goal by McD. After they tied it, it was literally only a matter of time before they got the winner. My favorite part was the winner because the Oilers of the past didn't score goals like that. Bottom 6 line out, taking the play to the Canucks, guys creating chaos in front of the goal, simple point shot, goes off a guy and in. I am so used to other teams doing that to the Oilers and always wondered why the hell the Oilers never got those type of goals. But they did.

Smith was great after the first. The defense as a whole was good for 2 periods. Big boys made plays and got goals from secondary scorers. Great game, great win.

Brutal, that should be a suspension. I don’t see any precursor there to give Roussel a reason to start immediately throwing punches to the face of an unwilling participant. Made the guy bleed.

I seem to remember Kassian being suspended for the same thing, except that event had some precursor.

What I find as the biggest joke is a player can in the heat of a puck battle completely unintentionally high stick a guy in the face, draw blood and it's worth 4 mins. Roussel unprovoked drops his gloves, bare knuckle drills an unsuspecting JP in the face blooding his nose and he gets 2.

I can see why the Canucks lose. Wow they take some DUMB penalties. I know agitating is Roussel's thing but dropping the gloves and punching a guy in the face unprovoked is DUMB. Especially doing it to a guy like JP who there is ZERO chance he will fight you.

I thought the Oilers early on in the season did some bad giveaways, the Canucks take it to a whole new level. Throwing pucks back into your know corner or behind the net with no one there? I loved when Louie commented about how he had no clue what the Canuck was doing when he just turn and passed it behind his own goal to no one. I've never seen a team try to play dump and chase in their own zone before. icon_lol

I felt bad for JP too. He kind of jump through the scramble chasing the puck them looked extremely confused when he started get punched. It was like yelling at a dog for changing the channel.

It looked like a scene from slap shot. Guys are just wacking at the puck like you see 100's of times in a game and one guy just drops the gloves for nothing and starts feeding shots. If I am the Canucks coach, I'd be scratching him next game. You can't have guys doing stupid stuff like that, especially when things are going as bad as they are.

Vancouver’s Antoine Roussel has been fined $5,000, the maximum allowable under the CBA, for Roughing Edmonton’s Jesse Puljujarvi.

Ditto Nurse - was suspended (IIRC 3 games) for dropping the mitts with Polak, after Polak had laid a questionable hit on one of our guys. Reasoning was: unsuspecting opponent, unprovoked aggression. Why don't Roussel's actions qualify?

Good example. I don't think JP even touched anyone prior to getting punched in the face. At least Polak gave a guy a cheap shot to maybe warrant getting punched to a degree.

Roussel's game is falling off a cliff so guess no surprise he's just running around like an idiot now trying to find ways to be noticed.

Did not see that, how is that only 2 minutes? He's always been an assclown.

RNH...what a bro. Get that extension signed already.

Hopefully Roussel dresses next game, the score gets out of reach, and someone takes care of business there. This is 2 incidents I count where people have gone after JP virtually unprovoked, one of these times he's going to lose it and fight back.

That's not a thing anymore. Knowing the Oilers they'll probably sign him and we'll all just pretend nothing happened.

Please do not feed the bears. Feeding the bears creates a dependent population unable to survive on their own. Bears.

The problem is, the Oilers don't have anyone to address that right now. I sure don't want Nurse beating the hell out of him. He's WAY, way too important to the Oilers and the Canucks take that trade off all day long. The guy that should do it is Kassian and he's not there. Khaira sort of can but I don't think he's a great fighter and doesn't do it unless he absolutely has too.
