Blow me away how much whining Tocchet does to the refs. It's constant.
Kane gets a 4 min for highsticking. It wasn't intentional but he got him, he was bleeding. As much as I wish it wasn't 4, he was bleeding so that's the rule. Tocchet was absolutely giving it to the refs. What the hell do you want, you got 4 mins!

Wanted the 5 because it was a cross check directly to the head. I bet the ref that called the cross check on nurse last game would have given the 5. Thankfully no ref last night that the Canucks have a 11-0 record with over last few years.

If he thinks that's a 5 then Miller should have got more for his because he got him in the face with something.
Tocchet just needs to shut the hell up. It's ridiculous. It's not like the Oilers are getting way more PP's, they aren't. It's prison rules out there with his team being way more physical and cheap because they don't have the puck as much.

One thing I did enjoy from tocchet was him bashing the heck out of half his team last night to the media. Talking about how some guys might need replacing in the lineup and how he had 5-6 passengers and questioning if his guys know they are in he playoffs.
Showing his potential to be a short shelf life coach.

On the topic of coach - we saw some really good and some bad from Knoblauch last night. The adjustments to the PK were very solid. They realized what wasn't working in the first three games and executed.
However, I don't really like his plan to hold the lead in the third period. When we're pushing, we dominate the Canucks, so why in the last 15 minutes do we move to a passive forecheck and just give them half the ice again and again?
Also I don't love the utilization of the fourth line. We put them out multiple times against the top-6 from the Canucks and every time was a fire drill. If you're sending them over the boards, you really need to play them against the depth guys from the Canucks and only them, because Boeser, Miller and Pettersson just chewed them up.
Also - I would not use them in the final couple minutes of the game either. It was a factor on the 2nd goal with Ryan, and so it was surprising to see us then subbing in Janmark right after we took the lead again. I'd rather see Nuge or Hyman out there to help close it down. They're quicker and just better players.
I think the 11-7 set-up might be better now anyhow. Gives more chance to limit Ceci's time (or Desharnais if he's struggling) and Connor Brown has added exactly nothing in his small time on ice in the series.

I really noticed whenever Vancouver got shot from the face off circle they attack Pickard’s blocker. The book is out on him, but I think they want low blocker and our dmen really took the bottom of the net away.
Pickard answered every shot and although it’s Skinner’s net, Pickard’s borrowing it possibly for the rest of the series.
Too piggy back on Adam’s comment about switching to a passive forecheck, we did that in game 1 too. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.
Why go away from a winning strategy. Vancouver had no ice and no offence until we let the foot off the gas.
