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.
