I shouldn’t be pissed off and annoyed like this after a game 7 win, but holy crap. How long until they learn they can’t sit back like that?
Anyway - woohoo! Bring on the Stars. Hope our guys can rest up a bit.

I'll start with the positive - WOOOOHOOOO!!!! See ya Canuckleheads! It wasn't pretty, but it's a win, and we're on to Round 3.
That said, the coach has to get his head out of his hindquarters with his lead protection strategies. You could see it basically from the point where the Oilers scored their second goal. They stop attacking, they stop forechecking, they dump in and then all get back. You could suggest that it helps shot suppression, because the Canucks only had 5 third period shots, but then you remember that at one point the Oilers had a 25-5 edge in shots, and then from that point (about 35 minutes in to the game) on, they were outshot 12-4 and blocked about 300 more. If they kept playing like they had been up until that point, and we out shoot them 40-11 or something like that, are we still holding our breath and white-canuckling it through those final minutes?
We've seen Knoblauch make some important changes to his systems in this playoffs, most notably changing the defensive structure on the PK after the first three games of this series, so maybe he can take the next couple of days and come up with a better plan, because this just isn't going to work against Dallas. They need to be better, and they need to keep taking the play to the Stars.
Okay, rant over. Now just to enjoy again for a little while. Bring on the Stars!

Honestly not sure if Knob is telling these guys to hang back .he was very unhappy with the sitting back earlier in the series. After the timeout we actually started to push in the offensive zone again.
These guys need some smacks upside the head still to not start playing scared.

He may not feel that he's telling them specifically to do nothing, but you can see the strategy shift. The Oilers moved in the second period to more dump and chase - they had very few controlled entries. It was just clear that they were instructed to make sure it gets deep. Their forecheck also shifts to less aggressive - they were generally only sending one, and if the Canucks made the D-to-D pass, you would see the team retreat to behind the blue line to clog the neutral zone.
It was somewhat effective at suppressing shots on goal because everyone was blocking shots and there's lots of bodies back there, but they absolutely changed their tactics and that's definitely related to their attack fizzling in the last 25 minutes.
I also think the coach needs to come up with a new plan on breakout. What they are doing is flawed and the Canucks took advantage. If we give the puck away at our own blueline that much against Dallas, we are in real trouble.
