Description

LIVE from Hudsons Canada's Pub on Whyte Ave, Tom Gazzola & former Oilers goalie Joaquin Gage recap what happened in game 4 of the Edmonton Oilers and Vancouver Canucks series!   Joaquin Gage joined to break down the play of Calvin Pickard and what he looked like during his first NHL Playoff start.   He then looked at the Oilers defencemen and how they protected the front of the net. Gager thinks the Oilers in their zone and the offensive zone were a step ahead.   After some discussion, the boys head into the locker room to hear from the man who has had a point in all 9 playoff games thus far, Leon Draisaitl.   We also hear from Kris Knoblauch, Mattias Ekholm, Calvin Pickard and Evan Bouchard throughout the show.   Gager and Tommy continue on to talk about some potential "sleeping giants" on the Canucks and the Edmonton Oilers. Gazzola brings up Connor Brown while Gager sheds some light on the veteran Corey Perry.   After hearing from Calvin Pickard, Gager shared his thoughts on what he had to say after getting the win in goal.   We then hear from the other side from Rick Tocchet!   Zachticum then breaks down 'The Big Save of the Game' presented by Christopher Boyle where Zach gives it to Arturs Silovs when he made a series of saves on the powerplay.   Zach then lays down the 'Player of the Game' presented by Damon Bunting where he goes to the many who started and won his first career playoff start in the NHL!   Tom Gazzola closes the show out by looking at a few texts and into the Nasty Chat!       GAME SUMMARY:   In the first period, both teams put on the pressure with the Oilers being the only team to capitalize doing so off the stick of Leon Draisaitl on the powerplay.   During the first frame, Evander Kane took a 4-minute minor with a crosscheck against Tyler Myers and the Oilers were able to kill it off.   In the second period, both teams had their chances and extended zone pressure but the offensive zone play went in favour of the Edmonton Oilers where Ryan Nugent-Hopkins scored in the 39th minute of the game right before the break.   Entering the third period, the Oilers were gifted another powerplay but Vancouver was able to kill it thanks to some game-savers by Arturs Silovs. Connor Garland from the slot with about 13 minutes left in the period made it a one-goal game.   After scoring their first of the game, the Canucks continued ticking up their zone time pouring on more shots towards Pickard.   During one moment down the stretch, Arturs Silovs played chicken with Evander Kane to deny him a rush on goal.   To try and tie the game, the Vancouver Canucks pulled their goalie with 2:30 left.   With Silovs pulled, Elias Petterson won a faceoff against Derek Ryan and Brock Boeser was able to rip it towards the net and tie it with a bounce off a body in front with the rubber getting in off the heel of Dakota Joshua.   The two clubs grinded it out in the last minute with Draisaitl going to work in the Canucks zone where he sent it to the point for Bouchard to take the lead once again.
