Matthew, who do you got, or what do you have for the keys to victory for the Canucks
0:04
Well, I'll just off the top, as I've already said it, stay out of the box
0:09
Try to limit that power play as much as you can, because that's going to be a big thing
0:14
In addition to that, I want to say first, it's funny how we're talking about the Canucks
0:18
being a defensive juggernaut. It's just such a weird thing to say, because over the years they have not been
0:24
I think that's something you'd far from say, you've described that, that is not the Canucks
0:30
So far, in Tockett's tenure, they have been a lot better defensively
0:36
And that's the reason why Shelos was able to be good. And nothing against him, but they were really good in front of him
0:43
He hadn't had to make ridiculous saves, he made a few, but not to the point where you're
0:49
like, he stole the game, he was the reason they won. He just had to be good
0:55
And that's what he's going to have to be good against the Oilers. If they can play that same defensive structure, and not..
1:02
I feel like I was talking about this earlier with someone else and saying that, I don't
1:07
know how Tockett's going to approach this series, but I don't think he should approach
1:12
it as trying to shut down McDavid, trying to shut down Dreisaitl
1:16
It should be, you should try to attack against the Oilers, because the Oilers aren't a defensive team
1:21
I mean, they're not known for that. They've had chinks in their armor, defensively and goaltending
1:29
So I think they just got to attack and try to show their offense, because they're a lot
1:33
better offensively than the Kings. The Kings were able to drop four or five goals against them
1:39
Maybe not the end there, but they were able to. And the Canucks are a much better offensive team
1:45
So if they can play that more fast-paced offensive style, not saying they should get into a track
1:50
meet against the Oilers, because that's not a good idea either, because most likely you're
1:54
going to have Dreisaitl and McDavid getting five six-point nights on you
1:58
So that's not a good idea either. So balance it. I think it's just a balanced attack
2:02
Try to be the offensive team, but not to a point where you're allowing a lot of chances
2:07
And the Canucks can do that. They've shown it throughout the season. They are able to win those high-scoring games and those low-scoring ones
2:15
So I think they can play that type of style. But I think they shouldn't go into it as saying, we got to shut down McDavid and Dreisaitl
2:21
That's our key. We got to have this line matched, hard matched against McDavid all the time
2:27
I think Lindholm's going to be that guy. But I don't think that should be the mindset going in
2:32
So it comes down to it. Play your game. Be more of that balanced type style they've been all season long
2:42
And I think they'll be good to go out of this. It doesn't matter what goaltender's in, in that there
