VANCOUVER — The Canucks and Oilers are taking different approaches to their lineups ahead of Thursday's pivotal Game 5."I thought he looked really comfortable the other day," Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch said after Thursday's morning skate."He just made some solid saves, played the puck really well. … He made all the right decisions and made some big saves for us throughout the night."Skinner has a 2-1-0 record with a .793 save percentage and a 4.
The Canucks, meanwhile, will juggle their lineup after head coach Rick Tocchet expressed disappointment in several of his players. “We’ve been a resilient group all year," Tocchet said after Game 4."But we need five or six guys to get going here. I mean, it’s the Stanley Cup playoffs. Some guys, I don’t know if they thought it was the playoffs. We can’t play with 12 guys. We’ve got to figure it out quick."Tocchet said after Vancouver's morning skate that he wants better puck possession and forechecking from his players.
"There are plays there to be made," he said."We're not making them. And I think we've got to be a little more aggressive when we're making those plays."
