VANCOUVER -- There were questions, and the Edmonton Oilers certainly had answers about how they lost a three-goal lead in Wednesday night's 5-4 loss to the Vancouver Canucks in Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals.
Especially when the Oilers' latest loss dropped them to 0-5 against the Canucks in the regular season and the playoffs combined. Even while facing questions about what went wrong, the Oilers remained steadfast about their Game 1 performance and why the series is far from over after just one game.
"I thought we gave them this one, and I think we know that it's going to be a long series," Oilers goaltender Stuart Skinner said.
