Around the League | Round 1: FIGHT!

[Vancouver_2010]

Every time the oilers give up a weak goal.

 

[Flik]

Oilers goal scorers just have that killer instinct that ours are lacking right now. Its a vibe, one we haven't had for a while unfortunately.

Defensively sure, we've been lights out, but in the offensive zone? No swagger, no killer instinct.

 

[Slapshot_11]

Kings are f***ing terrible but somehow own us

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

Oilers path is wide open and they will outscore any defensive issues to get to the WCF. The only teams that could beat them in the WCF are Dallas or Vegas.

Just incredibly frustrating.

 

[EpochLink]

Dallas, I am disappointed.

LA with a legit goalie would’ve given them some trouble but yea a 1-3-1 team with a 40 year goalie against McDrai isn’t gonna work

Dallas, I am disappointed.

They might be the least physical team in the West playoffs

We're collectively a slow team outside of Hughes so when we fall behind it's hard to break a trap by blowing past defenders. Z and Myers look like fast skaters compared to a lot of our forwards lol.

They've benefitted from incredible health during the McDavid era.

 

[Baby Pettersson]

Dallas, I am disappointed.

It was kinda obvious it was going to happen. Vegas has a 100M roster.

 

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

Are Dallas really going to go down 2-0 in the series..?

 

[PG Canuck]

Mr. Fiala

 

[CanucksSayEh]

While our players and coaches need to be better about the PP, a lot of blame falls on management.

You can't just trade TWO 35+ goal scorers and expect to carry on as before.

 

[PG Canuck]

Are Dallas really going to go down 2-0 in the series..?

Yeah they’re getting swept too.

 

[Petey O]

Seeing a powerhouse like Dallas going out in the first round would be quite surprising, even against Vegas tbh.

 

[Flik]

Seeing the absolute garbage goaltending in most of the other series makes me even more sad that Demko got injured. Damn man, he was one of our few aces in the hole.

 

[SillyRabbit]

The longer that the Kings/Oilers series goes, the better.

Looks like Kings might even this up.

 

[PG Canuck]

Never forget people in this very thread wanted Vegas, said they weren’t scared of Vegas, and that they had no goalie/were hurt etc etc etc

Ridiculous takes.

 

[Flik]

Yeeeesh, I feel bad for the Stars

 

[canuckking1]

Vegas is easily the best team in the league IMO. Canucks really dodged a bullet

 

[StreetHawk]

Oh by, EN goal by Eichel. Stats going down 0-2 in series. Now need 2 road wins.

 

[PG Canuck]

Stars are screwed

 

[Grumbler]

When the kings score, Edmonton top players respond. When Nashville scores, our top players implode.

Worrying too much about who the Canucks match up with isn't worth the effort imo.

Going to have to beat the best to be the best. Can't change fate.

Best team in the west again IMO.

 

[Flik]

I'm so happy for the Vegas Knights and their 5 fans. Congrats.
