Playoff f***in Warrior!

The Dennis Rodman of our championship team.

 

[GOilers88]

From 2-9 to the Western Conference finals. What an unbelievable turnaround.

Adversity builds character.

So what you're saying is this is going exactly as they planned it? I dig.

 

[Shanahanigans]

Little late to the show, but RNH played the best hockey of his career this series. Never seen him more engaged than todays game.

 

[Tarus]

Feels good man.

Has anyone heard from Zadorov?

He's probably busy, lots to do in Vancouver tonight.

 

[CrazyJoeDavola]

Can anyone confirm that the boys are headed straight to Dallas? Gazzola was saying he thought they were. Hopefully that's the case. Get there now, get acclimated, and start recovering asap.

 

[Arty Spooners Bsmnt]

Hey Vancouver. FYI, here's the Pettersson buyout LOL​

Are the owners complete morons?

 

[Stoneman89]

And we had Skinner playing poorly, so that should even some things out. Not to mention missing Henrique and the Canucks goalie Sheila got very lucky a lot of times.

 

[Ritchie Valens]

Can anyone confirm that the boys are headed straight to Dallas? Gazzola was saying he thought they were. Hopefully that's the case. Get there now, get acclimated, and start recovering asap.

Makes sense to pack for a lengthy road trip and cut down on travel time.

Get down there, enjoy some Texas bbq and get ready for game 1.

 

[Captain Fantastic]

Don’t care. Im running with this story.

Lot of fake news on TV anyway. Might as well.

Won the series - EDM

 

[GOilers88]

Little late to the show, but RNH played the best hockey of his career this series. Never seen him more engaged than todays game.

He's really stepped it up in the absence of an overwhelming McDavid. Him and Bouchard man, ho-ly.

I wish nothing but the best for Nuge. Dude has been nothing but a loyal soldier. Has seen the darkest of days, been through more coaches and GM's than any player should ever have to see. Has done everything that's ever been asked of him with a smile on his face, and is an integral part the team in all facets of the game.

Career f***in Oiler.

 

[Stoneman89]

Just coming in to say full marks on the series win, your team was the better one. Had a great time debating many of your fan base on a respectful level, appreciate that. Enjoy the gloating for the others, the war of words back n forth by many from both sides was very entertaining to read, and some prob deserve their humble pie.

Goodluck on next round, as I said on mains, I still can't bring myself to root you guys on, our rivalry is too deep rooted, but what I love is proving opinions wrong.

Show everyone that predicted an easy series regardless of which of our teams went on, that we aren't f***ing pushovers. I still have my Canadian pride, and while I see why we are a part of 2 of the most hated fan bases, ppl need to respect our Canadian teams. Play the underdog role quietly, let them talk shit. If you win the tears will be delicious, if you lose, hopefully your team pushes them so hard that hopefully ppl will stop denouncing and disrespecting what the teams coming out of Canada can do.

Again, congrats on the series win, f*** you guys for it lol, the better team won, enjoy the rest of the playoffs. Also again, f*** you guys

All kinds of props for you, bud. When a fan comes on to our site when his team loses, that shows some class. We usually get the clowns when we've lost. Unfortunately, there have been fans from our own site that have gone on other teams sites when we win, so we're not immune to idiots..

 

[Broberg Speed]

Who the hell spends a series win talking about and defending “Canadian television.”

Sus!!!!!!

I'm sure you're off to perform your speciality.

I doubt you like hockey at all.

[TheNumber4]

PK continuing his tradition of not actually watching WC games and then putting his foot in his mouth. Hilarious.

Still a clown that knows f*** all about hockey

 

[Tarus]

Won the series - EDM

Judging by the name of the twitter handle, I'm guessing they were predicting that Vancouver would be back on the courses by the end of the series

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

This is fking great. I actually wouldnt be mad to see any of these teams win if the Oilers get beat.

Pass on all 3 other team remaining.

 

[guymez]

So satisfying to beat the Canucks.

Lots went into this win as well. No passengers at all. Connor played over 20 minutes in this game and had zero points and 1 shot on goal. The team didnt need his offence in this game.
He can save it for game 1 against Dallas.
Every line contributed in some way and Ceci played his best game of the series.
Every Dman was good in this game.

You just knew that the Canucks were going to have a push and it was tough to watch McLoed give that puck away to start their momentum.
Good resilience holding on though and kudos to Knoblauch for calling a critical timeout.

Not much time to rest so it was good to see Knoblauch utilize the bottom 6 as much as he did.
Getting to the Conference final is sweet but now they meet a true SC contender in Dallas.
I just hope that the boys have something left in the tank.

 

[Oilhawks]

This may be the best series I've seen Nuge play. I think his 10 points against the Nucks is indicative of that, but he was also being a tenacious forechecker and blocking shots, not to mention being an elite penalty killer doing a fantastic job in that role. He's really stepped it up these playoffs.

Nuge was clutch as f*** this series. Two massive goals in game 6 and 7 to put the dagger in his hometown team.

 

[TheNumber4]

Little late to the show, but RNH played the best hockey of his career this series. Never seen him more engaged than todays game.

So f***in huge this series. And I’m not just saying that.

You know I always compared Elias Pettersson to Nuge. Mostly to piss Nucks fans off but it was apt comparison in some sense. But now I realize I was wrong, Nuge>>>EP

 

[Stoneman89]

Good luck in the next round from a Canuck fan who is tired of seeing American teams win the Cup.

As for some of the reactions you're seeing, some of it of course comes from animosity between Oiler fans and Canuck fans, but some is probably just wishing for what might have been. As time reduces the disappointment of losing we'll eventually see nobody in Canuck Land will be claiming the better team lost-and not very many would be saying that now.

My prediction had been Oilers in 6, so the Canucks lasted longer than I'd hoped.

As I see the next round the Oilers have an advantage over the Stars in their top end talent and the Stars have a depth advantage, so the most interesting thing to watch may be how the coaches match lines and shift changes.

Okay, you're not like the other Canuck guys I've had the misfortune of coming in contact with. You have some class, and I appreciate you coming in here in a dark moment over there.

Why are we starting our home games at 8:50?
