Post-Series Talk: Edmonton Oilers Defeat the Vancouver Canucks, 4-3, advance to WCF

[NyQuil]

Oilers barely beat the Canucks minus their starting goalie, their top winger, and with their franchise center having 1 goal in 13 games.

Fun series. But you're going to get smoked by Dallas, and you know it. Enjoy this while it lasts.

As long as you're not bitter about it.

 

[Bank Shot]

Hate to keep ragging on the guy, but if EP is even average in this series the Canucks probably move on relatively easily.

Really hope he gets his head right in the offseason.

The Canucks ran out of fluke juice.

Relying on miracle comebacks to win playoff games is never going to be sustainable.

Shilov and Garland were the best nucks. Miller and Petey sucked balls.

Hughes wasn't great either

 

[jackjohnson]

If the Leafs top 4 core showed up, they'd win easy.

If the Canucks are at one or 2 players to go from a division winner to a fringe team, you got a depth problem. That team ain't made for the Stanley Cup even less for the playoffs

Canucks out 2 key guys is huge. Take out Mcbaby and Drai, oilers would be shutout

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

what? I loved Garland, really happy he brought the energy in the third!

Think you misunderstood what i said. Its great Garland was Nucks best player, he just shouldnt be if you want to win

It's a game that has no effect on my life, so yeah. I'm good. It was a fun few weeks and we had some great times.

 

[I am Bettman]

Wow, Vancouver’s offense really is quiet. Hfboards nailed it a year ago.

 

[LTIR]

I know most Canuck fans aren’t even that bad on HF cause I came out of the series with ZERO infractions.

I didn't even bother going into GDT tonight after not lasting the full game in any previous ones

Here’s hoping the Stars get decent reffing and disembowel the Oilers in 4…….

 

[Bank Shot]

Hronek can get bent. I don't care if he comes back at all .

Weird. Canucks fans were calling it the biggest trade win in history 30 games into the season.

That must be the reason you wrote such a bitter post.

You mean take out the guys that didn't score, and the Oilers would be shutout? Interesting logic.

Skinner was the sole reason this wasn’t a sweep by edm. He blew games 1 and 3.

 

[jackjohnson]

Hughes is a better skater. Bouchard is better literally everywhere else on the ice. Bigger, stronger, better passer, better shot and better defensively.

Lol better passer. You go with a 7 game sample size where hughes is injured. Look at who is going to win Norris then comeback and talk

Mods were definitely more lenient given the circumstances, but you know talking about not getting infracted is against the site rules

 

[FOurteenS inCisOr]

Grats on making it to the Conference finals Oilers!

Sadly the Oilers are the worst team Dallas has had to face so far this playoffs.

Let em play the games first.

 

[PULSATING]

"ohh look at what the Edmonton trainer did, he put the pucks in the shape of a 7"

Get bent McLean...

LOL. Just shut the tv off are you a masochist?

 

[Binder]

oiler fans in here running down a canuck club that they barely beat
if vancouver sucks so badly what hope do you have against dallas???

 

[eviohh26]

Weird. Canucks fans were calling it the biggest trade win in history 30 games into the season.

He was amazing his 1st 30 games. And no one was calling it the biggest trade win. Not when we have traded for Luongo. Miller. And Naslund.

 

[LTIR]

You mean take out the guys that didn't score, and the Oilers would be shutout? Interesting logic.

Yeh, also their KEY performer that they are missing would be replacing arguably their best performer of the series (Silov)

 

[KCC]

Yeah McDavid really looks like he wants to leave Edmonton. Lol get f***ed haters. Good series Vancouver!

He definitely has been off the last handful of games. Probably been really sick. They’re a bug going around their locker room. The fact that he did t do much and they won is a good sign.

Elias Pettersson as your "franchise center" might have been where the Canucks went wrong.

Lol better passer. You go with a 7 game sample size where hughes is injured. Look at who is going to win Norris then comeback and talk

Look at who showed up when the games mattered

 

[Three On Zero]

Hronek can get bent. I don't care if he comes back at all .

His injury history is concerning for what he will want

 

[Scema12]

It took the 2 biggest Canuck MVPs to be out for the Oilers to beat the Canucks in 7 in a one goal game. Safe to say if the actual Canucks roster showed up, theyd win easy

SUrely!!

 

[jackjohnson]

You mean take out the guys that didn't score, and the Oilers would be shutout? Interesting logic.

Yes, the 2 guys that helped you throughout playoffs and face the best checkers and defenders on the opposing team.

Actually disclosing when you get warned or thread banned is against the rules.
