Vancouver vs Edmonton or Colorado vs Dallas (more entertaining bout )

[Play]

Colorado is not the same team that won the Cup. It would be a very evenly matched series.

Though I agree, there’s also the Mackinnon factor

 

[Three On Zero]

Colorado is not the same team that won the Cup. It would be a very evenly matched series.

Colorado still has a few game breaking players, Dallas lacks that

 

[CanadienShark]

I think Avs-Stars would be a tougher matchup, but Oilers-Nucks would be more entertaining.

 

[Coffey]

I still don't know how the Canucks are so crazily hyped when they've made the playoffs once in the last 8 years.
Do they think they're going to go 16-3 en route to an easy cup?

Some people need to temper their expectations.

I mean a team is bad until it’s good again. Most logical Nuck fans are happy to be righting the ship again after some rough years. Adding before the deadline doesn’t mean we expect to win the cup but finally adding pieces to make runs again is nice. Anything can happen in the playoffs and I do think the West is wide open this year.

 

[Drew Doubty]

As opposed to your whining about our (comparative) strength of schedule.

Answer to op for me is the Canadian match up but one of those is my team so I admit my bias.

As a Canucks fan we have no right to whine about strength of schedule so far lol.

If you want to cheer for two teams that could win the Cup, you pick the Stars vs Avs series. If you want to get excited about two pretenders you cheer for the Canucks vs Oilers series.

I think people are excited for the Oilers vs Canucks because both teams are very exciting. This seems like a weird post and seems like cope for the fact that over 80 percent picked Oilers and Canucks.

I picked the Stars -Avs series btw..

People wanna see HATE.

Keyword is logical here lol

Also not sure how stars or Avs are a tier above the Oilers and Canucks ,so much he claims only they can win the cup.

All four teams are in the same tier in my eyes

[josra33]

i dont want to see my Canucks play Edm. i couldnt handle the Oiler fans whining about every single penalty or phantom missed call. it would be exhausting

How does that differ from any other series they are in?

Avs could win the cup. The Nucks and Oilers probably sweep Dallas

 

[Rowlet]

Now the Canuck fans have to pay attention, and EDM fans have already been coming into every GDT and complaining about PDO and shit even when the two teams haven't played since like October.

Seriously, they're the most miserable people in hockey, they have the best player in the world and they cry constantly for attention. At this point Columbus fans are probably happier at this point, and they're just happy to have a team at all.

 

[GirardSpinorama]

Even as an Avs fan, id say the canucks-oiler series will be more entertainment. Just cause of the tears from the fanbase that loses the series.

[Bankerguy]

go through 10 GDTs of each team and ctrl F "ref" or "penalty", filter thru the results for whining/complaining posts and ratio it as a porportion of total posts in that gdt. Edm is by far worse, to the tune of a factor of 2.5:1, and interestingly it gets worse agaisnt Canadian teams. stats dont lie...but keep posting cute pics if you'd like

Im not saying its true, but theres rumours on other boards that the Refs favor teams like Vegas and Vancouver

 

[82Ninety42011]

Canucks vs Oilers would be damn entertaining end to end hockey. Two of the hottest teams in league and two fan bases that would love nothing more than beating the other on the ice but more importantly on these boards !!

 

[Luigi Lemieux]

Nucks vs oilers would be must see TV

 

[Bankerguy]

Maybe. Just speculating but i think Refs could potentially favor certain players...
Long-standing, NHL guys with reputation... like if Crosby complained about a missed call or something, i could see that play a role in a refs subconscious when making calls later on in the game. who knows.

 

[Regal]

Canucks-Oilers would be more entertainment on here, but in recent years the games themselves haven’t been particularly good from an entertainment factor imo.

So they're like the west coast Leafs

 

[Coffey]

Well the Leafs actually make the playoffs recently. Despite their 1st round fumbles.

 

[Pass the Saitl Sauce]

Nucks vs oilers would be must see TV

And seeing the Canuck fans riot after losing the series would also be must see
