GDT: WCSF GM01 | Vancouver Canucks vs Edmonton Oilers | Wed. May 8th | 7pm PST | SNP/CBC | In Arturs We Trust

What happened in game one between the Canucks and Oilers this season? My memory's not what it used to be.

Never mind game one. Canucks outscored them 21-7 in the 4 games this year.
But apparently the Oilers weren’t really trying.
Which is all to say I have no idea what to expect in game 1.

I've been purposely ignoring the series thread as much as I can and it's been a vibe.

 

[CornKicker]

The last game they reffed together with the Nucks was actually a decently reffed game (I started keeping track due to how bad it has been again this year). I gave them a +2 on my -3 to +3 scale and to have a + game is pretty rare. Means they didn't get in the way too much and didn't miss too much.

this isnt good for the oilers kozari hates the oilers, but love corey perry so there must be a morality conflict for him

without going into the excuse math ill coles notes it.........


oilers should have been up 7-0 in the season series

 

[Chairman Maouth]

The media are others are over looking the fact or just forgetting the fact the Canucks went wire to wire in winning the division. Vancouver stays consistent for the entire year. Vancouver only scored 15 less goals than the oilers did this year.

Absotively.

 

[GeoRox89]

No matter who wins tonight, I just hope we see some solid debauchery at Scott Road and the battle of the cringe videos escalates further

 

[missionAvs]

I'm just here for the gentlemanly conduct and good sportsmanship that will be displayed by these two teams/fanbases.

Edit: The level headed takes as well. I love me some stability in a GDT.

Except they were 17-12-3 in the last 3 months....37pts in 32 games. 93 goals scored and 96 allowed.

Well hopefully they’ll keep the 5 on 3s to single digits….

The last three months don’t count…..

We only met twice in playoff and we won both time 86 and 92.

Historical evidence is undeniable

We met? Sorry I don’t recall the name.
I’m glad you won though. Congrats?

 

[Pavel10]

It's gonna be a Canadian boy summer. Canada beats America 5 1 in game one.

Well met is an exaggeration, I concur.

We hardly passed by, but regardless, we did send thoses flowers to the hospital if that now clears up the mystery.

Credit to you for supporting your team. Would be a thing of more from Vancouver actually did.

 

[McClelland]

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a division winner so heavily underrated in the second round as the Vancouver Canucks before.

Probably, because Oilers is the better team, have a lot of playoff experience and the better top end players.

Against a team who struggled big time at a bubble team.

Playoffs is a new sport, regular is just a long transport for the teams supposed to go for a long run.

4-2 Oilers and no drama!

The username Pavel10 kind of sounds like a Canucks fan turned bandwagon jumper...

In all seriousness though Pavel was great.

 

[Three On Zero]

The hot takes before game #1 have been golden, I can hardly wait for the ones after this game.

Lots of support in Vancouver for the team. Always has been.

Small market fan, pay no attention to him

I want pure anarchy for these fanbases. Close score, lots of goal, multiple OTs, and best of all, absolutely atrocious reffing.

Agreed. I think you can throw the season sweep and Canucks outscoring them 21-7 and finishing 5 points up on them out the window. This Oilers team is a much better team than their record indicates.
Canucks in 6.
Captain’s skate starts a week earlier this summer.

 

[I am toxic]

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a division winner so heavily underrated in the second round as the Vancouver Canucks before.

Probably because Demko is out, and Petterson is injured.

If MCDavid was out, and Drai injured, against a healthy Canucks team I don't think anyone would favour the oil.


Whatever, the 'nucks already won their season, getting to the second round. The oil have two more series to win or else the team gets blown up. That's rough, and just one more reason why I feel sorry for oil fans.

Eta: @Chairman Maouth , I tried to like your excellent post just now. Very well laid out. Playoff caliber posting that this forum needs more of

 

[Brookbank]

The Oilers have lost to Casey DeSmith a couple of times this year.

I'm looking for at least 4 successful AND unsuccessful offside/GI challenges.... per team.
