It was a weak draft year when Nuge got taken at #1.

Just checked and Nuge actually has 10 playoff points in 8 games so far.
5th in team scoring and 1 point behind Hymen.
That surprised me because it seems like he has been very quiet.

Yeah he's been good on the PP but 5 on 5 just nothing. Doesn't hit Doesn't go to the net basically a McLeod that gets to play on the 1st PP unit

5 million dollar mortgage to live in a shed.

No wonder so many of them hate everything. Unfortunately that means more of them will be forced to live here. Then we'll hear them whine about how Edmonton is the worst city in North America and how much they miss their mountains and trees.

 

[OfCorsiDid]

I can't imagine nuge playing with a fraction of the injuries drai insists on playing through.

I mean you never know. That being said I don’t think anyone on our team would miss playoff games for migraines or illness.

 

[BlackDogg]

Kissel in for anthem singer?

 

[Heavy Dee]

Why Stetcher isn't in for one of Nurse or Ceci is minblowing.

Is he even skating? I feel like something is going on there.

 

[guymez]

PP points.

Nuge does look to be more engaged on the wing. Maybe splitting Mcdrai with help get him more in the game.

He's also had bad luck. Hitting posts, just missing the net, etc

Totally fair points.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Curious to see Kane and Holloway together, I can see that duo being a handful on the forecheck.

Though I get the feeling those 3 are together to draw the Zadorov/Myers pairing, and free up McDavid to go vs. Hughes-Hronek.


On defence I would have preferred Stecher over Broberg, but the team needs a shot in the arm offensively beyond the top pairing, and he's likely the best candidate to do that.

I know it won't happen, but I'd love to see them pair him with Nurse more often than not.


Only 4 games in 2 weeks, but the team more or less went from fully healthy with 5 min left in the 3rd vs. LA to Henrique out, and both Drai and Ekholm hobbled. I know Vancouver is without their starter, but man injuries caught up in a hurry.

 

[Missing smitty]

This series sucks simply for the banter on social media. The Flames series was awesome because it wasn't just whining about the league apparently coddling McDavid. Canucks fans have to be the worst in the league. Pretty sure they're complaining more after a win than they did after game 2.

Nucks fanbase comes out of hiding when they are winning. And even when they are leading the series, their whining doesn't stop.

It's ridiculous. I remember 2011 and the entire country rallying behind Boston

Also, just heard on CHED that Soucy was the only Canadian born player in the Vancouver lineup. So not a single Canadian born guy is dressed for the Canucks tonight.

 

[joestevens29]

I use to hate them. Main reason I became an Oilers fan is they swept them in 81 3-0. Over the years, and being to Montreal a bunch of times, I dont hate them like I use to. Montreal is a great city to party in. My top 5 in Canada for sure

1 St Johns - George ST Festival
2 Halifax - great city to party
3 Montreal
4 Penticton Peach Festival
5 Edmonton any Stanley Cup Playoffs and they make final

Toronto? Cant stand the place. Go there once every 5 years is good for me

I’m usually at peach feast

Nuge does not need to look far for a comparable. Look at JT Miller and what he brings to the table. Yes, he is out-producing Nuge but he also hits and wins his fair share of draws.

It is really noticeable, it’s sad. Mcdavid today said it was a part of a good playoff series and fun. Nucks fans say he’s whining… like wat

 

[Wreckus]

Pretty much given up this season. 6-2 canucks.

Changes need to be made in the offseason.

It would never happen of course but I would trade RNH++ for JT Miller in a heartbeat.

I cant stand the Canucks fans but they do have some players on that team with a very high level of compete. Just like their coach.
JT Miller is one of them.

Some of the stupidest people on earth. So surprised that they are making me respect flames fans more

The Canucks traded for JT Miller, lindholm, zadarov.

We traded for Henrique, Stretcher, Carrick.

A competent gm and this team has a cup.

Yeah, that "O Canada" woo woo bullshit series ad from Rogers is hilarious, cutting to an American born Canucks captain to top it off.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

No, if we lose the next 2 games...the series is over lol

Yes I can math

Maybe really f*** with them, play Rodrigue next game then Campbell the game after. They won't even know what to do! Yeah..we have some goalie depth too see

No, Campbell never needs to wear an Oiler jersey again for any reason

What I meant by that is if Pickard fails tonight you’re getting Skinner in game 5.

I’d put Rodrigue’s chances of seeing any of this series outside of the PB at <5%

Why, what's the point of that. Go out taking a swing as opposed to just surrendering

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

this will be the only series that will be tied 2-2 this round

 

[Pavel10]

I'd like to see mcdavid and drai lead by example and rock Hughes and petterson. That's star Vs star and exact same pay grade. It's not our fault our stars are carved out of marble and Canucks are made of glass.

I was there back in 92 for a softball tournament, I loved the place. It felt like it was 40 Celcius. I was really hungover as well.

Canucks fans probably don't even know that Miller and Hughes are Americans...

Theyre coping "some players choose to live here when their career is over like the sedins".

 

[Oilers in NS]

this will be the only series that will be tied 2-2 this round

we r still in this. Come out flying tonight, win in Vancouver Thursday and win at home Saturday in 6
