Anyone here Frank on Canucks conversation today? Man was in pure denial, saying the Oilers depth > Canucks depth and that if Drai is injured it doesn't matter, it changes nothing about how bad the Canucks scoring depth is compared to the Oilers
I swear some people just look at Dom's stat charts, follow it blindly, and then refuse to change their mind based on what they see on the ice. People really don't seem to understand how much McDavid and Drai pump up the underlying metrics of the guys around them, and it shown every single year in the playoffs (both by how much of a tire fire their defense & depth turns into and how much those two are able to raise their game).
I've said it time and time again, I don't mind if people have the Canucks as the underdog (they should be) because of the Oilers star talent, but this nonsense on the Oilers depth being praised as respectable needs to stop.

I didn't hear the hit, but he has been a believer of the Canucks all year, so it's not a bias or entrenchment thing... I guess he's just really impressed by the Oilers' lineup.
Agreed, although the question is so dependent on the Canuck players (first and foremost Pettersson) actually playing to their potential that it's mostly just begging the question once you've built that part into it.
Good. The less respect we get , the further we will go.Anyone hear Frank Seravalli on Canucks conversation today?
