That’s an interesting way of saying getting dominated that game.

Kinda like Vancouver in game 3?

 

[nucksflailtogether]

Not feeling super confident without Demko but that's why they play the games.

 

[Szechwan]

Hard to think Oilers aren't the favourite if Vancouver is walking in rocking their 3rd string goalie.

 

[ziploc]

I expect a a great deal of witty repartee and some lively conversational exchanges amongst the respective fans for this particular playoff engagement!

Let me translate for Oilers fans: I think we gon' have good talk time.

 

[jackjohnson]

How could anyone watch the first round and come away with "Nashville is so much better than LA"

The delusional takes in this thread. LA was better than the Canucks in the regular season... The Oilers have been historically dominant against Nashville.

Regular season means nothing and I think recent playoff experience is the much better measuring stick.

Hope the business owners on Granville have insurance for the mouth breathing neanderthals that riot when they get bopped in 5 games.

The only playoff experience this oilers group have is losing and disappointment. They have never won it

Now google what is 1-3-1

Whose new here?

lol you’re what, 14?

Say what now?

analytically they were in most stats

 

[MikeK]

Loving the overconfidence here from EDM fans. Going to be a rude awakening.

 

[Leonardlizard]

Say what now?

LA versus YVR head to head. Did they not run the show?

 

[StreetHawk]

I mean I am a canucks fan I hate the oilers, I just dont see how they win this series. I really dont care for tocchets old school offesive system playing around the boards, then get it out front and crash the net and try tips. Its so hard to pull off as you seen they had trouble scoring.

Glad they beat nashville who is a really scruby team on paper, but they cant beat edmonton unless they find another gear.

PO are about matchups. Game plan is some combo of maximizing what you do best, limiting the exposure to your weaknesses, then negating what the opposition does well, and trying to attack their weakness.

Not going to play Edm in the same manner you play Nash. Different firepower up front plus Nash had Jossi a Norris trophy candidate and McDonaugh, playoff performer on the blueline. Plus Saros is a shorter goalie so more emphasis on traffic in front of the net.

Expect Tocchet to tweak the game plan for Edm. See how it plays out.

 

[TimeZone]

Any info on the schedule? Round 2 looking absolutely epic.

 

[Despote]

LA never forechecks unlike Preds, LA has weaker D than Preds, LA doesnt have a goalie like Saros. LA was the weakest team in playoffs aside from Caps.

If LA has a shitty goaltender and a weak D, how did they have the 3rd lowest goals against in the league?

 

[Cloned]

I sleep in a regular sized bed with mine because she's not 300 pounds.

That’s a big burn

 

[DFAC]

Any info on the schedule? Round 2 looking absolutely epic.

Looking like Game 1 will be Tues but not confirmed yet.

 

[CycloneSweep]

If LA has a shitty goaltender and a weak D, how did they have the 3rd lowest goals against in the league?

cause Vancouver is the best team in the league and Nashville gave them struggles and Edmonton is the worst in the league and Edmonton beat LA. Logic, duh.

This is going to be an incredibly exciting series. Oiler's are obviously the favorites, regardless of regular season results. Vast majority of the pressure is on Edmonton.

It's a tall task for the Canucks, and you have to expect that if McDrai can't get through them, it will have serious consequences for the future of the core.

The Canucks O was not good against Nashville. If that turns around and they get better goaltending than Skinner can provide, it's going to be very interesting. Can hardly wait for this Canadian series. Game on!

 

[LTIR]

Being gifted pps will do that

Dounghty's Marchand like penalty immunity seems to have worn off with refs. That and the fact they didn't fall for the dives.

If the refs don't fall for nuck dives this won't be a close series.

 

[barry halls]

The Oilers being underdogs going into this series will hopefully fuel them. Should be a good one, but these Canucks are obviously one of the greatest teams of all time according to their fans so it will be a war.

 

[Bizzare]

Kinda like Vancouver in game 3?

Nah, that was just a game where neither team generated much of anything.

 

[Mr Positive]

Vancouver still has that edge in goal lol. Again Silovs beat Saros twice and their team blocks every shot.

Silovs is an unknown. He did well, against Nashville's offense. He's about to enter a trial by fire. Oilers have more gifted players and will force the Nucks into taking penalties. After Silovs gets his net filled on the PK a few times we'll see how his confidence holds up

 

[Bizzare]

That’s a big burn

If your IQ is double digits maybe.

 

[canucks20]

I really hope the Canucks win. But I’m guessing Oilers in 5 or 6. Oilers are a whole different level offensively than the Preds for a young goalie like Silovs. Petey is gonna have to find something quick for Canucks to have a chance.

It will be nice to watch a whole different style of hockey though. That was a painful watch for 6 games

 

[BWJM]

It is great to see you are already lining up excuses.

It will save time later.

I’m not making excuses bro, I’m just stating the obvious lol.

 

[Zaddy91]

Buckle up boys.
