And I miss these days

 

[Hoglander]

I'm not pretending anything, how can I read their minds? I only know what they say.

I'm sure that some of them actually believe that the regular season is meaningless, why should I interpret that as anything more than regular season nihlism, seems unfair to the others.

Just admit that the Oilers have the advantage in every conceivable way, and they'll stop arguing with you.

The regular season IS meaningless, except for when they bring it up.

It doesn't matter how the Canucks played in round one, because the sample size is too small and against only 1 team. What the Oilers did in round 1... that is what matters.

Canucks were simply lucky against a toothless team, when they got outshot and still won the game. When the Oilers did the same against the offensively impotent Kings, it was totally different.

The Preds became a really dangerous team during the season, but their small meaningless playoff sample size that doesn't matter, matters. They couldn't score, and that had nothing to do with the Canucks defense or goaltending. Their defense really wasn't good either, it was just the Canucks not being good over a small meaningless sample, which means everything going into the Canucks/Oilers series.

Get it now?

 

[Chairman Maouth]

But... they do have the advantage, I even gave you the stats to show that the Canucks are advantaged at 5v5 in the playoffs.

Canucks are 4th in xG% (54.61%), Oilers are 10th (47.43%)
Canucks are 4th in Corsi (52.45%), Oilers are 15th (42.66%)
Canucks are 6th in Fenwick (51.23%), Oilers are 15th (43.32%)
Canucks are 3rd in xGD (+2), Oilers are 10th (-1.06)

Now, you may not think that's important, I'm not so sure it is either as the Oilers have the firepower to ignore stuff like Corsi and Fenwick, but the Canucks definitely do have the advantage.

Schoolyard pick. I pick you first.

The key Difference between the 2 fanbase, one cheers for their team, the other spends the majority of their time cursing the other. Easy to tell which is the A side.

 

[Chairman Maouth]

So elusive, he got crunched multiple times against Nashville.

And Quinn Hughes is healthy going into round two while Roman Josi is struggling to decide between a 2 iron and a 3 iron.

 

[nucks88]

Yea, weird to have a fanbase be passionate about their team even when it's bad hey? Instead of just... Disappearing like they don't even exist.


I wouldn't be laughing my ass off if this comment didn't come from any other account on HF.

Likewise……

 

[Coffey]

Likewise……

To which comment?

 

[Chairman Maouth]

Good on the mods for cracking down on derogatory and misogynistic name-calling. That's schoolyard crap we don't need here.

 

[Coffey]

Why the sarcasm face to the bolded? That is the Canucks fanbase to a tee. Fair weather fans.

I have my reasons, FlyingV!

I have a hunch a few of these posters won’t make it to game one.

This thread is honestly an embarrassment and has almost nothing to do with the hockey series now

 

[nucks88]

Definitely not true. Building was selling out for the 10 yrs the team sucked ass. And if this thread isn't proof enough of the passion of both fanbases I'm just not sure you know what a fairweather fanbase is.

It is just the newest narrative they are using …..hard to keep track of them all this season….

Hughes is small.
Vancouver is a market 3x the size of Edmonton, and has been proven.
Edmonton has a higher valuation due to a new arena and McDavid.
Both owners are shit and previous owners are also shit.
Kane and Perry are going to turn back the clock and do something they’ve never done before by physically beating on Hughes.
Edmonton is the favourite to win the series.

Can we go back to talk about the series now?

Lacking Demko probably sways this from a 50/50 series, sadly

 

[Coffey]

Perry physically beating on Hughes.

Ok, now NOBODY said that.

 

[Leonardo87]

Folks, let’s get back to discussing the series, thanks!

 

[Three On Zero]

Ok, now NOBODY said that.

That Pavel guy kept spouting it, I think? Or was it a different player?

 

[Chairman Maouth]

Someone on Twitter I've never heard of has sure as shit convinced me.

He’s a huge Oilers fan. Writes for The Athletic I think. Not much credibility behind him

PAVEL? Sounds like a Bure fan.

Top level cringe right there.

Thanks. I'll see if I can find any predictions my buddy Darrel the Canucks fan has made here on Twitter. He may have a different outlook.

Glass houses and all that

Not that long ago either, but it might have been before your time, to be fair.

 

[Rowlet]

Someone on Twitter I've never heard of has sure as shit convinced me.

He's an advanced stats guy, usually he's pretty good, but famously had Q Hughes as a Tier 3C defenseman this season, which he got roasted for all year. Ironically he had him higher but apparently NHL front office people convinced him that he's worse.

Oh, I heard about this guy! I never learned his name though. He was the butt of a lot of jokes when it came to Quinn Hughes.
