Any Oiler fans heading to the game needs to plan ahead and make sure they have a route to get to the game and return to their hotel safely.

So if regular season stats don't matter, it gives everyone carte blanche to make up whatever they want about the regular season?

Okie dokie.

Jonas Hoglander was suspended by the Canucks for 12 games during the regular season for an unfortunate incident at the Vancouver Aquarium involving 3 starfish, too little clothing, and 1 traumatized sea otter who was forced to watch everything.

Whooosh. Every oilers fan says regular season means nothing when it comes to the nucks but but then can't seem to keep bringing up the regular season.

It's not that bad man lol.

No not at all. Definitely.

Dakota Joshua scores at a 25 goal pace every year, Quinn Hughes scores 90 points every year, Boeser scores 40 every year, Hronek scores almost 50 every year, Hoglander scores 24 every year. That’s not counting almost everyone else who at least matched prior career highs that haven’t been seen recently.

I'm sorry but this is just a terrible post. Quinn, Hoglander are not even near their prime yet so them improving is pretty much the trajectory of every athlete ever that is actually talented.
Hronek was on pace for a similar season last year, Brock has been touted as a 40 goal scorer since his rookie season until you know injuries like a literal broken back got in the way. As for Dakota, this was pretty much his first season as a full time top 9 player and is a late bloomer.

I can't even believe you used Quinn as an example unless you've been living in Kabul or something.

This is complete gibberish. I think you’re actually affirming the objective fact they all had career years, but laughably trying to explain it away for some reason.

You’re one of the ones that just hopped back on. Don’t get ahead of yourself, lots to learn and catch up on.

One way or another I think this could be a shorter series than some may want to admit. IF Vancouver shows what they did all season? Vancouver is 4 or 5. If the Oilers get the Canucks goalie? 4 or 5 the other way. There will be no middle ground in this series

 

[David71]

time for hoglander garland to really piss off the oilers with their speed and forechecking. and contributing on the scoresheet. i think its gonna be the bottom 6 and elias that will take over. miller/boeser did their part in round one. each series or games will have different heros stepping up. hopefuly the D of vancouver play physical on the oilerrs and chip in the odd goal here and there. myers/soucy.

the bottom 6 of Vancouver will definitely not take over this series lol

I agree, I see a steamroll one way or the other. EP needs to show up

 

[Pucklington]

It's odd how quickly that you guys use that as an excuse. It's basically admitting that without him you can't win, with 1st place on the line, against a goalie who had a sub 900sv%
Even knob and Spec made that excuse. This is the first playoffs I've paid attention to the oilers and I gotta say from the fans to the coaches to the reporters.

All oiler fans reading this. Go on YouTube watch the nucks in their media scrums as well as the oilers, what a massive difference from the coach down to the captain and everyone in between.
A blowout in game 1 just might break them all over again,

Hoping for a good game today. Also hoping I can actually stay up for it.

You know how many even strength points McDavid had against the Canucks this season ? Zero.

Although, interestingly, in the playoffs, power play goals also count on the scoreboard.

You know which team McDavid has scored the least points against in his career? It's the NY Islanders. Lowest ppg? St Louis Blues. If he was playing either/or team, it could get interesting.

You know which team McDavid has scored the most points against in his career? The Vancouver Canucks.

I think he's going to be fine...

He’s going to destroy the Canucks though.

LOL I completely forgot about this series. Must be nice having time for your players to rest in between

 

[Zalos]

Time for the Oilers to keep on rolling.

Hey, man, i believe you root for the Bruins? Maybe your team should have closed out the Leafs sooner if they wanted more rest?

I would also plan at least 100m away from any Starbucks.

Thank you for teaching me the scientific name for caffeine!

Oilers and Canucks fans, let’s all relax.

When your team loses, it’s not your fault and has nothing to do with you. Don’t take it personally.

When your team wins, it also has nothing to do with you, and is not your achievement to be proud of. We are cheering for a bunch of rich young men who don’t know us or care about us to live THEIR dream and achieve THEIR goals. We don’t have any rational reason to take pride in their success and act like we, the fans, had anything to do with it.

It’s exciting and fun, but that’s all it is. Don’t take it too seriously and don’t let it consume you or cause you real-life stress & anger when you have your own personal goals and dreams and stressors to focus on, things that actually impact you in a tangible way. Hockey fandom is fantasy.

Best post in this thread. Kudos

Welp!

Before the puck even drops, the Oilers Canucks series has hit a new low:
