Can anyone deny the VAN/EDM series has been the best?

[Frank Drebin]

I've read a couple a couple neutral fans come in and say the hockey sucks or it's boring. Not sure what they were expecting, pretty fun hockey

 

[Frank Drebin]

I think what makes the Canucks series unique is that they’re not only facing the oilers but the officials as well.

Your post made me smash my phone and crack the screen. Congratulations

It's been very entertaining.

I don't think there's 2 teams that hate each other more than Vancouver and Edmonton.

Lots of great series.

This year might be the best playoffs I've seen in a while.

wasn't it 25/26 sports analysts had EDM over VAN

virtually no one had Canucks as the favorites once demko went out.

To be fair, a lot of Edmonton media were not as confident in this series as some of the national media. Most fans/media that actually follow the team didn't think it would be a cakewalk.

It goes to show how poorly the national media understands these teams.

As an outsider I for one am enjoying this series immensely!

Yup.

The ESPN prediction list had more of them picking Edm over Van, than Edm over LA. Crazy,

I've honestly not enjoyed this series that much. In my mind, in order for a series to be epic there has to be amazing goaltending.

And this series..well.. yeaaaaaahh

That's of no fault to Vancouver who is playing a 23 yr old third string, but that's just how the series shook out

I dunno if you can say Silovs has been anything short of great in the circumstances. He's faced a lot of high danger shots and really had one weak game in game one. The rest of the series he's been their best player.

In fairness, I can't think of too many teams that would be considered favorites with both of their goalies out.

What sivlos and the Canucks are doing is extraordinary

 

[Chet Manley]

It's a close series but neither team has looked good doing it.

FWIW, Edmonton is now playing their 32 year old 3rd string goalie, which is kind of even worse.

 

[jackjohnson]

This series would be even better if it was Jay Woodcroft behind the Oilers bench. Him challenging every Canucks goal.

That beaver looking coach would be funny to challenge every goal

Canucks looked pretty good last night

 

[Mathew Barzal]

Best is a vague word.

It’s the worst series in terms of quality of hockey.
It’s second best to FLA/BOS series in terms of bad blood.
It’s the best in terms of competitiveness in the second round ( VGK/DAL was best overall)

If that was them looking good than they are definitely the worst team in round 2.

The Canucks are PDO frauds all along anyways, that's what we Canucks fans have been trying to tell everyone, we are just fighting for a wildcard playoff spot.

Nashville's defense is going to expose the PDO frauds that they can't score.
Edmonton's offense is going to expose the PDO frauds that they can't defend.

That was a nice deflection.

 

[JAK]

That was a nice deflection.

I mean, Canucks looked like the worst team on the ice most games this season, that's why they are the PDO frauds.

But thank god Hockey games are decided by who scores the most goals, not by which team looked the best.

You probably just trolling if you think that leading oilers 3 to 2 makes them the worst team in 2nd round but keep sleeping on them. Best thing for Canucks is just win to keep the haters quiet

 

[BB79]

Absolutely the best series so far in these playoffs, yes. I wish I had a chance to watch more of it

 

[Hextallent63]

Yeah I must admit this series has been pretty great. I really want Vancouver to win, but I can't help but to cheer for the Edmonton goalies, bouchard, McDavid, Dreisytl, and Kane. And this is just the a****** in me but I have to mention the fact that I hate how much power plays become so important in the playoffs. But yeah it's been my favorite series so far.

Not trolling. If you think the Canucks have looked good this series than enjoy that I guess.

 

[thegazelle]

As an Oilers fan, and this series has been very fun to watch and has been thoroughly entertaining.

As a hockey fan, I could not have asked for a better series. It has every potential of going to a game seven, and even then it is anyone's game

That's my point. Their situation is by choice because their other 2 goalies absolutely suck; Vancouver just had injuries
