Don’t confuse the Canucks fanbase with your own. We know it’s not over.
You guys were thumping your chests and picking the Oilers in a sweep or 5 games before the series started.
Glad to see a little more humility now.

Like who ? Who's saying the season is over ? I haven't seen any
Refs need to start calling it fairly. Edmonton didn't get a single power play last game (aside from automatic bench when they scored). Canucks got 3.
Oilers has no issues with Canucks getting powerplays but it can not be so shamelessly one sided.

Was there actually Oilers fans saying they were happy they got the Canucks for the 2nd round over the Preds ? I heard that some were saying it but never noticed it myself. That takes a special kind of arrogance if that was the case.
Oilers fans in full on panic mode now. Interesting turn of events from the chest thumping we saw leading up to game 1.

i want the bartkowski thread back
are you not going to mention that one of the vancouver power plays also wasn't subjective
The refs in Game 1 were fantastic.
Edmonton isn't going to be getting all kinds of manufactured PPs when the whole game is being played in their end of the rink.
When the Oiler fans Big Blown Call was an iffy gloved puck in a non-dangerous area, you know a 1-goal playoff game has been reffed well.
Panic mode? I'm very confident in this team. I don't expect there to be zero penalties called on the Canucks.
Oilers scored on their automatic penalty for the bench infraction and not a single call all night.
Once again I have zero issues with Canucks on the pp. Just cannot be so one sided. The funny thing is as for "panic mode" apparently all I've been hearing about all day is "da league sent Sutherland cuz he hate us" Surrey tier caveman talk.
It's not even puck drop and you're already at an "11". Take a nice walk and relax, dude. Everything will be ok.
Most fans want to see the game officiated in that middle ground where it’s not “by the letter of the rule book” which results in a penalty feat and no flow and “let them play” where nothing is called and it becomes anarchy.
Penalties in a general sense fall into 2 groups.
Undisciplined. Self inflicted where you are over aggressive or careless or lazy. Hands/elbows are high, stick isn’t in the ice, not moving your feet is what will get you into trouble. If your opponent plays well, they won’t commit these fouls. This fewer PP chances for your team.
What your team can control is putting pressure on the opposition and forcing them into mistakes. Means winning battles. Force them to take penalties as a last resort.
Well see how much you feel the refs were "fantastic" when it's 4 1 penalty calls the other way. All day I've heard apparently how worried you guys are about Sutherland. I guess it's a thing. Pre game "panic mode". "the league sent their best to get us"

EDM in a lopsided win tonight and likely take the series in 6 games
One sided? 3-1 was a little too much for you? You'd be happy with 3-2?
Fans when their team isn't involved: Call the game properly. Don't game manage.
Fans when their team is involved: The refs need to even up the calls. This isn't fair!

If we spend the whole game in your zone again and it's 4-1 PP advantages in your favour on rinky-dink calls of course I'll be upset.
But that isn't what happened in Game 1. You were badly outplayed and the PPs were 3-1, and legitimately so. No neutral fan would have had the slightest issue with the reffing.
If you want to draw PPs, maybe don't go 23 minutes without a SOG.
Also the Canucks went 0-3 on the PP and Edmonton went 1-1 so it didn't even affect the game in Vancouver's favour.

edmonton had a 20-12 pp advantage and nashville had a 22-13 pp advantage in the first round
As a neutral fan I enjoyed the first game entertainment wise. The better team clearly won and looks en route to take the series, objectively speaking
The Canucks shutout Nashville in game 6 closing out the series and didn’t get a single power play. Stop your whining and go grab a snickers.

I liked it! Thought it was funny. See, that’s a good song/video for a hockey rivalry… even though it’s against my team, I can appreciate it.

VAN out played EDM in game one for sure. I also have no dog in the fight but I don't consider VAN elite or a serious contender for the cup...I do with EDM
Nashville was a good team and played better than the Oilers did against the Canucks last game.Um there is a massive difference in oilers pp and Nashville. Lol thinking youre world beaters squeaking by Nashville.
The better team won game one. We will see what game 2 brings.
But the power play is all they have!
