Find a quote of an Oilers player hoping for the Canucks.

Let em make up stuff. It's gonna be a lot more fun in the end

 

[BHD]

Oilers in 5. Much like the first round, they will be too much for the Nucks to contain.

 

[TruGr1t]

The Oilers special teams have found another gear, and so has Skinner. He has a shutout too

Most of all, the Oilers D system is miles better than last year

We just played the Preds, trust me they are better defensively and in goal.

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

That really depends on which officials show up and whether they actually bother to enforce the rules, or “let them play” only to call a random soft penalty at a crucial time of the game.

In all seriousness, the Oilers are clearly the favourites here but they also carry the weight of expectation. And I think they leave far more space to exploit than Nashville did.

You're a stat checker who doesn't watch the games. If it wasn't for Saros Vancouver wins this in 4, 5 at most. They dominated all but 2 periods the entire series.

I'm sure Silov and the Canucks will shut down arguably the most potent offensive team in the playoffs based on their play against arguably the worst offensive team of the playoffs.

This one is going to be a little toxic.

I did. Eye test it was pretty even, analytically Nashville was the better team. But okay. “Domination”

Special teams would be huge. Oilers will likely not have the same success so will need to be better at ES.

Welp all the pressure is on the Canucks , but this gonna be wild.

Good for rivalry???

 

[BWJM]

One thing we can all agree on…

There will be a Canadian team in the WCF.

That series was tight and could have easily gone to 7 in either teams favour.

It was by no means a Vancouver domination.

 

[JAK]

Canucks offense will have more space to work with in this series, watch out.

There is literally no pressure on the Canucks at all.

[jeblers]

[Aqualung]

Oilers in 5 probably

LA taught Edmonton the 1-3-1 and we trap better than them . See games 4 and 5.

I don't understand this point of view at all.

It was probably 50/50 if the Canucks would be a bubble team before the season. They're playing with house money.

Edmonton is/was contenders before the season. Their own players were saying cup or bust. Pressure is all on Edmonton.
