Easy Oilers victory with this

If that’s the outlook on injuries, then where the **** is Demko when your team needs him for the games that matter most?

Whataboutisms are the essence of conceding defeat.

 

[SupremeTeam16]

I didn't know Roy played for the Oilers

Roy doesn’t have as many Cups as the Oilers but he’s got 4 more than the Canucks.

This was before the first round. Whatever that is can no longer be used against us.

 

[iCanada]

The old guys are scoring on the nucks... Just wait till they see the Oilers.

 

[jackjohnson]

NHL should start this series when NYR plays in 3rd round. Pathetic scheduling. Canucks need to wait for 1 week to play

 

[RegDunlop]

He’s an amazing player and will play at an elite level likely into his late 30’s.
Could end up the fourth best player I’ve ever had the honour to watch if he keeps this up.
No one is catching Gretzky and Orr in my books. Nor Lemieux.

F**k
I have to agree with a Nuck's fan!

I have been very blessed to have seen all of them as well. No one will ever come close to Gretz for me. Orr was incredible and so revolutionary. And with Lemieux I think I would have appreciated him more if I'd seen him more than I did. I was too focused on Oilers. Saying that - I am just beginning to appreciate all of McDavid. Mostly that I'm fortunate to see another superstar.
I was having a hard time putting him up there with those 3 but the more I watch and realize what a talent he is, it's getting easier.

OK that's it! Vancouver sucks. Pete's a pu**y, Hughes can't defend, JT is a goof blah blah blah Oilers in 3, burn down the city, pass in Stanley Park, and... of yeah... take the p3nalties so we practice our version of the globetrotters!
Cheers

Neutral fan here, looking forward to this series between two teams with not much rivalry but a rivalry between the fans. Lot of good players on both teams but like the depth and size on the back end for the Canucks that will create fits for the top heavy Oilers. If Silovs can frustrate the Oilers this could be a quick series for the Canucks. But the Oilers do have Mcdavid who will grab them a game or two. Canucks in 6 imo

 

[Brookbank]

You must be one of the many new Nuck fans that hopped on the wagon again.

Oilers didn’t play the Nucks in the bubble playoffs, dumbass.

I meant that the Canucks went further in that format than the Oilers did.

Anyway the point was, this isn't some "career year" season for Canucks players.

Petterson had 89 points this year and 102 last year.

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.

 

[HockeyWooot]

I'm going to go off script here - I want to talk about a memorable Oiler memory I have.

Todd Marchant's game winner in overtime vs Dallas in 1997. In fact, that whole game was absolutely electric. Joseph's eye popping save in OT, and then Marchant just turning on the after burners, blowing by everyone and scoring that goal - as an objective third party, that's one of the more memorable non-Canuck games I've ever watched.

Todd Marchant. Super fast, that guy could fly.

 

[Brookbank]

If the season series was the other way around (4 losses for VAN) the "regular season doesn't matter" trope wouldn't have been uttered once.

Boston and Vancouver swept their 1st round opponents in the regular season and won the playoff round.

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.

Regular season and post season stats only matter when they fit certain narratives

For sure.

Agreed. All have improved as expected.
Will be great to see Quinn win the Norris.

Agreed. Some of the comments in here are unhinged (from both sides). A lot of Canuck posters I’ve never seen post on our board as well.

Does Toronto even count?

Agreed, I think some people are going overboard. This is suppose to be entertainment, not the end of the world if your team loses. We're all friendly and peaceful Canadians here.

I dunno, pretty sure it is the end of the world for some, they way they're defending the shots hurled back n forth people don't fight that hard for something they believe in unless it's to the death!

Just don't make it a habit.

Oilers got all the bangers.

 

[2for1PizzaPastuh]

Oilers are going to show the Canucks just how easy of a R1 matchup they really had.

 

[End on a Hinote]

It’s strange branding, have never heard anyone remark one way or another about pizza from Boston

Apparently it's actually hockey related (shocker, right!). I've heard that the founder was a big Bruins fan hence the name.

Interestingly enough, along with BP's, NY Fries, East Side (NY) Mario's and Montana's are all Canadian chains....go figure.

 

[bringbacktheskate604]

that wasn't Round 3

Actually it was. Play in round 1. Round two was against the blues and round 3 was Vegas. The play in officially counted as round 1.
