The Edmonton Power Plays
andrew88888q
Nux winning in Edmonton with oilers going 0 for 10 on the power play would be so sweet. You mean to tell me, McDavid is one of the best skaters in the world, but goes down like a Thai hooker as soon as someone breathes on him?

I mean we lost every regular season game to them… not sure what they saw that we all didnt but it clearly hasnt transpired

Okay, go ahead and downvote me, but genuinely, why does the media think they are “untouchable”? Those writers just thought they are the better team, whether that holds true or not is irrelevant, it’s just a sample of people who overvalued the oilers. If all those guys picked the canes to win their series would you say that they are making them out to be untouchable? Not everyone is hailing the oilers to be the next biggest team ever, as most of those writers had the stars or canes winning it all. And yes, the league isn’t helping by fining players who touch McJesus, so I agree with that stance, but you make it out to seem as though the oilers are the prodigal team to these writers.
Maybe I’ve missed something or am not seeing the whole picture, but at the end of the day, just my opinion.

Not a fan of either team but maybe we need to start the McDavids slightly overrated talk. He was absolutely horrible tonight.

If, and I say _if_, the Canucks win the series, that skilling it up guy has to include this list in the thumbnail of his video

I promise you any true Oiler fan doesn’t understand this narrative… we’ve literally only beaten them twice all year and 0 times in the regular season. Even if we get past the Canucks I don’t see us getting past the Stars or Avs.

It’s ESPN. Of course they’re useless when it comes to hockey.

If you think Vancouver is actually going to make it to the finals you’re on crack. Dallas will give them Vancouver fans something to actually cry about.

There’s just so much historical data of the oilers playoff success in the past five years

I bet the oilers in six and I’m still cheering for Vancouver

I mean… You’re acting like all of these people chose the Oilers for no good reason at all and it’s a conspiracy against Vancouver and all media is paid off/evil/stupid. If the Oilers are at their best, as in the depth scoring and hot goaltending of tonight combined with the magic of McDavid and Draistaitl and Heyman all firing at once, of COURSE the Oilers are a more talented and dangerous group than the Canucks, especially with Demko out. The thing is, this is playoff hockey. You’re not garunteed to get each teams best case scenario every night or even at ideal times. The Canucks were laughibly bad last game to the point that the Coach publicly called guys out. This game the Oilers goaltending finally became good and reliable, the depth scoring produced a bit, but the actual most effective part of the Oilers the PP and that top 6 vanished off the face of the fucking Earth.
I mean, who in their right mind would look at this series on paper at the start and say « CLEARLY The Canucks are VASTLY superior paper in EVERY way. No question about it at all! » They had 83 points last season or some shit like that.
I’m a BC guy I’ve lived in BC my whole life. I love the Canucks, I really do, but lately the fan base has been reminding me why it’s not exactly my favorite in all of sports. I don’t mind the casuals showing up in force, that’s great. But the loud and proud embarrassing ignorance I can do without.

I dont know most of these, but I legitimately think most of them only watched a handful of Pacific division games in the regular season. The Oilers were swept, outscored by like 25-8 and lost their 4th game vs. the Canucks just a week before the playoffs started.
How anyone can even say « Oilers in 5 » is beyond me.

If we started the series with a healthy Demko, I think that list would look slightly different. That being said, at least one guy kept the faith 🙂

Don’t treat it seriously.
Everyone is a genius in retrospect.
Man, why is it always a Canucks fan crying? Enjoy the win. Guy literally found a way to cry about a win.
You know what’s funny? I like the Canuck’s team. I really do.
I hate whiney fans like this though. It’s one thing to disagree with a call and moan. I do that sometimes.
But when you start saying, « everyone is against us » I roll my eyes really far back.
Be more respectful fans for your team. Fans are part of the game as well, and it feels like the Canuck’s 6th man is 20,000 Brad Marchands.
Need defense to win the Cup
A lot of people think they’re good at making predictions and most of them don’t deserve to have their jobs.
So tired of anything a Canuck’s fan thinks, lol fuck off, you have your riot shoes picked out yet?
