I mean, we already were. Their entire argument has always been "we have Cups and you don't." This doesn't really change much.
They won a goddamn lottery and were eventually going to get their Cup. That core was far too talented to never figure out how to win.
At the end of the day, if their fans want to gloat, they can gloat all they want. We would be absolutely insane if this was the Canucks about to make history, so I don't really blame them.
The fact that we get to give Gary Buttman and his buddy Collin Campbell the finger is well worth any trash talk Oilers fans will dish out.
Yeah, try keeping the cup in the USA now you bald f***.

Meh, its all in good fun. I just want our team to win a cup, couldn't care less about the theatrics of rivalries since that just makes sports fun (for me).

I bet he's been shit posting in the Oiler's Around the League thread all season.

I think the league hasn't been spread this thin on talent ever. Not thin on talent, the league is more talented than ever; but expansion has really started to show its effects on roster construction. The flat cap we're just now coming out of didn't help, either. I think like, 19/20 of the cup winning teams from 2000 to 2020 would eat the breakfast of every single contender in the league this year. Colorado is washed and depleted, Dallas is old and slow, Vegas is old and slow, Boston doesn't have the depth anymore, Toronto's sad little window is closed, the Rangers are carried by Igor and lack truly elite scoring forwards and are weak at C, Carolina is done, Tampa is done, Florida is done.If the Oilers win I won’t even be mad, what an impossible comeback
Team with as many holes as them and on the brink of winning a cup is insane - imagine if they had better depth and goaltending, they’d be a dynasty….
But a game 7 loss would be pretty f***ing hilarious and seeing McDavid cry would be glorious. Please Florida
And with all of this in mind - teams like Arizona, Montreal, Ottawa, and Buffalo are spinning their wheels and can't escape the suck to take any of their places. The team that's going to win the cup this year has one good D pairing and Stuart Skinner in net, and a Canucks team with its best player nursing an injury, its top scorer out with blood clots, and its star goalie out for the series took them to 7. It's a great time for us to try to go for it, to be honest.

It's when you lose the chirping high ground that you realize it's a ridiculous practice in the first place that has nothing to do with reality. Then you mostly forget all this when you regain it.

Pettersson had 1 goal in 13 games, and let this happen. I will never forgive him until this team wins a Cup of our own.

Hope he's taking notes and doing his off season training seriously
Oh man that dumbass?
Worst part is this mofo tried to spin it around and say he did no wrong, only to be refuted soundly.
Just L on-top of Ls.

Oh man, just realize if the Panthers lose the return of 7uongo will come back to haunt him lmao. Instead of letting in 7 goals, his team will blow it in 7 games.

Yeah, I’m stressing for Luongo right now. Poor man. And I feel in my bones this one is going to slip away, too. I’m calling Oilers in Game 7.

I’m honestly believing there’s a real possibility the Canucks can win the Cup in the next few years because of this.

Paul Maurice pressers get old real fast when you blow a 3-0 series lead. Think he’s a little too concerned on the spotlight of the pressers than what’s at task here.
That is accurate.
Florida does not have the mental fortitude to overcome this embarrassment. Even if Collin Campbell is to throw the biggest hissy fit in his life.

If Florida loses, I'll still blame Gina
But if the team needs a good old fashion talking right now, it should be him.

And I’ve got to give the Oilers their flowers. Win or lose, coming back from 3-0 in the Final is insane. And they’re actually getting contributions from all up and down their lineup. I think Brown and Janmark in particular have been super consequential to this turn of events. And Skinner is being just good enough to get the job done.
Doesn’t hurt that Florida looks like the wind has gone completely out of their sales - but kudos where it’s due. There’ll be no living with them after this, of course.

All it takes is adjustments, Florida has one more game to make one.
