I’d rather see the Jets win the cup than any other team

Wish PoMo won it with us in 2018 but alas was not meant to be. Hope he gets it next game

How sweet would it be to see the cup given to a man who represented our team for 10 years and did a lot of good work in the Peg … at the same time watching the best oiler team in generations lose at home and never build a team this good again

I think that would warm many Jets fans hearts


Edit: don’t forget Blue, plenty of Team Canada’s have won. Olympic gold in 2010 comes to mind, lots of junior medals….

The Edmonton Oilers aren’t team Canada

Hey, this Panthers coach seems pretty good, why couldn't the Jets have hired him?

 

[ps241]

Oilers with a hell of a run but just like the Habs a few years back if you fall short it’s just as miserable if not worse than it is for the other 31 teams.

As McDavid himself said it’s cup or bust.

 

[bustamente]

I wonder if the HC of the Oilers will flaunt his big balls and put Pickard in net for game four

I’d bet seriously surprised if he doesn’t stick to Skinner at this stage.

 

[Aggie204]

A possibility: Tkachuck taking a lap with the cup in Edmonton.

 

[AlphaLackey]

Bob is the reason Florida will win this. Not blaming Skinner for the Oilers losing, but the quality of the goaltending between the two teams is huge.

Hope Helly is watching…

It's almost like Skinner was exactly who so many people were saying he was, and that whole "any goalie can play at a super-Vezina level for 15 games in a row" streak mid-season really was that.

 

[AussieBomberJet]

Florida going for the sweep!!!!!!

 

[kanadalainen]

The lob is up, up... and <crack> its out of the park!

 

[Jets 31]

Edmonton fans ......

Loving this for Paul Maurice.

The Edmonton Oilers aren’t team Canada

Disclaimer: I have met a few individual fans of other teams that I really like and would be happy for……………but

Team Canada, hell yes if we ever play another best on best.

NHL teams based in Canadian cities I feel zero connection to. In fact its the opposite, they are our competitors and we are all chasing the same trophy. I blame HFBoards for getting to know 90% of fan bases too well, but sorry, if not Winnipeg I don’t want most of the other fans celebrating in our face (to be clear I am sure we are just as obnoxious to them).

If I wasn’t on HFBoards I might feel differently but I have never really felt any type of connection to “Canada” when it comes to the NHL. It’s a club competition.

The one exception is Ottawa. Not sure why but maybe it’s that they feel like underdogs like us wedged there between two original six giants. I wouldn’t be celebrating but I would not care.


My 2 cents

 

[10Ducky10]

Oilers' fans are not happy with Nurse.

"I mean, he's the one who's engendered the anger with his two cent pea brain. Nevertheless, I'll gladly drive him to the airport with a f***ing smile on my face if they manage, miraculously, to find a buyer for him and his terrible contract. I don't give a f*** if it pisses off McDavid, Nurse has regressed at the most important time in the most important series and he is not coming back. He should never, ever don Oilers silks again."

The funniest thing about it is that while Nurse has been.... Nurse, Bouchard has had a greater negative impact for the Oilers in this series due to plays that directly led to back breaking goals, lack of discipline and composure, and the evaporation of his ability to generate offense both 5v5 and on the pp.

But. Bouchard is the young darling, so...

Its funny how all team boards are essentially the same.

Nurse has been bad all playoff while Bouchard was part of the highest rated defensive pair of the first three rounds.

I wouldn't be too shocked to see Edmonton back in the final next year. They seem like Florida who learned some tough lessons last year in the Final.

Yeah, they have the bones for sure.

I was talking specifically about this round, the one that really matters.

Bouchard is probably the player more than any other on the team that's boned the them.

Ofc it doesn't help when your 2 best, world class players are producing shit.

I agree he hasn't been good but my main point as to why Nurse is getting the attention is he's been bad for longer and also making more than double what Bouchard is.

Yeah that's fair.

They'll have to bring back Draisaitl. I suspect they will, but you never know.

Edit - Looks like he's got one more year. Disregard me haha

The Stanley Cup is a club trophy awarded to a team in a specific city... it is NOT a trophy awarded to a Country.

Buffalo has never won the Cup. Do you think people in that city are happy because Florida wins it? Will they be more OK with missing the playoffs for 13 straight seasons, because they can wake up and be happy a U.S. team won it?

How about San Jose, Arizona, Nashville, Minnesota. Are they all going ... USA USA after Florida wins?

People need to get over this...

 

[Joe Hallenback]

They still need to figure that out, they can't just let him walk. They actually have a lot of work to do in the off season

 

[King Woodballs]

I guess it was the roster and not PoMo afterall….

 

[Joe Hallenback]

I guess it was the roster and not PoMo afterall….

Its all style. When the Jets were going on their run we were pretty hated. We pushed teams around and that is what the Panthers are doing couple that with their goaltending and some world class players like Barkov and Tkachuk its easy to see them in the finals

 

[CorgisPer60]

I guess it was the roster and not PoMo afterall….

A bit of both. I always wanted to see what PMo could do with a good team. We saw that in 2018 and now in 2024. He's an average coach, but a good talker. He could have won in 2018, but Vegas and MAF decided to be f***ing irritating. The Jets were the better team in that series. Maurice fired himself because he saw that he couldn't fix stupid anymore. The Jets' adherence to loyalty will always be their downfall. They need to have a more mercenary approach to it. They can't worry about paying KC in 3 years. He won't be anywhere near worth what they will pay him.
