Blackhawks showed pretty well how you beat Edmonton in the playoffs. They are a one line team. Stay out of the box and contain McDrai.

Isn't the Stanley Cup the American cup at this point? It's been almost 3 decades since a Canadian team won.
The Stanley cup is like the tens of millions of usd that NHL players make. Earned in the US enjoyed in Canada.

Sorry didn’t mean to confuse you. Just a remark on how most Stanley cup winning teams are composed of more then 50% Canadians so when players are enjoying their championship with their communities more often then not it’s in Canada.
That's what I figured you meant. Unfortunately for you, the truth is that most Canadian players....live in US cities. Yeah, their original home is in Canada, but that's not where they live, or spend most of their money.

McDavid had 9 points in 4 games. The Blackhawks failed miserably at shutting them down, Edmonton just got terrible goaltending.

If the Flames fire Treliving, can they also fire Brad Pascal so we don't have to deal with CCP anymore?

A one line team with two 100pt players each on their own line? You’re aware Drai had his own line last year with Nuge and Yamo right? And that he has his own line this year as well?

And if there were no US teams then the Canadian players would be enjoying their tens of thousands of dollars freely in Canada.
Just kidding.
Since Smith came back Feb 8th:
Oilers have allowed 1.86 GA/PG and goaltending has a .944 sv%.
They are 6 - 1 - 0 over that stretch. Also scoring 3.71 GF/PG.

The Hawks didn't do shit to contain McDavid. They were playing with house money (no pressure) and took advantage of a 4 month lay off for the Oilers.

Most players spend their offseasons in their hometowns, near their family. Buy a place for your parents, and a place for yourself. Many of them have wives they met playing junior hockey, who's families also live in...Canada. Go to the Okanagan or Muskoka, every second house is owned by a NHL player.
With that logic Vancouver should be the best team in the league and win the cup since they beat the defending champs in the bubble .. they are much more then 2 players
The Oilers have played the Leafs very close in all 4 of their games head to head.
When the Oilers get decent goaltending they hold their own with anyone in this division, so in that sense IMO other teams get bailed out when they don't.

I guess a lot of the Canadian teams haven't figured this out yet, especially the Flames. Maybe you can coach the Flames?
Tough night for you as a Flames fan I guess, huh, lol.
Chicago got outplayed in that series too by pretty much all the advanced metrics.
Yup, as my name says it all, I'm a bigtime Flames fan and my team sucked so hard tonight. We're going to tank and get that first overall pick.
Oh noes, not the user name defence. It's like Clark Kent thinking glasses will disguise who he is, lol.
What does all this have to do with the post where that poster says Chicago figuring out how to shut down the Oilers? Crawling out of the toilet bowl calling a poster a "Flames" fan with no base seems a bit awkward to me.
