Pre-Game Talk: Oilers vs. Canucks - time to make Vancouver rainier than usual

[Bring Back Bucky]

Ain’t no f***ing hockey gods care about Vancouver. f*** that loser franchise. They are dusted in five and that’s only if skinner gives them one.

People need to stop saying this shit. It's not going to be a 4 game blowout. You guys are angering the hockey gods.

no

 

[Oilers in NS]

karma man

100%

 

[Broberg Speed]

I feel sympathy for Leaf fans today.

Same as when Winnipeg got eliminated.

 

[Oilers in NS]

I feel like our obnoxious behavior doesn't match the quality of players we have, in a good way. We're generally higher because our team is actually pretty good and any fanbase with a solid team is a bit obnoxious but I think we're still reserved because we have recency bias of some real bipolar play. Our organization's management hasn't been nearly good enough to allow us to transition to being elitist like a Boston or Tampa fan.

I feel horrible for Leaf fans today.

u will get over it. I cried when Old Yeller died but it was time

 

[TB12]

Wonder how much these guys get paid to stay and practice up here. Maybe with Hamblin they said you’re like forward #6, and he didn’t think it was worth it.

Hamblin is my neighbour in Edmonton and lives here in the off season so it’s definitely worth it haha. I was surprised that he wasn’t one of the black aces

Think about it, you celebrate when Toronto gets eliminated by Boston but what comes back our way, you don't remember being eliminated by Vegas?

[tardigrade81]

with A & W?
You could dip the chicken strips in the drink

Yup!!! A&W will be happening a lot now that it’s the second round!

 

[soothsayer]

Yup!!! A&W will be happening a lot now that it’s the second round!

I'm going to buy shares in A&W.

 

[Connor McConnor]

Canucks play a good system for a team like us, they are a modern day low event defensive first team that has the offensive players to punish off transition, mistakes and special teams.

That said, I think we have the depth and playoff experience to pull out the win. Oil in 6.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

I feel sympathy for Leaf fans today.

Same as when Winnipeg got eliminated.

You must be exhausting to talk to in person lol

 

[Bring Back Bucky]

6 games I figure

U going out to any games?

Holding out for finals I think.

 

[North Cole]

Lmao SC board has a poweolay thread now and ofc I have to debate some brain drain posters about how the Oilers were still the better 5v5 team... just because we killed them in special teams doesn't mean we didn't still win 5v5..outside of game 4, they lost 5v5 every other game.

Lmao someone tried posting CF% to refute us getting more powerplays, thinking that LA shooting from all locations is evidence of them controlling play.

Wtf is even going on this site.

 

[Oilers in NS]

Holding out for finals I think.

I think Im winning Lotto this week so I'll get us out there. I have a pile of Oiler fans up this way. Only smart ones in New Glasgow.

Yup!!! A&W will be happening a lot now that it’s the second round!

what did A & W stand for?
Arse & Wipe?

You must be exhausting to talk to in person lol

I feel bad for Winnipeg but definitely not Toronto

 

[tiger_80]

are we the first Obnoxious fan base? Cause we can get up there sometimes

We are the most entitled. lol

It will be interesting to see how fed up Eastern Media will get being forced to talk about Vancouver and Edmonton. My guess is they will still give equal time to the leafs; just because

Leafs media: Auston Matthews watches the Oilers vs Vancouver while ingesting junk food.

I feel sympathy for Leaf fans today.

Same as when Winnipeg got eliminated.

just don't!

 

[Salvaged Ship]

Oilers in 6, whoever cast a vote picking the Canucks to win should be banned for trolling.

 

[Zenos]

Seriously, it’s Cup or bust and your pining for Cagliano and rookies like Bourgalt, Tullio and Petrov? Wtf am I even reading here? Wake up.

Relax. You know what a black ace is right?

In a long playoffs with games every couple nights and mostly optional practices, these guys are just warm bodies to have around. Throw the AHL vets a bone for being good soldiers and give the up-and-comers a chance to experience the behind the scenes of NHL playoffs up close.

 

[Faelko]

Elston was awesome. His “Hockey Nightmares” in particular…lol

 

[Louis Cypher]

I have a feeling Perry and Henrique are going to step up this series. Foegle needs to pull his head out of his ass. He's brain dead sometimes.
Ryan is also good for a goal here and there. Nurse needs to hit the net with his shots and hurt their forwards when they come in.

 

[brentashton]

That cartoon brought back memories.

Somewhere in my basement I have a book of his cartoons. He was so good at capturing the essence of the issue, hockey related. I had subscriptions to The Hockey News from about 1974 to the mid 90s. His stuff in the early years was so good.

Whenever it’s this lopsided it results in a series loss lol

 

[Whoshattenkirkshoes]

I picked Oil in 6 but I don't think McDavid is 100 percent. He's still hesitant to shoot and that tells me something is up. Still, An 80-90 percent Mcdavid is still a powerhouse no doubt.

I agree with this. I think we 100% need to be talking more about why he isn't shooting

As nice as it is to see...the year the oilers faced the jets in the covid playoffs, the oilers were favored and were swept..Oilers have to be prepared.

 

[sepHF]

Can't f***ing way to destroy Vancouver lmao. No chance this series goes past 5.

It could easily go to 7, either team could win

 

[unicornBLOOD]

still no schedule?
