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

[KCC]

Nucks are in for a rude awakening when they realize the Oilers won't be gifting them Grade As all game like they were at the beginning of the year.

The one thing is they do have skill, good goaltending and do work hard. If edm comes out flat or has too many lull’s it could come bs k to bite them. And skinner esp needs to be sharp.

Let's f***ing go. Should be a whale of a series. The boys will want this one BAD

We won't sleep against these Nucks. McDrai may want this revenge more than they wanted to beat the Flames that year. But unlike the Flames series, we're no longer a clownshow defensively.

 

[bellagiobob]

Looking at both arenas schedules, looks like Tues and Thurs in Van and then game 3 back here on Saturday. Caveat would be if the league wants to really speed things up and start on Sunday, which would be great for us.

Oilers revenge tour. Who the hell takes 4 wins in the regular season as meaning anything. The Canucks are already being crowned, that's why you take the ice.

We smoked Vegas last reg season and it meant nothing. Winnipeg smoked Colorado in the reg season it meant nothing. Let's see what happens. Won't be free by any means but should be very entertaining

Need a strong series from Nurse - Ceci pairing. If not, might need to put in Stecher. Imagine Stecher being the x-factor of this series.

This is an exciting series. I'm hype

 

[McDoused]

We broke the Flames.

We dismantled the Kings.

Time to embarrass the Canucks.

 

[Inf123]

miller just said in post game that he had heard they start sunday, so not sure yet what the starting date will be.

 

[K1900L]

Doesn't matter if Demko plays or not. They have to beat them in any way.
If you lose against the Canucks you certainly wouldn't have won against the Avalanche/Rangers/Canes/Panthers either later on.

Will be a tough matchup.

 

[PuckG]

Oilers in 6.

 

[PuckG]

Canucks are much closer to the Preds than they are the Oilers. They were lucky that series didn’t go 7.

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Been wanting this second round matchup. There's now money on the table for McDavid and Draisaitl.

 

[Mr Kot]

Gonna say in 7, gonna be a good series.

 

[Soli]

JT Miller in the post game said he heard the series started in a couple days (Sunday). Hopefully, less rest for the Nucks, the better.

 

[dssource]

Drai said he really wanted to play the nucks, so he got his wish. I can see him having another strong series.

I heard Sunday start as well.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

Oilers in 6 was my choice. This should be a really physical series.

 

[TheNumber4]

Struddy did say he heard the boys wanted Van. If true, Van's gonna get pumped.

 

[Pavel10]

Petterson and Hughes are soft as hell. Kane and Perry must impose their will.

McDavid said he really wanted to play the nucks and intends to break all individual series records. Should be a good one.

Trying to specifically remember the last time these two met in a playoff series and I can’t. It’s gotta be mid 80’s right?

 

[PuckG]

Playoff style hockey should favour the Oilers. Pound away at Hughes, Pettersson and co.

They have few guys nasty enough to respond to the Oilers if you make this enough of a shit show.

 

[yukoner88]

I'm ok with that. Allow whatever was ailling McDavid at the end of the regular season mend up and allow him to be healthy for gm 1.

Fun fact about Orcas, they have blow holes.

Rd 2 in '92

Think we’ve only played them twice, in 1986 and 1992. Oilers won them both.

 

[backhandsauce]

This is gonna be awesome. I live in Van and I'll be going to game 1.I'll be wearing my Messier Oilers jersey to mess with everybody. I'm so pumped.

I might check out the black frog for this series. I’ve never been. Apparently it’s an Oilers bar
