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

[Throttlehead]

Will be a hard wake up for most of the Nucks fans barely got past the Preds

Dont think a 3rd stringer goalie will get us in trouble. Demko back probably little more. 4-1 or 4-2 but no drama.

That 3rd string goalie is actually a very good goalie.

Our keys to winning is matching their work rate and knocking the shit outta Hughes, a LOT flows through Hughes.

At first it was end of season is too condensed then it was we better get some rest before playoffs, and now it’s too much rest.
Some here need to quit complaining.
McD himself said rest is a weapon, I don’t see a problem here.

 

[McSuper]

All I can think of Leaf fans is that scene in Waterboy where they show all the interbred fans. That is Toronto

They would of had to been good for them to suck again. Matthews winning the rocket is their claim to fame and their Stanley cup.

We'll see. The Preds really didn't test him much. He had 1 really good game and two mediocre games. He's had some weaker performances in the season as well. He's far from a sure thing.

Well the guy(silows) has 4 -5 Nhl games this season and this isnt Nashville, let see when he goes up against McDrai and Company and our pp.

Agree on QH, dont give him time to make plays or skate out of problem, dont think hes suited for tight psysical playoff games. But dont give them to many pp, thats their biggest chance to make a splash.

I’ve wondered this. When you get your avatar taken away, how long is it for? Like when do you get it back?

I’d hate to see you lose your avatar. That one is awesome.

 

[rboomercat90]

Find and give a hug to a Canuck fan today!

Just like we did with LA!

Just be careful you don’t catch something.

 

[rboomercat90]

I can proudly say I've fated the TML as long as I've been alive.
But I hope you'll forgive me for beings a Habs fan until Edmonton was born

I was a Habs fan until 1979. I hated the Leafs back then because HNIC was the only place to watch NHL games and sometimes they’d televise the crappy Leafs a few Saturday nights in a row and you’d miss out on watching the Stanley cup champions for a while. Now I hate the Leafs because all their media and most of their fans are delusional idiots.

Agree. This might be a long series and being a top heavy team more reliant on 2 players who may see a shit ton of ice time, the legs will be fresh to start. Good to go.

I have to find one first.

No luck so far.

IM COMING HOME FOR ROUND 2.

Boarding the KLM flight right now!!! Can’t wait!

 

[KCC]

A week off shouldn’t happen but it is what is is. At least the travel for edm will be easy. Lol

 

[Seachd]

and Cuthbert has been swallowed by PC agenda.

Cuthbert is fantastic.

Err...wasn't Adin Hill Vegas' 3rd stringer?

Thompson was their starter during the regular season, then Brossoit in the playoffs until he got injured.

 

[PositiveCashFlow]

Were Calgary fans this bad in 2022? I don’t remember any of them rallying behind a 9 year old kid… well… you’ve seen the video

 

[tiger_80]

They are overly aggressive for nothing... It's like they are trying to make this bigger than the battle of alberta. It just comes across as desperate.
Calgary is the little brother
Vancouver is the cousin you're forced to hang out with

Vancouver is an obnoxious uncle you detest, but have to tolerate at the family re-union.

 

[CupofOil]

Not to generalize an entire fan base but this is why Vancouver comes across as idiots. Like McDavid is the best player in the league and chanting profanities is classless. Just doesn't seem very smart.

Eh, we do that all the time here. We're not chanting it in public but, still, there's a lot of profanity and then some directed at the opponent on a regular basis not just here but any passionate fanbase really.

Now....rioting and burning down cities is another story.

 

[CornKicker]

aside from the fact the oilers are deeper and better the deciding factor will be playoff experience. if im coach knob im sticking holloway and mcleod on the JT miller line because its the only one that can hurt you.

Yeah, don't doubt how hard the Oilers can try to help create a new underdog goalie legend with a pass parade. Francouz came in cold against us too and we made him look like Hasek 2 years ago after we were stomping Kuemper. We were owning LB, then he gets hurt and we were aiming for crest, or limp wristers along the ice on Hill for the rest of the series.

The only starter I actually worry about vs the Oilers is Oettinger. All the other teams, I actually fear how we will act against a backup or 3rd stringer more than their starter.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

This is funny, they're sort of already rattled

Lol ok.

They clearly don't watch the Oilers and are just worried about our pp if that's what they're thinking / saying.

lol no. Because most Canuck fans don't act like they've been there before

Because they haven't. Bandwagon town.

I feel bad for that kid. Sikh parents don't play, based on my experience growing up in Millwoods.

I'm not a religious man, but I pray for that 9 year old.

Imagine they had to play the Avs.
