My not-so-bold prediction is that the Oilers have an easier time with Vancouver than they did with LA. Vancouver looked horrific in round 1. The Oilers are shredding that version of the Canucks worse than they shredded the 2022 Flames.

Shredded wheat is the worst breakfast cereal ever, can we viking smash them instead?

 

[FlameChampion]

We broke the Flames.

We dismantled the Kings.

Time to embarrass the Canucks.

I honestly won’t be surprised if McDavid/Draisaitl want to embarrass them after the regular season.

 

[Lehnerd Skinnerd]

It's not really a rivalry. The Oilers always kicked their ass, except for the decade of darkness.

And this year…

 

[Ritchie Valens]

I’m actually glad they swept the Oil in the regular season. The overconfidence and arrogance is absolutely astounding.

And this year…

Their Boozer is like LA's Kempe. Time to break that mad dog!

Thing about Eklohm is that he likes giving it to his fellow Nordic opponents. Like he especially searches for them to F with. Lol..too funny.

 

[McDoused]

Canucks fans bragging about how great their defence is.

The Canucks defence:

 

[North Cole]

Oddly less nervous for this series than I was for calgary

 

[bellagiobob]

‘We want Florida’ 2.0.

 

[AM]

When is the first game?

I’m actually glad they swept the Oil in the regular season. The overconfidence and arrogance is absolutely astounding.

Its defiantly a story line.

McDavid destroyed the Flames franchise. And now he has his sights set on the City of Vancouver. The riots will be delicious.

 

[Ninety7]

Preferred Nashville but if we want to win the cup we need to be able to beat everyone (obviously).

Reading the mains it’s clear that not many Vancouver fans watched the EDM LA series

What do you expect? 80% of them just became fans three games ago.

 

[MoontoScott]

Is Game #1 on Tuesday? Sunday would be a very short rest for the Canucks but that might be good for the Oilers. Concert in Vancouver on Monday IIRC.

If we get games 3-5 Skinner, we’ll be in good shape. If the refs start calling their diving, flopping bullshit like they did to LA, it’ll be even better.

For those that weren't on the internet during the period of hockey when the Canucks were good (it's been awhile) you're going to have the full effect of what their fanbase is like.

Yea I feel like everybody forgot. Like I said already their fans were so bad that this entire website was cheering for Marchand and the Bruins. That's a serious accomplishment.

 

[Oilhawks]

Flames fans whored themselves to the Kings bandwagon last round and it blew up in their faces and made them look like idiots. They are doubling down on their stupidity and joining the Cuck bandwagon. Perfect.

Imagine being so pathetic that you have to cheer for another rival to beat a rival.

Life of a fLames fan

 

[PositiveCashFlow]

What’s wrong with some of their fans? Hope there’s a way to put this up in their dressing room

 

[Oilhawks]

Reading the mains it’s clear that not many Vancouver fans watched the EDM LA series

Even if they did, would it matter? Probably the least knowledgeable Canadian fanbase

 

[Sra1974]

Not gonna lie I’m really nervous about this matchup. Can’t really put my finger on why. This feels like a tough out for the team,

For me, the biggest thing is this feels a lot like the Oilers - Flames series in 2022

And the bad thing about that, it pretty much became their Cup (to be fair, they didn't have the depth to beat the Avs). I think that this series could end up being too much of an emotional roadblock and winning it will be 'too important' in that sense

I see Tocchet already on his soapbox to the officials before the games are even played lmao
