WCF: Edmonton Oilers vs. Colorado Avalanche ( Avs lead 3-0 )

[OilerTitanFan]

Obviously the Oilers are a huge underdog but after basically taking apart one of the West's best teams I don't think they can be underestimated. Now, McDavid/Draisatl probably aren't going to put up 2 pts each every game again and it'll be important for the depth to show up.

With that hasbeen goalie in for the Avs, are you so sure about that?

 

[JoeSakic13]

McDavid and MacKinnon are gonna take turns scoring from the red line in this series.

 

[John Mandalorian]

You won't disappear if it doesn't go your way?

 

[Reddwit]

Your 25 years of playoff VIEWING experience (f***in lol) has never included a hate-filled Battle of Alberta featuring generational talent, so excuse me while I continue to ignore your PERSONAL standard for what the Playoffs should be.

I mean, that only makes it worse. It featured generational players…and yet most of the games against a weak Calgary team were close.

And don’t talk to me about hate-filled series, lol. You want to “f***in lol” about hate in a playoff series? I was watching the late 90s Avs-Wings series live. Facial structure got rearranged in those games. The “hate” that the Flames-Oilers exhibited was a p***y fest compared to those Avs-Wings series (or even regular season games).

Lol, and those series probably featured more HHOF-bound players than this Oilers-Flames will.

 

[JoeSakic13]

Over 70% of the poll has this series going to at least 6. I voted Avs in 6 myself.

Should be a good one!

YAWN.

I’ve been here longer than you’ve been posting bad takes. Don’t worry.

 

[KrisLetAngry]

Avs in 6 but honestly I can see Edmonton take the series. Holy smokes the team is not just McDavid and Drai show its full on.

 

[TheNumber4]

I see you have a limited arsenal when it comes to a defensive response. Not unlike the team you cheer for.

Nah just giving your horrible takes the appropriate responses like I said at the beginning of your mental meltdown.

 

[McFlyingV]

Avs should be able to handle McDavid better I'd imagine considering their dmen can actually skate.

Avs in 5. Mike Smith and that Oilers defense is going to be dominated. Hopefully some high scoring games

Maybe, but McDavid has had some dominating performances against the Avs. 10P in 5GP the past 3 seasons (really 2 of 3 due to Canadian division)

 

[TheGoldenJet]

Oilers meet their first real playoff team.

This should be fun.

 

[Dust]

It's coming down to the top lines. If Landeskog-MacKinnon-Rantanen can play even with the McDrai Kane line then Colorado will win the series.

I don't think they have to even play even, they just have to show up and it should be a great series. If they do a disappearing act like Gaudreau/Tkachuk they will be in tough.

I'm pumped for this matchup!

 

[Mike C]

Smith vs Kuemper.

really it's smith vs himself. he can win in for either team. which guy will show up?

Oilers intimidated Flames and can out physical Avs..... Colorado D won't be able to hold down Oilers fast break offense. Key is can Smith keep enough pucks out of net or will he let in too many bad goals

 

[Jesus Is Lord]

Oilers in 6. Slightly tougher than the Flames. Avs are sheep in wolves clothings. Pretenders, fakes, frauds.

 

[snag]

Either gonna be best two weeks of my life or worst. Expecting my cubicle to be trashed on Monday when I get in the office.

Where do you work? I can do the honours so your co-workers don't have any HR issues


edit: then again.....HR is probably Oilers fans. Yer f***ed lol

If you think that, wait until you see the Oilers.

Oilers are the easiest team the Avs have played, yes, including Nashville.

 

[BelovedIsles]

Looking forward to this one. Both teams play an attacking, open brand of hockey. Not your typical grind-it-out ‘playoff style.’

McDavid and MacK are treats to watch.

Smith has been shaky at times, but if he can be consistent he’ll give the Oilers a chance to take this to 6/7 games.

 

[CaleMakaw]

MacGinnon had a hard enough time not getting pinned in his own zone for 2 minute shifts against David Perron. McDavid is going to eat MacGinnons lunch then eat his ass.

AE/60 making its first appearance in the series.

 

[Tweaky]

Avs in 6, again.

 

[Jesus Is Lord]

That's what the Flames said too.

Including Nashville lmao. You almost had me for a minute there. Nice try.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

most had the Flames last round so time to shock the world again!

Let's Go Oilers!
Oil in 7!

 

[AMDZen]

Congrats to the Avs for winning and getting over the hump!

I am going with EDM in 7. As a neutral fan COL should be the favourites here but I just hope if we win or lose it goes 7 games. A superstar matchup like this should be entertaining. Plus just hope our home fans can see some wins on this stage again.

Ultimately I think we match COL fine on forwards. Goaltending for both is shaky but granted if Mike Smith comes out we might edge out COL there. We don't have Makar though and the COL D-group should be be the better guys. Ultimately COL should take it but I think if Mike Smith plays well you never know.

How tf are you going to claim to be a neutral fan and then keep using the term "we" in reference to the Oilers.

As a neutral fan I think the Avs have already played their most difficult opponent in the west and thus I like their chances

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Leafs swept the Oilers this season.
Leafs went 6-1 against the Oilers last season.

But hey.. don't let facts get in the way of your feelings.

The Pacific division playoff teams had a combined 0 playoff wins last year. Unfortunately, not everyone can play in the worst division in hockey to make themselves think they're good.

cope more...LMAO
Leafs are the biggest joke of an NHL franchise in the history of hockey...losers forever

 

[TheNumber4]

You’re literally making things up to soothe your dented Oilers-aligned ego. It’s wild to see this happening in real time.

Lol at the thought that you think you’ve dented any egos with your bad takes while your ego is OBVIOUSLY on full tilt right now.

 

[snag]

Can we at least keep the assholery down to a minimum?
