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

[snipes]

So it looks like based on the posts here that McDavid, Draisaitl, and the Oilers don’t even deserve to be on the same ice as the Avs. Guaranteed Avs series win with ease.

Hopefully the boys come out flying with a chip on their shoulder.

Game seven, Oilers down 96-95 with 2 minutes to go in the third.

McDavid has 93 points, Draisatl has 91 and Kane has 96 goals.

Rantanen dumps the puck, it bounces off the boards to the face off dot. Mike Smith comes out to play it.

Kadri full speed runs into Mike Smith vaporizing him into dust. 5 minute major.

McDavid to Draisatl… 96-96 going into overtime.

Puljujarvi skates down the ice, accidangles Erik Johnson, Puljujarvi shoots, misses the net, bounces off the boards, hits Erik Johnson and goes into the net. 97-96 Oil.

Fans throw their 10$ Rogers slice of pizza, Pool Party picks one up off the ice and walks to the locker room.

Oilers go on to beat Tampa in 9.

Avs in 6, I think they'll ultimately win but McDavid will light Keumper up at least game or two.

The 2019 love in the HFOil and HFAvs had is over.

It’s a destiny that we both knew we’d be the class of the West at one day and have an epic showdown.

Alas, here we are.

@Ginger Papa pump that shit straight into my veins. You know the meme.

Hey brother,

I have a great respect for the Avs Board & enjoy visiting them. However, without hesitation I’m going with the Oilers here. As the saying goes, Go home with the person you went to the dance with.

Here’s to hoping we have a legendary Series between amazing Offensive talents on both sides

Haven't heard this excuse before.

Edmonton fans are obsessed with their WCF arrival after a team with an AHL defense took them to 7 games and then beating a paper tiger with the worst goaltending I’ve seen in my quarter decade of watching playoff hockey. Adjusting to a better team is an actual thing.

 

[PuckG]

So for a total of one series you guys were the underdog and thrived in that role?

It certainly beats being the favourite and squandering it over and over again wouldn't you say?

Point being: everyone discounts the Oilers and have from the start, but fortunately we're still here. Amazed that someone can even overreact to my original post but here we are.

I predict box lacrosse scores and at least one game with multiple 5 goal swings... Should be fun.

I'm hoping the team that wins this goes on to win the Cup.

Barrie, surprisingly hasn’t been burned once these playoffs. Super solid. Has a new found focus on D and positioning.

Good to hear. It was more the fact they are very good friends, that's all

Say what you want about the blues defensively, they played the Avs very close in that series and made it really hard for the Avs' best players (to the point I think it significantly effected the blurs o-zone play). The oilers just can't do that to the same level so I fully expect a high scoring series.

Avs in 7.

 

[Foppberg]

Friedman and Co are so giddy right now.

 

[leafsfan5]

Colorado in 7

I think McDrai continue on a torrid pace, but free wheeling hockey also allows Colorado to get going. Now that they've gotten over the second round hurdle they should have a ton of confidence

 

[AvsFanInMichigan]

welcome oilers fans here’s to hopefully a wonderful series and I hope wonderful discussions take place that aren’t train wrecked by delusional fans like what happened with the blues series. I’ve got the Avs in 6.

I for one think you hit the nail on the head.

The Flames started the series the 3rd best defensive team in the league. I personally don't get the desire to diminish that the Oilers played well enough to beat them, but I guess the frustration of finally making it past the 2nd round after all these attempts and finally at the same time as the Oilers must be blowing over?

And yes, we're a hockey city. We love that we're in the WCF.

 

[missingjibbsclub]

Can't wait to see McDavid fire it the f*** up in the WCF. Guy is gonna be canned heat.

 

[Empoleon8771]

I think the Avalanche officially deserve the "choker" title if they don't win this series.

 

[DieselBoy]

Last time these two teams faced off was in 98? Avs lead 3-1 and ended up losing in 7. Doug Weight, Bill Guerin, and Boris Mironov were the big guns for the Oilers. For the Avs.. well everyone knows who they were.

 

[The Moose]

Avs in 0. The Oilers just don't show up at the rink, less embarrassing than losing every game 13-0.

 

[UnrefinedCrude]

The only question is if they play on the same nights as Basketball, which game will have the higher scores?

 

[Ararana]

Should be a fun story line for this series

I’m a Wings fan. I don’t have a dog in this fight. But I’ve watched a ton of playoff hockey in my life and the Oilers-Flames series was literally the worst collective example of playoff hockey by two teams I’ve ever seen. The Flames were a paper tiger. That isn’t a new concept.

Edmonton’s miracle run ends this series. Mack and co are going to put them in their place

 

[WatchfulElm]

McDavid just seems unstoppable right now. And Kuemper is worse than Markstrom. It won't be easy for the Avs, even if they are the favorites.

 

[Da McBomb]

Let's see if McDavid has another gear. I can't wait

Feel bad for the goalie who wins and has to face the behemoth king of all kings, gods of all God's Vasi in the SCF.
