WCSF: Game 4 - Edmonton Oilers vs Vancouver Canucks, 7:30pm, ESPN

[Three On Zero]

Yes. Ekholm is banged up

Emotionally damaged after seeing the treatment McDavid got. Rather sit out than risk it happening to him.

Fake viking confirmed

 

[Brookbank]

Everyone cheered against Vancouver in 2011. I don't understand the point here?

Yes, the whole country was all catty about the Canucks. Oh well. This is why Toronto fans also get abused by Canucks fans.

Canucks fans didn't really realize how catty and worthy of our scorn the rest of the Canadian teams were until 2011.

 

[WetcoastOrca]

You mean the puck went in the net but no way to prove it? Consider the Nucks lucky in game 3.
4 posts and Oilers were dominating. If Skinner didn't suck, the outcome would be completely different.

Yes we know we’ve been lucky in defeating the Cup favourite Oilers 6 games to 1 this year. We’re just honoured to have our team sharing the same ice as the Cup or Bust team.

The dude is a number 5/6 goon defenseman - of course he will do something stupid.

Yet this "goon" leads all NHL defensemen in playoff goals

You seem to remove this wrong, Vancouver was dubbed Canada’s team in 2011. A minority cheered against them, and most from rival fanbases

 

[LuLover96]

So four shots wide. And there was no goal disallowed. Other than that you hit it out of the park!

If post is not good goaltending, then does that mean post is not good shooting?

To be fair - you guys did have Alex Burrows on that team....you can't blame anyone for wanting nothing but the worst for that guy.

You’re embarrassing yourself. Quit while you’re behind.

Zadorov would be Edmontons #1 defenceman this series.

LOL no.

a majority of the country was cheering against them.

The team from canada that makes it the farthest is always dubbed "Canada's" team by the networks.

Well - technically he is tied for 1st...

Guy has been a physical force and great in both ends of the ice.

 

[Three On Zero]

LOL no.

Oileritis kicking in big time here

2011 Is why I can never cheer for another Canadian team. Call me petty if you want but F em.

LOL - ok, the dude that is on his 5th team in 9 years is some elite goal scoring dynamo that can single handedly impact the outcome of a game.

 

[WetcoastOrca]

LOL no.

The team from canada that makes it the farthest is always dubbed "Canada's" team by the networks.

So kind of the Oilers this year with the majority cheering against them this year.

Agreed. Good chat.

Zadorov would be Edmontons #1 defenceman this series.

Why because he has 1 more goal than Bouchard?

 

[nucks88]

The Mayor of Rightville right here......

 

[MikeK]

Zadorov would be Edmontons #1 defenceman this series.

He'd be their #1 D period. I have no idea how the Oilers even made the playoffs with that backend. Garbage personified.

 

[CornKicker]

Let's not bash on Pickard until we win the game. I have a feeling Pickard will play decently well for the oilers

yeah i would pick-ard another time to bash him

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Why because he has 1 more goal than Bouchard?

That and his defensive and physical play. I’ve been impressed with Ekholm for the Oilers. He’s their best D imo.

 

[Three On Zero]

LOL - ok, the dude that is on his 5th team in 9 years is some elite goal scoring dynamo that can single handedly impact the outcome of a game.

How old is Hyman before he got a 50 goal season?
How old was Nuge before he hit 100 points?

Players don’t have linear development, the players around them also impact how they play.

 

[roon]

Agreed. Good chat.

Hahaha - he is a 5th Dman that has somehow scored more goals than he has assisted on.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

He'd be their #1 D period. I have no idea how the Oilers even made the playoffs with that backend. Garbage personified.

Yeah, hes definitely not better than either Ekholm or Bouchard.

Everyone hates Oilers because they cant handle a loss. They also think there is only like 3 teams in the league on the same level as them. Every other team is inferior and should be lucky to take a game or 2 off them. They only lose to cup champs you know.
