WCSF GM01 | Vancouver Canucks vs Edmonton Oilers | Wed. May 8th | 7pm PST | SNP/CBC | In Arturs We Trust

Now hold on. The regular season has no bearing on the playoffs. Right?

Right?

RIGHT?

My bad, the Predators were the stingiest, toughest, most best-est defensive team in the league, based on the 6 game sample we were privvy to. It had nothing to do with the opposition shooting blanks, nothing at all.

 

[Chairman Maouth]

Here's to a warning free evening

Here's to the impossible.

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Who told you that the Canucks struggled with the Preds ?

Took the Canucks 6 games and the Oilers 5 games with Skinner stealing one.
No team really struggled.

Oilers fans love to shit on the preds. If the Oilers could play a defensive game like the preds (which they cant) They would already have a cup.

There's nothing wrong with the Preds, they were one of the best teams in the league in the back half of the season. They were not among the stingiest defensively though.

McDavid must be extra motivated tonight since he didn’t get a top 3 nomination for an award he had no business being nominated for

I thought I read where they had the best PP down the stretch. Which is strange because they don’t have many game breakers other than Josi.

He's taking the Norris and Vezina's next year, just you wait.

On the other hand, some Vancouver posters act like beating the Predators' defense was like overtaking the 2014 Canadian Olympic Team.

Fair point, definitely. But they were very stingy defensively against the Canucks. As well as crowding the shooting lanes, those m'f**kers were literally diving in front of shots to block them. There were times when I wondered if we would ever get a shot through to the net again.

 

[WetcoastOrca]

I’m genuinely shocked the Oilers ‘only’ had the 4th best PP this year. Thought they would have run away with top spot again.

Oilers allowed fewer goals, shots and expected goals than Nashville. Weird take.

Oddly enough the oilers blocked more than the preds in round 1

 

[BaldAndBeautiful]

Remember Oilers/Canucks fans....it's just a game.....don't kill each other tonight

 

[Three On Zero]

Whatever happens tonight, @Three On Zero still can't park here.

That’s like, your opinion maaaaaan

Let’s all hope for a short pregame and an early puck drop! Only 1 anthem!

Over or under on 10 or more posts complaining about the anthem singer.

Oh lord you’re right

 

[EchoesoftheEighties]

I have some good friends that are Canucks fans, they're a great group of guys and are super passionate about their team.

For the next 2 weeks, f*** em.

Right?

RIGHT?

Does it or not? You've flip flopped in your past three posts.

 

[Cool Hand Puke]

@Troll Stomper going to work OT tonight.

 

[ViD]

How in the world it’s their first meeting since 1992?

Canada sucks at hockey

 

[WetcoastOrca]

One lineup change for the Canucks tonight.
PDO is healthy again and will be playing.
