I see this series going either way. Arturs Silovs has come out of no where and been lights out.

I’m interested to see how he does against a more potent offense.

 

[Shibumi]

I love this series matchup.

Canucks had zero ref support in round 1… now they play McCrybaby and the Coilers.

You can almost guarantee PP advantages will be 80% Edmonton & 20% Vancouver.

It is great to see you are already lining up excuses.

It will save time later.

 

[Riggins]

This is already unbearable and it hasn't even started

 

[BurnabyJoe7]

Don't say that to oiler fans they'll be offended. STUUUUUUUUU

If I was a flames fan I'd be signed off for the summer. But the wins are so much sweeter knowing there are rival fans like you out there.

So far that is the only series where the team with the worse regular season record has advanced. Why use the exception vs the trend?

So far there have been no upsets and every favourite has moved on. Oilers are the opening favorites if you want to go based on trends.

Different opponent changes everything. What we saw from Nucks won't be the same as against the Oilers. Same with Oilers. LA is much different than Van

LA never forechecks unlike Preds, LA has weaker D than Preds, LA doesnt have a goalie like Saros. LA was the weakest team in playoffs aside from Caps.

 

[LTIR]

Oilers are going to come firing like a V10 against a wounded Canucks team. Game 1 is likely going to be an Oreo slaughter

No one know what we are going to see in game 1. Could be a snoozefest or something to remember for ages. Hopefully a bit more exciting games than round 1 for both teams.

 

[Three On Zero]

Help me out HF. How many games for the Oilers? I would love to see the Canucks win but I am trying to win a playoff pool

5

 

[Slapshot_11]

LA allowed 33 less goals this year than Nashville and doesn’t have a goalie at Saros level.

Are you new to hockey?

Now google what is 1-3-1

Whose new here?

 

[Grifter3511]

Who the hell is Arturs Silovs?

Oilers in 7

The guy with better #s than Edmonton's starter.

 

[DegeN9]

Don't see why Canucks wouldn't be the huge favourites here. Ran away with the division and swept the season series.

That being said, this series does have 2022 Flames potential. Oilers are underdogs and all the pressure to win is on Canucks. Should be a good series, interesting to see which team will get better goaltending.

I see the satire is starting early.

McDavid will be flying, the series will have a lot more open ice. I don’t see game 1 being a snoozer, maybe game 2

 

[crazychimp]

Canucks winning the season series doesn’t mean a thing, those losses occurred early on the last game Mcdavid didn’t even play I believe both teams had clinched at that point anyway. Jets won the season series agains the Avs didn’t work out for them.

Oilers would have to be the favourites to win this given the star power and that power play. I expect the Canucks to come in and play the same style they did vs the Preds. There pk has to really bring it.

 

[Slapshot_11]

Those 40 year olds played better than EP.

Everyone does when they play the oilers with skinner

Vancouver had more PP in the regular season so I don’t see where this is coming from?

 

[Bizzare]

You're aware the Oilers have a 1-0 win playing exactly this style of full commitment to defense right?

That’s an interesting way of saying getting dominated that game.

 

[TruGr1t]

Canucks are playing house money at this point, season was a success after they were pegged to barely make the playoffs. I don't doubt the Oilers will be heavy favourites, but whatever, we've got work to do in the off-season. But anything can happen.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Now google what is 1-3-1

Whose new here?

And the Oilers had no problem torching the 3rd best team at goals against in the regular season.

 

[Hammman]

How could anyone watch the first round and come away with "Nashville is so much better than LA"

The delusional takes in this thread. LA was better than the Canucks in the regular season... The Oilers have been historically dominant against Nashville.

Regular season means nothing and I think recent playoff experience is the much better measuring stick.

Hope the business owners on Granville have insurance for the mouth breathing neanderthals that riot when they get bopped in 5 games.

Say what now?

 

[Quinning]

This is going to get intense.

 

[jackjohnson]

Nashville has the kind of offense that makes any goalie look good. Although I suppose the same could be said about LA.

Vancouver's huge edge in net was with Demko.

Vancouver still has that edge in goal lol. Again Silovs beat Saros twice and their team blocks every shot.

 

[KPower]

Oilers will smash them. 4 games to 1.

 

[NeverForget06]

LA never forechecks unlike Preds, LA has weaker D than Preds, LA doesnt have a goalie like Saros. LA was the weakest team in playoffs aside from Caps.

If the Canucks played LA they would have gotten eliminated

Being gifted pps will do that

 

[Mighty Makar]

When is game 1?

 

[LTIR]

LA never forechecks unlike Preds, LA has weaker D than Preds, LA doesnt have a goalie like Saros. LA was the weakest team in playoffs aside from Caps.

Fake news. Preds was a team full of meh including Saros.
NSH should've traded him when he could've net them a big haul. VAN with no namers in net won the goalie battle
