Should be a fun series!
I'll be honest, as a Canucks fan I do not expect a win here, but I also haven't expected much from the team all year and they continually surprise me, so who knows.
Crazy that it's been 30 years since our last meeting, yet the rivalry (at least among fans) appears to be near it's peak.
This is where I’m at as well. Oilers are a wagon right now. If you told me at the start of the year Nucks would make the 2nd round, I’d have been ecstatic, anything on top of that is gravy.
McDrai looks downright scary. Van has had their number this year but most of those wins came while Edmonton was weirdly in shambles to start and the final one was without McD.
Would really love to have Demko going into this series, as good as Silovs has been. And really hoping Petey can flip that switch. He made a key play to set up the series winner, maybe that will spark his confidence.
Pretty great to finally play the Oil in the playoffs again, can’t believe it’s been 30+ years. That’s nuts.
Ideally the mods are trigger happy on watnings and thread bans early in this series, so many trolls in each fanbase. Otherwise these threads will likely be unbearable.
Here’s to a good series and hopefully some exciting offensive hockey w less of the trap both teams saw in round 1.
