You played a low goal scoring series against a low goal scoring team. So congrats on a meaningless stat.

Oh wow Allstars? You mean something that half the players were fan voted in?

Jack Adams coach? You mean one of the most cursed trophies known to man.

Last Jack Adams candidate the Oilers played in the first round was Sutter and the Canucks. It means nothing

Regular season awards mean nothing come playoff time.

Lmao imagine making a “trophy is cursed” argument in a serious manner

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Two pretty even teams imo.

Why do so many people keep bringing up Zadorov?

The Canucks have about a dozen players I would worry about before him

Ditto for Evander Kane on the Oilers.

Lol. You'd have to add all 3 Canucks' goalies GAA (1.7+2+2.02=5.72) to get close to Cam Talbot's 5.30 GAA.

Congrats on lighting up a cold goalie.

Here’s the difference. If the Canucks lose, it will still a considered a successful season. If the Oilers lose, it will be another year of McDavid and Draisaitl wasted. You telling me Oilers fans would be content losing in Round 2 to the Canucks? Come on.

yup, it's called expectations...ours are high

but I do love the built-in excuses Canucks fans are coming up with already lol

 

[Three On Zero]

McDavid loves making Big Z like like a clown in the playoffs

Bringing up a series from a couple years ago is akin to bringing up the regular season

Lmao imagine making a “trophy is cursed” argument in a serious manner

Imagine using the “players who went to the All-Star game” in a serious manner

 

[LTIR]

McDavid loves making Big Z like like a clown in the playoffs

Guys like Zadorov will help keep Kane and Perry going physically.

 

[Coffey]

Ditto for Evander Kane on the Oilers.

He’s a different player in the playoffs.

Congrats on lighting up a cold goalie.

Congrats on struggling to score on a team who was worse defensively all year then Edmonton or LA

Excuses or simple reality? I know common sense is just so damn hard for Oilers fans

 

[WetcoastOrca]

This series has all of the trademarks of a long evenly fought series between two fairly even teams each with their weaknesses that can be exploited.
I had both of these teams in the secondary level of top contenders behind more complete teams like Vegas, Colorado and Dallas in the West and Florida and NYR in the East.
Both teams were fortunate to get a first round matchup against offensively challenged teams that couldn’t exploit their weaknesses.
It should be a fun series!

not really...Big Z is a pylon is the regular season....then becomes a pylon that tries to hit in the playoffs

Excuses or simple reality? I know common sense is just so damn hard for Oilers fans

so the Canucks are content with a series win? I thought the goal was the Cup?

I wonder how many are hiding Molotov cocktails in their pockets

No we are gonna be a lot more satisfied with a series win and losing in the second round, you know, being that we didn't make the playoffs last year, being that we aren't currently wasting a generational players golden years, you know that sort of thing, I know, I know this wasn't obvious to you, that common sense thing getting you again.......

This was the likely matchup.
I have Edmonton over Vancouver simply due to McDavid and Draisaitl. They are insane playoff performers. It’ll just be up to the rest of the team not to roll over. They are a much better team then they were going into the playoffs last year.

Edmonton was also a pylon for 4 games in the regular season, see how silly it sounds?

Different players, different situations

 

[WetcoastOrca]

He’s a different player in the playoffs.

Every series is different. He’s low down my list of Edmonton players that worry me.

Congrats on getting swept in the season series & using the, "it was early in the season," excuse when the expectation was Cup or bust before the season started.

Ok cool.

I mean. We moved on to the second round. The regular season sweep is irrelevant.

I didn’t know a regular season series meant the Oilers season is done?

I'm sure the Jets are stoked they swept the Avs in the regular season

Sure. There’s reasons to pick the Oilers and reasons to pick the Canucks. But it will all come down to what happens on the ice not what posters and analysts think.

 

[Three On Zero]

I'm sure the Jets are stoked they swept the Avs in the regular season

Like Oiler fans are with how Zadorov played a couple years ago?

Oilers are not the Avs.

If it was Cup or bust this year, the Oilers weren't prepared. Now they gotta go into a series w/ self-doubt.
