The smugness a certain fan base has all due to a win at Bettman's slot machine known as the draft lotto in 2015 is rather amusing.

JT Miller is going to make at least 1/2 of the two man show miserable in this series. We saw it in the first game of the year where he got in his McFace and Hyman got beat up trying to save him.

Canucks in 6

McCrybaby and Dry Eyes only wish they’re half the man JT Miller is.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

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.......

nah these are all excuses for you to be "satisfied" after this series

win: "omg we beat the Oilers...LMAO! sweet"
lose: "oh well, if weren't expected to make it this far anyways...still a good season"

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.

You are just speaking nonsense at this point. You move goalposts so much.

If man is decided by size of forehead you got a point.

and the Canucks aren't the Jets

 

[petterdaddy]

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

I can use real stats to prove the Canucks curbstomped the Oilers all year I don’t need to consult a psychic to make my arguments. I get that it’s difficult for Oilers fans to assess actual coaching skill given their hiring pool consists of “anyone who worked with young Connor” but maybe if you stopped letting him run your team you’d actually have success instead of Campbell in the minors.

 

[snipes]

Oilers should definitely do this... it would be great for the Canucks. Oilers goaltending, D and defensive play is nowhere on the level as the Preds, they could take those shots because of the team defensive play and having a top tier goalie. I'm sure McDavid will not enjoy playing against the Canucks big, gritty and hard hitting D.

Interesting that the Oilers allowed less goals against.

Makes you think.

 

[LemonSauceD]

and the Canucks aren't the Jets

Canucks are closer to the Jets than Oilers are to the Avs lol

Fake news. A 4 game sample size against the Nucks is the only thing that’s real. The other 78 games are make believe.

You are just speaking nonsense at this point. You move goalposts so much..

and youre speaking about foreheads?

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Canucks are closer to the Jets than Oilers are to the Avs lol

kinda similar....the Oilers and Avs stars showed up in the playoffs

the Canucks and Jets stars didn't

lol why are they wasting McDavids golden years? They've been in the dance for ~5 years in a row now

Colorado just finally won, i wouldnt say they were wasting MacKinnon. Washington just won and i wouldnt say they wasted Ovechkin either. They iced competitive teams and finally found a way

It's hard to win the cup, especially being a Canadian team, it hasn't happened in 30+ years. Its a competitive league with lots of parity and hockey has to be the most random sport out of the "big 4"

Not everyone can be Sidney Crosby yknow?

Usually when your team is awful enough to draft first overall it takes many years to rebuild the roster to the point where they're a contender. Hockey is a team sport you don't automatically get handed the cup because you have a good player. Look at what happened to Tampa this year and Kucherov popped tf off

 

[CycloneSweep]

and youre speaking about foreheads?

Other dude was talking about being a man so I responded with something just as silly.

Ok bud, I can see this concept is too hard for you to grasp, it's my fault, thinking you had the ability to.

I watched the oilers play against some 40 year olds and plugs

You realize that LA is younger than Vancouver right? And Edmonton is the 2nd oldest team in the league?

Vancouver is 28.6
LA is 28.4


Edmonton is 30.2

the only team "older" than Edmonton is Pittsburgh

 

[WetcoastOrca]

and the Canucks aren't the Jets

Nor are the Oilers.

well whats the point?

 

[Three On Zero]

Nor are the Oilers.

Jets didn’t get swept by Colorado

 

[josra33]

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

Including a 7-0 thumping right at the end of the season

 

[Nucklehead Supreme]

well whats the point?

More pressure on the Oilers than Canucks, way to jump into a conversation, not knowing at all what was going on,

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

Not looking forward to Singh/Oilers broadcast team.

Why can't they do half & half, DeBrusk & Shorty...

 

[Navx94]

??????

Adams and Norris nominee and the ran the division from day one. Demko comes back? That add a Vezina nominee? Nucks should be favorite

Yet they’re not. Are you the doctor that cleared demko?

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Nor are the Oilers.

you're right

again, our stars show up in the playoffs

 

[SupremeTeam16]

This reminds me of the Oilers Flames second round series a few years ago. Flames unexpectedly had a 100+ pt regular season where they absolutely abused the Oilers. They had probably the best first line in hockey that year with Lindholm, Gaudreau and Tkachuk who scored a pile. They had Vezina level goaltending in Markstrom and a stout D that many said was one of the best blue lines in the league.

Can everyone just relax?
Here, enjoy this really nice view
