Honestly, as a Canucks fan, I feel like considering the situation, the Oilers are now the favorite of this series and the pressure is on them, to be honest. I'm certainly not expecting much, and kind of haven't since Demko went down.

As well as Silovs has played, who knows how exposable he is by a team that actually knows what they're doing offensively, and the team definitely plays more conservatively in front of him/DeSmith, limiting their offensive ability.

Hey. It's playoff hockey. You catch a hot streak who knows how things can go.

Also Vancouver is no slouch. They made is this far.

Hoping for a return to our regularly scheduled programming of the Canucks not playing hockey like a bomb is about to detonate in the back of the opponents net.

 

[ghostingtaro]

hfboards crashed lol

 

[Mr Positive]

The Nucks swept the season series so it's only fitting that the Oilers sweep the post-season series

 

[nucks88]

What's the status on demko?

Don’t need him for this round… it’s only the Oilers …. Rest him for the Avs…….

 

[Slapshot_11]

Did you watch the 2022 series where McDavid abused Zadorov?

No, I'll be watching the 2024 series where he makes mcdrai his bitch

 

[BusQuets]

Nothing against Vancouver but this is fast 4-0 or 4-1. Only Nashville and Saros' super series would have made this interesting.

I agree, I'm just putting forth the objective argument to debate the favorite/expected outcome.

 

[VainGretzky]

Canucks will sweep the oilers again. Going for back to back sweeps. One in regular season and one in playoffs

Still no reply from you on my 1000$ wager

 

[TheStruggleIsROIL]

The only ship to never dock in the port of Vancouver, championship. Oil in 5

 

[CycloneSweep]

Easy? Because they're not getting past Vancouver

Didn’t you say the same thing about Edmonton getting past LA?

 

[Zanon]

Canucks are the clear underdogs in this series. No one in the media is going to pick them against the “Cup or Bust” Oilers.

I do feel like it’s just going to be one of those things where the Oilers have already paid their dues in the playoffs. Canucks are playing with house money.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Oilers in 3.

 

[soothsayer]

Lol. Nashville played a hell of a defensive system, the oilers suck defensively. One team played playoff hockey and won, the other feasted on a team that couldn't stop a beachball.
The oilers were terrible on D and the nucks will expose these losers.

You're acting like everyone didn't just watch how shitty Vancouver looked.

 

[nucks88]

The Avs are a buzzsaw. You might as well forfeit now.

Class of the League…

 

[logan5]

He’s back on the ice taking part in practices

No he is not taking part in practices. Light skating. He is weeks away, if not done for the playoffs.

 

[suddeninterest]

Both teams will now play someone who can actually score which is nice. Hoping for some barn burners. No suffering through 1-3-1 here.

 

[bringbacktheskate604]

Is Demko done for the playoffs or is he expected back at some point?

He's back on the ice but not exactly when he's returning.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Mostly unknown but rumour is he could be back by the late 2nd round

That will be a huge boost and advantage for Vancouver if he plays in this series. In the meantime that canucksbbackups have been buying him time really well.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Canucks are the clear underdogs in this series. No one in the media is going to pick them against the “Cup or Bust” Oilers.

This series is gonna be closer than either fanbase thinks.

 

[Matty Sundin]

I’ll say Oilers in 7 and probably a few games pond hockey games like the battle of Alberta a few years ago. A healthy Demko could be the difference here though.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

No, I'll be watching the 2024 series where he makes mcdrai his bitch

AI generated content isn’t that good yet.

 

[Shareefruck]

Is Demko done for the playoffs or is he expected back at some point?

A lot of people were reporting that he was done for the play-offs, but he was shown to still be mildly practicing recently, so who knows.

 

[SopelFanThe3rd]

Oh man this series is gonna take this board down with the back and forth between fanbases.
