Also, can we please get some creativity when we're trying to make derogatory nicknames for players/teams? The next person to use McBaby, or McDiver, or McWhiner should have to walk across a floor of legos at 3am in the dark. Just absolutely pathetic creativity. If it's going to get spicy in here between two hated rivals, let's bring it up a notch over what I'd expect out of a six year old.

I concur, the lobs thrown back n forth are pretty pathetic lol. Let's get creative ppl!

It’s the same thing as the “ haha another first round exit for the leafs” that y'all have no problem saying every 43 seconds.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

You swing your stick like a baseball bat you better expect to get rocked

From the front, sure. Zadorov is just a coward and never saw a hit in the numbers he didn’t like.

 

[Dust]

I personally like McNuggets.

That's not really a derogatory term though, everyone likes Nuggets.

 

[BoHorvat 53]

He played way above expectations this year for the Oilers. I thought for sure he was a horrible pickup but he's played quite well in my opinion. It'll be interesting to see him in a playoff scenario but he's stolen a couple games for the Oilers this season. Most of his career he's been ass, but this year might even be his best one yet (at least from what I can tell).

Regular season is a different story than coming into the playoffs for the pressure cooker of a scenario he is in.

Well yeah that one’s actually funny because here you all are after another no show from the big four.

 

[DS7]

Calvin Pickard has literally never started a playoff game in his life, has a career .904 save percentage and Oilers fans are clamoring for him to start lmao they are so f***ed.

To be fair, neither did Silovs before this. The unknown can be alluring

 

[Hank Plank]

Has anyone considered that every Oilers goalie in the playoffs soils the bed because they lack team commitment to defense?

What? It's the same thing as someone saying "Haha the Laughs are terrible" maybe. But otherwise you couldn't have missed the mark more if you tried.

 

[Canuck Luck]

you mean after Soucy cross checked him the first time?

It’s funny actually the scummiest play there was Zadorov, you could tell Soucy didn’t mean to hit him in the face and actually looked like he reached down and apologize. Russian Shrek didn’t care though.

Not Oilers fans complaining about dirty plays when they have guys slew-footing and slashing players in the groin. The Canucks are just getting even.

Something Something drive Pettersson head first into the boards. I'd say we are even .

 

[Izzy Goodenough]

The thing is, the Canucks can play better.

 

[TheUnusedCrayon]

Refs are meh. But it goes both ways. In all series. Just gotta go with the flow the best you can.

Yep. Personally I think they've been horrific and both ways in all of the games but they favored the Oil in games 1 and 2, and then the Canucks got the benefit in game 3.

 

[thekernel]

Is it time for the $25 million man...Jack Campbell

Oh Christ, the media call-out from your own coach. Like damn Knoblauch you're still in this series, keep that s*** to yourself

 

[syz]

Stuart Skinner let in 4 goals from the goal line in game 1.

Have you seen some of nicknames used over at HFOil? It’s like taking a trip back to grade 7.

Speaking of no shows, McDavid looked rough eh?

 

[JAK]

Not any Oilers coach.

 

[TheUnusedCrayon]

Absolutely. Same could have been said about Silovs though.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Tbh he cant be worse than Skinner

Vancouver’s getting .930 playoff goaltending from some guy they found wandering the streets of Riga, might as well see if we can catch lightning in a bottle with Pickard.

 

[LivingRentFree]

Have you seen some of nicknames used over at HFOil? It’s like taking a trip back to grade 7.

That’s because if you say anything remotely funny it’s usually a time-out.

 

[BoHorvat 53]

We've seen Silovs in high pressure environments thrive - he won the IIHF WHC MVP just last year. He just turned 23 so we know that there is room to grow for him. Pickard is nothing but a journeyman, and if your hopes are pinned on him you're hopeless.

 

[Dust]

That's a Team board, I expect a little more of out of the Main boards.

I don’t blame oiler fans for hating on Zadorov. Coward isn’t the right word here tho, Zadorov isn’t afraid of anyone on the oilers. Tough guy Kane has been ducking him all series.
