This series can't start soon enough. 52 pages of stupid so far. I expected it to be pretty childish, this has exceeded my expectations before the games actually started lol.

Internet forum degens from both cities have been waiting for this matchup since forever.

It’s truly a special time to be alive.

Just proves how many idiots there are in each fanbase sadly

Sucks for them their goalies never show up, but I guess they’d have to have a good one to start with.

so long as the Canucks continue to be one of the worst shooting teams in the league like they have all season, Oilers won't need a goalie to stand on his head

 

[rypper]

Fair enough you found an example from almost 3 years ago. Slap that bitch label on him.

 

[Old Boys Club]

Sure, but what fun is that?

Haha, at least we're self aware. I fear many in this thread are actually getting worked up about this.

 

[Regal]

I think one of the biggest question marks for the Canucks is their PP. Their PK was strong against Nashville but they’re not going to keep the Oilers PP off the board and while I think they might be able to win the 5v5 battle, they’re not good enough to overcome a dramatic special teams difference. Canucks PP was at 25% up til February but has been at 18% since. That’s not going to cut it. And there wasn’t anything in the Nashville series that suggested it’s suddenly going to get better.

You asked for an example, no?

It's nice to be playing a team that we have an actual rivalry with. This is gonna be fun.

Worst shooting teams?
You’ve spent half your posts this year complaining about the Canucks unsustainable PDO!

 

[Pavel10]

Tale of two cities.

Edmonton fans allowed to congregate and have tens of thousands at watch parties.

Vancouver fans cannot for fear they'll burn the city down if hyman gets a hattrick or something.

outside of Game 6, the Canucks averaged less than 20 shots against a team that was 10th worst in SA in the league lol

Sure. And they swept the Oilers and finished higher in the standings. None of that is relevant for this series.
Focus.

Oilers fans have been beating the shit out of each other every game, whether win or loss, but go on........

of course its relevant...this happened in the playoffs

 

[WetcoastOrca]

It’s as irrelevant as the regular season sweep. Every series is different as you should know from prior years experience.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

As a Canucks’ fan, I’m just happy to be watching them in the 2nd round. That said, I think there’s a lot of Oilers’ fans selling Vancouver short here.

Yeah, the superior complex is getting really weird coming from a fan base that has been witnessing the best player wasting his career year after year.

Btw, all the Oilers cups are as relevant as the 1915. Vancouver cup

Check out the shot attempts and blocks, they'll paint a fuller picture. Nashville was throwing their body in front of everything.

Regardless of who wins this will be a legendary series.

Idk I felt like the Battle of Alberta from 2022 got a lot of hype (and to be fair, that first game lived up to it) only for the Flames to get spanked

 

[AvroArrow]

I wonder how many are hiding Molotov cocktails in their pockets

I don't get the reference ?

 

[PULSATING]

I was hoping this thread would at least be kinda funny.

I know you're new to playoffs, but it relevant when it happeneds in the playoffs

It’s pretty warm here so probably not needed

We don’t have snowstorm in Spring
Rarely in winter either

You’re in for disappointment. Expect a lot of riot and Edmonton mall digs from each side.

see 1994 and 2011 riots
