Can't wait to watch McDavid cry to the refs. Going to be a fun one!

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

This time it'll be Tocchet throwing his gum at the refs after the series ends.

It’s too bad for Vancouver that Tocchet can’t suit up. He used to be an amazing player.

How could anyone watch the first round and come away with "Nashville is so much better than LA"

The delusional takes in this thread. LA was better than the Canucks in the regular season... The Oilers have been historically dominant against Nashville.

Regular season means nothing and I think recent playoff experience is the much better measuring stick.

Hope the business owners on Granville have insurance for the mouth breathing neanderthals that riot when they get bopped in 5 games.

 

[Lehnerd Skinnerd]

Had to look it up, as I’ve only been watching hockey since 2006, but I was surprised to find out that these two teams have only met twice in the playoffs, and not since 1992.

Always a great regular season rivalry, hoping for a fun series.

Mccry baby will get smashed by Zaddy

Finally a fanbase to talk trash with. LA fans were too hard on their team. Didn't leave much for us to bash. Bring it on Nuckers in knikkers

 

[CpatainCanuck]

Unless Pettersson turns it around the Canucks are in big trouble.

 

[jackjohnson]

Meanwhile every home game has been backdropped by beautiful sunshine and the broadcasts gushing about the city’s beautiful scenery. But OK lol.

He means McCry baby will cry a lot in Vancouver and make it rain

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Last game the Canucks used a backup goalie.

Silovs look's good though, better than DeSmith.

 

[CycloneSweep]

How did the lowly kings put 5 past you in a game?

A lot of lucky bounces and our goalie had a bad night. How did the lowly Predators put 3 past you?

 

[Petey O]

There will probably be 10 goals scored each game. This matchup just screams all offense, leaky defense. Will be fun to watch.

?

The Canucks have an incredibly structured defensive system. I suppose it is possible with a third string goalie in for the Canucks, but I feel like the Canucks are going to frustrate the Oilers quite a bit.

The Canucks are not a run and gun offensive team at all.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

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

If this Shilov kid is the real deal, I want to see how long the team can ride him out for. Who knows maybe he takes them to the Stanley Cup final and he goes on a Cam Ward run.

zaddy sure shut them down last time they faced off in the playoffs lol

 

[bobholly39]

Oilers in 6. I was gonna say 5, but I'll be generous and say 6

 

[jackjohnson]

Unless Pettersson turns it around the Canucks are in big trouble.

I think Pettersson will have easier time to score against the porous oil defence and boobchard cant defend

 

[BelovedIsles]

Will be interesting to see VCR's defensive structure, grit and Cinderella goaltending against one of the best offenses in the NHL. The Oil have just enough D and G to make a run, and I see them prevailing.

Boobchard lmao

Our D is much better than the Oilers. Its goaltending that will get us.

 

[Despote]

Because the regular season doesn't mean anything. The avs just smacked the jets around despite losing the regular season series. Canucks also without Demko.

So far that is the only series where the team with the worse regular season record has advanced. Why use the exception vs the trend?

 

[jackjohnson]

Silovs look's good though, better than DeSmith.

Silovs is probably better than skinner too

 

[Mighty Makar]

Unless Pettersson turns it around the Canucks are in big trouble.

He will.

 

[DimitriL07]

Obviously Oilers are the favourites. But we match up well with those guys. It’s gunna be a close competitive series for all y’all saying the Oil are gunna steamroll us. Pressure is all on them to win now. We shall see what happens.

 

[jackjohnson]

Our D is much better than the Oilers. Its goaltending that will get us.

Silovs is better than Skinner. He beat Saros so skin boy is not much competition for him. Oilers can score but Canucks will score more in this series

 

[onetweasy]

Nashville is a much better team than LA. And Vancouver beat them in six. If Edmonton versus Nashville faced off Edmonton would lose.

Start preparing your “if Demko wasn’t hurt the Oilers lose this series” posts now.

Since we’re just making shit up - the Oilers would have swept the Preds.

P.S. What’s your plan for the Flames draft party?

 

[Chairman Maouth]

Silovs look's good though, better than DeSmith.

DeSmith was excellent too.

 

[Orca Smash]

Canucks love to take penatlies and the refs love to gift oilers powerplays.....oh man

This is true, tocchet will not question a ref, and does not want his players doing it. Some fans think it works but it does not. They walk all over van, and you are 100% right. If questioning the refs didnt work you wouldnt see Paul Maurice or John cooper questioning them. The zebras love to call a tocchet game, wont get much flak from vc.
