I bet Hughes will be much better this series than he was vs Nashville. Petterson too, unless there's some injury issue with him that has made him quiet

For the Oilers, it will be McDavid. He was good against the Kings but he'll be better vs the Nucks

 

[jackjohnson]

If the Oilers can’t beat the Canucks, then this team can never win the cup. This would be the perfect revenge after the regular season just as the Avs had.

canucks in 5.

we swept them. they were our easiest opponent because they can't play defense.

McDavid, Draisaitl, Kane and Perry will grind the Canucks small D.

 

[RegDunlop]

How long into game 1 before the biggest crybaby in league history hides behind the refs? Canucks in 5

This from a fan of POS Petey

 

[Dust]

Probably be a 6 or 7 game series unless one or both teams goalies absolutely are terrible. I have edge to Edmonton, they looked locked in against the Kings, avoided all the undisciplined stuff and just were clinical on Special Teams.

Should be a fun one.

 

[KingPuckChoo]

Nucks owned the season series

If they're not too confident and show up big in Game 1

Given the goaltending remains solid and Hughes recoups

Oils' D & G will be exposed as it should

Nucks in 5

Canucks have a shutdown line that beat the heck out of ROR and Forsberg. So McDavid might not have that easy of a time if he is forced to defend with drysaddle and nurse on the same ice

The …. One small D?

 

[Grifter3511]

And the Oilers had no problem torching the 3rd best team at goals against in the regular season.

It's kinda crazy how certain teams and players match up well against certain teams and not so much against others, isn't it?

 

[Coffey]

Be careful what you wish for. Remember Leafs and their "we want Florida" chants

Like I said. If they can’t beat the Canucks, the team stinks. I’m not delusional and expect a cup but I can admit if the team sucks shit. And if they lose, you better believe I’ll call them out for being ass.

 

[Dempsey]

Canucks won the regular season, but you can't bring those wins with you into the playoffs. Now you gotta try to win four more.

It'll be a tough series. Every time I expect the Canucks to falter they don't.

Even as a canucks fan i find this to be a stretch.

Shame, wish we could just skip this series with a sweep.

Is zaddy really his nickname? Seems extremely weird for grown men to call him zaddy

Zaddy chill

 

[CycloneSweep]

It's kinda crazy how certain teams and players match up well against certain teams and not so much against others, isn't it?

And sort of crazy how the playoffs are entirely different than the regular season.

the Oilers forwards can cover flaws of the Oilers D and goaltending besides the Cauncks only had 10-15 shots lol.

Hughes got dinged quite a few times by Nashville's forecheckers. There was a few big hits he took where he was in visible distress. Oilers should be trying to target him similarly when they can. I think Nashville did a lot to neutralize him with the physical play.

Anyone have word on who is PBP?

Please not be Singh

Who is considered the #2 man at Sportsnet? I only know Singh and Cuthberg. Shorthouse is better than Singh, but he's Vancouver regional, so that won't fly. Though Singh is a huge Oilers fan.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

We just played the Preds, trust me they are better defensively and in goal.

And exponentially worse offensively.

Canucks have a shutdown line that beat the heck out of ROR and Forsberg. So McDavid might not have that easy of a time if he is forced to defend with drysaddle and nurse on the same ice

ROR and Forsberg are definitely comparable to McDavid.

Dont hurt your back stretching like that.

The Canucks D play like they are small.

Mcdavid and Draisaitl don't play together, and will be a much bigger test than Nashville's guys.

I agree, i feel LA 1-3-1 no forecheck system made Oilers too confident. Tgey havent seen what a forecheck looks like until now. Am waiting for Canucks to kill oilers in turnovers and counter attacks. Canucks are oilers kryptonite. People keep mentioning Avs and Jets but forget Avs is a championship team while Oilers arent.

Singh needs to suck on a ****.

What a weird comment, guess you haven’t watched the Canucks.
