Don't think Zadorov is going to see too much McDavid. That is probably going to be left to Hughes & Hronek.

Canucks are far better off to use Zadorov (and Lindholm) to attack Edmonton's depth.

 

[Rowlet]

Funny how these same cocky Canuck fans were afraid of playing LA but think they’ll beat Edmonton . Smh

That's a concern because of team playstyle. The Kings are more effective at slowing down the game and stopping the Canucks from entering the neutral zone with speed, something they love to do.

The Oilers don't care and would rather run and gun, which the Canucks are happy to contend with.

Zadorov can be used for one big hit against Mcbaby so he stops running around lol

I think Oilers fans, vegas and many analysts will be in shock once Canucks play very well in the first game in Vancouver against Oilers. Vancouver has some offense, it was just blocked by Nashville shot blockers and pass blockers. I dont see Edmonton D playing anywhere near the stifling defense Preds played.

Hughes is literally going to be a stain on the boards. I can't wait for the full blown meltdown when Kane and Perry crush him and the pp gets to go to work.

You're right. I think it's safe to assume that the entire locker room is terrified of *checks notes* Corey Perry and Evander Kane.

One big caveat to this chart is that the Predators played 37 minutes on the power play to the Canucks' 21 minutes. That factor more than accounts for the difference in O-Zone possession time, which is shown for all situations here.

Commonwealth Stadium I believe.

Lmfao

Wow thats the biggest lie since US went to war against iraq due to WMD. Whats next? Edmonton is more beautiful than Vancouver the delusions of some oilers fans is next level

Please have zadorov match up against McDavid this series. That should have the same effect as sending Reeves out to "punish" any opposing first line.

We unfortunately won't see that because RT possesses a brain unlike some people on here

Hughes is too shifty for Perry.

It's cute that you think either could keep up with him.

 

[34]

I am not a fan of either team. I think the Oilers absolutely smash the Canucks.

 

[Three On Zero]

Neither have crushed him yet to date, not sure how they would start now

 

[Navx94]

did ya NOT see the ???? in my statement? Demko comes back Canucks in 5

Goodluck with that.

 

[Spawn]

Glen Sather predicts the Canucks.

Cool?

 

[Navx94]

Edmonton has no defense which plays right into hands of Canucks. Garland, Mikheyev, Hoglander, Pettersson etc. Will all now be more effective with less shot blocking from Oilers D and juicy turnovers. Preds played a stifling defense with great goaltending, now Canucks have breathing room to create offense.

Yeah create offense and end up taking the puck out of your own net.

It sounds like you’re expecting October Oilers. Which is fine, just seems a little weird.

To me this is all about Special teams. 5-on-5 the Canucks are far the better team.

But if powerplays start getting handed out, Canucks will need an elite PK or else the Oilers are winning

He say this himself?

Yes, no one in the world has been able to do that in nine years, so it will totally be Zadorov kicking it off…

Never say never

What a fantastic series for neutrals. We now get to watch the incredible contest that is which is more entertaining: the hockey or the pissing match between both teams fans

You can talk about any month oilers if it makes you feel better but they still wouldnt touch the stifling defensive game preds played against Canucks and they had huge hits too.
