Shouldn't be an upset, slight edge to Edmonton going in but Vancouver is a good team. It's the media making it an upset.
Nonsense. I was just listening to the Bob Mccowen podcast and a media guest from Toronto was saying "common, we all know Edmonton is a way better team blah blah". They really believe that Edm is way better. Still.
 
Gutsy move by the Edmonton coach. Usually his two big pregame decisions are:
1. Play McDrai together or separately.
2. Play McDrai 23 minutes or 29 minutes.
This is on a whole other level.

exactly

people calling this an "upset" haven't watch the Oilers in the playoffs before...
Canucks swept them in the regular season, finished 1st in the division and 3rd in the Conference
Wow! Nice to see you converted after a year of reading PDO fraud posts.
Kudos! And I mean that sincerely.
New respect. 👍

It's allways the same . Sports media guys look which team has the bigger starpower and that automatically equates better team. Way too many sports media guys said the same thing about Bruins-Leafs. Just lazy talking heads shit . Like no thats not how you determine a better team
 
Only legit reason why Skinner is starting is that Pickard is hurt.

Reasons I can come up with :
- McDavid blamed Pickard for the GWG and demanded Knoblauch start Skinner to shift the blame.
- Holland is afraid of Pickard's agent's contract demands if Pickard wins Game 6.
- Owner's son likes Skinner better.
- Holland has appointments to see houses in Columbus to keep.
- Knoblauch wants to test how safe his job is thru McDavid Immunity clause.
- Owner hates the Alberta Premier and wants them to lose the bet.

Valid reason, tbf.
