GDT: WCSF | VI | "Because It's The Cusp" | Oilers vs. Canucks | 5.18.24 | 6:00PM | SN/CBC

[Warh1ppy]

Vancouver is an up and coming team that hasn't proven themselves in the playoffs yet. It's natural for fans to be unsure of what you're capable of and so far the Nucks have beaten a very bad Nashville team and are up 3-2 against the Oilers who are pretty flawed themselves. Credit is given when it's due, Vancouver has looked really good so far but if they advance they're going to have beat Dallas, an echelon of team no one on this core has played so far.

You fans have this chip on your shoulder like you're defending champs or something. Just enjoy the ride man. Your team is looking good! No need to care so much about other fanbases' opinions of your team

Haven't proven themselves?

Nashville a bad team?

Vancouver is on the cusp of beating the heavily favored Oilers to progress to the WCF. They only played 3 games against the Stars this year and played them tight every game losing two games with one

W 2-0
L 4-3 OT
L 3-1

Won the season series for faceoffs, takeaway and giveaways. Almost equal in hits

Sorry mate, the Canucks heard this against Nashville after limping in to the playoffs after a lackluster last 20 games. Then again against Edmonton.

Fans will be fans but if the Canucks DO win tonight I think the Dallas series will also be a lot closer than some think. The fact they're where they are right now when other heavily favored teams are not suggests they may have proven that they do have some playoff success

I say this after putting $$ down for the Oilers to win in 6

Please let there be a controversial GI like the one last night.

Campbell ship sailed along time ago .

You mean Campbell ship sunk along time ago.

 

[eviohh26]

Is anyone else annoyed at people that bring flags into games? If someone was blocking my view with a flag I'd be throwing all my empties at them .

 

[robertocarlos]

I remember nothing from 2011 except for the riots. I could not name one player from that series.

 

[Dust]

Sportsnet calling it a chess match? Lmfao the Oilers game plan makes checkers look complicated. Put in a shitty goalie and ride McDrai 30 mins

It's still chess when you start down 5 pawns but you have an extra bishop and rook.

 

[Nemesis Prime]

expecting me to stand? at home? for the national anthem? now that's funny.

That covid shortened season was such a blessing in disguise

 

[Love]

Edmonton copied former Canucks anthem singer Mark Donnelly letting the fans sing. They just copy us with everything. Zero originality.

 

[eviohh26]

And what the f*** have the Oilers done? Besides beating the shitty ass Kings every year and then getting clapped right after

Bro they only lose to cup winners. It's different .

Didn't you start this whole exchange by bitching about "Vancouver fans"? And you're surprised you're getting blowback?

For what it's worth I do think that there's a bit of an inferiority complex and it continually manifests with 'well at least we don't live [x]' as some sort of cope while ignoring the DTES and ridiculously high CoL.

 

[Unholy]

I still wouldn’t play Skinner

 

[Matty Sundin]

Been 13 years since the majority of Canada was behind the Canucks. What a weird feeling

lmfao hf forums does not represent the entire country

 

[ORRFForever]

The problem if you are an Oiler fan (like me)...

* No matter how big your lead is, it never feels like enough.

* If Vancouver is up by one, it feels insurmountable.

 

[RedRocking]

No pressure on the “Cup or Bust” guys being backstopped by Skinner. Nope, none at all.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Large contingency were behind Vancouver


That’s why I said a few

that's just straight up not true

TSN and CBC even did their best to not hide their hatred

 

[Clint Eastwood]

That's not the first time Silovs has just willingly engaged in a board battle behind his net and I can't tell if that's totally rockstar or really stupid.

 

[Three On Zero]

lmfao hf forums does not represent the entire country

You would be correct

 

[eviohh26]

Oh boy lol .

 

[StrangeVision]

Silovs with an interesting start.

Strong start for Edmonton
