Moneypuck must be ran by Vancouver fans.

50/50 odds

Edmonton has two or three “viewing areas” around Rogers Place itself complete with beer stands, big TVs, and port-a-potty’s

hockey town vs non-hockey town

 

[Fishy McScales]

Yes.
You’re welcome.

Thanks, this is extremely confusing, you're being very helpful.

If I could be a bother, though, what about it made it witty? Just so I can keep growing as a poster of course.

Vancouver are the favourites no matter what other say. They ran their division from start to end and ran the year series.

Vancouver in 6 and IT WONT be an upset

 

[GreeningOil]

He gets mentioned in the same sentence because he was the best D in the league this year.
Maybe West coast games are past your bedtime or you had homework to do?
Now get back under your bridge.

Hughes was amazing this year. People who watch 2 bad plays and judge a player based off of it are so common on here.

Another relevant example is Bouchard.

 

[Aqualung]

Haven't seen any evidence you'll get any of that from that particular source; that's why I was a bit confused.

Everyone has their good and bad days

 

[Avsfan1921]

Again, whining about refs before the series has started is absolutely pathetic. Whether you’re a coach, fan or player.

I agree. Let’s see if this statement hold true as it should, if the oil and refalanche meet next round.

 

[UrbanImpact]

I absolutely love the spot the Canucks are in. They have nothing to lose and are playing with house money.

Win or lose this series, the season will be looked at by the fan base as a huge success. They went from pre-season bubble team expectations to :

-winning the division
-producing a probable Jack Adams winner
-producing a probable Norris Winner
-3rd best regular season in franchise history
-Winning a playoff round

On the flip side, what happens if Oilers lose to a 3rd string backup Goalie?

You gotta think people will be losing their jobs(Holland etc..), they already fired their coach this season, The fanbase will come down hard on the likes of the supporting cast with RNH, Nurse Kane etc..... Another lost season in a cup window with Mcdavid and Drai becoming free agents in 1-2 years. They have alot on the line.
There's a big chance that this team's roster gets blown up if they lose this series.

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Deeper middle six?

Seems more like Edmonton have substantially better top two lines, and Canucks have the edge on the third line.

Better blueline is pretty debatable. Hughes is in a class of his own, but Nurse, Ekholm, and Bouchard are far better than Vancouver's next best guy.

Better goaltending when healthy for sure.

Edmonton outscored Van in both the regular season and the playoffs so far at 5v5.


Oilers outscored Canucks by around 30 goals 5v5 in the back half of the season once Vancouver's shooting percentage normalized.

And the Oilers still ended up in 9th place.
A good lesson for the Oiler players and a few fans that the season is 82 games. Not half a season.
I thought the rest of your post was pretty balanced and fair.

Note to Oilers' fans. This episode is sponsored by the Bayside Oceanfront Resort. The ocean is a very large body of water.

A good lesson for the Oiler players and a few fans that the season is 82 games. Not half a season. No need to cherry pick stars to try to pump up your team.

69 games out of 82 is cherry picking?

So by that logic of and when edmonton wins it becomes an upset???

I already see the excuses starting with demko most likely out the entire series....

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Mods doing a good job keeping the discussion somewhat civil, a few posters have also gone M.I.A which has helped.

It’s a free platform for racism on hockey twitter these days

yeah but oilers fans arent prone to tipping port-a-pottys and burning cop cars and smashing everything in sight so clearly you must see their hesitation

i wish the odds makers agreed with you cause id be taking the oilers on the + odds all day

I mean, they did though. 2006 there were riots on Whyte street and things were literally set on fire: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmo...onton-rogers-riot-playoffs-business-1.4046048

Boy! I bet they never even thought of that. Hopefully Ian Clark reads this thread.

 

[Seachd]

Holy jees...go take a walk, hug someone, say Hi to a stranger or something. It's just a game...

Did you think you weren’t on HF?

 

[Fishy McScales]

Hope the Oilers D have been working on skating backwards.

Elaborate?

 

[Seachd]

Elaborate?

I guess he thinks the Canucks’ average of 0.17 goals against per game better than the Oilers, including the sweep, means the Oilers’ defensemen can’t skate backwards.

4th line wit, you could say.

I guess he thinks that a professional goalie wouldn’t know how to go post to post.
Amazing insight there.
