Popular Post NucksNation Posted May 4 Popular Post Share Posted May 4 Oilers struggle against a heavy forecheck, that’s why we match up so well against them. I can’t wait to see Zadorov taking runs at McDavid entering the zone. 3 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I go one step further... I listen to youtube music videos while watching the game. I only pause the music when I see something important. I don't need to listen to them telling me what I already know is happening. Plus that ************* commentator is more biased than what's her name for the Flames. I've even seen him on air wearing an orange turban and tie with a blue sport coat.... I mean does no one else see this?

What I'd really like is if they mic'd up ice level and gave a feed without commentary. Put a parental control on it for language and I'd even be willing to pay extra for that channel. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet majority of people would pay extra for that. They’d never do it tho, especially in today’s soft world. There’d be outrage after every game for some of the things said by the crybaby cancel crowd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post -dlc- Posted May 4 Popular Post Share Posted May 4 1 hour ago, Miss Korea said: It seems like you don't get it. It's still bloody toxic. You don't think things get toxic between Bruins and Habs fans during a playoff series? I watch a lot of soccer. Nobody in that sport is going to deny how fucking crazy things get during a derby match. It's part of the sport AND it's toxic as fuck. Don't try to gatekeep that kind of behaviour behind the guise of "only real fans would understand". I do get it. And the ones who ruin it are bad apples, not the norm. You were referring to Canucks/Oilers fans and that's what I responded to. Seems now you're moving the goalposts to fit a narrative. I don't give a damn about soccer, the Bruins or Habs. Don't try to stereotype an entire fanbase on your soccer experiences. And how is it ok for you to gatekeep how fans react and label them toxic but you don't accept it in turn? That's called a double standard. Anyhow, back on topic which is WOOOOOOO SECOND ROUND. 1 1 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Slegr Posted May 4 Popular Post Share Posted May 4 I’m so pumped - I bought a ticket for game 1, my first playoff game in person after 33 years of watching. I’m from Van Island, but over in Van on business Tuesday / Wednesday so it works perfect, unless they move it to a night other than Tuesday. 3 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hammertime Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 I think we match up really well against EDM. Their a 1 trick pony. This is where the Lindholm trade pays dividends. I think it will be a tough series that goes to 6 or 7. We have the horses to neuter McDavid with Josuua and Miller roughing him up every time he touches the puck like Nash handled Pete. We have the better depth I can see Pete being a real factor in this series. Hoping to see Podkolzin too he's got fresh legs and is just made for a series like this. Calling it now Podkolzin GWG in game 5 or 6 that swings momentum in our favor. Mikheyev can ride pine I know he's supposed to be a Mcdavid killer because he beat mcdavid in a foot race once on the leafs and thats why we got him but seriously he's where Pete's offence goes to die. PDG has been so valuable to the PK I can't see him coming out. We may drop a game or 2 but I think we should be hitting early and often Juulson and Pod should draw in and just bang for the first 2 games. We win this series on the playground. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Rekker Posted May 4 Popular Post Share Posted May 4 What a bounce in my step today.

MattJVD Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 1 hour ago, tas said: singh is the number 2 national broadcast guy, whereas shorty is merely a regional guy who gets pulled into national when required. unfortunately, this result was never really in question. Should be the other way around. Singh is fine as an Oilers' regional guy, but I can't stand listening to him do our broadcasts. Shorthouse is a Canucks homer to be sure, but he balances himself well on the broadcast and leaves the homer takes to the colour guy (like Garret in the past). 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EP is slumping and ultimately its on him to carry that line, but frig. New series, new hope for these two, and Hogs to step up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All these sound bites recently with Bob Cole and it only drives home how bad Singh is. Bob was the best at building to a crescendo and saving the big call for the big play. Singh just doesn't have any of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's shown that he's capable of calling the game reasonably neutrally when it's a national broadcast. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elvis15 Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 Demko would help even with how Silovs and DeSmith have played, but we'll have to find an extra gear offensively to win. Back to our midseason form where we rolled the Oil would be just fine. Of course, we won't have quite the shot blocking menace to contend with like with the Preds, but if we can't convert on more chances the Oil will find a way to convert on some of theirs. I still say we win in 6. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whcanuck Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 You have to get licks on McDavid and RNH whenever possible. You need to hit them and hit to hurt, like another poster said, the same thing Nashville did against Hughes. Draisaitl is a bit tougher because of his size and strength, but if you slow down McDavid just enough the door cracks open for us to beat them. I think one thing Vancouver really has going for them is the fact that they’re underdogs. Going 4-0 against them, winning the division and we’re just supposed to be a speed bump for them to run over? Talk about disrespect, Canucks players and coaches really need to lean into that. This series is winnable 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
