HKSR Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Personally I think the media and Oilers fans are the ones that are confident. The Oilers themselves? Not so much. Kinda wish they were though. Overconfidence is never a good thing in the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s just butthurt and wrong this time is all. I find it funny as well and kinda get its part of the whole S.C shtick to get fan bases riled up and come at them. Whitney being ex Oil is obviously gonna root hard for the EDM community. They all love the game so if VAN can beat EDM or make a competitive series of it they will all gladly acknowledge it on the podcast. Only RA will get to take the victory laps tho. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda wish they were though. Overconfidence is never a good thing in the playoffs. I get why media would be more confident about EDM winning. There weren't many issues that came up during the series. Even concerns about depth scoring, defence and goaltending didn't become a problem against LA. On the other hand, we have a problem with our powerplay, Pettersson, and of course using a third-string goalie. Somehow Silovs has turned into Latvia mode, but using a backup-backup is obviously a less than ideal situation. Vancouver beat NSH despite some apparent issues. Edmonton just beat LAK without any apparent issues. That's what the media sees. But who cares about media? They're not there to truly break anything down - they're just there to entertain. 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have watched their playoffs, the first couple seasons you could see he and the team were arrogant and convinced they would win... but that has changed over the last few seasons as they realized what it takes to win... last two seasons McDavid has upped his play... much harder and more determined. Canucks cannot depend on the Oilers to choke... we will need to beat them fair and square.

BC_Hawk Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 30 minutes ago, HKSR said: Is this guy even relevant anymore? He's trying hard to hold onto his past. Couldn’t care less about what he says…he’s a moron. He never once talked about hockey, just how much he hated the Canucks. To be honest it has all the markings of talking to most Oilers fans. Same ramblings; top 4 below: 1) “Vancouver has never one anything”: Edm hasn’t won since 1990…34 years ago! Most of the fans weren’t alive 2)”We are the SC favourite…we have the best two players in the world”: That’s left to debate; I take MacKinnon over McD as overall good and Mathew’s over Drai as a goal scorer easy. McD is definitely top 5…Drai not even in top 10. 3)”Vancouver is so cocky”: You are the fans base running your mouth about how great you are; entitlement comes to mind. We are just excited to be relevant again. 4) After every intellectual hockey conversation breaks down OR they lose the conversation….they just keep repeating “ 5 cups…how many you won“ Honestly, they are the 49er fans of the NHL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick_theRyper Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 42 minutes ago, madrigal77 said: Oilers and Canucks last 30 games of the season. "Heavy favourites due to how good they were at the end of the year". Yeah everyone blanking out the 20 shit games the Oil played, and then in turn not subtracting our worst 20 games is just insane bias stat glancing. Gonna be a good battle, even teams. we get edge in Defense and toughness. They get the edge in offense. If we're rolling on all cylinders I think we win.

Gawdzukes Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 43 minutes ago, HKSR said: I get what youre trying to say. I'm just saying the Canucks simply can't afford to walk into a game with the mindset of being overly cautious physically. Everything happens way too fast. It also shouldn't be on the Canucks to worry about embellishments, but that's a whole other conversation... I agree completely. Be physical, hit hard and often, but play clean or their PP could bury us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostsof1915 Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Is it me? I'm probably biased. But Quinn looks sharp in a beard. Makes him look more mature. Certainly looks better than any Leaf players. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And be aware to the trends as they happen. If refs are calling retaliations, be aware of that and be disciplined........if they're calling stick infractions, keep your stick off a players stick or mid-section. If certain players on the opposition is struggling with a specific scenario (like a dman struggling on his inside turn etc) and exploit that problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
