-Buzzsaw- Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 (edited) 8 hours ago, Reznor said: - Hopefully EP40 gets his shit together and actually contributes on the scoresheet. Pettersson had 3 points in the series... and was one of the keys to the winning goal in game 7. But unless he gets someone on his line who can pass and playmake with him, it is unlikely Pettersson will put up a lot of points. Tocchet's linemate matchup for Pettersson hasn't worked for close to 40 games now, you'd think Coach Rick would figure it out. But no, he prefers to put a top sixer who supposedly was the target of a trade to find someone to play with Petey... on the third line.

Lemon Face Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 4 hours ago, LaBamba said: I’m just tired of people on here talking like they’re some kinda victim to the media when anyone with an IQ +60 can understand how the Oilers are heavy favorites. We have a guy starting who has, what? 12 NHL games under his belt? How can you not think the Oilers have the edge just on that alone. If we win, we are defying the odds. This just in, that’s ok. I will never understand why people in this fan base need validation from the media. I LOVE that nobody including myself thinks they can win. Just makes it that much more special if they do. How long we need to defy odds for you to be happy? That third stringer goalie is world cup MVP. Used space,what is next? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gizmo2337 Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Speaking of no respect.... They must have generated this based on our low scoring output in round 1. However, I expect that will change radically in the Edmonton series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However there is a bunch of bad apples that are a huge disgrace and that is why they love to see us suffer. Vancouver fans are no different than other teams fans. The majority of us are passionate about our team, but there are a few bad apples out there. No different that any other Canadian city. I don’t really care if someone predicts the Oilers to win. Opinions are like a-holes, everybody has one. What really matters is what happens on the ice. I’m really looking forward to the games, as I’m sure you are. We will not be defined by the words and actions of a few morans GCC!!! Edited May 7 by PistolPete13 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Buzzsaw- Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 I think this will be a very close series... I picked the Canucks to win in 7 games. I don't see a blowout of either team. Gonna take a lot of very tight, error free play to win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonna take a lot of very tight, error free play to win. Agree , completely. I do believe 5v5 is also in the nucks favour. We have a better bottom 6 and will run 4 lines. Heavy on the body.McCrybaby and dipsytal will be upset and frustrated by game 2. Hyman and Kane are the variables Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Mind Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 For what it's worth, Boston got similar results from the ESPN staff, with only 1 member picking them. Seems that they're comfortable with just picking the favourites, granted the favourites did all win round 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kilgore Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Basically its simple: Two teams play - one team comes out the winner. One team on paper, is the better team and should win. But they don't always win So why not cheer for your own team, even if technically they are underdogs? Also, the underdogs have a great record in the 2023 playoffs, and other years as well. https://www.pointspreads.com/news/nhl/the-2023-stanley-cup-favors-the-dog-an-nhl-playoffs-betting-analysis Underdogs in the 2023 Stanley Cup Playoffs Dogs Have Over 60 Percent Success Rate Straight-Up Since the start of the 2023 Stanley Cup Playoffs, underdogs have gone 46-29. This is only counting games where the underdog was lined at even NHL odds (+100) or longer. This 62.3 percent win rate would leave most dog bettors with heaps of winnings. It’s not just Florida either. Vegas, which is one win away from joining the Panthers in the Stanley Cup Finals, is 5-2 as an underdog this postseason. Still, Florida’s run has been lucrative for its bettors. Panthers’ backers would be up over 14.2 units had they bet one unit on them every game. But this is not the first time it’s happened....." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone I know is a super awesome, respectable fan. We can't celebrate wins? Every team's fans do...don't kid yourself. This is such trash...every fan base has good and bad. "Everyone".
