NDSF: (2) Edmonton Oilers vs. (3) Winnipeg Jets | Jets win series 4-0

[VegasCanuck]

You know, it's funny, in the last game Canucks played against Edmonton this season, I said, if I was Edmonton, I'd be worried facing Winnipeg, and that they can't seem to score unless McJesus is on the ice.

Seems fair.  If the media is going to keep lying and calling him the best player on the world, he should really play on an NHL team at some point.

Sure, they could call him the best player in the world, but what about the playoffs? If you do a mock draft and pick your playoff team, I'd probably start with Pastrnak and Bergeron. I'm not a Bruins fan, but it's hard to argue against results.For Coaches, I'd pick Joel Quennville, Ian Clark and Manny Maholtra.

Man even after our $&!#ty season, it could've been worse. It could've been an Edmonton or Calgary type of season. Yikes.

Nah, it’s clearly more important to run up the score against a team recovering from COVID just so McDavid can get to 100 points in a pointless game.

Knowing Mike Smith’s personality, watch him announce his retirement right after this series is over.

Wouldn't be surprised to see him retire mid-game  Picture Roy's last game in Montreal with a lot more of a tantrum.

If anyone needs entertainment the Oilers HF game thread is incredible.

 

Yeah, I'm being petty.

Oilers Reddit too. It’s already eerily similar to cdc lately, calling for Tippett’s head and questioning If Holland is up to the job. Being petty is one of the few things we have to enjoy here right now!

I figure every fanbase is more or less the same mix of people, if they're passionate about their teams at least.

Exactly.  Starts with their gutless captain and trickles down.  They have no character guys at all and can't handle any adversity.

I wouldn't say none at all but they do have very few. Big fan of Khaira and Archibald though Archibald’s penalty on Stanley tonight was incredibly dumb. 

[wallstreetamigo]

Overtime was pretty wild.

 

Watching the playoffs makes me hope for a style change with the Canucks.

[wallstreetamigo]

McDavid was so pissed off after the game.

 

Made me happy

Archibald also had a couple of dives tonight.  That's what happens when your team culture accepts disgracing the sport by flopping every time someone breathes on you.

Coilers on the verge of getting swept? I thought this would be a tight series. Jets have been all over them so far. What a comeback

Sure nice not seeing the Canucks in that middle column.  Very surprised to see the Leafs on the winning side of those more often than losing.

Can't wait for the sweep tomorrow. 

I for one am cheering for Winnipeg to make it out of the north. They're my only team in Canada outside the Canucks that I won't mind winning the cup.

I’d like to see Winnipeg and the Lightning play in the final. They’re both big and skilled teams that would be entertaining to watch. And like you I hate the Canucks losing to the other Canadian teams but I don’t mind the Jets or their fans.
