Popular Post CanucksFan8353 Posted February 27, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 27, 2023 (edited) The Colorado of 2023 is not even close to the Colorado of 2022. The Oilers outplay the AVs, Kings, Stars and Knights most nights in head-to-head match-ups. They are near the top, as is, in the West. There is not a team, this year, that can stand toe-to-toe in the west in a best-of-7 with the Oilers. Sadly, also the East is going to be such a meat-grinder this year that any team that emerges from the East will be so ground up that they will be annihilated by any team that comes out of the west. Think of how we were against the Bruins after our brutal western journey in 2011. Just decimated. Also, historically, the Bruins have a tough time against the Oilers whereas we struggle mightily. 2023 seems like 2011 in reverse. The President Trophy winning Bruins will come into the final injured as heck and the Oilers, heavy underdogs, will grind out a 7-game Stanley Cup victory against them. For those of us rooting against the Oilers, we want to see a team come out of the east that has a winning record, not just this season but historically, against the Oilers and that sure ain't the Bruins. Kind of fearful of a NYI-Edm SCF, Bo would fight like heck to overcome McDavid and Draisatl, but the Isles would probably fall just short in the end. The Oilers seeming to have a clear path to the SCF is bad enough but likely facing a team they historically do well against, the Bruins, is even more of a nightmare. P.S.: Forgot to add that the Oilers might pull off a blockbuster TDL deal that will make them even scarier and our lives even more miserable. I will also discount any posts that try to argue how much of a behemoth the Bruins are. Show me your playoff chops first, bears!!

CanucksFan8353 Posted February 27, 2023 Author Share Posted February 27, 2023 (edited) I want them out in 4 in round 1 but with 3 seasons of playoff experience and a weak west this year, I’m not hopeful. Plus how they were in the WCF last year. Edited February 27, 2023 by CanucksFan8353 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Heffy Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 The only NHLer they have on their blueline is Nurse. You can't succeed when your defencemen refuse to play defence and your captain is a locker room cancer. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kragar Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 @CanucksFan8353 Are you aware they have yet to beat LA or Col this season? This fact goes against your OP a bit. And, don't forget they are a team that depends on the power play, which are typically rarer in the playoffs. I'm glad you share the goal of the Oilers busting in 4 games. That seems more likely than them winning a Cup any time soon, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 I would put Edmonton as the second favourite team to come out of the West. I'd still put money on Colorado over Edmonton, especially now that they're getting healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goog16 Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 (edited) I like the Bruins,Devils,Lightning,Rangers and hell...even the Leafs over the Coilers!!! Coilers downfall will be their weak defence and goaltending... Edited February 27, 2023 by goog16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
