wai_lai416 Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 lol the 2nd worse goal against team that's in the playoff is the favorite?? them and LA goals against is not even close to any other team lol.. literally the worse defensive team and goaltending duo of any possible team in the playoff. i take my bet dallas and vegas to pound them to a pulp or colorado to skate circles around their defence.. the only reason they'll even get out of the first round is the current playoff format tbh is trash.. they get to play LA in first round.. i don't like the current playoff format where it benefits teams in weak division to have a easy path to the conference final.

The Lock Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 (edited) How about this? They will have a crack at things in the playoffs. (if I need to be any more captain obvious than the world's probably getting warped in ways unimaginable) Contender on the other hand... the only reason I could see this happening is because of a weakness of the west compared with the east. I'll be really surprised if a western team wins the stanley cup this year, period. Edited February 28, 2023 by The Lock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LA still has an actual NHL quality blueline and has veteran leadership. All they have to do is hit McDiver every chance they get so he gets intimidated and starts concentrating on flopping and throwing tantrums when the refs don't fall for it. If Edmonton is lucky enough to make the playoffs, their opponent will be happy to not have tgo play against a men's team until the second round. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanucksFan8353 Posted February 28, 2023 Author Share Posted February 28, 2023 (edited) I’m of two minds. Happy and relieved that the Bruins defeated the Oilers tonight but the fact that it was just a 1-goal nail biter solidifies my fear of how Boston would do against the Oilers in a best of seven. It was an Oilers home game though so the fact that they lost even that is pretty sweet! Edited February 28, 2023 by CanucksFan8353 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmonton would need to show intensity and momentum as well as not get injured for things to happen. If you think a regular season game's going to show this well then I have some marshland to sell you. I think either you're trolling people who hate Edmonton here or you are focused on the wrong things (or just trying to justify making thread in the 1st place). Only the playoffs will be able to tell whether you are right or wrong. Until then, I see no point in worrying about it. I say chill dude.

You can't succeed when your defencemen refuse to play defence and your captain is a locker room cancer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Drunken Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 (edited) I don't see how they can be a favorite with that goaltending situation. Ekholm doesn't instantaneously make their blueline good either. I would bet on the Jets, Avs, Kraken, Golden Knights before I bet on the Oilers.

Actually, tbh, my issue is that a huge Oilers fan literally tried to destroy my and my family’s life, and almost succeeded. Like the stress of what he did literally caused a disease in my family. So, any hint of them doing well triggers me. He also despised the Canucks and made that quite clear. Little did I know the only thing he hated more than the Canucks was me!

Provost Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 I don’t think Edmonton is winning the Cup. Need a lot of depth in the playoffs and teams can game plan around weakening and tiring out McDavid over a 7 game series. Literally every chance you get to cross check, slash, lean on, etc. He could be a wreck by the finals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Edmonton will win the cup either; however, the Draisatl line is going to be just as much of a threat and would also need to be taken care of. Whatever team's against Edmonton will need to have the depth to be able to handle both. That being said, there are teams out there that can do this, but I also think this mitigates some of that wear and tear that you are describing as it's not just the McDavid line to worry about. Also, Edmonton still sucks defensively, so that's probably the biggest concern anyway. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
