The Nashville Predators play a suffocating style of hockey, it was raised another level these playoffs. I don't think the Canucks get enough credit for grinding that series out. Oilers and Canucks should be a closer series than most people think
I'm an oilers fan and I'd give the edge to the Canucks going into the series given what happened during the regular season. Prove me wrong oilers prove me wrong.
Remember when the Oilers won every game against the jets a couple years ago and then the jets swept the oilers in the playoffs... Playoff hockey is unpredictable. @@dnice4145
Here is the thing about this series: The Oilers are going to be pissed off and out for blood. Does that make a difference in the end? I think it will. Edmonton basically toyed with LA. They want revenge from Vancouver. All the best, Trev. Keep up the grind.
You wait and see the Canucks players will be just as fired up and hungry are not worried about how angry the Oil are about getting swept during the regular season. No one legitimately thinks that matters.
@@ryanhamar5148 I don't think there are any favorites. You have goaltending issues on both teams. Special teams will be a huge factor. Vancouver has more depth scoring, so it's anyone's game imo
Well i been a Oilers fan from the beginning. They've given me and all of Edmonton many great memories. I do believe that the Oilers will take the Canucks out. Mostly because we have a healthy solid team. We have so many quality players that can score. And our goalies are playing very well.
Something few mention is how much more balanced the Canuck lines are. If McLeod, Foegele, and Perry don’t start getting to the sweet centre and producing then that could be very bad for Edmonton. On the other hand Dakota Joshua, Conor Garland, are third line players for Vancouver!
I am not the GM so I cheer 100 % for anyone the GM puts our Jersey on and I never stop pulling for them, ever, while they wear it. I have been a passionate fan since our first cup run in 1982 and have never missed even 1 second of any Canuck playoff run since 1982. If you believe Pettersson has dominated and imposed his will on even 5 games since the all-star weekend then I have been watching different games than you. I have watched Pavel, Markus, and Daniel go on long dry spells where they were completely snake-bit but never stopped being their biggest fan. If Pettersson doesn't find his mojo the Oilers, with McDavid, have an opportunity to take it. I am not saying they will but was agreeing with the host in his assessment. The years lost because the Canucks always had # 99 stopping them every year were long and dark and I have no desire for that again. Not this year anyway. Go Canucks Go. Sorry if you think observing things that happen makes you less of a fan. I prefer being a knowledgeable fan. I have news for the Oilers fans, Tochett has done what no other coach has been able to do, he got the Canucks to buy into his system and that is something that makes this Canucks team better than any of the Canucks teams before. Pettersson doesn't need to score for us to win, but like he said himself, he has to move his feet.
@@AnSturbin Nashville team defense is light years ahead of Edmonton. I doubt they will be able to get in lanes and block shots like them either. Gonna be a much different series.
They sucked because the canucks made them suck. In the last 30 games of the season the canucks and oilers have basically the same amount of points. The canucks would have had even more if they played the oilers again.

Just watch and enjoy the series. I know I will
It will be a good series. Remember prior to the oiler coaching the Canucks were about 20 points ahead of the oil. If the season had another two weeks the oil would have overtaken the Canucks. Yes the Canucks owned the oil during the regular season. It looks like the Oil found a new level in the playoffs. They toyed with the kings while the Canucks had their hands full with to the Preds. It will be a fun series. The Canucks would be well not to think its a four game series.
Pettersson is probably injured... We seen him play before like this and that time he had a wrist injury wouldn't be surprised if he is playing through it again
pretty sure petey is going through a wrist injury and its evident the way hes playing passing up so many shooting opportunities. Also ust watching his shots hes not putting too much downwards pressure into the stick and creating the torque required to fire a strong shot off. Hes had a long history of wrist injuries FYI.
Nice Vid man. Huge Van fan here and I think it's going to be a tough series for the nux but I feel Oil Nation are underestimating the Canucks as a whole and if Petey plays at even close to 75%, that could be an x-factor. That is a huge IF as he's playing like a shell of himself and so reluctant to shoot the puck. However, I believe the Nurse Ceci pairing will get exposed and if the nux forecheck can get in and hit Bouchard, he's on the soft side imo. Again, the scale is leaning towards the Oil for sure but if Petey starts playing and we get Demko back for say Game 5 or 6, it could be Canucks in 7 with the home ice advantage. Lastly, your comment that the Nux Preds series really should have been a sweep is a bit of a stretch. Give the Preds credit, they played damn hard and Saros was solid with the limited high danger opportunities. Enjoy the series! Peace
Its a new season forget about anyone being scared of anyone. Its going to be a good series. Nobody knows anything. Forget the first round it means nothing.
I think it's going to be interesting but then again the Oilers are pretty dominating in a lot of aspects in the game I think they have the upper hand in this series
The regular season and the postseason are a different animal,that’s why experience is invaluable to a team.. That is something the Cucks will learn in this series.The Oilers will win it in 5 🫡
It's very simple. Every round all stats go to zero. What teams do to each other the round before has zero impact on what happens to the new opponent in the next round. Just like your whole point of the regular season and the post season are different beasts. Each round is a different beast. Good luck to your oils.
Edmonton just looks so good right now. Couple that with the fact Canucks have a third string goalie and Hughes being banged up I feel pretty confident about our chances
All three of the goalies that vancouver played have better stats than the oilers starter... and the Preds are a way better team than the kings. In fact the Preds have been arguably better than the Oilers during the second half of the season. Hughes looked fine game 6.

@@felipepineda1585lmao, oilers still scored as many 5v5 goals in 5 games as the sucks scored in total over 6 games. No idea why you guys have to try so hard to convince others. Just lie to yourself.
Alright maybe a hot take but I think Oilers will win this one pretty easily going 5 maybe 6 games. Reason being: the fact that if you look at the playoff stats for oilers we’re 100 % on the PK and 45 % on PP therefore our special teams (barring they slow down a ton) will lead us. Not to mention the canucks stars are really not showing up and the oilers are with McDavid at 11 assists 12 points. Therefore I believe that the oilers are going to be able to win this one decently decisively because of the fact that the canucks won’t get many goals, and the oilers will. I rest my case. LETS GO OILERS!!!
It'll be about who can maintain composure and will their game onto the other guys. There will be serious blows going back and forth, I imagine. Staying out of the box and scoring 5v5 will be important for the Oilers.
Canucks game vs pred 82 shots on goal 15 high dangerous shot, game 2 12 high dangerous, game 5 17 high dangerous shots. You will understand just how good Nashville and the Canucks really were. Pettersson had atleast 10 grade a chances. He’s quietly good and operates in the neutral zone where he uses a long stick to pick off passes for odd man rushes
I think there’s a intangible factor significantly in the Oil’s favour. I know the nucks coach n’ players have been talking about relishing the underdog role. House money bla bla. Sure & they should. That is a good team on the rise. This is not going to be easy. There will be ups n downs. But the Oil have experienced failure. That counts for a lot! The drive & relishing the pressure to finally win it all, not just win a few series here n there has never been stronger. With generational talent comes generational drive. He has the support now. I may be wrong, but I think not. Won’t even predict how many games. Just f£&king win!
This 🤡 has been wrong about the Nucks for 3 straight years and thinks this makes his opinion this year somehow credible? lol The oilers have a couple/few elite players, a very average at best defence and in goal…? The Nucks have several top tier players, no filler, a big and mobile defence and 3 goalies better than anyone in the Oilers system… It should be an interesting series.
In goal? Who the hell are you to question the oilers goaltending? Skinner is in net. He's sick bro. You got a third stringer in net and I can't spell his name. So please remind me... who the fuck is your goalie? And your comment is whacko
@@aboveaverage5979 No need to be salty, as a canucks fan I look foward for this, this will be fun if we win then great if not I am proud that they even made the playoffs in the first place, let alone to the second round. I hope we win of course, but at least a Canadian team will have a chance at the cup, I just wish it didn't have to be two Canadian teams, I want one of us to bring the cup home!
Hey Trevor. It should not have been a sweep by Nashville. The Preds were one of the hottest teams going into the playoffs, and had an 18 game points streak near the end. I think and am hoping that the Oilers win, but this league has a lot of parity due to the Cap.
Bro what are you even talking about, The Nucks played prob one of or if not the best checking teams and beat them at their own game! Oilers gonna learn this series my son.
Not hard to defend against the Preds they're a mid rebuild team that's been trading away players the last few years. Kings are the better defensive and offensive team. Preds have the better goalie for sure but as an Oilers fan if I could pick one playoff team for the Oilers to play against it would be the Preds. Oilers have absolutely killed them for the past few years.
@@CC-of5xl The preds were literally better then edmonton the second half of the year. And they are way better than the kings. Like way better.. like norris nominee better.. like 48 goal scorer better.
@@prana16 yeah the Kings were a deeper team(8 40+ point players vs Preds 5 guys) and built for playoff hockey. The Preds went on a similar run the Sens did that one year to make the playoffs. They overachieved hard and got lucky that Van's stars were no shows in the 1st round. They'll need to step it up big time as they're playing 2 of the greatest individual playoff performers of all time this round and a much better team than the Preds
Skinner is the weak link. If the Oilers don’t play that defensive game and limit good chances from Canucks then it could cost the Oilers. If you watch the shutout that Skinner had vs LA, you will see what I’m talking about.
I think some people need to get a grip here ( Vancouver crushed the oilers all season long even without demko twice) van is the top team for a reason in are division and not Edmonton remember that guys. It's more then stupid to think you guys will win this one easily. If you guys win it will be in 7, ya your stars are brining it sure but miller is going to shut them down and the oilers can't handle the big d of Vancouver.
RNH has 6points.. but is +0.... Mcd 12 points yet only +3, Draisaitl 10 points only +2...whats going on there? Hmmm?? Edmonton looks like a team living entirely on their PP against a bad team that was playing badly.. and still getting caved in 5 on 5. So they better hope the refs keep gifting them.
@@prana16 show me the stats that show they got caved. Every advanced stat I've seen shows either advantage Oilers or a saw off. Especially when it comes to high danger scoring chances
I think if both teams play their A game the Oilers win easily. The issue is the Oilers have all the pressure and even showed signs of worry against LA because of it. They need to be confident and not turtle.
Nashville was the hottest team in the league the last half of the season, and you think Canucks disappointed in not sweeping them? Now we gotta go and sweep the second hottest team in the second half of the season. We'll take that hardest path to the cup.
Edmonton is nowhere near as defensive minded as Nashville was in round 1, I'm not ruling Edmonton out just because I'm a Canucks fan but for anyone who thinks it's within your favor to compare Canucks round 1 to this series coming up, Nashville has always played a very defensive minded game in the playoffs and as we have all seen with Edmonton in the playoffs they are nowhere near as defensive as them so can't compare each series to the next
Nope I'm sorry Nashville isn't that good defensively. I think the Canucks have the edge given the season series. But edmonton isn't the same team the Canucks beat early on. The last game they played was close.
@@prana16 don't decieve yourself I say this as an oilers fan who has watched them team lose when I least expected them to and vice versa. Winning in the regular season doesn't garunteed the Canucks anything. I give the Canucks the edge because they proved it on the ice but I wouldn't be surprised to see the oilers win a closely fought series, we'll see.
@@jamesgangmember head to head edmonton usually handles the preds easily, match ups don't translate automatically. I was actually surprised how closely the preds played the Canucks I saw van winning easily going into the series. We'll see but I don't get how fans on here are so confident either way.
Edmonton got two best players in a world. Yes Vancouver got Quinn Hughes who is second best Dman in s world. But they don't have Demko. Edmonton takes this 4-1.
Why Oilers should Be Scared of the Canucks Zedorov gonna pound and ground 6ft6 240lbs of mobile Defense MAN one hit to any of the brittle Oilers its series over Canucks in Seven Even if the Oilers make it past Vancouver They are gonna be hurting = JT and the boys will make sure of it Happy Stanley Cup = best time of the year to be alive - except if your a Leaf/Canuck fan
Vancouver gets win,because Canucks has better goalkeeper team work defense,physical moving. coach play harder advance sweep experience in regular season,never excuse for oilers fans refuting etc. Vancouver in 5
1- Rookie Goalie vs Skinner 2- Not much playoff experience 3- The record- the first 2 game Oilers were on the down turn.. then a 8 game streak..17 Game Streak and 9 game streak in one season.. then they played Oilers Last game of the season .. Without McDavid Draisaitl Hyman and Ekholm .. and it was tied 1-1 most of the game.. then a Canuck goal.. then an empty net goal.. with half a lineup
Umm draisaital played was a minus 1 hyman played 3 shots goal zero points ekholm played and was a minus 1. Maybe u didnt notice cuz we made them look invisible so i dont know wat ur talking about go look it up genius
The Canucks beat the hottest team in the league in 6 games without Demko and with Pettersson being invisible. All you overconfident Oilers fans are about to be made look silly.

Canucks game vs pred 82 shots on goal 15 high dangerous shot, game 2 12 high dangerous, game 5 17 high dangerous shots. You will understand just how good Nashville and the Canucks really were. Pettersson had atleast 10 grade a chances. He’s quietly good and operates in the neutral zone where he uses a long stick to pick off passes for odd man rushes
I think Hugh’s is in for a very hard series.
I agree.
I think there’s a intangible factor significantly in the Oil’s favour. I know the nucks coach n’ players have been talking about relishing the underdog role. House money bla bla. Sure & they should. That is a good team on the rise. This is not going to be easy. There will be ups n downs. But the Oil have experienced failure. That counts for a lot! The drive & relishing the pressure to finally win it all, not just win a few series here n there has never been stronger. With generational talent comes generational drive. He has the support now. I may be wrong, but I think not. Won’t even predict how many games. Just f£&king win!
Oilers are due to GIVE a sweep... Hopefully it's this series
LOL. You know that Arrowsmith song..... Drea.. .. 🙄
@@ryanhamar5148 Arrowsmith is a mountain
Maybe next round...
This 🤡 has been wrong about the Nucks for 3 straight years and thinks this makes his opinion this year somehow credible? lol
The oilers have a couple/few elite players, a very average at best defence and in goal…?
The Nucks have several top tier players, no filler, a big and mobile defence and 3 goalies better than anyone in the Oilers system…
It should be an interesting series.
Lol no need to be salty bro 🤣. Thanks for the support.
In goal? Who the hell are you to question the oilers goaltending? Skinner is in net. He's sick bro. You got a third stringer in net and I can't spell his name. So please remind me... who the fuck is your goalie? And your comment is whacko
@@aboveaverage5979 No need to be salty, as a canucks fan I look foward for this, this will be fun if we win then great if not I am proud that they even made the playoffs in the first place, let alone to the second round. I hope we win of course, but at least a Canadian team will have a chance at the cup, I just wish it didn't have to be two Canadian teams, I want one of us to bring the cup home!
You are right@@trukbones1672 , Skinner is a superstar! lol
SILOVS (too many vowels?) learn it, know it, live it! lol
Hey Trevor. It should not have been a sweep by Nashville. The Preds were one of the hottest teams going into the playoffs, and had an 18 game points streak near the end. I think and am hoping that the Oilers win, but this league has a lot of parity due to the Cap.
Yeah you're probably right. Thanks for the comment!
Oilers in 6 because we are better defensively and all around
Time will tell!
Oops
@@BrendaLi-hs9zg what does that mean
Bro what are you even talking about, The Nucks played prob one of or if not the best checking teams and beat them at their own game! Oilers gonna learn this series my son.
Not hard to defend against the Preds they're a mid rebuild team that's been trading away players the last few years. Kings are the better defensive and offensive team. Preds have the better goalie for sure but as an Oilers fan if I could pick one playoff team for the Oilers to play against it would be the Preds. Oilers have absolutely killed them for the past few years.
@@CC-of5xl The preds were literally better then edmonton the second half of the year. And they are way better than the kings. Like way better.. like norris nominee better.. like 48 goal scorer better.
@@prana16 yeah the Kings were a deeper team(8 40+ point players vs Preds 5 guys) and built for playoff hockey. The Preds went on a similar run the Sens did that one year to make the playoffs. They overachieved hard and got lucky that Van's stars were no shows in the 1st round. They'll need to step it up big time as they're playing 2 of the greatest individual playoff performers of all time this round and a much better team than the Preds
They are not the best checking team lol.
they burned themselves out finishing 1st in pacific
Potentially...
Skinner is the weak link. If the Oilers don’t play that defensive game and limit good chances from Canucks then it could cost the Oilers. If you watch the shutout that Skinner had vs LA, you will see what I’m talking about.
Don't disagree with this at all. Skinner success really all boils down to how well the team is in front of him.
Hey buddy appreciate you very much I come from Pinch Creek area myself to and a Die Hard Oilers fan go Oilers all the way to the Cup
Ehhhhh lets go man, how cool is this. Pincher Creek represent.
Great vid
Appreciate the support man!
I think some people need to get a grip here ( Vancouver crushed the oilers all season long even without demko twice) van is the top team for a reason in are division and not Edmonton remember that guys. It's more then stupid to think you guys will win this one easily. If you guys win it will be in 7, ya your stars are brining it sure but miller is going to shut them down and the oilers can't handle the big d of Vancouver.
Plus are 3rd string goalie is as good as your starter if not better. Van depth
@@kingtim420Depth,eh? How many top ten scorers do you have?
Only Miller will shut them down eh? Time will tell man, it's going to be a great series!
Just comes down to 5v5 play. Look at those numbers. That's the reason Canucks swept them in the regular season.
@schrempskynate8944 lol who cares. 5 to 4 win lol down 4 to 1 lol Edmonton sucks
RNH has 6points.. but is +0.... Mcd 12 points yet only +3, Draisaitl 10 points only +2...whats going on there? Hmmm?? Edmonton looks like a team living entirely on their PP against a bad team that was playing badly.. and still getting caved in 5 on 5. So they better hope the refs keep gifting them.
They did not get caved 5on5 at all and the Kings played great and are a good team(better than Preds) the Oilers just outclassed them
@@CC-of5xl Everything you wrote is just wrong.
@@prana16 lol keep thinking that
@@CC-of5xl Don't need to think anything.. the numbers speak for themselves.
@@prana16 show me the stats that show they got caved. Every advanced stat I've seen shows either advantage Oilers or a saw off. Especially when it comes to high danger scoring chances
It is unpredictable and a total tossup.
Either team could take it.
Likely will come down to luck and which team has more heart
Thats it.
It’s all a tossup. There’s no skill or strategy in this game, and so there is no reason to watch the games. #sarcasm
I like this comment. e
It'll come down to 5v5 play.
Is it just me or does he look kinda like Stuar Skinner only without Skinner massive mustache? No offense
I watched the Canucks vs predators. Kinda boring. Slow pace. They better get the lead out of their butts if they have any hope of beating the Oilers
This is aging horribly
I think if both teams play their A game the Oilers win easily. The issue is the Oilers have all the pressure and even showed signs of worry against LA because of it. They need to be confident and not turtle.
LMAO.. didn't even mention Vancouver's secret weapon. But.. you will find out soon enough.
You think Edmontons' seventh man is weaker than Hongcouvers'?
If it's a secret it's probably a non-factor lol
Nashville was the hottest team in the league the last half of the season, and you think Canucks disappointed in not sweeping them? Now we gotta go and sweep the second hottest team in the second half of the season. We'll take that hardest path to the cup.
We? Do you play for the team?
Edmonton is nowhere near as defensive minded as Nashville was in round 1, I'm not ruling Edmonton out just because I'm a Canucks fan but for anyone who thinks it's within your favor to compare Canucks round 1 to this series coming up, Nashville has always played a very defensive minded game in the playoffs and as we have all seen with Edmonton in the playoffs they are nowhere near as defensive as them so can't compare each series to the next
Nope I'm sorry Nashville isn't that good defensively. I think the Canucks have the edge given the season series. But edmonton isn't the same team the Canucks beat early on. The last game they played was close.
@@dnice4145 The Canucks beat edmonton like two weeks ago LOL.. and the preds were also better than edmonton down the stretch.
@dnice4145 defensively? Nashville is way better then Edmonton 🤣 why you think Edmonton has poor playoff performances over the years? no D or G lmao 🤣
@@prana16 don't decieve yourself I say this as an oilers fan who has watched them team lose when I least expected them to and vice versa. Winning in the regular season doesn't garunteed the Canucks anything. I give the Canucks the edge because they proved it on the ice but I wouldn't be surprised to see the oilers win a closely fought series, we'll see.
@@jamesgangmember head to head edmonton usually handles the preds easily, match ups don't translate automatically. I was actually surprised how closely the preds played the Canucks I saw van winning easily going into the series. We'll see but I don't get how fans on here are so confident either way.
I have a feeling it's going to be a firefight so GAA and SV% stats for each goalie about to take a hit.
Btw, your camera was out of focus
Edmonton got two best players in a world. Yes Vancouver got Quinn Hughes who is second best Dman in s world. But they don't have Demko. Edmonton takes this 4-1.
Gotta go 4 straight now then
Why Oilers should Be Scared of the Canucks
Zedorov gonna pound and ground
6ft6 240lbs of mobile Defense MAN
one hit to any of the brittle Oilers its series over
Canucks in Seven
Even if the Oilers make it past Vancouver
They are gonna be hurting = JT and the boys will make sure of it
Happy Stanley Cup = best time of the year to be alive - except if your a Leaf/Canuck fan
Nikita Zadorov was invisible in the battle of Alberta series 2 years ago. I wouldn't put much stock in him lol.
Stats doesn't mean anything Canucks in 6
Oilers in 6. 😊
This isn't true lol.
Vancouver gets win,because Canucks has better
goalkeeper
team work
defense,physical moving.
coach
play harder
advance sweep experience in regular season,never excuse for oilers fans refuting
etc.
Vancouver in 5
I mean your just saying this and not really showing your work.
Who said we were scared?
You don't think out of the hundreds and thousands of Oilers fans, not one is scared lol? I have definitely had several fans tell me they were scared!
1- Rookie Goalie vs Skinner
2- Not much playoff experience
3- The record- the first 2 game Oilers were on the down turn.. then a 8 game streak..17 Game Streak and 9 game streak in one season.. then they played Oilers Last game of the season .. Without McDavid Draisaitl Hyman and Ekholm .. and it was tied 1-1 most of the game.. then a Canuck goal.. then an empty net goal.. with half a lineup
Umm draisaital played was a minus 1 hyman played 3 shots goal zero points ekholm played and was a minus 1. Maybe u didnt notice cuz we made them look invisible so i dont know wat ur talking about go look it up genius
Without mcdavid rest of the oilers are ass
And the kane goal was a high stick on top of that shuda challenged it
And soucy dropped him on his ass. So yah excuses excuses u had a full line minus mcdavid i just looked it up
And we had our back up goalie in net
Canucks are in for a surprise! Oilers in 7. Demko is suppose to be back for round 2
as usual, people are so enamored with stats, speed, etc... its a team game
Yeah and the Oilers have played an incredible team game under their new coach
Lets GO Oilers Chain ------->
Canucks in 6
Oilers in six. 😊
@@schrempskynate8944 Canucks in 5
Canucks in 4 - just like in the regular season. :)
Time will tell!
@@schrempskynate8944 Canucks in 5.
The Canucks beat the hottest team in the league in 6 games without Demko and with Pettersson being invisible. All you overconfident Oilers fans are about to be made look silly.
I’m excited to see your comment age like milk🤣. “Over confident oiler fans? You canuckle heads are finally in the playoffs after sucking for how long? You guys aren’t going anywhere lol. You guys couldn’t score hardly anything against Nashville get ready for the biggest disappointment of your life
I'm sorry when's the last time the Nucks were in the playoffs again?
Who says Oilers fans are scared ahahah. Playoffs are a different beast. Oilers swept jets in the Canadian division season and got swept in the playoffs....
Ya but Jets sucked in the playoffs, Vancouver didn't, crazy defensive series.
