also to all the coilers fans rage-lurking the canucks sub
reminder that if you brag about cups you weren’t even alive for, you’re an unfathomably huge dork
They’re coping so hard it’s low-key sad to see
Love the W but Devils got got in almost the exact same way. Swept the lightening in the regular season and then got lit up in the second round.
I genuinely believe the Oilers are one of our best stylistic matchups. They have a defence core that gets exploited by a fierce forecheck, negative forward depth, and an inconsistent goaltender.
Contain McDrai with our grindy defensive game and wait for our bottom six to roll over theirs. It’s how Vegas beat them last year
All of this means nothing unless we make it to the second round or beyond.
Let’s stay humble.
It’s not just the fans, it’s professional writers towing this line too, which is even worse.
It’s so biased, even Oilers fans are clowning on the writer in the comments.
Oh wow, a rare Brandon Sutter sighting.
The fuck messier was coup de gras
None of these game really matter to me though hardcore Canucks fan. Regular season is soo different than the playoffs.
ISame reason why I find it laughable that oilers fans are so cocky when their team has got swept in conference finals a few years ago and kicked out game 6 of second round last year and before that got eliminated by Chicago and Winnipeg
If the VGK get kicked out in the first round I think I’m riding along with the Nux to the end, especially to see them embarrass the Oilers.

I skimmed [this article](https://theathletic.com/5413608/2024/04/14/edmonton-oilers-focus-playoffs/) (Athletic, paywall) this morning and laughed the whole way through.
