And they lost in six. Good thing they hired a new defensive coach to replace their old defensive coach, because clearly that's the problem with this team.

Yup, It's time to trade Pacioretty and Galchenyuk.
They are holding this team back
You don't believe in McJesus bro?

Pfft! Oilers won 4 out 5 games this year vs the Ducks, and the one they lost was super close.
Oilers got a chance! 7 games series probably, hopefully the Oilers can win.
edit:
Hes saving all his Ovechtricks for the Ducks.

Oilers are going to be tough. Great goaltending. McJesus being the incredible MVP that he is. The Samsung Galaxy S8 of hockey teams
It's going to be Nashville and Oilers for WCF

Don't know if joking or not, but I don't think I'dcare if MaxiPads got traded. Like at all.

What's the status on Edmonton fans' clapping abilities? Trying to get a feel for this series before it gets going.

I think he's hurt tbh. he hasn't been playing as good as he was in the regular season.
On a more general note, Anaheim has been excellent versus Western Canadian teams in the playoffs (swept the Jets and beat the Flames in 5 in 2015, swept the Flames this year) so I'm inclined to say the same will occur with the Oilers. If we're lucky, they'll push it 6. Otherwise, DucksGAF you should be looking forward to the conference finals in 2-3 weeks.
Edit: people here seem to think otherwise. Until I see a game 6, I remain confident the Ducks should deal with the Oilers quite easily.

That would be great!
Were fucking on point man. Top tier. Were good at blaming the refs too.

Shall Calamari and myself introduce ourselves to the off-season thread? Seems like the smart thing to do

The reverse psychology is real for DucksGAF
They're obnoxious. I have to live here so trust me. My boss who is a Flames fan, showed up yesterday in a brand new Oilers jersey.
Is your boss named Yoda T. Soda by chance?
We had a bunch of guys underperform. Pacioretty shouldn't be captain maybe, but he still helps a lot in getting you to the ball even if he's a shitty dancer during it. And at that cap hit? Fuck I'd take him if we needed wingers.
You just need more center depth and to not play Tortorella USA vs. Canada style bullshit with 4th line size/goons like it's the Montreal Bruins. It didn't work. Almost, but not quite. Ott never managed to phase Zucc. In fact, I think he energized him. And Vigneault thankfully stuck to 4 lines that could score so he put one up against your bottom 6 each time.
I think the Habs will be fine with a few adjustments. This was a tight ass series and Hank proved why he's been one of the best for a decade+. Doesn't change what Price is.
I do fucking love that we can finally settle 2014. Yes we can beat Price. Yes Hank is still as good/better when it matters.
I was convinced Tanner was back in when we saw what Claude was doing with the Montreal Bruins lineup. I'm so happy Buch played well enough that AV kept him in and we rolled 4 lines with skill. I was really surprised tbh.
edit: Habs fans, how is Sergachev doing? Haven't heard much other than ppl bitching he hasn't developed into a #2 D by now, which was somehow expected instantly. Genuine curiosity. Tinordi and Beaulieu both failed, and I thought they'd be mainstays by now. We had our own McIlrath disaster but Skjei is legit. And now we have our own Russian D to see next season.

Oh look, some Oilers fans have come out.
maybe some of them will stick around after they lose. I can't be the only one "representing" OilersGAF on a daily basis. I'm far too cynical about this team to poke fun at.

I wish the Avs lucked out on a generational talent.
We'd still suck.
But I thought you were a Jets fan, I have to remind you you can only root for one team here or else I'll have to call security and have them escort you outmaybe some of them will stick around after they lose.

Well it won't mean a lot, since I don't post often here anymore, but here it goes.
a) If Bergevin is still here next year and we still don't have a legitimate number one center.
b) If Bergevin is still here next year and Pacioretty is still captain.
c) If Bergevin is still here next year and we're not entering rebuild mode.
I'm not watching another habs game next season.

Forsberg is my favorite player ever, but the 19 is first for a reason.
If you do, I'll let you know where the sales are on avocados

Sergachev is going to be an excellent player but there's sometimes he has moments where he doesn't care, which is troubling. I'm still excited for him next season to make it on the rosters. I'm also excited for Another Defenceman on the London Knights, Victor Mete in the same draft as Sergachev.
Lmao he did that?
Mats the point.

If that's the case, we need to have a talk about your dual Devils-Stars citizenship.
Can one really be considered a regular if you only go to 2 out of 44 home games?
