2024 Playoffs Discussion / Predictions

[Picker of Cherries]

Still hope both teams lose, but this is entertaining.
Best part is watching Bill Zito.
They should have a dedicated Zito cam.

They should have a dedicated Zito cam.

Agreed.

There will be heads rolling in Florida if the Panthers chock game 7. I mean they haven't really been close at in these past 3 games. They made game 5 entertaining but reminded me of late comeback attempts by the Canucks.

The Panthers stop pressing after they went up by 3 games and began to play straight defence. Problem is that Edmonton has figured out Bob. The good news if Edmonton wins is that we won't have to hear OEL thank the Canucks for buying him out. Not this year anyway.

I just hope for an entertaining game 7, evenly reffed as a game 7 should be. I hope the best of both teams show up. If Edmonton wins then they simply deserve it, flat out deserve it. I will be happy for RNH. And maybe Skinner a bit.

This is the best of both worlds - if Florida loses it’s a massive choke job that will be entertaining to watch. If Edmonton loses it will hurt more than ever given how close they are. Canucks fans win either way!

Not gonna die on that hill with you Diehard.

I really don't want the Oilers to win a Cup.

Now.

Or ever.

With you there.
Never heard a Panthers’ fan whine after you win a game against them, “yah, but the Canucks have never won a cup.”
Never met an Oilers’ fan that didn’t.

[Aaronp18]

Completely annoyed by the collective cheering for the Oilers right now.

No thank you.

At this point it may as well be as painful as possible. Lose in double OT of game 7.

[donlever]

I get your point but I personally have no desire to sit through 5 periods of uncertainty on a Monday night.

4 goals on Skinner in the first 14 minutes of the game and coast to a Cup.

The Panthers fans singing Livin' on a Prayer throughout the balance of the game whilst the Oil faithful grasp to a false hope that their savior will arise and pull them through will be quite enough pain in my estimation.

Yeah that’s true!

Guess I’m torn on how I want them to lose.

[Cousin Strawberry]

The last thing in the world anyone in western Canada needs is for the fucking coilers to have another gloat point. They need to splash down hard in game 7

If you thought they were unbearable before...just wait if they win

[Strangelove]

My neighbour is already gloating.

[Cousin Strawberry]

It might call for a flaming bag of dog shit on his doorstep with the bell rung as they hoist the cup

[Ronning's Ghost]

I know this isn't how you guys think, but an Oiler's victory actually represents the highest level of accomplishment for the '23/'24 Canucks season still possible at this point.

If the Oilers win, then the Canucks can say that the only team to beat them in the playoffs was the eventual Stanley Cup Champion, and they did as well against the champs as the Panthers, and better than the Stars or Kings.

I'm not sure that's the assessment of the roster that I want the Management-Ownership group to carry into this off-season, but I think it's the best way for the players and staff to think about how far they have come.

[donlever]

If the Panthers win the Canucks can say they lost to a team that made it to the 7th game of a SCF after being down 3-squat.

Good enough for me.

Fuck the Oilers.

[BoS]

I live in an area where an obnoxious amount of Edmonton transplants strut around.

School propaganda encourages my children to root for “The Canadian Team”

Fuck that noise.

O-O entering the 3rd.

Panthers win 4-0
