PLAYOFF PRE-GAME THREAD: GAME 1 – Vancouver Canucks (0-0) at Edmonton Oilers (0-0) – 8 May 2024 – 7:00PM PDT

Oilers were not tested to the level the Canucks were in Round 1. They’re also under significantly more pressure to perform, I think most Canucks fans are just happy to be here at this point. Think it will be a game with 4+ goals for each team and an exciting start to Round 2.

It’s all fun and games until Big Z blasts McDavid into the shadow realm.

This series has had my stomach in knots the last few days.

I am so damn excited for this series.

If anyone has a single ticket for the game tonight for sale, please DM me… thanks! GCG!

I am going to be screaming, yelling, and swearing at the TV today. Mostly at McDavid and the lousy reffing that I am sure will be tilted in favour of McWhiney and the gang.
GO CANUCKS GO!! This is your series to shine Petey!

It’s time boys, lock and load! Light ’em up!

Had a dream we beat them 9-8 last night. Take that as you will

Even if we get wrecked, I am just happy to be playing hockey in early May.

Ryan Whitney is a loser!

I am disturbingly calm about this.

Checking in from enemy territory. One of us will not be smiling tomorrow.
Kind of a great position to be in going into the series. If we lose, our season was still successful and we have a lot to build on. If we win, we get to prove 99% of the hockey world wrong.
LET’S GO BABY!

McDavid needs to be Zadoroved early and often.

Darnell Nurse walks into the Oilers room and everybody yells, “NORM”!!!
AhhhFuckThis
Darnell Nurse wears a cummerbund with t-shirt and jeans.

I’m not even nervous.
After Round 1, everything else is bonus hockey.
Having said that, two elderly asian ladies in Canucks jerseys just walked into the train and it’s 10am.

This is going to be an extremely tough series for us, and by all metrics, Edmonton is expected to take it, but like, imagine how hilarious it would be if they lost. I’m here for the implosion, lets make it happen guys!

LFG! drag the oil until they a oil streak

Just have to score a few quick ones / win a couple early, piss off McD and Drai and then watch them implode

Nucks have the opportunity to do the funniest thing this series. They can plant the seed of doubt in them tonight.

My bud managed to score corporate tickets for Game 5 if it happens. I’m beyond stoked as they are like row 4 in the corner. Hoping we take the first game tonight such that the only way Game 5 doesn’t happen is if we sweep!

CBC stream is great, but there is quite a delay. May want to mute your chats and notifications.

Remember when nobody gave us a chance in the home opener against Edmonton and we beat their ass 8-1? Similar vibes

Can’t wait for another game of Nurse, Draisaitl, and McDavid trying to injure everyone

My hope for the series. This version of the Canucks at the very least makes this version of the Oilers hate them for life.
Be frustrating, be punishing, Silovs steals a game or two.

4-2 Canucks. LFG.

Oil was a hyuge win streak prior to the ASG. Came back flat against VGK and then proceeded to play mediocre for a couple of weeks.
VAN won their first game back (and against CAR, too!) and proceeded to go 4-1-0.
Oil have been sitting around for a while. Gotta jump on them before they get their legs back.

Rogers Arena all night: SKINNER! SKINNER! SKINNER! (rinse and repeat)

If we go out there and spank the Oilers tonight I think their mental is gonna collapse. Their early season spiral can be directly correlated to us humbling them right off the bat.
Putting them back in their place after all this hype about how they’re ‘a changed team’ is gonna do us wonders

I want to see Zadorov hit Nurse back to Edmonton
Hyper0059
This will be my first ever live playoff game!
Also, anything I must try in the arena? I don’t drink, so I don’t mind splurging on the food?

> Yeahs but have you considered the fact that the Oilers weren’t trying and the Canucks are finally going to be exposed as frauds? No chance for the Canucks

Grip it, rip it, repeat.
Darnell Nurse swings his hips to shut the fridge
If we pull of this series win, oh man the hockey world is gonna hate us soooooo much lol
Prediction: JTs gonna make WAH WAH McDavid WAH WAH tonight! 😭
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOO!
JT Miler is Connor McDavid’s father
Please destroy the Oilers
Any word on if Petey is still sick?

Come on Petey, plz baby.
Imagine if the Canucks win this 8-1.
My god the panels and Oilers sub would implode.
Any update on Petey’s illness?
