  1. I wonder what the odds would of been if demko was starting. Wonder if it would would of changed much

  2. Goaltending wins the Cup. Better goalie, better chances. Skinner is overrated and lets in soft goals…..and no one has really seen the Canucks third goalie…..remember Hammond in Ottawa…..

  3. The regular season vs playoff narrative shaping is getting old. Canucks PK is firing on all cylinders right now, who cares about the regular season? The same people who say our penalty kill sucked this year in the regular season will say the season sweep of the Oilers meant nothing. Seems the regular season only factors in when someone is trying to win an argument about a specific team.

  4. Why do people keep quoting what are essentially meaningless statistics for 1 series? This isn't to say that the Canucks won't have a serious challenge on their hands, but Edmonton beat up on a team that couldn't score to save their lives. Playing a trap with very little offensive talent might work during the regular season – not during the playoffs. The Canucks managed to beat a team that could trap equally well, but that had lots of offensive power. One of the best teams, in fact, in the last half of the season. So please stop already with the statistical nonsense.

  5. Oilers in 5… maybe Canucks get 2 but this over in 5, 6 max. Oilers are more experienced. And have so many different ways to score. They can play off the rush or dump and chase.

  6. as much as you want to say pk in the reg season, we cant use that if we are going to use reg season the Vancouver should be the fav they beat them 4-0 lol playoffs is a new beast and vans pk has been amazing

  7. Nobody thought the Canucks would be here before the season started. They have exceeded all expectations and everyone’s counting the Nucks out….again, but never underestimate a team that essentially has nothing to lose.

  8. Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl with 18 lawn chairs are more talented then all 20 Canucks combined. Doesn’t mean the Canucks can’t win , they just have to work really hard, limit their mistakes and don’t take any dumb penalties. Go Canucks go!

  9. Vancouver can go back to the 4 wins sweep during the regular season even though experts don't think that counts but It does to Vancouver knowing they can beat the Oilers.
