[@Canadian.Reacts]

Even tho I’m salty the canucks lost, I still want Edmonton to win. McDavid and drai really deserve a cup

[@SaveznaRepublikaJugoslavija]

McDavid is now fired up and I believe if McDavid and Skinner show up like this for the rest of the series it's over in six. Key question is if.

[@tanvirubhi370]

As a HUGE Canucks fan, I am rooting for the Oilers to win the cup and bring it home to Canada after so many years, and the Canucks will bring her home next year! fingers crossed!

[@kwaty]

The Oilers also have the most Canadian players of any team to reach the conference finals in the cap era.

[@nrXic]

Not only does Edmonton have the most Canadian players (24) on any NHL team during the Cap era (nevermind this season), they have 3 players from Vancouver. Nuge (Burnaby), Kane (Vancouver), and Stecher (Richmond). So if they do win the Cup, Vancouver will be seeing a lot of it over the off-season.

[@glenroberts9831]

I'm an Oilers guy. When the Oilers get beat in the playoffs, I have always rooted for the team that beat them. At least if that team goes on to win the Cup, you can always say, well, no one else could beat that team either. If that same team loses badly the next round...well it just makes your team look even worse.

[@KptKrunch9481]

Oiler fan , grew up in Wpg as a Jets fan and that was our mantra. No one else beat Gretzky either - so even though (at the time) I hated them, I wanted them to beat everyone else. That's why I can't understand 'nuck fans who hope the Oilers get destroyed! Not saying you have to cheer for the Oilers, but deep down you want to lose to the eventual NHL cup champs, don't you?

[@ayoustark]

100%. we lost the last two years to the cup winner

[@Coolman0893]

Canucks fan here, I never thought of it that way, that's a good perspective to consider, maybe I should adopt that as my own 💯

[@mikealkarout9555]

I don't get Canucks fans who want the Stars to beat the Oilers . So if you think the Oilers get beat by the Stars then what does that say about your Canucks if they would have faced the Stars?? We had Canucks fans right after the Oilers eliminated them saying ''Stars in 4'' or '' clean sweep'' So your saying the Canucks also would stand no chance ,don't get it!!.

[@Slvrbuu]

Product of a more rabid fan. Not saying all fans, just the more rabid ones. At least in the past few seasons, the Oilers were knocked out by the eventual champions. And if we do get knocked out again, I'm actually a Stars fan as well, so I'd hope they'd get it. But I'm definitely hoping we get it. :P

[@cheechdubinsky6709]

Too muck logic for the 'riot' fans

[@patrickday1816]

Because most Oilers fans would say the same thing. It's not rocket science.

[@mikealkarout9555]

@@patrickday1816 Nah bud the majority of Canucks fans are by far the most delusional and the most bitter of any nhl team i have ever seen. From stupid excuses like ''we would have swept them if Demko was in net'' like he has never been scored on or never lost a game to '' If Boeser was in game 7 we would have won'' even though he was in game 6 and they took a 5-1 tar and feathering to the most delusional ''we almost won''.

[@user-bi6yf4hv9g]

As an Oiler fan I would like to thank the Canucks for running us through the mill, the physicality...the push backs!.... It has prepared us moving forward. I would add Dallas is not as physical as Canucks so I dont think they will dominate nor intimidate us in that way. Canucks you guys did well!...Now let's bring home the Cup....TOGETHER!

[@blakehavard]

You need a team to win a cup. The team has been growing to get to this point. How many years did Detroit lose out in playoffs before they raised the cup? Small market team. I don't get why people say he dives? I don't see it. I am sure you could make a long video of non calls on him. He is constantly being hooked and grabbed to slow him down. Edmonton fans have been so lucky to be able to watch him for so many years. Hope they win. Hardest championship to win in sports.

[@generalimlerith8356]

Game recognizes game the guy always steps up

[@jinkim917]

this channel rocks. i'm an oiler fan. and for the record: if canucks beat oilers, and toronto had advanced too, i'd be cheering for canucks now.

[@alessandroalafriz8162]

Shonnen McDavid. He'd fit well into an anime. Or perhaps, he'd also make a great main Villain.

[@edited1325]

He’d be the ultimate boss and would be in the Zone the whole game

[@CC-of5xl]

He's just hockey Gojo

[@Polytrout]

I'm cheering for Edmonton because I hate seeing McDavid and Draisaitle not winning. But I also like seeing the goaltenders' personal sagas, their successes and comebacks (read Stuart Skinner and the way Calvin Pickard performed when he had to). It is so interesting how when we think Edmonton we think high scoring and powerplay yet they have the best penalty killing and stronger than expected defensive play. Seeing contributions from the 4th line is also encouraging even if it's setting the stage for the top line on the next shift. I can"t help but cheer for Edmonton. They are favourites and underdogs all at the same time.

[@triple8s]

Go Oilers Go!!! 💪

[@Youngb8]

If Oilers win the next game, I say Oilers in 6.And Honestly if the Oilers did lose, I probably would’ve cheered for the Vancouver too honestly at this point in the playoffs, I just cheered for any Canadian team now lol

[@cheechdubinsky6709]

Draisaitl is the best since Jagr. No way he's leaving.

[@Crypto-Innovation]

Imagine the triumph if the Oilers seize the victory! It wouldn't just be a win for them, but a beacon of hope for Vancouver, illustrating how close they are to grasping that coveted cup once again. It's a testament to the passion and resilience of Canadian hockey, where every team pushes the boundaries and elevates the game. After three decades, the time feels ripe for Canada to reclaim its glory on the ice. And hey, if my beloved Oilers would have failed the last round, I'd proudly hop on the Canadian Vancouver wagon without hesitation. Let's rally behind our teams, celebrate the spirit of the game, and shout out loud: Go Oilers Go!"

[@dizawnofwizar]

the amazon show about the NHL is going to be a good one though that's for sure

[@shabazzed]

i hope youre right

[@TwonVonJon]

Yes, McDavid is HIM from the Powerpuff Girls.

[@RC30018]

Leon over McDavid in my opinion he's a real work horse

[@me7361]

real

[@dirk903]

Lolz a main character with main character syndrome When the NHL chooses you to be their "it" man, not much can be done to stop it lol

[@LEON..D]

He earned every single second of respect he has unless you are a jealous hater :)

[@dirk903]

He has earned alot, and I give him full credit for talent.... But the NHL protects players like him all the time. It's not about being jealous it's more about him being treated different because of said talent that he gets to the levels he is at (just like Gretzky from his own words)

[@BrandonHilikus]

@@LEON..D he just needs to stop being whiney. everytime its a call against him. especially when it its no question high stick.

[@LispyOnSaltz]

did u watch game 1? the stars had like 5 power plays and 2 of em were 4 mins and they didn’t score once, edmonton had 1 powerplay that was split in 2 between the second and third period, they do not get favouritism against the big american teams

[@LEON..D]

@@BrandonHilikus it's his job as the captain to be the coach on the ice . Every team has a captain and they all complain

[@denispicard4503]

I'm from Montreal and of course a Habs fan. I don't want the Oilers to win because i'd like the Habs to still be the last Canadian team to win the cup

[@Raysin73]

What do you know

[@cheechdubinsky6709]

Obviously, more than you

[@JesMcdld-nb6pg]

What are you people talking about it's anybody's series but as a Canadian you should go oilers unless your team is in final 4 McDavid has the flu bug from game 6 in Vancouver game 7 post interview his voice was so horse you could barely understand him but get a grip on a Detroit fan but I'm pulling for oil I would be going for Vancouver if they had beat oilers

[@zigfield723]

Wth are you talking about? 😂

[@calvincharlie703]

McDavid is not him, the NHL is handing him the Stanley Cup on Silver Platter. They did the same with Sidney Crosby. The same with Wayne Gretzky.

[@schmapps1]

Yeah those 5 pp’s to 1 for Dallas in game one sure prove that theory 🙄. Oh and the oilers have almost the worst playoff penalty differential since 2017 if you’re wondering. If anything the refs do us dirty.

[@burnedoils]

one win, calm down little boy

[@patrickday1816]

McDavid is a whiny baby, just like Crosby was when he was young. Is he a God like Marner is?

[@nugerone5475]

God must enjoy golfing. He does it every year after round 1.

[@jodegauthier2984]

Cry some more.

[@BrandonHilikus]

I'm neutral now took a few days though. Oiler fans are still annoying though.

[@ti5826]

Every fan base has those yours is no exception 😊

[@edited1325]

Oilers own the Canucks

[@cheechdubinsky6709]

Messier jinxed the Canucks; haha

[@boltfanbeliever76]

Connor Mcdavid is not the best player in the world how many points did he have in the regular season and how many did Kucherov have thank you enough said he’s good and he’s scary but not the best numbers don’t lie
