The Last Canadian Team Standing | 32 Thoughts

[@cindyrussell1581]

As a Oiler fan, the Canucks got a great team. The last 2 games they seemed tired and ran out of gas.

[@Rockstar-lx2li]

Makes sense now why the Oilers weren't hitting as hard as Vancouver were ..

[@cookiimunsta]

@@Rockstar-lx2liif you’ve got more hits in the stat column than the other team at the end of the game, 9/10 times that means you didn’t have the puck as much as the opposing team. Can’t score without the ol’ biscuit

[@Mattoilers97]

So proud of my oilers this is going to be a great series let’s go oilers

[@DharmYogi]

If you guys had a better goaltender you guys could have won couple of cups already. Dallas will be hard to beat

Let's hope the way that VAN had to beat NSH helped them against the Oilers to the same degree it helps the Oilers against the Stars!

[@roboninja1]

Right call, but don't call it again? Only the NHL would choose that path over changing the rule. Amazing.

[@LuRoberto-ev4yi]

Gentlemen, another great podcast. However, I need to push back on one thought. The one thing that spoils the overall NHL experience, is overhyping players. Recently, case in point--Miro Heiskanen. While I will agree that his skating, and offensive ability are elite; his defensive prowess is absolutely rock-bottom. Yes, he has the skating ability to keep pace with a McDavid, unless he can execute a poke-check/stick check; he doesn't offer much else. Most recent example is Wood's overtime winner in Game 1 of the WCSF. In fact, if you do a deep dive, you will see that Heiskanen and Suter are the biggest reasons that Dallas fell to Vegas last season. The majority of Dallas' short-handed goals allowed are also a result of Heiskanen's inability (or unwillingness) to play disciplined hockey. If I were the front office in Dallas, I would be pushing to transition him to Wing. I can't recall if it was Mike Rupp or Bill Lyndsay on NHL Network, that did a comprehensive analysis on his defensive shortcomings; but, it was spot-on.

Lol, such click bait ... you barely even talk about THE LAST CANADIAN TEAM STANDING. 👎

[@KickAssets]

JT Miller was exactly what I thought. You basically have to buy in to win.

Rules as written, it was a charge. Rules as interpreted it was not a charge.

[@JimLaddie]

| thought you were actually going to talk about the last Canadian team standing? I guess if you had said "Canucks " no-one would lume in. . Bad form.

[@KptKrunch9481]

Demko is a great goalie but he's hurt a lot. Vcr needs to build a team where the goalie isn't the best player on their team if they want to win

[@andiman45]

well they did ok with their backup's backup didnt they?

[@Eugromlol]

nah thats dangerous if you leave your feet to deliver a hit whether your trying to protect yourself or not thats just a dangerous play

[@DonaldBelik]

If the Oilers get the goaltending Canada will finally bring the Cup home.

[@biglebowski3961]

Sounds like 1/4 of canuck players aren't returning.

[@ragnaraxelson59]

Goil!

Jeff went to Guelph? Hell yea, go Gryphons.

By tradion the last Canadian team in the playoffs is known as Canada's Team.

[@waynemilligan6649]

The Canucks' 20-man game seven line-up had only 2 Canadians while the Oilers had 16 Canadians. So . . . yeah . . . the Oilers' are Canada's team.

The have the worst goaltending. No way Skinner or Pickard outplays Oettinger.

[@KptKrunch9481]

Didn't know you were such an expert on goaltending, Oilers goaltending in particular. Have you seen all the Oiler games this year? Not saying the Oilers tandem is better than the Dallas tandem, but the margin of difference is no where near as large as you think it is. Plus, and it's not that close, the best two players in the series are in Edmonton, and that's true no matter who they play, in Draisaitl and McDavid - and as Vcr found out and as LA knows quite well, those two will grind you down and tire you out. I wonder how much gas Dallas has left after that series against Mackinnon and Makar? I think Dallas most likely wins series but probably in 7 games. If McDavid and Drai go Nuclear, then Oilers win

[@matt0395]

​@KptKrunch9481 don't kid yourself if Demko played oilers are done in 5

[@blastomanto5687]

@@KptKrunch9481 Hintz not playing is a huge break for the Oilers if he was playing I think Dallas wins in 5. Dallas plays better on the road than at home so the Oilers have that going for them so I think Oilers take game 1 but if it goes 7 Pete Deboer is 8-0 in Game 7s

[@rwrae72]

@@matt0395 Thank you! I thought Silovs played pretty well, considering he is #3. Something tells me wherever he ends up he won't stay #3. I'm just saying: of all the teams left, Edmonton has by far the worst goaltending.

[@ryanstaunton421]

Oilers beat these two teams. The Kings and Canucks. Dallas beat Vegas and avs. Oilers might have had the easiest path to the third round I’ve ever seen.

[@tylerreed6575]

Go Dallas go

[@andiman45]

as a Canuck fan, I can not cheer for the team that beat my Nucks...GO DALLAS GO!
