Will always be an advantage in the Final even if they travel. It is matter of how they recover well with some energy while we're depleted out of those energy. Eastern teams start playing games at 10:00 - 10:30 their time when in Vancouver, games scheduled to 1:00am last night for example, that's not as easy as playing earlier. California same thing except they like 7:30 starts (travel to games go figure), so the puck drops around 10:45est. Going an hour isn't the end of the world, especially if it's down an hour (7:00pm to 6:00pm). It's not as bad as your making it out to be. And by your logic we'd be better off playing Vegas than NSH, purely on travel. It's harder for teams to fly WEST to play then EAST to play, that's a fact. Maybe you'd be surprised if you go back and look year to year, what teams actually travel the most and put the most miles on. Hint it's not Vancouver, although up there often enough, we are also right there with a group of teams that also do it. Sometimes we aren't even in the top five (schedule makers pay extra attention to avoid silly routes with us, where other teams are sent all over the place back and forth). One year not too long ago, it was COL go figure, usually it's a CALi team. Or EDM. Don't see a big difference between been in the air for one hour or two hours. Most of it's the hassle of boarding and waiting and leaving etc. Van to WNP now that's pretty far. The rest meh. TO to FLD or MTL or OTT to FLD, isn't exactly close either. Vancouver definitely doesn't have an advantage or disadvantage as far as the teams in the West go. WNP has it worse id think. They are close enough to the East to consider re-alignment. Grew up with Detroit and TO in our conference. And with 21 teams, we played each other a lot more too. With 32 teams everything is much more condensed, maybe there was a time we could bitch about travel, that times long gone now, too many teams in the same boat.

We need both. It's a big intangible, literally Big, having Myers, Juulsen. Coles not a big dude really but in today's NHL he's not small either. It's also really nice to see our defense big again. Soucy and Zadorov were very good last night. Myers made a great play too. The leagues smaller then it's been since the late 80's, early 90's as far as forwards go.

Yea, man. Coilers were 'DeSmittified' in the first period.

Aside from needing to bring back some key players in the off season; I'm sure they're looking' to somehow get a scoring winger for Petey. To me, that's really the only thing missing. But as of now. I could care less about that. We've got a great line up; playoff ready and I'm freakin' sooooo excited for the second season to start.

Joe King Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 7 hours ago, AlwaysACanuckFan said: Really awesome to see teammates care for each other. Also not concerned that McDavid didn't play as I think Miller is very good at shadowing him and limiting his offence. Our bottom nine I feel are better than Edmontons. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJockitch Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Glad to see LA or Edmonton go out in first round hopefully with one of Dallas or Vegas. LA seems like bad matchup for us, obviously Oilers aren’t but don’t want to be in a seven game series with McDavid and his refs, our PK just hasn’t been great. On the brighter side man Lindholm looked good. Was hoping he would score so that those who only look at the scoring line to evaluate a player would get off him. So active and aggressive on the PK, some great passing and solid physical play. Having him between Joshua and Garland is something I have been waiting for. Give those 2 more puck possession time and a guy with a history of solid offence. That is a third line that will give teams fits. Mik’s hands of stone are even worse than the Honey Badger’s. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hogs and Podz Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 7 hours ago, Mando27 said: Oilers are a soft team, they are going to get dummied in the playoffs. You could clearly see that they're used to getting favorable calls. They rely on their pp. Whine a awful lot. Unfortunately... Don't like to compare but they remind me of our 2011 team. Really, really skilled but crumble when leaned on by a bigger team.... Get frustrated, whine to the refs for calls. That's why the 2011 team wasn't liked outside of Van. The Coil won't be like outside of Deadmonton. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When hes gone its going to be a big loss, so good on draws & trustworthy in matchups. I agree. Hopefully he loves Van and he and his agent try to make signing here a priority. Probably unlikely but that's what I'm hoping for. I have a lot of confidence in our management team. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
