I remember growing up with what I thought was fair and impartial hockey coverage. But it’s obvious more than ever that corporate agendas and advertising dollars trump everything. Might as well be watching these series on Oilers TV. Wouldn't you expect them to focus on a Canadian team? 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Heffy Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 17 minutes ago, JustRich said: One thing I really noticed was the lack of will and urgency by the coils in the last few minutes. Our team would've cranked it up. These guys are hack frauds and watching them lose this series will be so delicious. That's what happens when your captain cares more about individual stats than winning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe In Blue Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 Wouldn’t surprise me if Dallas wins the next 2. I picked Dallas in 5. Oilers blew a lead, and Skinner let in shitty goals. Sounds familiar, no? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if were Van against Dallas and SN didn't focus on Van, you wouldn't be calling them unprofessional hacks for not supporting the last Canadian team standing? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big difference is Vancouver is a repectable hockey team unlike Edmonton. Sportsnet has never covered the sport professionally and I would expect nothing different if the Canucks were in this position. Those dirtbags were openly rooting against us in 2011. 1 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please don't tarnish Sarah by associating her any closer to Big Baboon (oops sorry, I shouldn't insult baboons either) than she is! I think Darnell Nurse is an overpaid underperforming defenseman.

Dallas is a powerhouse, because they drafted incredibly well. No state taxes help a ton when it comes to re-signing guys and UFAs. Best team in the league in arguably the best division. No small task. Edited May 28 by IBatch 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBatch Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 Dallas in six. Don't think they will close them out easily. Do think they will though. It's tough, on one hand they are the final Canadian team, and I do root for that. So far the EDM-VAN series is considered the most emotional, hard fought series of the playoffs. Only chance EDM has at this point is to match that emotion level and McDavid needs to go into the belly of the beast, like his butt-buddy Draisatl. Otherwise they are toast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Heretic Posted May 28 Popular Post Share Posted May 28 Oilers and their fans have got to be the biggest cry babies in the NHL. Not too sure with player (wasn't McBaby) but after last nights game he was commenting on the lack of power plays for the Oilers - when I checked the box score, it looks like the Stars had 3 penalties and the Oilers only had 2. Why the heck would you cry about that? And we all know about Kane and the Oilers whining to the NHL about the Green Men. Grrrrr....if only Demko and Boeser didn't get injured... 2 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
