Feeling good about this series.
Some random thoughts:
-It's somewhat ironic that the Canucks are one of two Canadian teams remaining considering how "un-Canadian" their roster is. I just did a quick check, and of the 20 guys that dressed for them in game 6, only two were born in Canada, (Phillip Di Giuseppe and Carson Soucy). This might be the least "Canadian" team in NHL history. Eight of twenty are American born (would be nine if Demko was healthy). No judgement on my part--just an interesting twist. For comparison the Oilers are very Canadian--16 out of 20 who dressed for game 5 (all but Draisiaitl, Ekholm, Ryan, and Janmark) are Canadian born (was 17 out of 20 when Carrick was in for Ryan).
-The Oilers are 14-2 in their playoff series history against Canadian opponents (and a perfect 14-0 when they don't score on themselves and are playing in front of fans in buildings) including 2-0 against Vancouver. It is remarkable that this will be only the third playoff meeting between the two, considering they've been in the same division for the Oilers entire history. The Canucks were almost always missing the playoffs in the mid/late 80s, while the Oilers were doing it in the mid-90s.
-In round 1 the Oilers won game 1 at home for the first time since their last cup in 1990. Another thing that they have not done since 1990 is sweep a team--would be a good time to end that drought as well--while maybe not likely, I think it's possible.
Canucks fans only burn down their city after losses in the finals, so I think we owe it to the people of Vancouver to take out the Canucks now and save Vancouver the millions of dollars in property damage.
Can't wait for the series to start. Week between series is too long!
