Hmmm, no witty response? Looks like they've gathered up their tools and crawled back under their prock.

Either that, or they found Google

Too early to tell. Its blind guessing at this point which is foolish. Tarasenko has an obvious edge already though in the Calder runnings, nobody can dispute this.

Nuge had a pretty good size lead a week in last year. Where did he finish?

and you're calling us trolls???? hahahaha wow what a donkey, you realize it's only been two and a halfs years since our first top five overall pick ever right??? what did Pitsburgh do? 03 1st pick, 04 2nd, 05 1st, 06 2nd, cup in 09? something along those lines??? How can the oilers possibly not be in the playoffs two and a half years after their first overall pick? i guess they never will be... oh well at least we have cups to reminisce about, more than the Nucks have.... LOL i love how you can call people trolls and make such a stupid comment..... awesome

I don't have the time to go back and look up all your #1 draft picks from year's past and post exact numbers because I could care less about the Oilers and their history. I don't live in the past like Toronto and Oiler fans because my team actually makes the playoffs every year so I have meaningful hockey to watch. Let me guess your comeback though...how many Cups have you won though?

He had the RNH line matched up against the twins all night. They were ok, but that isn't a good matchup IMO.

I like Eberle/Nuge/Hall and the they maybe be ready one day, but there is no way they are ready to go up against two scoring champs yet.

And you can ask any Canucks fan on here, AV is pretty bad at matching up himself, so if he is dictating the matchups there is an issue with your coach.
- IanEsplen

It was his first game as HC so I will cut him some slack...

Guys, can we please try making constructive comments? If you think Ian is wrong, tell him who you think is going to win. Don't just make some snarky post about him being a homer.

not to mention he owns his own company for motivational speaking, it's quite vauluable to have someone like that with the kids, i'm really excited about Kruger
- SpoiledByOil

I think he's a solid choice for such a young team, I'm surprised that there aren't more guys coaching in the league with a professional background. Well, not really surprised, the old boys club is still pretty strong.

I wouldn't pump that up too much. Canucks had Ryan Walter for a year or two and he didn't help much.

Its a 48 game season, all bets are off.

Tarasenko is the real deal, and these goofs you mentioned arent even going to come close. Huberdeau will give him a run for his money, or another one of the many rookies light years better than the ones you mentioned. Lets not be silly now. Nuge also got hurt for a quarter of the season or he would have won it. So yea..good job.

You are one of the best... Gotta give it to ya... Trolling seems to be your forte.... But its 3 first overalls- 2x30thplace finishes... and its 5- thats 5 STANLEY CUPS to date...

The way your promoting for Esplen you may get him into Cloutier territory for hits per blog based on trolls! Cudos

he was injured....

What a shocker that he didnt know this.

RNH had the same points in 62 games that the ROY had in 82 games.

you don't have to, i'll tell you, Hopkins and Hall.. and the only reason why you don't live in the past is because you don't have one. It's not a comeback you want to troll our current team but ignore our history, and i'll troll your entire team including your history.... which is basically nothing


Edit: and of course Yaks

Are those Calder predictions a joke? An error? A brain fart? You being you?

Tarasenko isnt so hard to spell that you need to avoid it.
- systemtool

i don't understand how you can give the Calder to Smith the way Tarasenko and Huberdeu have come out flying, and with Schutlz and Yaks....
- SpoiledByOil

Just like Oilers and Leafs fans to hand out awards two games into the season.

No kidding. Notice how he snuck in a couple of Canucks? Like an injured Kesler winning awards. What a joke.
- systemtool

Well, Kesler does instantly becomes a better player the moment he is sitting on the bench rather than the ice.

Him not playing limits the chances to score by the other teams best players.

It would be a joke for him to win, but a very funny one indeed.

Impressive. I dont think there could have been a more ineffective come back. I feel better about myself now. And the Canucks are still behind both teams in the standings. Ahh what a beautiful day it is.

AV will be in the running for the Jack Adams

I'm predicting an Oilers vs. Leafs Stanley Cup Final, you guys are that good.

After he's fired and hired by the Leafs and they go on to win the Cup.

Please, dont speak of the Cup as if its anything more than a myth to Canucks fans. You guys treat the Cup like its big foot. A few pictures or sightings, but never really ever seen one up close in real life.
