Benn has dropped a few times with some notable middleweight. I don't think he would go with nurse, but i could see kane vs benn

Benn wouldn't fight either, he knows he's a better player than either and it'd be a net loss for the team

 

[MBTendy]

The Kings and Canucks were 2 of the top 3 teams in the west defensively this season.

Numbers inflated due to opponents lol.

Its the Stars who haven't played a team as good defensively as Edmonton yet.

I really hope you’re trolling for your sake.

 

[Bank Shot]

I would like to see the Oilers win but I think they're in for a beating. They have played much inferior teams than Dallas has. Edmonton's only chance is to dive like crazy and hope for a ton of power plays to keep them in it. I think this is one of the more predictable series so far in the playoffs. Dallas in 5.

Oilers were one of the best 5v5 teams in the league this year. Better than Dallas by GF% and expected GF%. They can play 5v5.

A yes, the mighty Oilers who lit up the Kings stout defense chasing legendary all-star Cam Talbot from the net

the Oilers finished 10th in the league in GA this year
Vegas was 12th
Colorado was 17th

he's not wrong

1-3-1 baby. You won't win games, and you won't have any fun doing it

Classic case of stat watching.

Keep telling yourself the Kings and Canucks (lmao) were tougher opponents in a 7 game playoff series than Vegas and Colorado.

The fact it’s even discussed is hilarious.

Yea, but Dallas finished 9pts ahead of the Oilers this year. So Dallas will win. End of the discussion/series.

 

[starsfan86]

Iginla was mid thirties for this fight. Benn was early 20s.

Come on man. If he really wanted to fight Nurse, he would beat the shit out of him. But he knows that’s a bad trade off.

 

[Brookbank]

Doesn't Dallas have 2 of the most overpaid 3rd liners in hockey ?

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

1-3-1 baby. You won't win games, and you won't have any fun doing it

they then beat a Canucks team that finished 6th in GA...11 less goals than the Stars gave up

 

[Nikki Potnick]

2-1 against the Oilers holding McDavid to 1 assist.

We can go all day.

They sure do. But the fact that they are “3rd liners” says something. Team is deep bro

 

[JKG33]

It's almost like the Canucks were missing a top 5 goalie or something

I'm not, I don't know the original argument
all I'm saying is the Oilers beat some of the top "defensive" team in the playoffs this year

2-1 against the Oilers holding McDavid to 1 assist.

We can go all day.

cool, the Nucks swept us in the regular season

what's your point?

Colorado got bounced by Seattle last year. Its clearly a different team today than the 21/22 juggernaught.

I was praying the Stars would play the Kings first round

Oh was that the same team they scraped by in the playoffs? And before you answer, it wasn't.

yeah, goaltending was why the Canucks lost....lol

Lol. Good luck to him. Say what you want about Nurse as a Dman but he is tough.

 

[starsfan86]

Yes, y’all are weird indeed.

Would be a good fight. Doubt there are any fights at all though

 

[Nikki Potnick]

Lol. Good luck to him. Say what you want about Nurse as a Dman but he is tough.

Say what you want about Benn, he's fought a lot tougher guys than Nurse. "only fights guys that are not tough"

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Yes, y’all are weird indeed.

anyone taking the time to post on a message board is passionate about their team
that's not weird
