2017-18 Around the League | Congratulations Washington Capitals!

[GodPucker]

and he scores. Great sequence for Backlund. Has such a punchable face

 

[CycloneSweep]

I think Calgary would spank us right now.

 

[GodPucker]

Cool story bro. You must be buddies with GreatKeith lol

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Be pretty funny if the Leafs lose to the Yotes

 

[BlackDogg]

And Phoenix is up on Toronto 2-1. If they win, they'll be 3 behind.

A lot of posters don't think Chiarelli will be fired if the Oilers wind up in the bottom 5-10 and will be given another season.

I think he will most definitely be gone for sitting on his hands all summer waiting for the calendar to roll around to September with glaring holes in the roster. This was supposed to be a year where the Oilers were supposed to impose their dominance in the division and these "lions" have turned into declawed house cats meanwhile an expansion team is fighting for top spot in the division.

Frustrated doesn't even begin to sum my feelings up. The 5 points the Oilers are out of a wild card spot by might as well be 25.

Yep, never been so disappointed with a team in my life. And been cheering for this team for 30 years. It doesn't help watching the OOT scoreboard either. Other teams seem to overachieve with their assets (Flames).

 

[Ritchie Valens]

Just had a look at the box score between Calgary and Washington. Another 5 motherf***ing powerplays for Calgary so far when the Oilers didn't get one in 2 games against the Caps. 4-1 Flames. Barf.

 

[GodPucker]

It's crazy that the Oilers have the least amount of PP's in the NHL

 

[Yeah15]

Yikes, maybe I should have held off buying tickets to the BoA in Calgary on the 2nd. Here's hoping the Oilers start getting hot too

Zero consistency with the officiating again. Chicago has 31 more PPs in the same number of games played. Why?

Good teams earn PPs

 

[Del Preston]

Good teams earn PPs

Definitely. Explains why Vancouver is 4th and Arizona is 9th.

Looks like we've got another lost Flames fan on our board.

 

[OilCountry93]

Whoever it was that said Gaudreau and Monohan aren’t cornerstone players is so off. Gaudreau looks better than McDavid the last few weeks and Monohan is on pace for 40+ goals. Infuriating watching them improve and we wallow in our own self crapulence.

Well what are you saying? All teams should earn equal powerplays? Are you calling conspiracy against the Oilers?

 

[Del Preston]

No. I was pointing out there is no consistency between the officials from game-to-game.

 

[MoneyGuy]

The Flames win a game and their first thought is to check our board, lol. A sad and obsessed fanbase.

Meh, there are several of us who go over there after an Oilers win then disappear until the next one.

Can I ask why? What's the point?

 

[MoneyGuy]

Can I ask why? What's the point?

Not sure if this is what you're asking but I'm commenting on our fans who troll their board after an Oilers win. Both fan groups do it. Is that what you're asking?

 

[Del Preston]

Yeah. I don't see the point, or understand what trolling another board is going to accomplish.


Anyway, Devils/Wild is getting rough in the third period.

 

[Ritchie Valens]

And the Coyotes win another one.

Officially 3 points behind Edmonton now.

They have also played 3 more games to be fair.

Well let's see if the Oilers can do anything with those games in hand.

 

[CycloneSweep]

Well tomorrow probably not. Maybe Detroit?

 

[Drivesaitl]

They have also played 3 more games to be fair.

The more salient point is it was not even their intent to ice a competitive club this year. They are in clear and absolute rebuild mode with virtually nothing in the lineup. That we have to mention them being on our tail should be shocking.

 

[Del Preston]

Well tomorrow probably not. Maybe Detroit?

I don't want to say tomorrow is definitely a must-win (in November, kill me) but if they are going to turn it around it has to happen within the next couple games. They need 5 or 6 points over the next four or the hole is going to be way too deep.

No way we even look competitive against St Louis. We managed a period last time, I don't see us doing that well again.
