I'm honestly not even worried about falling out of the top 3 of the Pacific. I realize we're not in until we get that x by our name but it would take something catastrophic for us to fall out completely. There's something up with Drai, and I think he's still not quite healed. We do need all hands on deck but we brought in depth forwards for a reason. If McDrai is the only way this team can win, this is going to be a really short playoffs.
Yes, this. I said this multiple times but when I did, I've been called Dr. Duke or something

Maybe you can be my associate, Dr. Keith and Dr. Drivesaitl will join our team of fine HF Medical Professionals to ensure Leon gets sufficient rest for the playoffs
Nah, I prefer Instagram Institution or TikTok PolyTek. Much better for visual learners.
The Oilers remaining schedule is extremely tough so if something catastrophic were to happen, this would be it. If they can win 2 out of the next 3 games against crucial opponents, then sitting Drai make perfect sense.
I graduated from Hollywood Upstairs Medical College, so I think I know what I'm talking about.
its a hand/wrist injury not a knee leg injury. there is no way he misses both those 1 timers last night, plus the LA game he took off his glove and it was all taped up like a mummy
I'd be more concerned about Kane being in the middle of a pile of wild players and no one on his own team coming in there to help out.
better late than never...
Where did I say that about Broberg? I just finished saying in a post Broberg's development curve is awful and his future as an NHL defenseman isn't a sure thing... that people need to lower their expectations not just on Broberg but other prospects. Look it up. It's very recent.Jebus does this belong in the JP thread. Just another poster who makes sh**t up and calls it all wrong consistantely cuz they default to inaccurate stats. Didn't you say Broberg was our best dman one nite
Remember Hyman's 2 goal game? Did he get those goals by "goalsucking? My guess is you probably have zero clue how those goals were generated?
In no way shape or form will I come out and say Hyman had a good game tonite, but even a comatose, blind, head trauma'ed patient can see who plays where
Hyman works below the goalline and behind the net. Literally MULTIPLE times per game he is the guy busting his ass behind the net and fighting to get it out
But the all ELITE Puljujarvi NEVER goes back there, or beats a man silly to skate it out. Yet you are one of the culprits in the JP thread praising JP and his "defensive prowess" while sitting here with a straight face claiming Hyman goal sucks
Get a grip on reality son
Oh ya, let's pile on Woodcroft too. He plays Hyman on the PK and last minute cuz he's a goal suck while JP and his all encompassing defensive genuis sit on the bench. Woodcroft is sabotaging the team, let's go with that
'
If it's a hand/wrist injury why could he barely skate when he got hurt? Why was he limping? There is no evidence that his injury is not lower body.
I wouldn't be surprised if he was nursing three injuries. This is one of the best players in the history of the game and this franchise won't rest him. I'm pissed.
That was then, this is now. And for a 34 year old with a ton of miles on him and being unable to play for an entire year, it makes it especially tough to come back. What a difference a year makes . Another ring around Caey's age circle and he looks like he's banged up enough to really start to go down. I think last year was his last great hurrah. But you can get him for the miserly sum of only 10.5 million for the next 4 years. A huge no thanks.
I don't think that we played overly poorly outside of some absolute brain sharts in our own end, I just feel like they create match-up problems for us because of their size, speed and skill. Sometimes teams just have other teams numbers, hopefully IF we meet in the postseason that changes.
why did he show up for warm up vs SJ and skate perfectly fine then shut it down?
