Don’t be so hard on you Oiler fans, you don’t make things up, you just arbitrarily decide what counts in the regular/post season

As opposed to you making things up annd arbitrarily adding won series to your teams playoff resume.

Nice.

Sure, and Tampa never won a cup that season

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

I'm going to go off script here - I want to talk about a memorable Oiler memory I have.

Todd Marchant's game winner in overtime vs Dallas in 1997. In fact, that whole game was absolutely electric. Joseph's eye popping save in OT, and then Marchant just turning on the after burners, blowing by everyone and scoring that goal - as an objective third party, that's one of the more memorable non-Canuck games I've ever watched.

 

[AnInjuredJasonZucker]

...Joseph's eye popping save in OT....

That's the call I thought of when I heard that Bob Cole died.

 

[Brookbank]

Does anyone know what the Edmonton Oilers powerplay PDO is ? Where can we get these stats ?

How come every expert says the regular season series means nothing due to AVS/JETS when Boston swept the Leafs and Nucks swept the Preds in the reg season and both won their series ??????????

AVS/JETS isn't the hot take everyone thinks it is

 

[Me9999999999]

Of course they did.

Let's not bring Tampa Bay into this though. The only team in history to win "round 5" of the playoffs.

 

[Grifter3511]

Oilers Cujo was my favourite Cujo.

 

[Kerberos]

Statistically he has peaked based on other generational players.
We will see if the 9th place finish by the Oilers was an anomaly. As you say we will have to see what happens next year.

You'd think by now people would stop making themselves look incredibly stupid when it comes to placing limits on what McDavid is capable of. But nope.

 

[Three On Zero]

Of course they did.

For now, yup! but who knows. One day 5 rounds might be the norm

 

[Brookbank]

You'd think by now people would stop making themselves look incredibly stupid when it comes to placing limits on what McDavid is capable of. But nope.

You know how many even strength points McDavid had against the Canucks this season ? Zero.

 

[Grifter3511]

You'd think by now people would stop making themselves look incredibly stupid when it comes to placing limits on what McDavid is capable of. But nope.

All the best players in the history of the game had their best seasons at an age younger than mcdavid is now. So your opinion is McDavid is an outlier and his best is still to come?

It depends on whether you consider another 150+ point, 50+ goal season better than his 153 point, 64 goal campaign but yes, I expect him to flirt with those types of numbers a couple more times in his career.

McDavid is unlike almost anything we've ever seen in the NHL. He's his own thing.

 

[I am toxic]

You know how many even strength points McDavid had against the Canucks this season ? Zero.

But he chickened out of the last match-up, maybe he would have scored 5v5 in that one if be had the fortitude to show up.

 

[Brookbank]

You know who had a better powerplay than the Edmonton Oilers post All-star break ? The Predators

 

[PuckG]

But he chickened out of the last match-up, maybe he would have scored 5v5 in that one if be had the fortitude to show up.

If that’s the outlook on injuries, then where the **** is Demko when your team needs him for the games that matter most?

I hope we can check 'life stats' after we die. One of the first things I'll ask God is how many times I have watched that Marchand OT goal, cause it's a hell of a lot. That whole game and hours later are seared into my teenage memory banks. Happy times.

The Oiler’s powerplay did take a dip. Back up and running

 

[Megaterio Llamas]

I'm planning to riot this year if Quinn Hughes doesn't win the Norris.

Playoffs, not so much.

 

[CaptainUgly]

Oilers gotta call up Jack Campbell now right?!

 

[Dieseloil]

Done

Ridiculous this series hasn't started yet.

I've seen that before .
Gretz.
Mario
Orr

They were and still are their own thing.

He’s an amazing player and will play at an elite level likely into his late 30’s.
Could end up the fourth best player I’ve ever had the honour to watch if he keeps this up.
No one is catching Gretzky and Orr in my books. Nor Lemieux.

 

[Regal]

All the best players in the history of the game had their best seasons at an age younger than mcdavid is now. So your opinion is McDavid is an outlier and his best is still to come?

Eh, that’s mostly true but a lot of that can be attributed to injury or weaker training practices in the past that led to earlier aging or league wide scoring making their later years appear to be lower than they were. We just had two of the best seasons of the past 20 years by players older than McDavid.

Sorry we can’t hear what Canucks fans are saying.
