Product of mcdrai though

Lmao. Our top three player have a combined 300 pts. You’d have to be and absolute train wreck to not be able to cash in on that as a top pairing d man…

And the the other guys mentioned play with bums?

Pretty hard to not cash in playing on super teams either.

Never said that…lol.

Guys like Makar create their own offence though so big difference imo.

Nurse has 16 EV points (in 69 games) on goals that McDavid and Draisaitl didn't get points on.

Makar has 12 EV points this season (in 54 games) on goals that MacKinnon or Rantanen didn't get points on.

That was part of the basis of my snarky comment lol

According to this season, Shore goal celebration should be a waive

Kind of did.

Point is it isn’t just because he plays with superstars that he is getting points. It’s not like Ceci is stacking points.

Sure Makar is amazing (I think he’s the best D in the league) but he also plays with studs. Why is Nurse only getting points because of his teammates but not makar?

Nurse obviously isn’t close to Makar offensively but give him some credit.

Ok fine he hasn’t been all that bad…

I truly believed that was going to be the Oilers first shutout this year. Stupid gut feeling tricked by fanaticism again.

That's fair and reasonable. I thought when you talked about a true swing you meant there was a proper definition of swing.

I don't think Vegas has to fall apart for the best case scenario to play out. I definitely think the best case is Oilers finishing second in the division and Vegas finishing third. Vegas doesn't have to fall apart for that to happen.

The Oilers almost certainly will have the tie breaker with Vegas so the Oilers just have to make up six points. Win the two Vegas games and the Oilers only need to make up two points on them. The Oilers do have an easier schedule remaining.

The Oilers went 10-2-1 in their final 13 games last season so take that as a best case. Vegas going 7-3-1 in their remaining games against non-Oiler opponents would be far from falling apart.

The best case I was referring to was Edmonton 2nd, Seattle 3rd and Vegas 4th. Even if we pass Vegas, Seattle doing it too would be nuts.

I'm curious what he "figured out" because he just looks like a different player who doesn't hesitate about what he needs to do or lacks confidence in what he can do. It's just a wonder.

Looking at the tools, I always wondered if this kind of player was in Foegele, I'm glad he's showing us it seems to be.

He reminds me of Jeff Friesen, not great hands, but all that size and speed just makes him so hard to deal with.

I think he just figured out how to succeed in the bottom six long enough to earn a spot in the top six.

When we traded for Foegele, Carolina fans over on the Canes board mused that Carolina management didn't like Foegele's "Big D Energy" and swagger. I took that to mean that he felt he was worthy of top line minutes but slid down the lineup instead. It might simply be a guy who felt like he was a scoring winger finally realizing what it takes to be a very good bottom sixer, and then making the most of his top six opportunity when he got it again.

Calling something weak a p***y is kind of out of date in my opinion. I mean if you ask me they are actually very strong. Pushing out a baby. I mean we almost die pushing out abtiby kidney stone. Now testicles, those are weak. One flick and down to the ground you go. So really hould be saying man that guy really plays like a testicle.

Hahaha, this is amazing. 10/10.
