Huge win, and it was nice to see Remenda finally admit to being a moron and Gene throw it right back at him
If we can get at least 3 points out of this road trip coming up we'll be looking very good.
The Horse Faced Pony Soldier for the Win!!!TBH, I needed this win.
Andrew Yang dropping out of the Democratic Primaries was like a punch to the gut.
God damn, people sure are stupid.
1st line played like a real first line. Cave quietly had an almost perfect game and just played safe solid hockey. Kass looked engaged and Sheehan n Archie are looking to be great pickups this year.
Not impressed by Drai and nuge on the pk. We are going to need them as this stretch gets tougher. Mike smith was good but he doesn’t give me that confident feeling but I’m learning to adjust to his more erratic style.
Overall kinda what we need to pull off some wins. One good line, support from any of the three other lines, and somewhat solid d and goaltending.
Tippet doing the same misstake once again, playing his stars uneccesary much, lke uneccesary on the PK.
Save at least Draisaitl from that.
And the question about Draisaitl is, who can stop him from winning Art Ross? The only two I can think of is MacKinnon and Panarin.
^What guys think in here?
Draisatis pace can also motivate McDavid to enter god mode to surpass him.

I have to say it's nice that our former gm and player cares about our team and the game enough to attend in his own free time. Can't imagine that too many other former Oiler execs would do the same.
Pasta is slowing down, as always seems to happen with him. I think Drai will even catch him in goals (but not OV) Panarin and the Rangers are coming down to earth. They're not padding stats as much. I think I've seen Mackinnon slow down in seasons before. In anycase Drai is 11pts ahead of the nearest competitor. Seems like its his to lose. A guy could get redhot for two weeks just to challenge Drais total if Leon was standing still.
Drai superheated last season towards the end and looks like he's been on fire since Xmas. His splits are way higher than anybody else in 2020. Nobody even close.
Really does bleed Oil. Love it.I have to say it's nice that our former gm and player cares about our team and the game enough to attend in his own free time. Can't imagine that too many other former Oiler execs would do the same.
Wow, those numbers are actually pretty impressive.I'm hoping this is "Good Under Pressure" Mike Smith that we are starting to see... and that carries right into the playoffs.
Career stats for Smith...
Oct 90.7%
Nov 91.5%
Dec 90.1%
Jan 90.6%
Feb 92.0%
Mar 91.5%
Apr 92.9%
Playoffs 93.8%
I hope the trend of Smith getting stronger as games get more important continues.
McDavid = Captain America
Drai = Winter Soldier
Was listening to the game on ched while driving. For the last half of the 3rd I was driving big rig over Crowsnest Pass in freezing rain, that turned into white out snow fall being blown around by gusts of wind blowing up to and over 120km/h, all while listening to the game where for a while it sounded like the Oilers were hanging on for dear life to a 1 goal lead.
My heart felt like it was going to explode while desperately trying to keep the truck from getting blown off the highway. It's almost 8am and I'm still half shaking from the stress of it all last night
It seems like half your posts are about your crazy adventures on the road while listening to Oilers games, lol.
He’s gone into a deep depression since Freddie Anderson got hurt.Haven't seen much of that Soundwave fella for a while. Does that coincide with the team winning?
It’s not just the Oilers they know nothing about or even the rest of the Canadian teams. They can’t even get much right about the team they follow religiously. The hockey media in this country is terrible across the board. I honestly wonder if they even watch the games and that includes the ones they’re at. My guess is more time is spent on social media than looking at the subject they report on. Much easier parroting the popular opinion over and over instead of looking into what’s actually going on. Sign of the times, I guess.I listened to a podcast of Toronto based hockey media the other day and they said the Oilers were a “one man team with the same lineup as last year”. SMH.
Shows you how little they know about the Oilers, which is literally nothing and on par with what I’d expect from Toronto based media who does nothing but pander to Leaf fans.
