Don't look now, Edmonton is 3rd last

[Orfieus]

Technically in a 3 way tie for 3rd last but Edmonton does have a pedigree at getting that high pick. Is the first right step in getting this franchise in order getting another top5 pick? Feels like Edmonton is just spinning their tires at this point

As much as the Oilers situation has been somewhat of schadenfreude for me, They're still only 6 points out, they're really not in that bad of a place, despite being 3rd from last (with a game in hand)

I think that says more about how bad the western conference is than how good Edmonton is haha

 

[Pizza!Pizza!]

The Western Conf is bananas right now. Only sure things are Winnipeg, Nashville, SJ and Calgary with the Blues/Vegas being very likely to make postseason.

I hate the Blackhawks (who doesn't) but I hope they make the Wild Card if it means more 8-7 games. I miss the 80's.

I'm sure Sens fans will be thrilled when we take their place.

I agree with you 110%. The west is insane. Edmonton is 1-8-3 in their last 12 games and are still only 6 points out.
Speaks volumes about their level of competition lol

How many bash threads are honestly needed?

There’s like 5 more you could have posted this in.

The Oilers should be relegated, McDavid and all... obviously that's not an option but if there was ever a case for it this organization is it!

I mean, the 8th place seed is only playing .500 hockey. That's not really inspiring haha

Says the opposite. It's harder to make the playoffs in the West, because it's so competitive.

I disagree with that personally but I can see why the argument is made.

 

[The Macho King]

Can't wait to see what talented player they ruin next.

 

[SlickShot]

yea, they still won't make it. Arizona has a better chance of making it.

 

[hyduK]

Too bad NHL doesn't have relegation.

Don't need to look

As in who is the tallest midget competitive?

You sure you don't mean Colorado?

 

[Whaleafs]

Just picture McDavid & Katz’ ginger afro son on stage at the draft welcoming Edmonton’s new first overall pick.

 

[WarriorOfGandhi]

yeah but once Hemsky, Schremp, Cogliano, Gagner, Gilbert, and Brule hit their primes...watch out NHL

I did look, the dwarf in the red raincoat at the end was great

"Only" 6 points out? Edmonton has a less than 2% chance of making it per Sports Club Stats. They're done.

There are more sub .500 teams in the Pacific than the rest of the NHL combined.

Actually, 8th place Minnesota has lost 6 more games than than have won, so they are well under .500. It's the fallacy of the loser point.
