LMAO holy shit the oilers can't hit an empty net

 

[Spilot23]

Oilers are a one line team. That isn’t sustainable

I think their hot start is a mirage

That's what they said about the Avs last year. I believe that Oilers can sustain it for the love of Mcdavid.

LMAO holy **** the oilers can't hit an empty net

Tobias Reider?

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Oilers are on pace towin 73 games this year.

 

[McRpro]

7-1

Meh you can switch it back. Jets have no chance.

 

[Rubi]

Detroit announcers making a point to say that Edmonton has only faced one playoff team so far in their hot start

He's not wrong. Every team they've faced so far this season, with the exception of the Islanders, was a lottery team last year.
The Oilers have had a very soft schedule so far.

Won today without them.

It's funny hearing this after every game. Those 2 will probably get their 100+. McDavid is still looking "off"

ARe there no trades allowed all year to get help in the bottom 6?

This is all we hear. Look at CGY. Faced COL and Vegas as "Hard teams:. Edm just the NYI. Oh WOWWW the Flames have played ONE more "hard" team.

Edmonton loses a bunch of these. "HA HA THEY SUCK"

They win (They shoul dif they are a better team this year) - "AW MAN THEIR SCHEDULE IS SOOO EASY"

Vancouver is not playing that bad. LA torched Vegas. League is much more closer these days.

 

[GodPucker]

Think James Neal has more goals than anybody has points on Calgary as well who would have guessed that right now lol.

 

[Beerfish]

Well these are wins in the bank for the Oilers and you could lump them into the same category of the soft teams they are playing. They deserve credit for winning important winnable games.

As an Oiler fan I do agree that if the bottom six does not contribute this is totally not sustainable.

By far the biggest difference so far with this team is goaltending. Their defense is not as awful as it has been made out to be over the last two years, the goalies are just not letting in 2 or more el stinko goals per game and when they did this year (wandering mike smith) the offense just scored more.

Bottom six still looks poor.

Media before the season. The Oilers are crap. Will be nowhere near the playoffs...Oilers start 7-1. Can’t take the start seriously because the schedule was really easy.

Felt the same about 2016-2027. Toronto Sports Network Media said it’s a mirage they made the playoffs and won’t win a round. Beat the Sharks and went to game 7 in round two with some iffy reffing.

As for tonight. This says it all

Detroit Red Wings @ Edmonton Oilers, 2019-10-18

ho hum defensive game.

Can only play the teams put in front of them. They don’t control the schedule.

7-1.

 

[aufheben]

What do you guys think about Florida? A very pedestrian start even after signing Bob to that huge contract and bringing in Q to coach.

Every season I ask myself "Why aren't the Panthers good?"

I still don't know.

In which of Vegas' first 2 seasons did this happen because it wasn't this one. They've played once and Vegas won 5-2.

 

[Hustlr]

How effective is advertising a bloody yacht...?

 

[Winter Child]

Which line?

The one that has 2 of the top 3 points leaders in the NHL?

Or the one with the leading goal scorer in the NHL?

its called a hot streak - or is Neal going to finish with 100+ goals

 

[kducks]

Way to actually watch the game.

Edit: I was replying to Mez but his quote about Gibson didn't show up.

 

[Oilers Propagandist]

Yes

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Tobias Reider?

I know that you are joking but,..in the case you are not, Rieder has almost 60 career goals in the NHL.
