November Predictions

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

I predict apathy will set in by the time the month is over.

Also we're still under .500 by a few games.

 

[Faelko]

6-6..

 

[McPuritania]

4 games at home, 9 on the road. Schedule just doesn't get any easier.

 

[TennisBalls]

Flyers @ Oilers Win
Penguins @ Oilers Win
Oilers @ Blackhawks Loss
Oilers @ Ducks Loss
Oilers @ Coyotes Win
Oilers @ Kings Win
Blackhawks @ Oilers Win
Devils @ Oilers Win
Oilers @ Capitals Loss
Oilers @ Hurricanes Win
Oilers @ Penguins Loss
Oilers @ Maple Leafs Win

8-4

 

[Seedling]

4-4-4

 

[Beerfish]

8 games vs the east by quick count so we should see if this thought that we should own the east is valid.

 

[ThePhoenixx]

.500

 

[IV XIV XCI]

5-14-6-1

The Oilers will destroy everybody!

 

[Dorian2]

I don't do this prediction type of stuff. But apparently the Hawks aren't looking all that hot right now. Just some extraneous info.

6-4-2

The Oilers play 13 games in November. I looked at their records vs all their upcoming November opponents over the past 5 years and if they play at those same levels they should have a record of right around:

4-7-2 ...10 pts in 13 games

I'll project something like this:

Flyers @ Oilers OTL
Penguins @ Oilers L
Oilers @ Blackhawks W
Oilers @ Ducks L
Oilers @ Coyotes L
Oilers @ Kings L
Blackhawks @ Oilers W
Devils @ Oilers W
Oilers @ Capitals OTL
Oilers @ Hurricanes W
Oilers @ Red Wings L
Oilers @ Penguins L
Oilers @ Maple Leafs L

Looking at their past record they should be outscored by a 46-31 margin over those games.

That projection is likely optimistic though as 9 of those upcoming 13 games are on the road which makes 10 pts look like a fairly tall order over that stretch.

[Mc5RingsAndABeer]

5-6-2

 

[Soundwave]

We need to make some hay this November.

PP needs to get better, hopefully Eberle, Hendricks, and Schultz are all back fairly quick at this rate.

 

[Not Robin Brownlee]

Connor McDavid.

 

[Up the Irons]

5-6-1. maybe 6-5-1.

it all goes back to goaltending.

 

[Shredator]

5-5-2

 

[Blue Bullet]

My review of the October results and my predictions for November can be found in my latest post at the Blue Bullet Report.

Prediction of 5-6-2, which would be a respectable result for this team.

 

[Blue Bullet]

What do you think our November will look like

Flyers @ Oilers
Penguins @ Oilers
Oilers @ Blackhawks
Oilers @ Ducks
Oilers @ Coyotes
Oilers @ Kings
Blackhawks @ Oilers
Devils @ Oilers
Oilers @ Capitals
Oilers @ Hurricanes
Oilers @ Penguins
Oilers @ Maple Leafs

You missed the Red Wings game on the 27th.

 

[Mc5RingsAndABeer]

You missed the Red Wings game on the 27th.

We are such sheep

Adjusting my prediction from 5-5-2 to 5-6-2

 

[ManofSteel55]

This could be the most important stretch of the season. Lots of winnable games coming up, this is where the "our record sucks but we were playing mostly great teams" argument could be either proven right or wrong. If we don't start winning right now, we won't this season.

Flyers @ Oilers Win
Penguins @ Oilers Win
Oilers @ Blackhawks Loss
Oilers @ Ducks Win
Oilers @ Coyotes Loss
Oilers @ Kings Loss
Blackhawks @ Oilers Win
Devils @ Oilers Loss
Oilers @ Capitals Loss
Oilers @ Hurricanes Win
Oilers @ Red Wings Win
Oilers @ Penguins Win
Oilers @ Maple Leafs Win

So I have it at 8 - 5. Could be better...or much worse.
