Am I the only one who hasn’t missed watching Oiler games since they’ve been on their break?
This could just be the most liked post remaining this season. haha. You hit a common feeling with this one.
What to make of the games upcoming? Who knows.
People make a lot about Philly winning 6 in a row but even with that they are tied in pts with us, they are out of the playoffs, and they know they have players like Simmonds that are likely to be TDL deals. Sometimes a team will kind of band together one last time before they part and I suspect that's a large part of whats going on in Philly. The wheels will fall off of that train before long. Anytime really.
But with the Oilers its the same thing. How many players really got on board. How many believe that the team has "all it needs to be successful" (lmao) I even wonder if Connor saying anybody that doesn't believe in this lineups chances of success getting out is kind of disruptive. Because it would probably be pretty normal to have doubts about this lineup. Part of the team is likely not as invested as Connor McD or Draisaitl.
So Saturday is basically a contest of which team can fool itself longer and which team accepts reality quicker.
That said it would be very Oilers like to string a few wins together after being well rested and then sink back again.
heh, this isn't a prediction, its a horrorscope..
