undefeated with me in Edmonton. Just saying folks

Get this man season tix…I’ll start the go fund me

Jeebus. Oiler's win their 16 in a row, and Sportsnet is only talking about the Leafs. Typical.

Hey they showed some grit against the Jets. That's a big deal.

 

[29Beast97Mode]

That is crazy.

But then boston lost in the 1st round lol

I’m not getting the comments about this being a bad game from the Oilers. It looked to me like their best in about 8 games. They shut the Preds down today after they scored a first period goal. This was as close to a perfect game as possible. The only disappointment today was allowing the late goal to cost Skinner his shut out. I’ll take what we saw today every time.

Agreed, though Nashville generated a ton of chances. We bent but didn't break, Stu made some big stops and we got some key defensive plays

 

[Coffey]

Guys this streak is not legit because we haven’t played a legit contender. We have to literally play the 2002 Wings.

 

[Drivesaitl]

At least they had 1 good period that game, they had 0 today.

The Oilers were playing a tougher opponent tonight. preds needed a win and were laying it all on the line for 3 periods. This was their premium effort.

 

[foshizzle]

Was noticeably bad. Thought Janmark was as well.

This is how Janmark plays every game. Other than PK- he doesn't really do much.

Here come the likes boys!

Not from me cause of an Oilers “fan” tattle tale on the mains.

Preds are a decent team. They played hard today

Since January 1st, Skinner is: 9-0-0, 0.953 SV%.

That's not too shabby.

Should get player of the month, but Samsonov will probably get it because he almost cried.

People still think facing a backup goalie is a good thing for the Oilers?

 

[McTonyBrar]

Skinner has worked himself from a .870 save percentage to a .910 save percentage. Amazing

Oh it’s my favorite source of humor. Already making excuses if we beat the Knights lol

Flames fans still can’t believe we lucked our way to destroying them in the BoA, consistantly being a Cup favorite, and now 16 wins in a row.

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Sweet 16 is special. Oilers win this on special teams play with 2 critical PP goals and another perfect PK game. Skinner Winner again with many big saves and a couple fortuitous goal posts. Edmonton own zone structure was a big solid factor. Felt the Oilers were outworked at EV in this game and that began in the face-off dot where Predators top two centres dominated (O'Reilly 75% Draisaitl 20% which may be his worst ever).

Good time for a break and reset to come back and chase down history against an arch rival.

 

[FlameChampion]

16 straight wins!!! Not the best game by Oilers but Nashville is a decent team. Leon and McD were great tonight and Perry had a really good debut. His line with Holloway and McLeod is creating some chemistry.

I did not like Ceci's game tonight

Why on Ceci? The guy made like 5+ key clears and just muscled guys off the puck.

 

[Cloned]

This one was the Skinner win. Goalie steals it. With some help from the goalposts and Nashville missing on empty nets. What a game all round.

All 3 games with the Preds they have played us hard.

I don't mind seeing a playoff series like this.

If Preds play like this every night they are making playoffs.

Trouble for Preds is they would be gutted at another result like this.

The Preds have been as good against us this season any team has been.

This isn’t your dad’s Preds team. Brunette has installed a high offense, heavy forecheck system. They play more like your granddad’s Preds team under Trotz when they would clown the Oilers.

Man- I just went over there and it's a huge circle jerk of made-up facts, and their own belief system. Apparently, Oilers are at a 40% PP this streak, McDavid gets PPs at will, the league allows goals that should be called back (like, what?).

 

[McDeepika]

Feel like the Jackets, Hawks and Preds all played really hard these last 3 games. I don't expect the Oilers to match that intensity as they try to pace themselves.

Gonna disagree on this one. Preds worked us for open pucks and worked harder. 2 empty net misses, one from Forsberg who is gimme, and 3 goal posts. Preds also shot wide on a breakaway. They had lots going on, we were looser in own zone tonight.

Gonna be a lot of time to shore that up. But we were getting worked in own zone.

Difference tonight was Oilers having superstar finish and Preds having none. But if the Oilers play well enough to limit chances they're going to win that battle on a lot of nights. Oilers had a lot of looks as well. Shot count lower tonight but both teams had ample serious scoring chances.

They are Hypocrite assholes. Would they say the same thing if their team had 16 wins in a row against the same teams?

 

[Cloned]

That is crazy.

Definitely gonna follow this Twitter account.

 

[Spawn]

I tuned into the 3rd period and it was 8-4 Preds and the Oilers had taken 58min worth of minor penalties.

Then I woke up from that covid induced fever dream and the team was up 3-0.

Nice.

Keep it going
