The Edmonton Oilers look.. good

[Scrantonicity 2]

The Oilers appear to have turned a corner under Hitchcock and are regaining momentum after a rocky beginning to their season. The identity and style they're playing with after the coaching change is far better suited for the playoff grind too. What does the future hold for them? Playoffs?

Their fate is still tied to McDavid, he goes down for any significant stretch and it could get very ugly.

Can we please not do this?

Nice jinx thread, Scrant.

Well played my south of Red Deer friend

 

[Canadian Finn]

lets revisit after the next 3 games.

they will be a good test.

but they are looking better of late.

They appear to have righted the ship. Playoffs? Sure, why not? They can definitely make it.

 

[GlitchMarner]

Not sold on them as a team.

Weren't they trash on Monday without CMD?


McDavid will get the Hart if they do make the playoffs.

And it's all thanks to Valentin Zykov.

Dubnyk can't stop a beach ball.

That user with the Devil mask may just have been right about Mclellan

 

[Pizza the Hutt]

They've finally done it - and will definitely make the playoffs. Well done Edmonton, it's time to celebrate!

Tell that to all the people that said he was amazing after leaving Edmonton.

I predicted they’d make the playoffs a while ago. Too much talent to miss and McDavid will probably reel in the players ahead of him for another Art Ross. All they needed was more structure in their game. Hitch is exactly the right coach at least for this year. He seems to have a fairly short shelf life though.

When fans of other teams post threads like this the mods should add [OP Not a " " Fan] to the title. Happens all the time on here. Would save a lot of time and arguing. I swear there is one made about the Leafs every other day.

Well for what it's worth, I can assure you the post is genuine.

The Battle of Alberta on Sunday is shaping up to be a good one!

Well I hope we have a clean game on a Sunday. And I’m glad your two superstars Gio and Lomberg are suspended.

It's going to be tough to score with Lomberg out of the lineup. I'm prepared to blame him if we lose.

Oiler fan..."better". They look "better".

And yes, they stunk out the joint in Dallas w/out McDavid, but certainly had all lines rolling tonight.

Hockey is an easy game when you score on 3 of your first 6 shots.

17th in the league, improving but some lines have gotta click and be consistent to keep moving up.

14th when looking at point% though!

1 point from 3rd in division and wildcard.

Playoffs really isn't out of the question.
