Oh no, afternoon games.

 

[Satire]

I put in 13. Anything under 12 should be considered a bit of failure in my books for this time of the year.

 

[Took a pill in Sbisa]

I vote 0 points - we suck right?

Btw this may or may not be sarcasm. I’m not sure at this point. Let’s see how the hockey gods roll! Hehe. I think it could be the bourbon talking but perhaps we’re going to stay on our roll. All I know is Calagary sucks!

Oilers have a legit shot at 10 wins there.

Only team ahead of them in pts% currently on that list of 10 is the Rangers... and they are an up and down team this season as well. Looking at the goals differential stats and other recent team stats (defensive and offensive)... Oilers are clearly trending up so yes, I'm not even facetiously saying that they could come away from this with 10 wins.

 

[BertMcDrai]

Somewhere between 11 and 15...so I voted 13.
More than 15 or 16 is not possible cause of the auto loss against Colorado and an afternoon game.

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

6-3-1.

With this schedule I’d almost consider that toilet seat down.

 

[Faelko]

Seem to split with Detroit quite a bit.
Philly works hard under Torts, if the Oilers put in the effort, they’ll win those.
Pitts in Pitts is a tough game
Colorado is likely an auto-loss
NYR is no easy game.

I went with 12 points. 5-3-2

 

[Porkleaker]

I'll go with an optimistic 15 pts.

 

[Exile of Atlantis]

Questionable readiness for afternoon games. Inconsistent effort on home ice. A B2B. @Colorado.

6-3-1 at best

 

[Beerfish]

12 points

 

[Reasonable Oil Fan]

18
To me, the level of competition should allow this.
I think anything under 16 would be a disappointment actually
Here's where we pull away, hopefully things continue to ramp and this isn't a peak

 

[The Cheez]

I wish there was a game today

 

[McSuper]

I vote 16 as the Oilers continues on their annual second 1/2 surge.

7 more sleeps till Oilers hockey.

Lose to Columbus, paste Chicago. Thank God I'm not a gambler because the Oilers would be costing me a lot money.

I'm going to say 4-6. There are games they *should* win but won't (Detroit, Ottawa, Philly).

Change my mind, Oilers.

This week sucks.

Not even any 7/8pm games in other markets to watch either.

Oilers are actually very easy to bet on. Made a killing this year hammering the over on total goals. They've only been under 6.5 total goals 16 times this year.

Not yet. Once bitten twice shy though.

In that regard, I could see it but taking them to win outright is a guessing game. More Jekyl, less Hyde.

Concerned about the Montreal game, afternoon game, 2nd of a back to back and the 4th game in 6 nights all on the road.

 

[Delicious Pancakes]

They better bank some wins. The next 10 game segment is against teams with an average P% of .661.

 

[Chet Manley]

List of opponents says ~16 points... # of afternoon games says ~13 points.
