OT: Will the Oilers break the Pens' 17-game win streak record?

[The Great Mighty Poo]

Who cares, comeback when those wank pheasants do something of merit in the playoffs.

 

[Al Smith]

The Pens' winning streak was great while it lasted, and it reflected that team's talents, but ultimately it was a no-never-mind as they lost 4/7 to the ****ing Islanders soon thereafter in the playoffs.

So, I couldn't care less if the Oilers win 18 or more in a row.

 

[Captain Hook]

I cared when the Caps threatened the streak because it was the Caps and the rivalry etc. I don't really care about some Western conference team breaking it. Feels like a record that's bound to be broken sooner or later anyway.

The thread is asking you guys what you think will happen.
Whether you care or not is irrelevant.

Welcome to the internet

I don't much care for it!

 

[HandshakeLine]

How much of the Oilers streak is due to the coaching change? How much is it due to McDavid and Draisatl getting their act together? How much is it due to them getting goaltending that doesn't resemble week-old roadkill?

I doubt anyone can definitively determine the answers to those questions.

I also don't think anyone knows how good or bad of coaches Jay Woodcroft or Kris Knoblauch are because of Edmonton's unique roster composition.

I bet Vegas beats them to stop them just short.

Sounding pretty defensive there DP.

 

[Le Magnifique 66]

f*** the Oilers, don't choke at home Vegas!!! End this streak

 

[Lara Emily]

Vegas did something nice for a change

Vegas did something nice for a change

Indeed, the Pens other big W tonight. The Oilers choked like the dogs we should have expected them to be, Lemieux and the Pens all-time record win streak remains preserved!

I didn't want to comment before but I'm glad the streak stands.

As a kid in '93 more into my Guinness Book of Records than pro sports, the idea of challenging the all time wins streak is what drew me in (#66's overlapping comeback didn't hurt either).

That was on the heels of winning B2B cups, still, pretty nice accomplishment. That was a great team. Tough loss to the Isles to be sure.

Sorry Oilers. lol

That is completely insane.

 

[The Great Mighty Poo]

That is completely insane.

Any stat, fact, story or highlight of Mario is completely f***ing insane, my one regret was I never got to see him live, anytime he came here to DC was either kicking cancer's ass, hurt, sat out to rest or retired.

Do yourself a favor and look at Mario’s game logs sometime on hockey reference. I think 88-89 he never goes more than 2 weeks between hat tricks.

The thing I remember most about Lemieux is not the games where he utterly dominated… it was the games where it looked like he never really got it going, wasn’t handling the puck well, and then you’d look at the box score and see he had a casual two assists. It’s hard to articulate how good he was.

 

[Pens1566]

That is completely insane.

His '93 performance is the most impressive single season in history.

I'll die on that hill.

 

[Lara Emily]

That is completely insane.

3 points per game on the nose

I feel lucky being from Canada that I actually got to see a game with Lemieux, Jagr and Francis... Each had two points that night

The fact he returned the day of his last treatment was nuts, the fact he came back, won back his scoring title by 12 points and helped the team set the wins record is even more unreal, he isn't human.

He went for 1g1a in that comeback game too.

Being on the west coast growing up, i finally got to my first ever NHL game on this date. Just look at the f***ing who's who of legendary players i got to see score. FML, going to be chasing that high forever.
