Why would you want to separate them?

When they are together they absolutely roll the other team almost every shift.

McD was also kinda slumping without Drai.

We are also getting secondary scoring now.

Knobby is doing a good job right now of putting them together and splitting them up periodically

The best team in the NHL for months. Don't change a thing

If Arvi is healthy I don’t mind the podkolzin arvi RNH line.

No quite, still 2 points behind. If we can go on a 10 game winning streak, we should be able to catch them.:D

“A wild card team at best.” So dumb.

lets not act like many fans didnt say stuff along those lines in october and in to november.

We haven't lost 3 in a row since then, and even then 3 in a row isn't the end of the world, yet some people think the first games of the year mean more than the other 42 that have been played since then.

This is by the best team we've had since the the dynasty days. The player have buy in and dont quit. Last night for example people were so quick to rip the team for the first period and forgot the nasty road trip the team as been on and it being 3 games in 4 nights and being the 2nd game of a back to back in altitude. Still came back and kicked ass. Colorado was the team who looked like they played 8 games in 14 nights, during a 9 game road trip in 7 time zones and on the 2nd night of a back to back game. Colorado gets so much praise from around the league and from fans that is quite frankly unearned, they are currently a 1 line team in a wild card spot. they are literally the team we were 5 years ago but without the benefit of being young. Thier are stars are firmly vets not some up and comers.

They have a game in hand. With the way they're going, very likely to win it.

but they haven't, you can't give teams points because they might win, we are currently tied. Vegas hasnt been that great lately, i mean we got up to them in two weeks despite them having a 6+ point lead at times. 6-4-0 in their last 10, they look poisded for their mid season slump.
 
Went to see Sum 41 on their final tour last night, checked the score before they got on and it was 3-0.

I got hammered, the concert was unbelievably good, walking out i see we won 4-3.

Being a bit beligerent and feeling the concert high, I got a let's go Oilers chant rocking in the Saddledome men's bathroom and carried it out into the concourse. Great night. Flames fans are spineless

When the Oilers were down 3-0, I still believed. I was mad at Skinner for his crappy first period.. but I also felt that he would rebound and be strong the rest of the game... which he was. Just cannot count out this team or turn off the TV right now.. even when they have a horrible first period.

I didn't even bother with the GDT after the 3-0 lead, i just figured i'd leave it for doomers, i stayed in the mains GDT, which is surprisingly more mature then HFOil at times, especially lately.

I had faith in a come back too, because the Avs looked like shit last night and we spotted them the goals, they didn't "earn" them. Although last night they have every reason to be tired and lose, but they pulled through.

I’m not acting like lots of fans didn’t say stuff like that. That doesn’t make it any less ridiculous.

We are doing fantastic, hopefully we can blow by them and catch Winnipeg after that.

Still looks better than MacKinnon lol.
People yap about McDavid 'whining' and yet there went MacKinnon whining to the refs when he rightfully got a penalty for hooking.

Mackinnon usually looks like he’s literally going to cry a minimum of once per game.

This is a good team boys. I think there are a lot of yow who don't realize how good.

It still pisses me off that Skinner needs to play poor before he decides to get his head in the game. its becoming a "thing". He's lucky he plays for a team like the Oilers.

We absolutely have to step on Vegas' throat, must continue to play well. We're always a better 2nd half team whereas Vegas isn't. Winning the division is a must. The conference and the league would be ok too I guess lol

Like, people will say it's all McDrai, but the depth scoring, the PK, the relentless work on the forecheck and defensively.

Totally team win, truly splendid effort from all hands on deck.

This is the deepest team we've seen in the McDrai era and maybe since the 80s tbh. A little thin on defensive depth but the top 5 is really strong.

LMAOOOOOOOOOO, what a f***ing soft loser this guy is. Oh, he's a canucks reporter. No wonder. He's used to seeing soft players like Pettersson. What a f***ing goof!

If a little shove like that is enough to concuss Drouin he should honestly just retire. That's a nothing hit.
