You don't usually start them because most of you know that starting a pro Oilers thread is like leading with your jaw in a WBA fight. You just jump into threads started by others with both feet and a cockiness perhaps only rivalled by Leafs fans.
why does it bother you that many Oiler fans think we have a good team? they were 2 goals away from winning it all last year FFS
That was hilarious. Apparently Draisaitl forgot how to skate over the summer. Either that or he was hoping there was a Jet right behind him and he was diving for a tripping call... LOL
No it hasn't. Besides Florida this year it's happened twice in the past 40 years.
Who would that be on Florida? 'Cause they actually did it.
One interesting thing to follow is Emberson. The Oilers somehow have that guy in their middle pair so they have a lot of eggs in that basket. They need Emberson to be passable. So far... he looks very sketchy with the puck and a bit lost in his zone. If he flops, Edmonton will be over the barrel trying to replace him with very few options available and very few assets to pursue those meager options.
That's literally what I said.
I'm not sold on the Oilers with that defense and goaltending. Great forward group though.
Oh sorry lol. It's sometimes tricky to decipher tone through text.
No problem. After rereading my response to you I can see how it could be misinterpreted. Poor wording on my part.
