Aren't the oilers supposed to be cup favourites?

two smart trades and yes.

FTR.. it's not Oiler fans constantly posting we are cup favourites. It's media and betting sites that call us that. Most the fans feel a few changes are needed.

So we get killed in a game and people come on telling us we aren't winning a Cup when we never said we were.lol

Aren't the oilers supposed to be cup favourites?

Not with this goaltending or defense.

It's just media hype ... the team has a lot from last season.

The East is brutal, would hate to be a fan of an eastern team.

Best Lottery race in awhile... should be an amazing finish. Playoffs will be BRUTAL in the East. Good luck to all of them.

Caps are just toying with the oilers. An entire shift spent feeding #8.
Oilers leaders should be embarrassed.

John Gibson's price just went up. Anyone who still defends this team's goaltending, the Klingberg acquisition, and thinks passengers like Henrique, Kapanen, and Brown aren't expendable, simply does not want this team to win.

Competent goaltending performances requires Competent defense.
Pickard hasn't been great but you just don't allow Ovechkin a dozen point blank shots.

Well, I was talking about over the season, not one specific game...but even today it's impossible to defend Pickard as a reliable option in net come playoff time.

TNT PBP guys talking about J Skinner on EDM has the record for most games played and never getting to play in the PlayOffs with over 1000+ regular games played.

They show the top 5 guys on that list and casually tosses in the rest are Buffalo Sabre players...

Michaels really leans into his delusional cheer leader role whenever possible doesn't he.

GOATvechkin hatty

 

[Three On Zero]

Ovech-trick!

 

[pezpunk]

They let that one in to bait EDM into pulling the goalie so Ovi can get the hattie.

Called it

Worst announcer in the league.

 

[Neil Racki]

GOAT right down the throat

 

[Johnny HFBOARDS]

EDM will EDM, slick.

 

[Hank Plank]

Incredible!

 

[MessierThanThou]

Skinner stepping up and scoring a nice one after one of the worst breakaways I've ever seen! Nice goal and edgework. 4 more!

Is Skinner trying to get healthy-scratched?!

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Silly charity goal from Edmonton.

 

[PaulD]

Oilers were ass all game still pull the goalie down by 3. Puck goes right to Ovechkin.... bang hat trick. lol.

 

[Johnny HFBOARDS]

When OV breaks the record Russia says he gets to upgrade his wife with a new younger model.

Is Skinner trying to get healthy-scratched?!

He's welcome to waive that NMC... I've seen enough personally.

 

[MessierThanThou]

McDavid really should've sat out yesterday.

Something tells me even this game won't be enough to wake up Oiler management.

 

[Czechboy]

Happy for Ovi! Congrats. Happy for the Caps.

Honestly, I hope we lose the next few as well.. in similar fashion. We need 2 trades and not for forwards! And not finding guys not currently in the NHL either. No reclamation projects! Find an NHL Dman for 2RD and a goalie to join Stu. Pro scouts and Bowman.. it's on you.

 

[Neil Racki]

Caps with the regular season sweep of the Oilers

+5 goal

On to Calgary

 

[SJSharksfan39]

I guess the break didn't impact Ovie that much. He came back stronger and faster. At this pace it will be like next week or the week after he breaks it.

 

[MCR74]

The OIlers will have to tighten up their D before the cup final.

 

[TheLegend]

The Utah market choice is bland as its own name.

I mean, Utah 16.

That doesn't even equate to a player on the team it's so bland.

Are Utalking to me?

Blame Scripps... they also use Arizona61 (or AntennaTV) in the Phoenix area which are primarily old sitcom channels.

I volunteer as tribute for his hand me downs

 

[Bounces R Way]

Penguins and Rangers both got absolutely destroyed yesterday. JT Bozo goes Geno right off the faceoff?
