Is this the closet Connor McDavid gonna get to a Stanley Cup?

We’ll see what the oil do this offseason, but honestly, if feels like they’ve finally figured some things out after years and years of wasting McDavid and Drai. Do they build or regress back to the old norms? I think they’ll hang around.

Almost immediately HF posters:

They will be much worse next year

Yeah, f***ing annoying having that quoted non-stop about your team, hu?

the stars aligned for Vegas last year getting to play a banged-up cinderella Panthers team in the Finals...and avoiding the Avs who lost in the first round
you need some "luck" in the playoffs

So you agree that the Oilers benefited from "luck"?

Draisaitl was extremely hurt in the playoffs when he got injured in Game 1 of the Vancouver series...yet they still almost won it all
if he was 75%, the Oilers win the Cup

Ah, there we go.

If Vancouver wasn't relying on their 3rd tier goalie...

Why didn’t the Canucks start their 2nd string goalie if he was better?

Oilers outshot the Nucks in 5 of 7 games...blame Petey and Hughes for not showing up in the series and not the absence of Demko
(and yes, every team needs luck to go far, including the Oilers)

EDM needs to clean up their cap situation. NOt sure how they do that.

With all the buyouts happening and apparently happening, haven’t heard much from the Oilers about buying out Jack Campbell yet? (Of course ) He would be the logical one to go!

 

[Hank Plank]

still mad that McDavid is better then Tkachuk and Barkov put together?

No one is mad about that.
