Take it for what it's worth, but the Oilers sit 4th in the league and are above every Eastern Conference team except Washington.

This is a seriously good team.
 
The Edmonton Oilers Are a Useless Franchise

I know this Thomas Drance “article” is from 2013, but just a reminder of the toxicity of the Canucks fanbase, especially when their team is half-decent. Never feel sorry for them.

Imagine being a Canucks fan and saying that about any other franchise lol.
to be fair, the Oilers were THE laughing stock of the league for like 10 years...everyone was piling on

And the McDavid-less Oilers outclassed 1st place Washington, but couldn't put pucks by Thompson who was fumbling rebounds all game. It happens, and I'm not looking to relitigate the Caps game, but comment on how this team can run with anyone in the league.

Wow that was a hard read. Sounds like an angry 15 year old.
 


Nucks fans are funny


I don't know what's in those jerseys, but I would suspect burning them creates some kinds of toxic fumes.
I hope that idiot took some deep f***ing breaths. There are better ways to express your displeasure with "your" team. Even some that still will let people you're insane.

Yeah he’s not wrong about the owner, but even at the time (when the Oilers were mid-DoD and the Canucks were going into the shortened season as the reigning President’s Trophy winners), I thought the arrogance was a bit rich coming from a fan of the Canucks franchise.

I actually enjoy their playoff intro to Where the Streets Have No Name and Bure was exciting but other than that I can’t think of a single interesting or noteworthy thing about them.
 
Honestly Tambo, you just don't understand how goalies work. You should speak with Dustin Schwartz, I suspect you two would be on the same page.
I know Pickard has a higher save % lower GAA and way higher win percentage which makes sense we have a wagon of a team.

Not my fault Skinner is the worst player on this team and it’s not even close.

I know the media who don’t have Leon even ranked in the top five for Hart voting won’t have even watched our game tonight, or any of the games we have played without Connor, which is a shame, as then the silly narrative that he is nothing without Connor would finally end.
averaging over 2 points per game without Connor this year
 
The Oilers are an absolute WAGON. Men vs. boys all night. Amazing when the Oilers aren't playing the Cucks on the last game of a 9 game roadtrip where they travelled more than Magellan.

Reading some Cucks fans comments, it is like they are on a different planet or an alternate reality. Must be all that free meth in Van.

0 Cups and 2 riots. Utterly useless, irrelevant franchise. Petey clearly wants out. Miller wants out. Now Demko wants out as well lol. Tocchet is a shit coach, I said it all last year. He's a "work harder" dinosaur who rode a PDO bender. He's f***ing useless and clearly wants out, too. Literally no one wants anything to do with poverty team, including the fanbase that has already stopped caring.

Enjoy paying that pylon Desi 2 sheets per year. As the team fades back to obscurity their entire fanbase just will lose interest, as they always do. Dumbest and most fairweather fans in the league. Eat shit all Cuck fans, especially Ian Macintyre.

Sitting in front of a few of them last night was an experience. They were full marks for being classic Nuck dumbasses. The cherry on top of a long night of stupidity was one of them saying it was because of the officiating lol.

Great team game from almost everyone, but a few guys stuck out.

- Leon, obviously. Don't need to say anything more.

- Perry had his best game as an Oiler. He ratted it up, but also was making it happen with the puck down low and in front of the net. Unfortunate that he didn't end up with one or two himself.

- Nurse was awesome again, in all facets. Brining a mean streak again, and his reads, for maybe the first time in his life, are pretty much always bang on.

- Pickard was awesome. I still don't think there is any sustainability to his game, but I think it could be worth playing him Saturday and seeing how it goes. Giving Stu some games off after a few bad ones is probably smart.

- Philp was also great. Moves well, tracks the puck well, sees the ice well, and was very effective on the forecheck.

Cheers to the Nuck clowns that are about to exit the wagon if they haven't already.
 
I mean when you put it that way, they should probably just apologize to the league for fluking and giveaway some popoints.
Should give a dozen of our points to Canucks.
They have a legit franchise goalie, solid bottom 6 and a great defense.
 
No love for J.Skinner tonight? He lead our team tonight with a 83.3 CF% and a 94.81 xGF%.

Really liked him with Philp and Kapanen. I think that's your 4th line going forward.

He fits in better on PP than Arvidsson.

RV plays a more traditional left circle role, but that doesn't really fit with how the OIl like to use the LW side. Skinner lets them run their usual 3 LHS rotating through the slot and wings; And to his credit, he did well to understand when to jump in and when to stay wide.


I also think a 6'3, 200+lb Philp is a far better fit at centre for him vs. Henrique.

I didn't realize Washington got that far ahead. I wonder how many media pundits expected them to be where they are now. I wouldn't have.
