[Sweetpotato]

April 18: Oilers win Draft Lottery
April 20: Nicholson appointed CEO
April 24: Chiarelli hired as POHO & GM
May 13: Draisaitl named WHL Playoff MVP
May 15: McDavid named OHL Playoff MVP
May 17: McLellan, Eberle, & Hall win gold
May 19: McLellan hired as head coach
May 30: McDavid wins three major awards
May 31: Draisaitl named Memorial Cup MVP

Add that to McDavid and Nurse being in the tourney allstar team and Hall being on the WHC all star team. This has just been too crazy of a summer, I wish drainsaitl had won though and I was a bit disappointed that RNH and Yak couldn't play in the WHC.

McDavid also won the Scholastic Player of the Year award, Top Prospect award, and CHL Player of the Year award.

Didn't have all day to write down all the awards

Mix in the bag of awards Jory Leggia won too.

 

[Jepprey]

Sucks Leon and the Rockets lost, was really pushing for them, but they just couldn't finish. Appleby was just too strong today. Really good game though. Great chances. Big checks.

Never eating at Applebees again!!! lol.

 

[Asher]

Yeah but they bring up a conference final that happened 20 years ago and missed calls to this day.

Thats all they have to live on.

I'm sure signing Babcash will keep them going for a while.

 

[Sweetpotato]

I forgot Joey lallegia as well lol

 

[McPuritania]

Chelsea Dagger is so overdone as a goal song

I don't mind it at all. It's just very groan worthy when any team other than the Hawks uses it.

Surprised Draisaitl won.

I think he was the best player in the tourny but since Appleby was the main standout on the winner I was sure he'd get it.

I think Appleby deserved the MVP trophy. I think he's the reason why the Generals went 4-0 in the tournament, and the reason they won today. It could have been a blow-out Rockets win if it wasn't for Appleby.

Nothing wrong with Leon's game or his tournament, I just think Appleby deserved it more.

Dr. BUST. gosh. Definitely worse than Strome, probably Nikitinesque. Ugh.

don't worry, McBae didn't win one either. Go get that 3LW spot or 1C, if you so desire

I know you're joking but democracy has spoken!

winning the coaching sweepstakes was their SCF.

I would put money down. That if Strome is not drafted by the leafs and you did the exact same poll. Drai would be the better prospect. Majority of people on this boards are leafs fans which would skew the results in their potential players favor.

Oshawa just likes to beat up on Oilers' prospects.

 

[NewBoysClub97*]

Lol half of these boys are going to be pumping gas at petro Canada. Relax folks.

 

[NewBoysClub97*]

Let them have their fifteen minutes

That's probably not necessary.

 

[AlowlyMcOilersfan]

That's probably not necessary.

And not true either. That seems like an unfair representation of the job market.

I am more opposed to a losing team winning the mvp (only exceptions are Conn Smythe to J.S. Giguere & Ron Hextall) I think Appleby should have actually won it win or loss, because the game is over without him.

 

[thadd]

Really surprised to see Leon win MVP.

Between Leon, Mcdavid and Nurse our youngsters have taken home a lot of hardware.

 

[Lacaar]

Just have to say Draisitl was the best skater on the ice. Apples was great too.

It was a two horse race.

But damn it seemed Kelowna couldn't create a chance without Draisitl being a part of it.

Exciting times.

I think if the poll was started after the playoffs instead of in March it would be closer/opposite of what it is now.

Which isn't necessarily a good thing haha. HFboads is very much a "what have you done for me lately" community.

 

[Hemsky4PM]

Draisaitl was a catalyst for the Rockets all tourney, but was shut down in both games against Oshawa. If he was generating a ton but got no finish from his teammates, fine. I didn't watch the games, but by most accounts he was the best skater in the tournament. I wonder if the votes were cast before OT?

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Mix in the bag of awards Jory Leggia won too.

Weirdest autocorrects ever.

Joey. LaLeggia.

 

[Floyd McJiveson]

Anyone know where i can find video of Leon winning the mvp?

 

[coolwasabi]

Fantastic season for Leon. All things considered, after he was sent down from the Oilers, this is just-about the best outcome we could have all hoped for. He's disappointed right now no doubt, but I'm sure he'll be able to look back at this season with fond memories.

The MVP honours is a nice feather in his cap. Looks like he and Taylor Hall have something in common

 

[KCC]

Gotta feel for Kelowna. They battled hard and you could see at the very end when the Generals scored in OT how crushed they were. Some players lay on the ice for minutes afterward. But when you put it all on the line at least you can say you gave it your all. Nothing to be ashamed about. Ah sports -- You gotta love it.

Drais played amazing and deserved MVP. He's really been able to show his skill and size. Nothing but good news for the Oil moving forward.
