It’s funny, because a bunch of them played for the oilers and the kings.

 

[psycat]

Well not really apples to apples since some players goes further and face tougher competition. Very impressive regardles of course.

Pretty incredible stats by the Oilers two best players.

By a bunch, you mean two?

 

[KrisLetAngry]

Scoring definitely has gone up. Nice to see them going up the ranks.

Uh, four of them played for the oilers?

Also, do you always try to correct jokes where the idiocy/simple take of the comment is the joke? You must be a gas at parties.

Draisaitl would be a nice replacement for Kopitar right?


Crosby had 63 after 49 games.. and 2 cup final appearances including a cup in his 4th season.

People keep saying this but they certainly didn't seem to be much affected last season when they faced the eventual cup winners in the 2nd round... McDavid with 10 points in 6 games, Drai with 7 points, including 6 goals. That's pretty much as "tough" as competition can get and they still delivered offensively.

Craig Conroy should use the Edmonton model for his rebuild, just draft the greatest players of all time.

Or against the Avs in 2022 McDavid had 7 points in 4 games, and Draisaitl 6 in 4 games.

And people made an immediate revision on the 2022 Flames but they were a great team. They were 6th in GF and 3rd in GA in the regular season.

McDavid had 12 points in 5 games and Draisaitl had 17 points (!) in 5 games (NHL record).

These two are historically good players in the postseason.

It’s weird how the narrative changed about the flames as soon as the oilers dismantled them, went from potential cup contender to being garbage

And also, the Kings are a very good defensive team. But I don't think the trap they employ works too well against the Oilers rush.

Yes, the Oilers have traditionally benefitted greatly from playing in very weak divisions.

Just kidding - well, mostly kidding. Incredible feat for Leon and Connor.

This reminded me of Burkies take on the Pittsburgh model

The points totals of the Oilers opponents going back to 2016-17 are:

99, 105, 84 pace (lol), 92 pace, 99, 111, 119, 104, 111, and 99.

Mostly strong opponents.

I think a stand up fan would understand that it doesn't work at all in text form. Especially Norms style which relies heavily on timing and tone.
