Oilers are good at hockey again: Back in the plofs

[Lacaar]

Really one of the nicest things about the streak is it just brings a little more intrigue and entertainment to the regular season games.

Todays game should be a lot of fun I'm hoping. Nashville hasn't faired well against the Oilers lately and with a chance to break this streak. I'm expecting them to really put up a fight today.

And if the Oilers win the Vegas game after will be a hoot as well.

Nasville owned us for SOOOO long. I always had nightmares playing them. Guys like Arvidsson would just light our asses up every time.lol

I think it's actually Drai that has insane success against Nashville...

Leon has 24 goals and 39 points in 25 GP against NSH all time.

16. Crazy.

 

[Coffey]

 

[mkatcherin00]

14 straight games allowing 2 goals or less lol

16 straight with 3 or less

 

[LOFIN]

Congrats on the winning streak! At the same time, as a reminder to everyone, the teams they have beaten on this schedule:

Nashville
Chicago
Columbus
Calgary
Seattle
Toronto
Montreal
Detoilet
Chicago
Ottawa
Philadelphia
Anaheim
Los Angeles
San Jose
New York Rangers
New Jersey

That's a lot of trash and non playoff teams. I think the Oilers are the best team in the league at this moment, but they are also not separated from the pack of other contenders.

What’s your team? Lemme pull up your January schedule

Colorado or New York, take your pick. I'm not saying those teams are better than the Oilers btw.

What about the 24 wins in 27 games. How come the people with low IQ's on this message board ignore that?

Yea good caveat at the end. I wouldn’t want to bring up a MTL loss.

Sure

Chicago
New Jersey
Minnesota
Carolina
Winnipeg
Vegas
Anaheim
Washington

I'll give you Winnipeg, Carolina and Vegas. Vegas was in OT btw.

 

[Mez]

Since Oilers are relegated to one main thread...can we at least update the damn title to show what their win streak is at?

 

[Matty Sundin]

Will the Oilers streak last longer then Undertakers wrestlemania streak?

 

[LOFIN]

Beating the teams you are supposed to beat is good, absolutely. It's a sign of a good team. And I'm not saying this sarcastically.

Thanks Tips. You think anything you said is anything we don't know or anyone hasn't said before?

No matter how you slice it or who your opponents are in the NHL, 16 is f***ing hard.

There is a reason your team's likely never done it and only 2 others ever have.

 

[TheNumber4]

14 straight games allowing 2 goals or less lol

16 straight with 3 or less

JETS!!!!! We’re coming to kill you!!!

 

[Cup or Bust]

Sure

Chicago
New Jersey
Minnesota
Carolina
Winnipeg
Vegas
Anaheim
Washington

I'll give you Winnipeg, Carolina and Vegas. Vegas was in OT btw.

Who cares. Every team plays the same teams over 82 games and no one else is winning 16 in a row or 24 wins in 27 games. What nonsense.

 

[mkatcherin00]

Sure

Chicago
New Jersey
Minnesota
Carolina
Winnipeg
Vegas
Anaheim
Washington

I'll give you Winnipeg, Carolina and Vegas. Vegas was in OT btw.

List all of the other 10+ game streaks. I mean, it's easy right lol

We all know they have had a softer schedule. Still impressive. That is what a lot of pundits were saying when we started winning.

"The harder part is over for now and they play like 31 non playoff teams in the last 51 games"

My God are you a touchy bunch

But plenty of "contender" teams have runs where they face 8 or 10 strong teams and then 8 or 10 weak teams.

How come we dont have a 15-20 game win streak 7 times a year then by the likes of a Boston, Colorado, Carolina each year?

 

[Da McBomb]

10 points back of the Canucks with 3 games in hand. Win those 3 games and win the last head to head matchup against them... it's game on

Do they?

 

[EchoesoftheEighties]

My God are you a touchy bunch

If you're going to downplay the streak by citing a weak schedule, expect to be met with resistance

 

[GhostfaceWu]

My God are you a touchy bunch

Comes into the Oilers thread to throw shade on something two other teams have done in the history of the league and than responds like this. Get a grip.
