Oilers are good at hockey again: Back in the plofs

[Video Nasty]

Streak is over, time to change the title of this thread.

This guy finally got release after 7 long weeks.

 

[EdmFlyersfan]

The entire building laughed at Connor when he whiffed on that one timer. Dude needs to work on his skills

McDavid went wild at the end of the game and trashed his water bottle and yelled something at the bench.

 

[Ryder71]

Same with Flyers 35 game unbeaten streak.

Yeah, I don't see that record falling either

Yes I don't see that record falling either. I'm just glad that Pittsburgh holds the record for both regular season consecutive win streaks as well as postseason. Interestingly enough they were done around the same time of course the Mario Lemieux Jaromir Jagr era of 92 and 93. are illustrious franchise. I might be wrong about this but I also think we have the most consecutive losses as well.

How about accuracy to reflect today..."16 Game winning streak ends"

Because the current title, as explained, is still accurate. But hey, why don't we change every hat trick thread to "Player X Fails to Score 4" as soon as the game is over?

No change required.

Too late, it was changed.

 

[GOilers88]

Plof bound, baby!

 

[AnInjuredJasonZucker]

Too late, it was changed.

To totally accurately reflect that they are in the "plofs".

I thought accuracy was your kink. Why aren't you going off?

 

[MessierII]

Have to settle for 24-4 in our last 28 games. Could still easily break the record this year.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

what a run! played a hell of a game tonight too, but Hill was on point

didn't want the record anyways, the Pens didn't even win the Cup in 92-93

Same with Flyers 35 game unbeaten streak.

Flyers didn't win the Cup that year

Wish we had a schedule where we vs Chicago three times, Anaheim, SJ, Seattle, Ottawa, Montreal, Columbus, a slumping Leafs, Flyers, Kings and Rangers team, then three middling teams in Calgary, Nashville, and New Jersey.

That had to be the best stretch of 16-18 games i think I’ve ever seen where you had the most shittiest and mid teams you had to face consecutively.

you guys lost to Columbus

sit this one out

 

[LemonSauceD]

you guys lost to Columbus

sit this one out

At the trail end of a gruelling 7 game road trip and we still grabbed a point.

And you guys lost to San Jose in regulation btw. We did too, but yeah not as embarrassingly.

I had no idea the Flyers did this, let alone in the early 90s. Would’ve figured it was from the Bobby Clarke days.

Man just appreciate it for what it is. There's a reason this has only happened 2 times prior. It's over and they didn't break the record, no one will care in 2 weeks anyways. How often do you hear reference of the 16-17 Blue Jackets.

 

[Cup or Bust]

Glad the dumb winning streak is over, tired of hearing about it. The Oilers have won 24 out of 28. More important things like the trade deadline and getting setup for the playoffs matter now.

Imagine having your team be first in the league and being like this.

After a gruelling 7 game road trip and we still grabbed a point.

excuses are for losers

and we lost the Sharks by 1 goal, just like the Nucks

 

[Cup or Bust]

Oilers took advantage of an easy schedule.

All the knobs like to tell themselves that. 24 wins in 28 games

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

easiest 28-game stretch in NHL history

 

[Cup or Bust]

easiest 28-game stretch in NHL history

Definitely. Every other team only plays the best teams in the league every game that's why only the Oilers are able to win 16 in a row and 24 out of 28.

Also you guys have had the 3rd easiest schedule so far so, glass houses

Just stopping in for the plofs, who’s holding them?

 

[Ryder71]

Flyers did it in 79-80, Pens did their streaks in 92 and 93.

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Flyers did it in 79-80, Pens did their streaks in 92 and 93.

16 games is impressive as hell!
But those win streaks by the Flyers and Pens before OT and the shootout are even more impressive.

YES! And the Pens had another streak of 15 in a row I believe in 2013.
