Still unsure if Skinner can be trusted in a series. Guess we’ll find out

I think a lot of Oiler fans are privately thinking that. He wasn't that good last year against Vegas and this year could be round 2.

I have some of that but just remember our defense.
I'm hoping in playoffs we go back to nailing down the zone D and not have Vegas (and LA) slicing through our D with slot shots and cross crease chances.
If we do that Skinner should be fine. Also remember that we were Vegas' toughest opponent according to them. I don't see any strong contenders this year. The cup is right there
Fun fact: the Oilers have the no.1 win percentage in the league for a full calendar year.

Oilers are no.1, on top of having the no.1 record this year since Nov. 11, 2023.
The whole "achsuaullly they're not even a good team" shit is just painfully stupid. You're not the no.1 team in any sport for a full 365 days practically without at least being "good". I don't care what sport you're looking at, NBA, NFL, MLB, NHL, MLS whatever.
Put the crack pipe down already.
Do they have some roster weaknesses? Sure. That said like that's not something exclusive to only them there are plenty of "contending" teams I can point at and show weakness all over their rosters too.

Is that more important than wins and losses?
AM I MISSING A JOKE HERE?!
Oh, it's Coffee. Nevermind.

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic...
But if you aren't, and that is your statistic of choice to prove anything, you're off your rocker...
And crossing their fingers Skinner does not forget how to play goal again.

this is a fun thread. Oilers lose, some posters come out in droves. The oilers win? Those posters go MIA. I just find it wild the oilers were 20pts behind Vegas for awhile

It really feels like this has to be the year for the Oil. Everything is clicking and McDrai are at the absolute peak of their powers.
This is their best chance but then I look at the murderers row of teams they likely have to get through (Vegas, Dallas, Colorado) and I just don't know. Having to play a big, heavy team like LA or Vegas in RD1 is a nightmare.
If they don't get it done this year I think it could be hugely demorsalizing and things just fall apart.

who cares...... why do people always try and take little bits of last year and little bits of this year to make things seem better than they are. like it does not matter at all. last season has nothing to do with this season so this stat is stupid.Fun fact: the Oilers have the no.1 win percentage in the league for a full calendar year.

Because doing this only matters when looking at Matthews?
If you do not like it then do not post in an Oilers thread complaining about it.

Just throwing this out there about pointing to mid-late season runs, not saying I don’t think they will be a serious contender
But yea didn’t they finish strong the last two seasons as well? Start weak, finish strong, “we’re one of the best teams”, then some of the old early season problems pop back up in the playoffs
Much of it’s matchups getting hot at the right time
