Its October 24th.

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Too early. Didn’t they get off to a horrendous start last year as well?
I don’t think they’re catching Vegas for the Division but a lot of the Pacific teams are spinning their wheels and still within reach.

[CrazyDuck4u]

So the oilers have changed their name to the mcdavids?

 

[BrendanGaunce4Selke]

its over

 

[ChurchOfMatthews]

It's ok Mc Jesus. We'll clear out the cap space when it's time.

 

[Muffin]

Bouchard looks ROUGH out there. On the ice tonight for FIVE Minnesota goals. Ouch.

Best part about it was Soupy was their best player tonight

 

[Iggys Dome]

McDavid has two years left on his contract after this year




Lol

Of course they are at risk of missing the playoffs. Prettyvmuch every teamnis. But I would still expect them to make it.
It's too early to making any strong claims about where they will be 76 games from now. I'm sure some posters will try though.

So a typical night for him in other words

 

[Baby Pettersson]

Playoffs?!

 

[Dave92]

Gonna be awkward when Mcdavid leaves after they've named his mom team President.

 

[JKG33]

Way too early for this thread, but they were also never the contenders a lot of people and the media would have us believe

Yeah. They’re a playoff team IMO but the Stanley Cup hype was kinda crazy.

I like to shit on them as much as anyone else, but they’re one McDrai streak away from a hot couple months. I wouldn’t count them out just yet.

 

[hotcabbagesoup]

Come on Leon Draisaitl I know you can lead the team like Malkin when Sid was hurt. Come on man!!

 

[PunchImlach is Alive]

Yeah at this point in the season, it looks like the Oilers will clearly not make the playoffs. Edmonton needs to fire up the tank and hope they can land a draft pick that actually pans out.

 

[Oleksiak]

Yep. And yet the Oiler fans absolutely lose it when it's pointed out that he's simply not good enough in his own zone to belong in the NHL. He put up points and still absolutely cost his team with his inability to play defence.

 

[jcs0218]

McDavid is already starting to look forward to joining the Toronto Maple Leafs so that he can be on a team that wins.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Dynasty starts next year

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

It's cup for bust

I suggest they trade their first for an nhl goalie
And another first for a top 4 D
And more futures for Connor Garland, he's good at ES

 

[JTeller97]

They won't miss playoffs (most of the division is struggling) but, this start could put them in a big enough hole to where McDrai gets expended earlier than they need to be which obviously would greatly inhibit them when it matters most

 

[Mike C]

Its October 24th.

Correct. Many months till this year's playoff choke
