Oilers now 13-12-1: THE THREAD THAT'S FUN FOR EVERYONE

[Frank Drebin]

What’s with all the narrative crap? LMAO….it’s just a hockey board and I am way too high so just settle down. There are 116 points available for the Oilers and they have to play 600 hockey just to make 93 points (23 current plus 70 points playing .600) which is the projected cut line to make the playoffs.

I just showed you that winning 6 games in a row may not be enough since other teams will gain at the same time. Yes, I get the games in hand and all that but that is not part of what I am trying to illustrate.

You're trying to illustrate something that isn't grounded in reality.

How many games do you think they will lose? Losing more than 30 games all year is around the bottom cut line for WC spots. They already have 12 and another 18 puts them at 30 for the year.

With 58 games remaining, losing 18 would mean 40 games with at least one point. If they win all 40 it’s simple math - 80 points plus 24 would be 104 points. No problem. But some of the hose games will be OT.

So the question is how many of those 40 are wins? And how many OTLs? And who are you giving up points too with an OT win?

Nobody knows. Just enjoy the show.

Stop bumping this thread after every Oilers win?

only after losses right?

 

[Czechboy]

Blackhawks next on Tuesday. Just in case anyone was wondering.

 

[Macheteops]

Another WIN but it cost them a game played! Not good...

 

[Czechboy]

It got to over 100 pages when we were losing.lol

Blackhawks next on Tuesday. Just in case anyone was wondering.

Losing the streak to the Hawks would be the most Oiler moment lol

Yup... Mrazek with a shutout and Bedard with a hat trick.haha

Don't worry about it.

Officially, don't worry about it.

I was trying to post the "I don't think I will" meme, but it wouldn't work. I will accept my downvotes for my failure.

 

[WestCoast CyberG]

And the Canucks are hoping good goaltending will continue to mask average underlying numbers.

They are a dominant possession team. That usually bodes well for success.

Which underlying numbers are those exactly? lol……

Ah, see, now that's solid.

Win percentage is getting us closer! Curious if I get to post one of us in the wildcard spot before 2024?

Where is it written the cut off is 93 points?

There is no imaginary team called the "Cut Off On Pace For Team".

Right now the 8th seed in the West is Nashville and they are playing at a 85 point pace. Arizona playing at an 88 point pace. The fact is the bottom of the Western Conference isn't that good.

The Oilers have 3 points less this season at the same game (game 25) as they did last year, last year they finished with 109 points.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Since that was a game in hand.

Do the 2 points even count? I'm not sure how this works.

It is funny when the Oilers were losing 31 fan bases loved this thread and now they are winning? Not so much.

It is a long season and having one single thread to fight is better than ten

 

[snipes]

Over/under 15k posts by seasons end in this beauty?

 

[oil Leaks]

you love to see it

I'd be surprised if it isn't closed before then

The best is when fans of 31 teams will play victim and cry “Oiler fans are so cocky” after shitting on them for 100 pages.

Hockeys fans are truly special.

Got it…..no idea how but Oilers are going to “just play better” and make it. Solid. Case.

I don’t think the goaltending will hold and they have a challenging schedule in Feb.

I agree it’s a difficult schedule. So let’s just sit back and enjoy the show.

I still had them making the playoffs. Even through it all. Even bet them to make the WCF. Good odds.

You need a snickers my friend.

It is a projected cut line not exact science. Make it 95, whatever. Point is Oilers are fighting from the bottom instead of playing for the division.

There was period where the 1st page of the mains was almost entirely all threads dunking on the Oiler. The push back is going to be unreal if we make the playoffs. They thought we were cocky before? They haven't seen anything yet. Especially with the team playing great defence.

Why do you suppose the thread was created originally? Because the hockey world loves the Oilers and their fans? I think you have the order mixed up.
