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

[TheNumber4]

Oilers played great yesterday. Devils had nothing going offensively.

Not many teams could get much going offensively against the Oil during this streak. Don't be too down on Hughes and the boys, the Oilers have been leaving their opponents in the dust when it comes to scoring chance differential for a while now.

 

[BayStBullies]

McDavid can just turn it back on and they'll easily crush a weak division. Who are you all kidding?

Well, that was pretty predictable. The people jumping all over this thread are now eating crow.

If the Oilers lose tonight? This will be fun.

Mostly from those who wanted the thread closed

 

[crowfish]

McDavid has 20 points in 7 games during this winning streak. If he does that for the remaining 57 games he will score 199 points this season.

If they lose to the hawks. It would be a very oiler way to lose the winning streak.

 

[Jumptheshark]

Not gonna lie.... I was having alot more fun when the oilers were sucking

A lot of posters were and they will be ba k with the next lose

meh, We ended many a winning streaks and beat really good teams during our decade of darkness. A little perspective makes a big difference. It's a hard league to win in and the nature of an 82 game schedule means losing to teams below you in the standings happens fairly often.

We should just be happy there are teams below us now.

I'd get excited. but they're probably just teasing me again

 

[hangman005]

rank the canadian teams:
1) Leafs



2)Oil
2B)Nucks

rest

1) Vegas.
2=) all the teams actually in canada.

 

[Czechboy]

I think a win tonight (if it happens) would put us at .520?

Nice thing for us? Yotes and Blues are both on 3 game losing streaks.

Agree with above.. this should be a winnable game that we absolutely Oiler up and lose.lol Mrazek with a shutout, Bedard with a hattrick incoming.haha

The duality of fans. Edmonton before the winning streak was getting .863 goaltending, McDavid had 16 points in 16 games, and fans said they were dead in the water and it was time to give up. Edmonton during their winning streak are getting .935 goaltending (also shooting over 14% as a team), McDavid has 20 points in 7 games, and fans are pounding their chest and calling them contenders again.

Just like how bad they looked to start the season wasn’t an indication of their talent, how good they look now isn’t an indication either. It will be interesting to see where they settle out.

Mcadvid is just the goat of the generation.

Y’all need to remember that

Agreed, but they’ve also been deserving of these wins.

Getting into a playoff spot would be a nice Christmas present.

Really going out on a limb there…

I don't think I have seen anyone calling them "contenders".. Just they are now trending more to their average with many just saying "get in the playoffs and go from there". Confidence is a fickle thing....within the dressing room and on the couch.

Though once you are in the playoffs, you are technically a contender, no?

It survived the first 6 pages. It’s gonna go on forever now.

Even if the oilers pull this game off, they're still only on pace for 85 points.

 

[McFlash97]

This thread continues and breaks the HF servers when the Oilers hoist the cup. Heard it hear first. Quote me.

impressive considering they were 2-9-1 at a point

as long as you make the playoffs, doesn't matter in the end

But how many of those are games in hand.

Those games dont count towards your point total.

 

[Frank Drebin]

@Tobias Kahun @La Bamba I was just having fun with a conversation I had in this thread a couple days ago.

I realize point pace doesn't mean much when half of your season to date was terrible hockey.

Watched a show that's an offshoot of MeatEater. They ate crow, apparently it's not as bad as you would think.
