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

[ScoreZeGoals]

Might be a little early for this

 

[Mike C]

Dynasty starts next year

For who?

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

I doubt it... But they've got some glaring issues with that lineup and IMO they aren't good enough to where they can overcome this slide if it lasts another ~2-3 weeks.

If they're something like 2-9-2 in 2-3 weeks, they're probably toast.


McDavid being out does make that more of a possibility.

Have you seen the Pacific? They’ll get into the playoffs

 

[Coffey]

lol this team f***ing sucks

Pile on HFers, pile on

 

[StevenF1919]

No, but it'd be hilarious if they did.

 

[ThatGuy22]

A lot of joke answers here. But, ya they are at risk. The depth and D and goaltending aren't good is McJeses is banged up they áre in triyblr

 

[DingerMcSlapshot]

Hope do. Oilers blow. There got my word in before the Mods close this thread.

 

[Hank Plank]

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

Wait, what?

 

[Dust]

The Pacific is looking pretty rough outside of Vegas, they're 2 points back of 3rd and couldn't play much worse.

 

[Luigi Lemieux]

Been saying Holland was a bad hire since the day he was brought in. Dinosaur with no real vision in today's league. McDavid/Draisaitl are good enough to overcome the bad roster though, doubt they miss.

4 points, but yeah not much ground to make up

Speak for your own team, Vancouver and LA are doing just fine in the Pacific

(Not that it means much down the stretch)

 

[God]

It's unfortunate because I really enjoy watching them bow out of the playoffs. Go Oilers.

 

[PunchImlach is Alive]

There has never been a better time to discount the Oilers playoff chances than right now. What kind of package do we see them getting for McDavid at the deadline?

 

[La Bamba]

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.

im an unbiased Oiler fan and I can confirm Bouchard is complete ass defensively

He's a glorified Erik Gustafsson

 

[Obvious Fabertism]

That defensive play was just as bad as it was during the tank years (decade?) if they keep that up it would absolutely be a concern to make the playoffs.

 

[Dust]

Both teams have pretty big questions marks themselves. LA a lot less than Vancouver, but again, outside of Vegas I don't see any team running away with things.

 

[KrisLetAngry]

They will make it.

6 games doesn't ruin a season at the start. McDavid and Co all turned it up.

 

[Pavels Dog]

Sure it's early, but the question seems legit. Terrible start for them.

 

[Chips]

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

In fairness six would have been worse. It’s all about how you look at it.

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.

Yea I have a hard time believing they’ll not make it. I don’t necessarily think they’ll go far without seriously good fortune, but worse case they fire their coach at some internally set deadline and someone comes in and kicks players asses

 

[Zerotonine]

I guess you need someone to watch since vancouver misses completely.....

 

[Sniper99]

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

HF really needs an eye roll emote everytime he posts something stupid.

 

[Kreator]

dear god i hope so

 

[Eternal Leaf]

Their division is weak or this might have been a wrap already. Regardless that defense is brutal and has no chance of doing well in the playoffs.

Even Ekholm looks terrible.

It's kind of embarrassing when a goalie isn't the main issue despite giving up six goals.
