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

[Muffin]

Nugent-Hopkins, Bouchard, and Hyman?

You can make this exact same argument for any star in the league.

Not really. MacKinnon led the league in even strength points last year. It’s not a secret Edmonton feasts on the PP.

 

[snag]

Weak argument? It’s actually factual . A weak argument is cherry picking a date to make the data look better.

You’ve clearly lost the argument when you need to resort to an attempted personal attack instead of the actual topic

How can that be when Leon has 645 career games and McDavid has 574?

You might wanna verify your facts.

It doesn’t include the games that both were not physically available for .

Facts check out

 

[Field of Dreams]

How did this turn into a debate about a leafs player?

Is there even one GM out there who would prefer nylander over Draisaitl? I like nylander but c'mon.

You'd have to be insane to want Nylander over Drai, especially considering Drai is a centre. I think the comparison was drawn to put Drai's production into propective. Either way, I don't think it was a secret to anyone that Drai and the oilers live and die off the pp.

False, that’s how data works. You take all of it, you don’t cherry pick a small portion to make it look better

I have no dog in this fight but if a large enough sample size is an outlier and is not relevant and skews the data then that data is unreliable. You don't just blindly use data you have to account for relevance.

 

[Fatass]

Is McDavid playing tomorrow? Saw images of him heading out in full uniform onto the outdoor sheet.

Guessing not.

Honestly both are heavily flawed and not indicative of his actual ability. He falls in between the two

 

[cyris]

Guessing not.

Sounds like he is according to HNIC. I wouldn’t play my most important player coming off an injury on jenky outdoor ice in his first game back but it seems like they will.

 

[Frank Drebin]

Hopefully this serves as a wakeup call to ownership, and they get rid of Holland. As a Wings fan, I was so relieved when we let him go. He had his glory years, but he has always been terrible at cap management.

I'm not confident they would find a better replacement. Not that I think Holland is good either

When was the last time a Canadian team had a gm where others were like “wow, that’s a good gm”

 

[Washed Up 29YearOld]

Well, if we want to play «let's make stupid arguments»:

No mustache?

[McVespa99]

Didn't you see last year?

I did. They won 1 playoff round. Are your standards for success really that low?

 

[McVespa99]

You got that backwards, the proof is there. Guy just isn’t the same without holding onto McDavid

Lol. Yah the 2 game sample size from this year while the whole team is playing like crap is totally damning. Guys a bust

 

[yababy]

A new defensive system ignores the detail that McDavid and Draisaitl are two of the least coachable players in the league

 

[Chips]

Draisatl is a product of McDavid and I hope people finally wake up to that.

He’s an inconsistent player who can dominate without mcdavid, but also go long stretches looking like ass whether McDavid is in the lineup or not

Actually, the temperatures in Edmonton right now are just right....and game time should be perfect with the temps hovering around freezing where the ice wont be brittle.

there is even a speacial weather statement from the weather network (actually i should say Environment Vanada...or whetever it is called now) for it lol

1 playoff round? Are you sure?

I saw videos online of massive partying in the streets. Cars being turned over. People climbing 15 foot high street light posts.

Are you sure they didn't win the Stanley Cup?

I guess I missed that Nickelback was performing during the second intermission. Now I understand why McDavid is faking an injury to get out of this.

They're his favorite band.

Yeah Edmonton needs to trade him

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

If they lose to Calgary, they need to blow it up

No that was just a round. If they won the cup it would make that look like child's play

2-6-1 now despite outshooting the Stars by a lot
