The Athletic surveyed 17 head coaches and 16 execs. Only 4 picked the Oilers to win the Cup. Don't think I've ever seen such a wide margin before.

Any team is as good as their weakest link. The Oilers depth players and Nurse will be their downfall. Oilers board must be thinking that McDrai will score +5 goals per game to overcome that fact.

That’s amazing. Who are the 4 losers?

When asked about Florida possibly having an advantage by going to the Cup last year the Edmonton coach referred to Buffalo who lost 4 straight Super Bowls….Interesting response not sure if Buffalo appreciates that…….

You dislike the Oilers? fine but calling the fanbase pigs ? really dude ?
That poster isn't even a Panthers fan, lol, Oilers fans have pissed off so many fans of separate fanbases with their holier than thou attitude, I guess they see everyone as lumped all together.

We are the last greatest hope, for many fanbases it seems.

This oilers team is a bit of an enigma:

-Oilers started the season 3-10. Fired woodcraft and hired Knoblauch.
-Went 26-6 from mid-November through January.
-Finished 20-17.
-Looked unimpressive in the first 2 rounds (but wins are wins).
-Somehow beats a better team in Dallas despite putting up 10 shots in the clincher.
-Currently as hot as you can get on special teams, which is what enabled them to get through the last 2 rounds and is probably unsustainable.

We’ve only gotten through 2 full days of the work week so far and it feels like 2 years. Just sitting here and waiting, thinking of everything that can go wrong, it’s driving me nuts. Literally all I can think about now and even struggling to sleep as my mind won’t shut up. This is unbearable, just start it already so we can get through it sooner.

Looks like we are going to have to turn on our offensive juices which we can and will surprise a lot of people. In a perfect world we close down their zones and we might but we are facing a lot of snipers not seen through most of our playoff foes. As Chucky noted “we will have to see how it goes early and then adjust to what we see.”

The keys to SC are simple:
- stop McD
- stop Oil PP (which is same as above)
- crowd Skinner

Nurse, Perry, etc will self destruct and f*** up all on their own and Drai/Bouch won’t be able to save them.

ETA: I left Hyman off the concerns list because he’s more Huberdeau than Tkachuk/Reino.

To me I’m cherishing the days having fun with the moment. I’m gonna have Panthers withdrawals starting at the end of June.

I would say to have all that happen would be a best case scenario, it'll be close but I think we have the experience and horses to get it done.

Their lineup is quite feast or famine.
