Just finishing watching. Ras looked like Zary on that goalwhat a great game by him.
Glad Savard is gone; now Toronto is struggling.
Just nice to see us crush the Oil.
Such an unexpected nice feel being 3-0 when expecting to be 0-3. Craziness.
So very true about Savard being gone.

I don't know if it's funny or sad that the Oilers are accustomed to a shit start, firing a coach and hoping to go on another unsustainable run.

Setting up the play?
The Oilers are always at one of the two extremes: either an unstoppable juggernaut or a laughing stock. No middle ground. Must be exhausting as a fan tbh.
Watched this game today. Had to laugh so hard when they tried to say the reason the Oilers were struggling is "they played too many pre-season games and didn't have enough practice time to learn systems" as if every team didn't also play the same number of games and had the same amount of practice time.

Fun to be 3-0.
I don't think Calgary can sustain this pace, but it's really fun for the time being!
This team does look like it's having fun though. Like the guys seem to be out there having fun, they have each others' back; playing well structured hockey.
I've probably seen enough to think that the worst they'll do it probably in the 7-12 range at the draft. Which bodes well for Montreal.

Agree, they are not winning because of skill, they are winning because of hard work and giving 100%. It's not gonna last a full season and the eventual drop in play due to fatigue might be steep. But I'll enjoy this as long as it lasts.

the defense is going to catch up with us IMO, especially when we start sustaining some injuries. Also look at our opponents, season opener in Vancouver without their #1 goalie, we shouldn't have won but rallied for an injured teammate.... Philly on a night dedicated to Johnny... and then our #1 rival... these might be the 3 of the 5 most emotional games of the season for our guys (the two vs Columbus being the other 2)

Yeah, but when you taste that win streak, you might somehow keep finding more to keep playing hard. Then you get gassed in the playoffs. (ie: 2014-2015.)
