The Oilers are an old team

[hangman005]

The Oilers are 45 years older than my team.

Check back in a month when we’re about 20% of the way through the season. See how they’re looking then.

Not asking about your private info.. just using you analogy which says us Oil fans just got dumped.

This one:




You've won 3 rounds since 2011 Finals. You also got eliminated by the Oilers a few months ago. The Oilers won more rounds in Spring then the Nucks have in over a decade.

I'll take our recent 'dumping' over this.

I'm fiarly certain the Nucks have never eliminated the Oilers from the playoffs????

Was just a funny analogy about being eliminated in game 7 of the SCF.

You're taking this a little too seriously.

They would not even be a playoff team in the Atlantic.

It would be a battle for sure Would make for a much more entertaining regular season

Their bottom 6 don't scare anyone. This team is even more top heavy now than they were last year. Upgraded their top 6 in expense of their D and bottom 6.

Podkolzin couldn't even crack the Canucks lineup the last 3 years. Was likely headed overseas if the Oilers didn't sign him. Ryan and Brown are barely NHL calibre players. They wouldn't crack the lineup on any contender

Perry and Henrique will have to be used as top 6 guys when injuries occur. Yikes.

 

[Mr Positive]

The core players who put up all the big minutes aren't old though.

Averages can get skewed in a hurry with Perry, Ryan and Janmark there, who will be cycled out of the team after this year.

Nor to mention they still only have one NHL quality blueliner in Ekholm. In addition, despite e advanced age, they lack veteran leadership to counteract the impact of having a locker room cancer wearing the C. After the top 6, this is a historically bad team.

Well according to Oilers fans this is by far the best and deepest offense in the NHL. Despite having a bottom 5 starter and a weak blue line. So I guess they will power play themselves to another cup final. Have to have a lot of luck again on your side.

 

[Oleksiak]

I haven’t seen the last two games, but let me just say this...watching Edmonton lose Game 7 and the horrified oiler fans faces was one of the most satisfying experiences of the year. Fully deserved. In fact, I think I’ll watch them again right now on youtube.

Seeing how ashamed McDiver's parents were after he proved he wasn't man enough to accept the Conn Smythe was pretty close.

What's going to be real interesting is if the refs stop falling for all the diving now that McDiver disgraced the league with his refusal to accept the Conn Smythe and the hiring of a sex offender for a GM.

When does McDavid pull the plug on Knoblauch?

 

[Turin]

Oilers will turn it around, they’re always cold or red hot. Still, losing Holloway, McLeod and Broberg will hurt their depth.

 

[Nikki Potnick]

You would've thought that after experiencing the Corey Perry curse, they'd steer clear of the Jeff Skinner curse.

 

[Monsieur Miz]

''We don't need Broberg''

 

[fsanford]

I dunno but the clock has started. Tick tock tick tock

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

''We don't need Broberg''

3pts in 3 games so far for Broberg playing on the Blues 2nd pair with Faulk, logging top 4 minutes.

 

[DJJones]

Blues just took their lunch and their spirit with those offer sheets

 

[5 14 6 1]

The Oilers suck

 

[Artemi Panarin]

They may have needed Broberg

 

[Angry Little Elf]

lol oilers

 

[Jetcetera]

funny enough skinner and perry have been their best players

 

[Bobby9]

I think they have the best top 6 in the NHL, bay far.

The bottom 6 is mediocre. Not the worst and certainly not the best.

Their top pairing is very good. After that it is mediocre.


Hard to say what they can do built like that

 

[Donuts]

broberg

 

[5 14 6 1]

They may have needed Broberg

He barely played for them last season, but I agree he was a key future piece that they let walk.

 

[Edgelord]

the oilers are soo old that their SIN# is 1

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Florida destroyed this team.
