In no particular order, my 3 would have to be

1. Draisaitl skating by the Rangers bench and telling them the comeback..."it's coming". That was cold blooded

2. The McDavid move on Reilly. It wasn't just a deke, it was a head game.

3. Maroon and Kassian chirping Perry from the bench in the playoffs. Just hilarious
 
Let’s see…

Mike Smith coming back mid game to Metallica in the playoffs is up there for me. I was at the game I was fiiirrreeed up.

McDavid undressing the entire Rangers lineup is up there for me.

The buzzer going off at the end of the Dallas series. What a feeling.

McDavid giving Tkachuk and Gaudreau a minus on their last shift in calgary
 
1) McDavid's OT goal from Leon to eliminate the mighty Calgary Flames team that won the Pacific. This was my high water mark as an Oilers fan and it will be hard to ever top that moment.

2) Game 6 against Dallas last year to finally get back to the SCF.

3) Game 7 against LA in 2022. Amazing game, one of the best performances I've ever seen on the part of McDavid.

I could go on and on. It's been an amazing ride and I'll have a lifetime of memories even if they don't manage to ever win a cup in the McDrai era.
 
Not the top 3 but adding some moments to the list.
1.The Feb 2017 "revenge"game against the Flyers where Maroon and the whole team really took it to Manning. After seeing the Oilers get pushed around so long that game was cleansing to the soul. 2. The Calgary beat down that came to a peak when Mike Smith threw down with Talbot at center ice. 3. Kassian's career night against the Sharks, What a night and honestly a great playoff series.
 
If there’s one goal I remember the most I think it’s Mcdavid 60th in his 64 goal year, Draisaitl sets Mcdavid up all alone on an unbelievable pass to miss the shot just for Draisaitl to set him up all alone for the same shot

That backhand pass by Drai is pure sex. There's what, like five guys in the history of the league that can make that pass? Unreal.
 
#1 for me is hands down game 6 vs Florida. That was just wild.

#2 i think eliminating Calgary. Just so satisfying

#3 I would say the flames game with a bunch of fights plus the goalie fight.


Honorable mention to winning game 7 against the kings in 2022 playoffs. That’s series win felt huge at the time.

#1 is reserved.

#2 McDavid Game 5 OT goal vs. Calgary. I was in Portugal at the time. It was like 5 or 6 in the morning, we had a train booked to Lisbon at 8:30. I woke everyone in the house up when he scored. They were not too happy. But I didn’t care then and idc now, watching an Oilers team school cowshit town and send them into another rebuild was incredible.

#3 Game 6 vs Dallas. The whole thing really. After they won I cried for about 5 minutes. I was throughly convinced we were going to go all the way. I immediately booked a ticket to Edmonton for the entirety of the finals. That experience, despite the result, was so much fun. I couldn’t afford to be in the building but I was in the Moss Pit for every game.
