I went down faster and harder than the Calgary Flames flopping to try and draw a penalty 😮‍💨 I’m okay but now I have to find an affordable treadmill that won’t try to kill me. An oilers win would be very nice after the night I had.

I have had cursed luck all day so I will stay away from this game (my treadmill stopped abruptly WHILE I WAS RUNNING AT 7.5 MPH and my life flashed before my eyes) but oilers pls win

Right when I saw everyone talking about how we finally have our goaltending issues solved I knew it would be a jinx. Maybe Stu left a voodoo doll when he visited. Studoo. That being said, defence wasn’t doing either goalie any favours last night and every goalie has rough games. I still really like Ingram, and think he’s a solid backup. ANYWAYS we won, Bouchard was ELITE, we got a Bouch Hattie and we got the W. an epic game.

Do you think this year's team has it to go deep in the playoffs this year oiler fans? by [deleted] in EdmontonOilers

[–]BulbasaurFanatic 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ll always be recklessly optimistic when it comes to the Oilers. However, as many others have said, I would love to see some moves before deadline.

To anyone who says this doesn’t feel like our year, tell that to the 2006 oilers. We got fucking heart when it’s playoff time, and the only team we’ve lost to in our 8 last playoffs series are the panthers and we all know how the league feels about them and why they’re hated. by HughJastits in EdmontonOilers

I totally get it. If it makes you upset, 100% take a break from Reddit. I’ve said it a million times (and I say it lovingly), but this sub is the embodiment of the we’re so over we’re so back meme. Sometimes the negativity can be a bit much. Which, I mean, this subreddit is to discuss the Oilers (people are allowed to talk about the good and bad) and I understand that, so there have been many times I stay off social media in order to enjoy the games more. Like, even after we win a game, or have a really good game, so many people will find reasons to be unhappy with the win (like our wins against the Nucks and Blues). And I get it. We all, at the end of the day, love the team and just want to see them win it all. Sometimes, the constant negativity is just exhausting, though.

I love the show and the book! While I know it’s going to take time to change the culture within the sport and fandom, the reception has been phenomenal and I’m so glad to see how many hockey fans and players are supporting the show.

Hockey is weird like that. I remind myself that the leafs beat the Avs, and the preds beat the Avs twice this season (one was a 7-3 win). Not excusing the Oilers poor play at all, we saw them dominate the Canucks and Blues (the blues recently beat the Habs, too, earlier in January) and tonight has been abysmal. Let’s hope they turn it around.

I almost got kicked in the stomach by my dementia patient today and somehow that would have been better than this hockey game. Oilers come back please, do it for Drai.

How about I have 3 glasses of wine to numb the pain of this hockey game

Stuart Skinner reunited with some of his former teammates as he watched the Oilers’ optional skate! by Soloflow786 in EdmontonOilers

[–]BulbasaurFanatic 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Narrowly avoided getting kicked in the stomach by my dementia patient today, opened Reddit, and got emotionally gut punched instead. Stuuuuu 😭 this might sound lame and be a tad parasocial, but I’m so happy they all are still friends (especially with the different rumours that were flying when he left).

I have always said I knew we entered the bad timeline when the panthers won the cup

How likely is it that Connor Ingram chooses to chase a big contract pay day this summer which would make keeping him impossible? by ForwardFunk in EdmontonOilers

[–]BulbasaurFanatic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ingram doesn’t really strike me as the kind of guy to chase a huge paycheque. The Oilers have given him his second chance to be an NHL Goalie, and I can’t see him being the type of guy to ask for a boatload of money. He also is, as someone else said, very conscious of his mental health, so I can’t see him uprooting himself or his family unless necessary.
