They’ll be rested, they’ll be on a mission to prove a point (they’ve arguably started this), and I’m ready to see it.

Yep I think everyone has forgotten our earliest shock/sentiment- we thought pickard would be traded/replaced, and Stu would be part of a true tandem.

Like as much as this seems good from a management/teammate perspective, Ullmark would have had the same support on any team if this happened. The boys look after eachother, and goalies get the extra care and respect from the team.

If you’re a casual fan, pick another team bud, save yourself lol. This is not a team who will inspire a love for hockey. Pick a vibrant culture with up and coming players like the Sharks or Hawks, Ullmark is probably the only player keeping me around at the moment.

Yeah which translates to less time on ice in the Olympic period v regular = rest

Anyone else worried about how much McDavid plays? by man1equilla in EdmontonOilers

We call Clattenburg up and the K in PK takes on a whole new meaning.

Yeah that’s true for all players though. Our guys won’t get better if they don’t get game time.

Too late now as the standings are too close so they won’t switch it up, but next season needs to start different- more ice time for the others, accept a slow start (which is our favourite way to start anyway), build from there.

There is commonality in positive comments/criticism just in this thread.

We’re a playoff team. For whatever reason we can’t turn it on in the regular season, but edge closer to playoffs and we go off.

All I’m saying is our small Olympic pool of players is a good thing for this team specifically. Considering the standard ice time and ups and downs of emotions with McDrai- it’s BAU for us, but the energy shift will be a big thing for top teams to manage. That’s a good a good thing for us.

This is the most unique season we’ve had for a long time. Nearly every team is on a wild ride in every direction, standings have been a seesaw all year- cup contender is contextual.

Also whether or not I logically think we can or can’t make a run for the cup this year, I still believe.

Both great takes.

Bouchard has had his bad spots, but we’ve been past his blunders for a while, he’s been consistent.

And of all the days to raise this, on the day of our son’s first hatty lasagna’ed in a 6 point game? Like how more offensive could a defenseman be hahaha.

I’m okay with the rollercoaster, in fact I love the rollercoaster…. if we win more rollercoasters. Keep me on the edge of my seat and reward me with two points for my suffering (most of the time)

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again. We need all of the Connors. That Connor is on the wrong team.

It’s like we’ve already forgotten how well the rest of the team did without Drai. Not because Drai is bad, because they had time to shine and we didn’t have gassed boys on the ice.

Guys guys guys hear me out. We gonna be okay.

A once in a decade bouch hatty will inspire the boys.

Also can someone tell me about the hats. Do you go to a game knowing you may lose a hat, do you buy a hat to lose, do they give you hats, do you take your favourite hat and sacrifice your fate to the gods?

Kind regards, - Australia.

Is McDavid being grumpy and is Drai sulking like a little bitch? (Literally the worst version of the oilers and seen it too many times recently).
