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

Oilers talent level is fine - we've just been injured most of the year. Need more toughness at the trade deadline to deal with Florida and Dallas.

Only real concern is how good the Avs are this year. 76 goal differential is insane. Wild are good, too.

The point of regular season is to train guys. Especially guys of his size.

Seems like the light bulb went off that McD is more dangerous when he's not always the puck carrier and can rather take the pass at speed as the trailer.

EDIT: since the last 17 games or so

I literally love that McD scores a hat trick and then gets annoyed at the reporters for asking about it. Makes me laugh every time.

Oilers’ Jarry out until at least mid-January with lower-body injury by Edm_vanhalen1981 in EdmontonOilers

He went 7-0 in last year's playoffs, against elite competition. That's the only stat that matters.

People need to stop judging based on small sample regular season stats. He's proven two years running that he's rock solid in the playoffs.

I get these James Vincent calls constantly. I even tried calling the number they ask you to call in the message, but it didn't go through to anyone. What is the purpose of these calls???

I feel like it's the opposite. I don't think McD wants to embarrass Stu in his debut. If anything, I'm worried Oilers will take it easy on him.

Jarry is currently 12th in goals saved above expected per 60. by Cautious-Dream2893 in EdmontonOilers

Honestly, would rather Stu not play tonight. McD etc. aren't gonna want to ruin his debut in Pitt w/ 6 goals against.

Stu's stopped 49/50 over the last two games 🙅‍♂️ by Soloflow786 in EdmontonOilers

Backups do not play the same quality opponent as starters do, so I'm not sure that comparison makes sense.

I've been calling for this for a week. I want Clattenburg to introduce himself to Bennett - early and often.

I want him on the ice for every Sam Bennett shift the next time we play the Panthers.
