And looked like a dumpster fire in game 5 until the refs called a parade of LA penalties when the Kings were taking over the game.

2 uninspiring efforts saved both times by PPs leading up a long break. But yeah they'll roll through the next round.

We'll see.

I agree with what you said.

They'd have a shot still, but a slim one against the teams that would be around after round 2.

Unless Colorado happens upon some really unfortunate injuries, who is stopping that freight train?

Or you have Dallas, who put the boots to the oilers like they were still in the decade+ of darkness.

lol not in the closet at all, been clear I’m a fan of the team, but I’m pretty objective about it - well as much as any fan could be I guess.

Lots of things will play into whether they can make it all the way into the finals. All of the matchups are hard, but if Skinner plays well, and you won’t like hearing this but Mcdavid and draisaitl can win a game or two on their own, if those things happen they’ve got a fighters chance.

How about just focusing on the next round?

This is exactly why you lot come off so insufferable.

VAN fans here openly recognize that Colorado or Dallas would be a herculean task and would probably wreck them. You guys are talking about finals and cup or bust, when the Oilers haven't come close against the likes of Vegas and Colorado.

The closest the oilers have been was a WCF sweep.

Objective? You've just fallen into the same traps as far less "objective" fans with that last paragraph.

Oilers have proven nothing despite McDrai weilding that ability for 8 years, so try taking a humble pill for a change of pace, Mr. Objective Oiler fan.

You might not like hearing this, buy there's 1-2 shots remaining with McDrai and there's nothing to say that they're in any better position to have a sniff than recent years.

Not without the help of lopsided reffing.

You and I were discussing who were the top teams and whether they can beat them, I’m not skipping past anyone. I was describing the conditions I think it would take for them to get there, certainly not assuming they can. I had already said I wasn’t sure they can best those teams. I said before it’s a close call against Vancouver and then it gets even worse if the get past Vancouver.

Well we have had Oilers fans create accounts here pretending to be Flames fans before and recently.

You don't have to be a player to practice not being an obnoxious arse that gets way ahead of himself.

It's a good practice for life in general.

Do you enter the workforce at a corporate place and openly talk about when you'll inevitably become CEO in your near future?

That you take fandom as a free pass to act this way and set yourselves up for bitter disappointment every year without revision says enough about the IQ level of Bumonton fans.

Canuck fans are coming out looking way better than you guys this year despite having more regular season success. That's embarrassing.

He wasn’t being an obnoxious ass he was replying to you, and a fan looking big picture changes nothing.

I didn’t read the rest of your rambling drivel, I’m just finding it amusing how you seem to like to tell other people how to live their lives and you’re one of the worst posters on this board. Under all your past usernames

I didn’t do that, you know I didn’t do that. Even Trent crimm went through a change in the series, should give it a try.
