Oil fans eat it up.

Who else are they going to talk about on the Oilers? They have to talk about Mcblah because there is literally no one else to talk about

McDavid McDavid McDavid McDavid McDavid McDavid??? McDavid McDavid McDavid McDavid

That was a Badger Bob Johnson thing too,

The crossover I care about is the one where the Flames pass the Oilers in the Pacific!

Donald Trump calls Oilers games when he is not watching and tweeting about cable news.

From their PGT:

"I don't and will never understand why the Flames get so much focus in the media."

The lack of self awareness is mind boggling. No one gets more media time than McPrincess and his minions and it isn't even close.

[Heavy Jack]

It's maddening that Gaudreau isn't treated like a star to the same extent on the ice and by the media like the top draft picks seem to be. They should be doing it even more so due to his draft place but wte. Insulting that an Oilers fan would say that when it's been nothing but Leafs and Oilers all year. Half a year of McDavid was tough to stomach, a whole year with possible playoffs is downright sickening at times with the coverage.

[djsFlames]

At times this season you wouldn't know that Gaudreau still played in the league if it weren't for events like the All Star game. You'd think McDavid was the only talent in this end of the country.

I don't think Johnny cares though. I'd prefer that McDavid stays under the microscope for the inevitable future times when he will experience adversity (playoffs?). It'll just frustrate him even more to be hounded before/after each and every game. His career has been a breeze to this point but that won't always been the case. That's when players would probably rather not by under the spotlight.

2 points.

Sportsnet Central quote:

"Now, the Anaheim Ducks are sitting comfortably in a playoff position but certianly aren't playing their best hockey of the season. Anaheim, in search of its fifth straight division crown but are unlikely to catch either the Oilers or the Sharks in the Pacific...."

Really? Can't believe this kind of reporting. Oilers might end up as a Wildcard team.

[Snuffleupagus]

It was kind of neat to see a rested team play the Oilers for a change.

Hahahah ROFL. Was this seriously a quote from tonight? The Ducks have the same number of points and are only third due to the season series. I can't wait for the Oilers tears when both the Flames and Ducks pass them and they are struggling to hang onto a wild card.

Oilers might end up missing the playoffs all together.

Can't figure out how to embed tweets, but this is pretty good.

If the Oilers go a mediocre 8-8-0 down the stretch, the Kings would have to go 13-4-0 to pass them.

It's unfortunate, but the Oilers 10yr drought is over.

Yeah, you're right, it would have to be a pretty big collapse, but I'd be more concerned about the Blues catching the Oilers than the Kings for a wildcard spot, especially when you look at the easy schedule remaining for the Blues.

God I hope so.
