So much love for this team right now.

Gaudreau: this kid is unbelievable. The kid wants to just take over the game and has the skill to do it. You can feel the defensemen of other teams start to panic when he starts coming up the ice with the puck. And you can feel the the fans in the dome start to stand up out of their seats as he does it. One of the best things is that he seems to feed off the excitement of the crowd. As the game got faster and more intense he just wanted that puck so bad.

Giordano: Obviously the Norris front runner by a long shot by now but should also be the front runner for the hart trophy. The guy is nothing short of heroic every night. He should also be the front runner for the mark messier award for the best captain.

Brodie: Wow! He does things that so few guys in the league can do and will even attempt. Unbelievable. Keeps playing like this and it could be the first time the NHL ever awards the Norris as a tie between two guys on the same team... Gio and Brodie together. Side note: I don't know if many people noticed this but on that beautiful play he made on the hudler goal, Getzlaf lead with his knee trying to hit Brodie. It would have been a blatant knee-on-knee that could have caused serious injury and would have been suspension-worthy. Brodie, however, was so aware that he lifted his leg while dangling past getzlaf to avoid the knee hit.

Granlund: such a smart player. Huge hockey IQ.

Monahan: Lots of people prepared themselves for a let down from him this year but his development is just going faster. He's a beast to handle out there already. He's winning puck battles all over the ice and showing his playmaking. He's averaging at least 3 prime scoring chances per game. He's winning important face-offs and facing the other teams' top players. Plus he's gained a step in his skating this year and he's carrying the puck more.

This is only the beginning guys... There's more on the way and the kids here are already learning how to play the game the right way and be real professionals by guys like gio, Russell, hudler, etc.

Are people not watching the highlights of this team? How can anyone still say this team doesn't have a lot of skill?! Giordano, Brodie, Russell, wideman, hudler, Monahan, gaudreau, etc. I see so much skill all over the place. I mean... Gaudreau might just be the physical incarnation of pure hockey skill.

People need to stop pretending the oilers have anything close to the level of skill that the flames have. Not even close. And don't even try the "well, they might have more high end skill" reasoning people try to use cause it's just not true.

Monahan>>>>>draisaitl, gaudreau>>>>>RNH,
Hudler>>>>>eberle
Brodie>>>>>Hall

I haven't even gotten to gio, Russell, granlund, etc. cause the oilers don't have anyone worth mentioning in the same sentence with them.

They are now 12 points behind the flames.
