Delicious result tonight after how insecure hf Oilers has been all year around the "PDO Canucks" since the season-opening ass kicking.
Oiler fans have posted big talk ever since, eager to dismiss those games as a blip, and finally they get their shot to reel in the Canucks and prove themselves right - and the Canucks shut them down in textbook fashion in their barn.
The Oilers without McDavid also look about as mediocre as I expected. Without the wellfare saviour they looked like a glorified version of the 22-23 Flames. Similarly, full of aging secondary players (minus Draisaitl, but he's hardly been a straw-stirring guy this year).
And Staples with the kiss of death publishing that last article that took the arrogance to stratospheric levels. You always have that one epic article/piece right before the fall that immortalizes some stupid phrase in E=NG lore, i.e. rearview mirror.
The only team that can beat the Oilers is the Oilers, baby. They beat themselves good tonight.
