1 shot in the last 63mins played, mostly with McJesus.

All star material. I hope Peters sits them in the ASG.

This is from the opening post of the Oilers PGT thread:

This team hasn't played a good game in weeks. We've got some wins off the backs of great individual efforts, but otherwise this team has been trash since early December.

I saw that, and my thought was "December? Of what year? 2000? 1995? 1991?"

100%. He also said McDavid is making the rounds on your daughters (to Edmonton fans) and they love him because $12 million/year ain't that bad.

Smyth was traded away in 2007.

I know Oiler fans are bad at math & great at revisionist history, but one would think Ryan’s airport tears would be something to remember.

Nurse dosen't seem too broken up over the losses.

Playing 30 minutes a night he deserved a 6x6, if only they had the room for it.

It certainly looks like it, but the Oilers don't have a tank mode, and never have. This the Oilers firing on all cylinders and their attempt at a "cup run".

What if I told you the Oil firing on all cylinders and tanking were one in the same.

I did not know this but it makes sense. Guy basically snorted all his salary for years. I don’t doubt the poverty claims

Oh Ken, Ken, Ken... you thought you could solve the Oilers with a system and some hardball. I guess you do lose your marbles a bit with age.

[dirk diggler]

watched the last 2 minutes of the Oilers game and they pull their goalie and the announcer says " watch out, the Oilers scored with 8 seconds to go against Florida" and my son who is 10 looks at me and says " why would he say that, picks one game where they score late" . "how many games did they not score and lose". He is only 10 but he clearly knows edmonton is NG. smart guy

I dunno what to think maybe he wanted to pad his retirement.

Looks and results are one in the same, absolutely. But I guarantee you this is them going Bs to the W, none of this so called tanking.

[dirk diggler]

bad bounces? lol

Some Stats.



The Oilers are on track for 82 points on the season. To put it in perspective, last years team had 78 points. This team is weaker personal wise, so it looks to me like they're massively over achieving. Oiler fans should be proud.


Even to hit the 88 point barrier that the last wild card team is trending to, the oilers would need 21 wins in their last 37 games or a record of 22-15 because they are actully trailing everyone in ROW. That's a .595 winning percentage.



They could also be trailing 2 teams in the wild card race if Vancouver wins tomorrow night. That makes it tougher.
