Make me puke.

They've been saying this since they drafted the likes of Sam Gagner, Andrew Cogliano in their first rebuild. Was it Glenn Healy saying that it's not matter of if they'll win Stanley Cup, it's how many?

Wow Vegas. You let a non-NHL calibre line score on you. How embarrassing.

Well, it's starting to look like McDangles and Drai might actually drag that pathetic team into the playoffs. Still plenty of time for them to blow it and fall into the typical Oilers tailspin. But sadly this two-man team just keeps winning despite the odds. This truly is the darkest timeline.

Can't believe these clubs with significantly deeper lineups aren't makig the Oilers' 2-4th lines pay on a nightly basis.

How do you not ragdoll the chumps they're putting out against you? I mean come on.

Neal and Gagne? That's an easy turnover waiting to happen.

Tough to ragdoll those 2-4th line chumps when they're never on the ice.

I keep expecting them to lose but they're rolling. Nevermind McDavid and Draisaitl might have the best two seasons in 25 years, their PP is on pace to be the best ever. Dark days.

Looking at that last play by Neal makes me so happy that ######bag is not on our team anymore. Nice head snap you whiny little bitch!!

What I'm most confused about is how Draisaitl can't do anything on his own? He's so dominant out there when McDavid is on the ice but without him he's lost. And I don't mean clean up dominant like Chaisson but legit drives the play.

The Golden Knights are just getting outclassed by the Oilers tonight. Can’t win them all Vegas.

Sure, they MIGHT make the playoffs, but it's not like they're gonna do anything in them. Can only go so far with pretty much 2 players, as good as they are.

Oilers look well-coached, it has to be said.
I think that's why the lack of depth isn't as detrimental as you'd expect. Tippett knows how to work with very little.

That's what I keep trying to tell myself. No depth. But what if needing depth is a lie? It's getting harder to believe these days.

They did lose last game 5-1 to the Kings of all teams...Vegas losing in regulation isn't a bad result. Vegas really isn't that great unless MAF is standing on his head
