But remember…..best player in the world, probably ever in the existence of hockey. So is Mavi going to demand those above him in scoring Dig In less?

If they wanted the 130 point McDavid they should have paid 16+ mil. They only paid for the B tier version so this is the McDavid they get instead.

Silly oilaz.

Oilers have 2W and 3 L, despite no back to backs (yet 3 games in NYC) and the only playoff team from last year they have faced are the 91 point Devs


still I'm guessing this is their best start in years so I don't know what to think

Oh no.. even putting in Pickard isn't helping things.

9 games between the rookies (Howard scratched today) and still zeroes across the board.

But worry not, Curtis Lazar (how is he still in the nhl?) is here to chip in offense!

But man…. That Lazar celly…. He’s really digging in there. Just goes to show every player on that team is committed to personal stats and not team wins.

Bouche Bomb also electric to start the season,

5G - 0g, 0a 0pts, -3, playing an average of over 25 mins a night. You play Bouchard over 25 mins a night you are going to lose a ton of hockey games.

But Oiler fans told me he was a lock for Team Canada.

10.5M when they could have had 4 firsts and the cap space

If anyone needs a chuckle go spend 5 mins on HFOilers…….

Oil fans convinced that they should trade for Merzlikins, one fan suggest the deal would be Pickard, Janmark to Columbus and Merzlikins to the Oilers with CBJ retaining 50% of his contract.

Another hockey expert also thinks they need another top 6 forward………holy moly.

Is there anyone in that fan base that has any hockey knowledge?

Oh he is, because Mavi won’t play unless they take Boo Boo.

I just listened to CHUD. Now that’s entertainment! According to Bob Stuffer, the Coil’s schedule has been terrible. Hilarious when you compare it to the Flames’ schedule.

Also, during the post game show, Rob Brown must’ve said "Connor & Leon about twenty seven times. Only those two clowns are so f’n amazing and special that you need only to refer to them by their first names. Just like Pelé, Ronaldo, Neymar, and Ronaldinho have been. That is so friggin’ creepy and really just the definition of cringe…


From now on, the 'Coil should be just be known as Conna, Leon & the peons…

In fairness, you take those two away and that is an ECHL caliber roster. But it gets to be a little much. Both averaging almost 24 mins a game (over that for Mavi), not sustainable. But hey…. Oilayyyyyys gonna Oil.

How dare the schedule maker put them up against teams with goaltending, depth, coaching and ones that are generally just better.

Oilers lose again, haha!


Rough start to the season for the so-called Cup favourites over these first few games. So far these clowns don't look much like contenders to me. McLoser is still basically carrying them, but is currently looking like ass with 0 goals through 5 games.

Facing the flames (last), bubble Canucks, shutout king rangers, islanders (2nd last at the time) and devils with rest days between all the games is harsh scheduling?

Our schedule started with 3 games in 3.5 days followed by another back to back, lol.

McDavid signing on for another two years is the biggest joke here. What a putz.

Hopefully somebody in the west can stop these morons from getting to the finals this year.

Brutal watching them just breeze through the 1st three rounds the last two seasons.

Can they capture lightning in a bottle three times in a row? Highly doubtful. I don't think this pathetic bunch of losers are getting anywhere near the finals this year. I know it's only 5 games in, but so far this team looks like it might struggle to even make the playoffs, let alone go on another deep run.


The wonder twins already look like their give-a-crap metre is at 0. Their supporting cast are barely AHL-calibre, and their goaltending is sub-par at best. This is not a contender by any stretch.

Brutal start to the year for their core.


McDavid no goals 7 assists in 5 games and a -1
Draisaitl 3 goals and a assist in 5 games and a -1
Hopkins is a surprise with 4 goals and 2 assists and a -1
Bouchard zero points and a -1 and he's been awful.
