Edmonton is No Good XI: Mud, Sweatpants and Tiers

[direwolf]

Well this move is clearly gonna vault them straight to the finals. Might as well just award them the Cup now.

I’d second that. The oilers should not be this heavily favored in a rink we struggle in and a team that’s first overall. It’s somewhat ridiculous.

Mostly because it’s known that the officiating is in the Oilers back pocket. Continuously trying to get a really bad team to the promise land.

I dislike the Oilers and all things Edmonton as much as anyone. I despise them. I find it real hard to believe though that Bettman, or some high up NHL exec, whispers into Walkom's ear about calls going Oilers way. I mean, I know the NHL behaves like a bush league at times, but there's no way this is happening. If this ever got out as fact, all credibility is shot.

I think it's more a case of piss poor officiating across the league. It's consistent, every game, every team.

The oilers are literally near the bottom of power play opportunities this year. They had 70 going into the game tonight, the flames had 84, the bruins had 110.

Complaining about yourself without the self reflection to know it...so Edmonton.

A meaningless number in itself. Where do they rank for power play opportunities against? Where do they rank in the number of actual infractions committed for and against? (Hint: You'll never know, because the league doesn't keep any public stats about errors by officials.)

They are 12th in net penalty differential. Thats about as good as they have ever been in the last 5 years on that metric.

They sure aren't getting the avalanche treatment. Colorado was first or 2nd like 3-4 years in a row in penalty differential.

Oilers must be on a winning streak - Oil fans are popping out of the woodwork again.

Welcome back guys!

The assumption of an “Avalanche treatment” analysis assumes all teams deserve the same number of power plays. Are you suggesting the league favours the Colorado Avalanche and if so, why?

Can’t speak for others, but I’ve been here the whole time, including when we had a slow start once again. This is likely my last season on CP so I’m not staying mute whatever the scoreboard on the night says. In fact, since your welcome back seems so genuine, I may even comment more often. Thanks Enoch!

I wonder if the media should start calling Kucherov or MacKinnon the best player in the world. Better PPG and PP60 than McDavid. And of course, MacKinnon has more points period.

[TheIronMaiden]

Just a reminder that Edmonton is No Good

You're going to stay here forever.

Rather cowardly group aren’t they? I suppose it figures. Not even good at being consistent

[topfiverecords]

You'd think out of a million people in Edmonton that there would be one of them with the elementary ability to build a dedicated discussion forum for their team.

You posted about the Bowman hire in late October and then waited until they won a game late in November to post again (except for one post where you tried to make a funny about the Flames winning in a fashion attributed to the Oil).

Deconstruction underway!

Travis dermott lost on waivers to wild!
