Yup, every single game. Oilers down a goal or two? Give them a couple McPPs to get them back in it. Oilers up by a goal? Look the other way anytime an Oiler commits an infraction. You can set your watch by it.

And of course the HNIC crew are basically imploring fans to stuff the ballot box to get more of their beloved Oilers to the all star game. I pray I live long enought to see that ####hole franchise go through another decade of darkness, minus all the first overall picks.

At least they're not even the best in western Canada

Winnipeg and Vancouver are both better and have shown they can beat those ####s handily.

Pretty amazing the fortune that just continues to flow their way for whatever reason. Whatever floats your boat, nhl. You won't be able to will these innate losers in the postseason though (if they make it)

Give it a couple of years when they lose either one or both of McLotteryball and Pissy. Until then, the league and the officials will do everything they can to get these reprehensible losers into the playoffs. If they miss or bow out in the 1st or 2nd round again, I predict at least one of the Wonder Twins will demand a trade this summer.

Sadly, at this point it's starting to look like they'll probably make the playoffs. Thankfully it'll be a waste of 8 days. Any one of the top teams in the west would dismantle that garbage team in 6 games or less.

I hope you're right. If my math is correct, the Oilers have won 15 of their last 18. Sad to say, but they look legit. And they're getting goaltending. And, as always, the zebras love them.

Hilarious. The Cup contending Oilers needed powerplays to defeat one of the worst teams in the East. Such an amazing, top notch team.

Hottest of takes from my dealer in Vegas. The game was on, she was a fan and I asked if any players ever came into the casino (Park MGM). She said the only one she say was Mark Stone. The hot take? “He’s so handsome”.

The Canucks and Devils sure showed offense again as they did when they played in Vancouver. The visitors (Canucks) scored 6 goals just as New Jersey did a month earlier. Miller and Pettersen each had 2g and 1a and Quinn Hughes had 3 assists in the Canucks 6-4 win. The shots were 42-25 for the Canucks, Daws played well in the Devils net despite the loss.

Montembault was a stud in the Habs net as they won 4-3 in the SO. The Rangers had 48 shots to the Habs 30 shots. Both teams were perfect on the PK.

The Wild won 4-3 in OT over the BJs. The big stat in this game had Fleury and getting the win to put in a tie with Patrick Roy for 2nd place on the all time goalie win list at 551. Rosi scored the GWG while the BJs Cole Sillinger gets the hat trick.
