Wow watching the Oilers there are things that are really consistent night to night.
Poolparty is completely invisible, as much as we complain about Bennett at least the kid does productive things when he's not scoring. Poolparty just looks awful. I have this feeling that he's playing like an unhappy player. Is Europe in his future as soon as next year. I mean his next contract is going to be low dollar, might as well go home and you know . . . not be in Edmonton.
Klefbom is bad, he's positionally bad, he makes bad decisions. His best year was the fluke year a couple of years ago. "But he's a top pairing defenseman in the making" bleated a bunch of Oilers fans. "No honey chil, he's a mid pairing guy on a bad team"
After starting with a goal and an assist against New Jersey, Lucic has gone back to only showing speed when he's muscling past McDavid on the way to the buffet table "Out the way Mr Lets Go, there's cake to be eaten" bellowed Lucic as he plucked a donut out of his double chin and scarfed it done as a pre buffet energy boost". Since New Jersey he's scored no goals, no assists and been a minus 4. But his intimidating glare makes catering work faster.
Without Connor McMylifesuckswhydidIsignthatdeal. Draisaitl is a 8.5 million dollar state of the art high tech stealthy boat anchor. You can just see the contempt dripping off of his face, "Ohne Connor bin ich nicts".
Poor Yamamoto, his one game miracle "He's arrived" screamed the Oilers fan base streak came to an end as Yamamoto stood on the deck of his career and light a mighty battleship is feeling it slowly dipping below the waves that is Oilers expectations.
After tonights game Cam Talbot could be heard grousing "only 76 games left til my contract expired. Then he started rocking and mumbling to himself as reality hit"
A great philosopher who time traveled to the future observed the Oilers and made the statement "Without Connor the Oilers are nothing, without the Oilers Connor exists". Then he jumped back in the time machine and philsophized
"Not even Connor can save the Oilers
No one can
No one"
Then he vanished back to pre Jesus Greece and was struck by lightning.
