3.0 was the Hall, RNH, Eberle, Yakupov, Schultz dynasty circa 2012-14
4.0 was the McDavid, Hall, Draisaitl, RNH, Klefbom era, circa 1015-19

1.0... "Honestly, I see 600 goals and 1,300 points!"
2.0... Oil Change - here come the Oilers!
3.0... Three #1 overalls - "it isn't a question of if, but how many!"
4.0... McGenerational! "It's a big change in Alberta, and it won't be changing back soon!"

The inevitable next rebuild will be 5.0 IMO.

The one consistency, through each of the first 4 rebuilds, is the unbridled bravado - even though they hadn't accomplished a thing yet, each new iteration was trumpeted in with chest pounding, unearned accolades, claims of grandeur, and absolute, blind arrogance.

And that is why we should never feel pity for their fans. ZERO humility, despite being the laughing stock of the NHL for 13 years and counting.

How can Hall and Eberle be part of two rebuilds. That’s just growth or lack there of. A rebuild is when you trade away core assets for picks. Penner joined the oilers in 07 or 08 and Hemsky wasn’t traded away until 2014. Your rebuild 2.0 doesn’t really exist. The first rebuild didn’t really even start until 09 when they traded Smyth away.

Oilers are playing like they're already in tank mode.

Edmonton is so no good that we need to move alberta’s Capital to red deer

Hitch looked pretty disgusted.


This is as much on Hitch as it is on the "Leadership" of the team, they've been putting out pitiful efforts for the last bunch of weeks, and Klefbom's injury isn't an excuse. they're playing like an entitled bunch of players with their give a crap meter set on low.

Did they just slap someone's jacket on Anderson? His razor needs sharpening too.

CHED guy: "Race for the wildcard spot is a Turtle Derby."

[MrMike]

It makes me laugh that Nugent Hopkins is considered in the "Big Three"

[jg13]

Wow that stat lol

It's been 7 games in a row since the Oilers have scored a goal that didn't involved McDavid, Draisaitl or RNH.

Holy frack, tell me Glenn Anderson isn’t just a little full of himself. He’s gonna wear his arm out patting himself on the back.

I was at the Ric Flair one-on-one show in Edmonton tonight, and he ended the show by shouting to the crowd "When are you guys ever going to make the playoffs? Christ!"

But seriously guy is a living example of the long term impact and danger of nose beers

[Hockey_Ninja]

Shoutout to the drunk Oiler fan who yelled "Let's Go Oilers" over and over into my face at the train station

[burn_this_city]

Hitch alluding to the roster being garbage.

[Reggie Dunlop]

If I'm Hitch, I'm sitting McDavid and Draisaitl next game.

When you’ve been a find upstanding guy like this after a fling gone sideways, and neglecting responsibilities, you’re allowed to be cocky, right?

Ken Hitchcock was about as candid as he could be essentially said the answers are not in the room.
