McDavid has 92 points in 50 games. That's what's "right" with this team.

The crash happened with the coaster's original cars, which were replaced with modifications for safety

Apparently WEM refused the request of a bench to honour the victims

I mean, that is pretty understandable. It would be like an airline having a memorial for crash victims on their planes... not exactly what you want to see.

And even in a season where Connor McDavid looks poised to reach statistical heights not seen in nearly three decades, Woodcroft concedes there are times hockey's best is taken for granted.

"Top of his field," the Oilers' second-year bench boss said of Edmonton's captain. "You almost become numb to the great things that he does because he just does it every day. I would compare that to someone who lives at the foot of Mount Everest.
Sure, Jan.

Good grief, the Oilers are insufferable. Can’t wait to see those losers get demolished again by the true elite teams in the west.

Kucherov had 128 points not 3 years ago. Don't recall the media salivating like this over him.

McDavids career high is 123.

I know this is the Oilers are no good thread...but my worry is that there being no actual elite team in the West this year gives them their best shot of playoff success.

Hopefully I'm wrong but that's my underlying concern.

No team in the pacific is legit - including the Oilers

But they have the stupid McPP and play their guy 30 minutes

When the Avs get healthy with their deadline additions they'll F up any pacific opponent

Sportsnet Headline: Connor McDavid continuing to raise the bar: 'We need to talk about it more'

No, we really don't. MacLean thinks of an excuse to bring up his boy during every intermission on HNIC.
