In a world where the oilers do not make the Hall, Reinhart and Eberle trades and they actually pony up Nurse for Hamilton they potentially have

Draisaitl McDavid Eberle
Hall Nugent-Hopkins Barzal

As their top six with Hamilton on the backend.

Chiarelli will be my favourite Oiler GM of all time, he makes Tambellini look like Sam Pollack

Kypreos is a dummy. Saying Tkachuk should have fought with that extra from Quest for Fire. Tkachuk played him like a friggin fiddle.

Too many blows to his head during his days in the NHL.

So if they lose he's fired? I have to think Gretzky will be the replacement. You just know that Katz has been dying for Gretzky or Messier to coach his team.

I don't see how McLellan would be anything other than relieved. I bet he will go back to his SJ flat and sip chardonnay the evening through. He will lament taking that job for the rest of his life. How do you accomplish anything in Edmonton? He probably hates his situation more than Edmonton fans hate him.

Strange from Tychkowski. If I recall correctly he's usually got a pretty humble take on the Oilers.

Doesn't McLellan have the largest contract in the league after Babcock?

I still don't get it. How can you point a finger at Tkachuk for 'not answering the bell' when a useless goon challenges you, for nothing more than taking a poke at McDavid, when the big nasty German didn't want to answer the bell for his slewfoot on Tkachuk?


Talk about being a coward - Draisaitl getting repeatedly punched in the face reminded me of one of the Sedins being punched in the face by Marchand.



The way that entire city is riled up, you have to figure that the Flames will end up dressing Peluso and Prout for that game. Fans want blood. Media wants blood. The pressure is going to be on Kassian, Nurse and Lucic to do something.


I am just amazed at the complete hypocrisy coming from that city. Pay Tkachuk his money. He earned it.

My new favorite E=NG stat:

The Flames have 5 players over 20 points. The Oilers have 3 players over 10.

If anyone should be answering the bell, it should be Kassian who needs to take on Peluso for assaulting Tkachuk. And rather not on the ice as it would be detrimental to the Flames to carry Peluso for a game, but in a back alley or something.

For all those Oiler fans and media taking shots at Tkachuk for not fighting a goon and protecting his head on the ice, I wonder how they feel about Nurse taking a cowardly punch at Bennett after the officials broke up the fight. And then mouthing off to the refs after. That was a punk ass move as well.

Sip to 1:07

Not really. He was okay a few years ago but ever since they fluked their way into the playoffs he’s been on of their biggest cheerleaders. Just another name on a long list of ridiculous Edmonton media personnel.

Oilers media got too caught up in the glory of another BOA win when the Oilers got up 2-0 and when reality came crashing down at the end they were upset and diverted their attention to the Flames rather than focus on why the Oilers could get manhandled so badly in the 3rd period of the game. Oilers fans and media have to accept that teams aren't going to give McDavid a free ride every night. Crosby had to put up with a hell of a lot more than McDavid has in his career to date and I think Oilers fans have unrealistic expectations that he's untouchable in games. It's not like he's little Johnny Gaudreau as he's a big and strong man and doesn't need to be handled with kid gloves. I don't think he has to fight but the kid is so passive like the Sedins and teams are going to take advantage of that.
