Not really worried about what everyone else remembers?
Oilers have the best player in the world, maybe the best player there’s ever been. Along with another top 5 guy, and they can’t get passed the second round.

Oilers are a wild card team at best, and that's really sad.

Oilers just keep signing terrible or declining goalies... even their D isn't / hasn't been that bad, could overcome it, but goaltending is just awful. Campbell was already bad on Toronto before Edmonton signed him.
Coaching isn't the greatest either from what I've seen of their games.

They should play McDavid 30 mins a night to try and beat Wayne Gretzky's points/season

so... if oilers fail again in the playoffs, how much longer until McDavid wants out? it has to be beyond frustrating to be in his position.

I think he should leave this year, if he does not win the cup. They got Mc Jesus, they got a new rink, they got loyal fans, and even the hockey gods gave them four 1st round draft picks in a decade! I mean if you can't win with all, you ain't winning at all.

They made a good move to grab Ekholm and that should continue to pay off for years to come (his own play + mentorship). McDavid is 26, Drais is 27, RNH is 29, Hyman 30, Kane 31. Nurse 28, Ekholm 32. Their core is all in their prime and they should be a threat for the next 2-3 years. The big question is if He & Drais will re-sign in 2+ years, when their core might be on the downside of their careers...

What do you guys think of the Play In format for playoffs that the NBA uses ... would it work in NHL? It seems more exciting and you include 2 more teams in to the mix. Almost always 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th seeds are pretty close and it seems like an exciting way to get the playoffs started. It works like this and the 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th team has a bit of a run off to settle 7th seed and 8th seed for the usual playoff format.
NBA Play-In Tournament
The NBA Play-In Tournament commences after the regular season and before the playoffs begin. This tournament features a game between the 9th and 10th-seeded teams and the 7th and 8th-seeded teams. The play-in tournament format follows the structure:
9th vs. 10th winner will face loser of 7th vs 8th
9th vs. 10th loser out of contention
7th vs. 8th winner will automatically be the 7th seed in their conference and faces the number two seed in the first round of the playoffs
7th vs. 8th loser will face the winner of the 9th vs. 10th for the last eighth and last spot of the playoffs in their conference
The other thing I wish was that the season wasn't so damn long ... 82 games is a bit too much for me before playoffs. Even 72 would be enough for me, save the players for the gruelling playoff intensity. But yah, no way owners for go for this and lose 5 home game revenue.

Sens trying so hard to not win the game.. I feel bad for their goalie, he played really well
My favourite thing about beating teams with Tkachuks on them, is knowing that they'll spend their night screaming into a pillow. Tears will be flowing tonight!
