😁😁😁Oilers are not good enough to win the Stanley Cup in 2024 and 2026. Hyman, McDavid, and Draisaitl will disappear in the playoffs like always.
I know Connor Brown ain't good enough for it.
BUUUUUUSSSSSSST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Starting to get frustrated with this team and how its run. Considering the terrible start they had the audacity to raise the prices for season tickets by about 17%, and playoff tickets are double from last run for some seats. Katz is money hungry, eventually we will end up being Leafs home games all corporate.
All depends on a few things number one is if Skinner is on his game or not during playoffs. Because if he is on then yes oilers have a good shot. If not then can pichard step up he looked amazing against penguins but he also has some bad games. Another factor is Kane if he is mostly healthy he could be a huge x factor. Perry could be another x factor. Then of course oilers top players have to be bringing there A game. I would of been alot more confident if oilers got Tanev but hopefully the d can keep to the system and not get exposed. Right now I would give oilers 40% chance of making it to the Stanley cup. If they make it that far I like their chances

No they are not! They are too weak, defensively the whole team. I have no problem with the goalies, it’s the defenceman and especially the forwards.
No they are not good they suck bad
The real problem is the Oilers can't score on teams that collapse in front of the net. They can't get passes a cross, they don't shoot, the shots they do take are low risk, and they get stuck in offensive mode. Then a bad pass gets intercepted, its 2-1 or a breakaway the other way and it's in.
If they can't find a ways to get tipped pucks and deflections into the net, they will have a hard time,
Not with Skinner as the starter. He’s a backup that’s default to the #1 role. He’s over hyped as usual. I rather have Pickard and Campbell as our tandem going to the playoffs.
Oilers are entertainers not troopers…early exit.
Anything can happen playoffs are a total different game if they go in healthy Skinner is good then bad his back up has looked good pikerd anyway it always boils down to goaltending in playoffs who ever is hot that team rides with goaltending being hot I use the year Montreal Canadiens Carrie Price was not Perry and Eric stall were both brought in for playoffs and they rolled with price who was super hot they had a good run till price was hurt dirty and it just deflated Montreal but Perry and stall and with Price playing hot Montreal could have won cup they were on a tear and because goaltending was hot
They could win it, if they can bring their best game consistently throughout the playoffs. That has been a problem. When they are one step below their best glaring weaknesses appear: they can't break out against an aggressive forecheck, they can't penetrate a tight defense, and they give up way too many odd man rushes, among other problems. Other teams are going to be playing at their peak too, and the Oilers will have to find the top gear and stay there if they want to have a chance.
Nope not at all
Nope not enough
