The Edmonton Oilers are chaos and brilliance rolled into one. McDavid and Draisaitl are unstoppable, but can shaky defense and goaltending hold them back from a Stanley Cup run?

I hate the Oilers for no reason other than they should be a great team and they should be a bad team somehow they are both at the same time. If they got rid of Nurse and all the defensive deadweight along with Skinner they would be unstoppable.
Oilers just need to Trade that goofy ahh goalie.
Yea ok get back to us in a few weeks, see how that goes .
Thee most entertaining show in sports history!!!
R we not gonna talk about the bottom 6 they r playing very good rn henrique brown and janmark
They will never lift a cupš® so they will never be considered elite
Oiler fan here.. itās a roller coaster
Most teams don't make the final 4 when down their 1d for the entire playoffs, while simultaneously losing their starting goalie but this team is going to.
Really well put together! Great narration, subbed! š¤
2 Shutouts since. LETS GO!
Oh man the age!
Stuart Skinner hasnāt let up a goal since I made this video š
This didnāt age well. Lots of depth scoring last few games lol @2:00
If the Oilers start a series down by 2, they can still win in 6 games. Down 3-0? They can take it to 7. We might not sweep a a series, but we can do so (like gentlemen) if we win at least one game early and on the road. The oilers play best when they are down in a game or a series, because theyāve seen enough of the competitionās success and are capable of adapting their play to come back from deficits as bad as 3 goals, or 3 games.
The Oilers have been underdogs for each of these series, and I hope they are considered underdogs until the cup final – they feed off of the doubt, and make make the doubters eat their words. The core of this team will not lose if they make it to the Cup Final, and I hope itās a revenge match against the Panthers.
Skinner shut everyone up.
the oilers have always been the oilers' worst enemy lol
Dude you need way more than one good player to win a Super Bowl. Most of the elite quarterbacks in the league right now donāt have a Super Bowl. Teams who win are always deep and have lots of good players.
Starting to show up?? Look at the goals by player. After only 10 games, nine players had 3 or more goals.
I think you mean best…
Well Skinner proved everyone wrongā¦
Well skinner did just do back to back shutouts and if they could somehow keep the momentum going thereās no doubt they could actually make it all the way this time
Whenever they do something cool, I just tell everybody āThatās the oilers for yaā. It just kinda makes sense at this point
Well, the last two games of the Vegas series looked pretty good, with Skinner getting back to back shut outs.
The skinner segment is hilarious to watch after the back to back shutouts š
This playoff run has shown that the oilers do have depth, it's just all offensive depth.
Sounds like a myopic Leafs fan !!!!
This video didnāt age well.
As a oilers fan if they donāt win this year itās going to be a while before we come back I feel like. But then again we win this year because we dig the fuck in right fucking now
the two shutouts by stu just shows…. take him out of the equation by limiting shots and playing team defense and stu can get shutouts and the team can win.
McDavid and Draisaitl have not been carrying the team this year. It's a much bigger team effort in the playoffs. Depth scoring from every line and the dmen too!
Oilers in games 1-3 are a crap shoot. Oilers in games 4-7 are fierce!
5:20 Skinner does the right move. He knows that there is less than a second on the timer. He needs Smith to miss the shot, nothing else matters because no one is around to push it in. He closes the angle and Smith shots. wide open. It's not his fault that a friendly stick is in the way.
I'm a hockey fan and love watching Edmonton. You never know who they are, the Harlem Globetrotters some nights and then the Washington Generals other nights. But it's never boring.
I think too many people pick on the goaltenders but as this video notes, the team makes far too many defensive lapses, letting other team's stars walk right in and score.
Given how difficult it seems for Edmonton to trade/sign a top flight defenceman, they need to put more emphasis on drafting one, instead of selecting them in 6th or 7th round, as has been the case for all but two of the d-men drafted in the last 5 years. One of those two was Broberg, who the Oilers let go to St. Louis by not matching their offer.
Let's go oilers
The Oilers are killing it right now. And Skinner was on fire last game.. They're gonna bring the cup back to home soil, where it belongs! š„šØš¦
McJesus needs to realize hes better and be confident he can win the cup!
Leafs are the most confusing!
I think pickard is doing better in playoffs.
I don't get the narrative that Skinner fucked up on the buzzer beater goal vs Vegas. He knew there wasnt time for anything more than 1 shot from Smith, so he challenged him hard and forced him to a bad angle. His play there worked, and if Drai didn't tip it then the time woulda ran out with the puck going harmlessly through the crease.
I liked the breakdown of hockey compared to other sports where 1 or 2 star players can't just carry a team to victory. Too many casual fans do not understand this.
Skinner can be very hit or miss. When he's having a good night it's hard to score on him. But when he's having an off night, everything ends up in the back of his net. And you never know what kind of night it's going to be for him. It may appear he is having a good night, but one goal, and suddenly it's like he forgets how to be a goaltender. If he could get locked in, and have mostly good nights, the Oilers have a great shot of winning the Stanley cup. He kind of reminds me of Dwayne Roloson. Roloson was also hit or miss. In the 2006 cup finals, Roloson was hit or miss, thankfully he was able to pull it together most of the time. And had he not got injured in the first game of the final series, I believe Edmonton would have won the cup that year. If our current lineup of defensemen can do their jobs in front of Skinner, and not leave it solely up to him to stop the opposing team from scoring, I believe we stand a good chance of winning the cup this year. But unfortunately, only time will tell.
