  1. Oilers are going to get swept in 4 games…they are far to undisciplined and far to penalty-prone and the worst thing of all is that their entire Gameplan revolves around Interference and setting Illegal Pickplays to give Mcdavid and Leon just that 1-2 extra steps they need to break free from hardworking clean checking pressure…. so if the Reffs are simply honest and straight on that single issue the Oilers are not going far….they have to invest in a #1 Goalie and in a legitimate SYSTEM instead of trying to play River Hockey wiht no real System beyond Attaboys and Back-claps…..

  2. Would it not be better to have Nuge on wing and Dicky in the middle? Ya Rico should just be injury replacement role.

  3. Congrats on the 10k! Stoked to have Leon back and picks for the positive vibes. šŸŽ‰šŸ™šŸ¼šŸ§”šŸ’™ prize idea for the bracket… Stanley cup final tickets!!!….or a framed pic of the cats 🤩

  4. Kris Knobloch confirmed everything about Leon Draistail at the news conference after the game last night and Leon Draistail is expected to return to the Edmonton Oilers lineup for game 2 and 3 against the Anaheim Ducks series

  5. Austin nice to see you reach 10k I subbed around 1k hope for more success for you.

    Quick question: is there a reward for the hockey pool? No worries if not

  6. Imo Henrique should be behind Samanski, Jones and Lazar in the pecking order. Too slow! Lazar is even a better faceoff man, grinder and physical player than Henrique.

  7. 100% in Panick mode! Nuge needs 3 points a game! Hes a 1st overall pick! 😭 he needs to move his hot piece a hh

  8. Not impressed with Ike Howard. He’s brutal along the boards for a winger and seems to take perimeter low chance shots that are not going to produce at the nhl level. I am watching Sam O’Reilly play tonight in the OHL playoffs and he has a much higher ceiling, imo. Early to tell, but if Howard doesn’t produce, it might look like we have lost that trade in what we forgo to have offensive help this postseason.

  9. Kings in 7, Oilers in 7, Mammoth in 6, Wild in 6.

    Flyers in 7, Sabres in 5, Senators in 7, Canadiens in 6.

    I'm picking the Oilers and Kings no matter what in these playoffs and expect to see a Kings/Oilers conference final.

  10. Let’s hope they don’t immediately go to the ā€œnuclear option ā€œ by loading up Draisaitl and McDavid. The positives that have come from Draisaitl’s absence, are the 3rd and 4th lines finally getting time to gel and develop style and personality. They are playing with a noticeable confidence as a result of knowing that they will get ice time. My biggest concern is that they revert to 29 and 97 getting the lion’s share of ice time and alienating some of the other players. This has been a major issue in the past.

  11. Picks sits higher than Jarry Lewis
    At least Picks brings a winning record in the post season with timely saves and is really respected by the boys🫔

  12. I know that they having Henrique in the lineup kind of sucks at this point in time, but with him in the lineup and him being kind of on that third line. Let’s be honest here, if they got Nuge and Roslovic together, you can put Draisaitl or McDavid with them for certain shifts. Once Dickinson comes back, you’re looking at
    Savoie – McDavid – Hyman
    Pods – Drai – Kapanen/Roslovic
    Nuge – Dickinson – Kapanen/Roslovic
    Dach – Samanski – Frederic
    That’s a deep forward core if everyone stays healthy. Our defense, I’ve had no complaints about for a while now which is kind of new to me. And Ingram has been more than solid.
    I think a key to the series is getting on Dostal quick. If there’s anything I know about the Oilers is they could make a goalie look extremely bad. Oil in 5
