I don’t think that’s our biggest challenge, all our goaltenders are awesome. It’s needing more goals by us, staying out of the penalty box (Oilers are 25% on PP) and getting our own PP working. We can’t run and gun and expect to out score McJesus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This thread started so we could talk, and prognosticate about the upcoming series. As for best player in the world, McDavid is. However this is a team sport and one player, does not make team. In saying that, Sid basically put his team on his back this year, at 36 years old, and nearly dragged them into the playoffs. A champion team will beat a team of champions. Are the oilers a champion team ? No, they have not won a championship. Are we a champion team ? No we have not won a championship. I hope this is going to be a hard fought series. I hope that we have a better overall team game than they do in this series. One way or another this is great a experience for our playing group. Every game they play this offseason bodes well for the future. I know you're referencing this particular group, but they are a championship org and actually have one of them behind the bench 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Simpsons job is to talk during whistles or lulls, so the play by play can give his voice a rest. But in my opinion Simpson is the worst of the bunch. Guaranteed he is bawling with another Leafs disappointment. Dude won a cup in Edmonton, but is the biggest and most biased leafs fan ever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really impressive was the 1990 without gretz. However those teams had more than mediocre goal tending and defense. With all due respect, that is not the case now.

Nothing more than the Canucks since their 80s glory days. The Leafs and Canadiens are Championship teams as well.

I mean they still have a "welcome to Edmonton city of champions" sign when you hit the city limits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they had that championship pedigree the whole time they would not have made a mockery of the draft lotto system not so long ago. Their bench champion is probably less relevant than our bench champions. come on man I think sometimes you come in here because you enjoy stirring the pot.
