I don't know you from a hole in the wall, but I do know some long time Oilers fans - and their take? They are embarrassed that their captain pouted to the dressing room instead of being a man.

His assist totals were through the roof, this season compared to years past. Does that not have anything to do with his supporting cast? Guys like Bouchard and Hyman breaking out? Come on that's weak. He has zero business getting more love than Crosby or even Ovi did. The Dale Hawrerchuk, Dionne (sorry Marcel that's rude) of his generation. Kucherov should be getting as much love. Edited June 25 by IBatch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone who grew up in the MTL/NYI/EDM dynastie's, can tell you this for free. McDavid blew it. Badly. One more crack at it, and that teams dismantling.

DrJockitch Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 Why would anyone care if he came out to collect the Conn Smyth. I don't like the man, though can recognize what a good player he is despite my dislike. I think he is a spoiled, whiny prick but don't care that he didn't go out for the Conn Smyth. Man that would be awful having to go out on the ice after finally getting off while the other team celebrates. One of the Edmonton press who got to vote for CS voted for 1.McDavid 2.Hyman 3.Skinner. It is a meaningless trophy when the biased press treats it that way anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they were lucky to get by vancouver and weren't a stanley cup calibre team. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We would likely won't be as good next season (atleast regular season wise). The top 5 teams in Pacific should be Vegas, Edmonton, us, LA or Seattle. To ensure making the playoffs, we need to finish atleast 3rd in the Pacific. I hope we can keep up what we did and build on the success we have this year. I don't see us winning the Pacific again next season. But if we can finish with 100 points or more and qualify for the playoffs, I can see us go on a bit of run next year.

nuckin_futz Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 (edited) From the Beaverton .............. “You should root for the Oilers because they’re Canadian,” says man who has confused this with the ****ing Olympics TORONTO/CALGARY/VANCOUVER/MONTREAL/OTTAWA/WINNIPEG – Casual hockey fan David Hildebrandt was surprised to discover that you are not routing for the Canadian team in the Stanley Cup Finals, because apparently this city based hockey competition is now the god dam Olympic Games. “Don’t you want a Canadian team to win for the first time since 1993,” he said casually, when he might as well suggest you drink hemlock or go down Niagara Falls in a barrel. “Where’s your sense of Patriotism?” Said the fucknuckle who believes that cheering for a specific team in the NHL is the same as routing for whoever has a maple leaf on their chest in a sport you’ve never heard of before. Hildebrandt is far from alone. Many in the media have expressed surprise that a Boston pizza commercial and nationalist guilt campaign has not been enough to get fans of the other Canadian teams to overcome years of playoff battles, geographical based hatred and petty social media disputes. “Oilers fans have repeatedly verbally attacked me, my physical appearance, my political beliefs and my children all because I cheer for the Leafs. But sure. Go Oilers I guess,” said Mark Hudson. At press time Oilers fans who would rather pour bleach in their eyes than watch the Leafs win a Cup were pretending to be upset about this.

I also dont think they will win 16 in a row again. I think they should still be a lock for another 100+ point season. Unless McDavid/Draisaitl miss significant time, then all bets are off.

That would screw the oils if he doesn't return on time or 100%. Skinner can get even worse, which won't be a surprise. Don't expect Nurse to improve. Junk vets like Perry and Kane will be done. Nux surgery isn't done but I'm confident in PA in making the team even better since they have more cap to work with than last yr. JR surgery isn't over.
