"Draisaitl became the first NHL player to reach 20 goals in as few as 19 games since 1995-96, when Mario Lemieux scored 20 in 18 games for the Pittsburgh Penguins." His goals are not as pretty but this efficiency is beyond sane. Like seriously he had scored 2 times more goals than the top-10 goal scorer in the whole league. Him and McDavid combined have scored more goals than the whole team of Isles. And they weren't even on the same line prior to last night (or at least the last few games). | ||

The Oilers are boned in the playoffs until the NHL decides to get serious about its officiating, which they never will because the NHL is an old-boys club and every referee comes from one of 3 rural Canadian farming towns and sees it as his god-given duty to impose his will upon the game of hockey, as did his father, as did his grandfather. Really though, the 'let them play' mentality of refs in the post-season basically puts a guy like McDavid on the same level as whichever 3rd or 4th line scrub wants to take the rope and ride McDavid like a chuckwagon for 60 minutes a night. It's great! Parity! Effectively taking top-end skill out of the game is what the fans want! The Oilers can score really well, and that's about it. They are fast, but not big. They don't defend well enough to win those tight checking, last-mistake-loses type of games that the playoffs inevitably become. It could be a different story if NHL refs decided to call the rulebook, but that's not how it's done. Especially in the playoffs. So it won't be. The Oilers are built great for a videogame, but maybe not for the realities of the NHL. | ||

But you have multiple arguable top 5 guys in fox shesterkin panarin and more like top ten with Mika. And then a few other solid vets. They’re too heavy but it is working. | ||

Here is my thinking Rask is Back, Swayman is legit, Oilers have absolute shit between the pipes, oilers and Bruins have long history of making trades. Trade 1 (maybe slightly possible) Bruins send Ullmark and Debrursk Oilers send Hyman (keep 1 mil sal per year) and Puljujarvi Oilers also send Smith to Pho along with a second in exchange for one of those cute jars of sand so Mike can begin his retirement with other seniors. My thinking is Bruins don't need 3 goalies, Hymans deal looks a lot better 1 mill cheaper, 2 years ago no way bruins trading deb for Pulj now the ther is unbalanced, but both kinda disapointing an dbother RFAs. And then Debrusk is from Edmonton and they love that shit. Trade #2 (the never going to happen blockbuster) Bruins send Swayman (stud Young goalie Oilers have been wet dreaming about for at least 2 decades) Debrusk because the bruins don't want him and see above, Coyle, a first For Drasiatal, Mikesmith Bruins then send smith to Pho with a second for the cute jar of sand but demand the sand has a top quality ribbon around the top. Now I get it, you are talking about a top 3 player in the league but the Bruins are giving up maybe the best young goalie in the league at age 23 with this and next at 925,000 and then tons of control through RFA after. Coyle is solid and no on a terrible deal and the Oilers and either reclaim DeBrusk or be done with him after this year. Come on now, you know this would be some exciting shit! | ||

Thank you very much. For that to happen Vasy needs to pick up some of his mighty form. It seems stamkos is on fire lately and kuch still has some juice left in him. Other than that, i'm also hoping McJesus carries to at least round 2. | ||

Weird year to be an Oilers fan. On the one hand, I naturally expect to watch brutal officiating that puts some random third line goon on the same level of effectiveness as McDavid under the guise of "derp, let them playyyy" but on the other hand the Oilers feel like one of the few teams who can realistically take out the Avs, if it comes to that. | ||

Honestly, if the Flames wanted to win, they should have scored first in overtime, right? Bunch of losers. At least bitchy Flames fans have another non-goal to complain about for the next 18 years. The Oilers have won in 5. And, just as importantly, the Flames have lost in five. Eat a thousand dicks. | ||

Avs are scary and MacKinnon is gonna walk old man Keith all night, every night. But, the Oilers played the Avs very well this season (much better than they played the Flames) and Kuemper is not Markstrom. Season series was two OT games and then a decisive Oilers win. Edmonton is definitely the underdog but it should at least produce some exciting games. | ||

Oilers in these playoffs are 65 - 59 GF/GA (+6) McDavid is +15. The next best in EDM is Kulak with +7. Imagine being the best player in the world and having your GM balancing the game for you by adding Smith. My condolences go to Flaccid. | ||

A bit confused about the goal where Smith was just pushed into his goal. I thought for sure it would be disallowed | ||

Sub in Smith with any replacement-level goalie and that series is probably 2-2 right now. Game three was the real killer, where Edm had like 70% of the scoring chances and yet we'd get a Mike Smith muffin immediately after every Edm goal. McDavid skews the team stats by playing 50 minutes a night, imo. The bottom six isn't that bad - at least not as bad as previous years. I think they're a slightly deeper defence and consistent goaltending away from being good enough next time. | ||

He has some softies but over all he was fine. Oilers probably should have had game 3, game 4 was close but 1 and 2 were all avs. https://www.naturalstattrick.com/game.php?season=20212022&game=30320 That's fair. Though I'd argue that no team can expect to go deep in the playoffs when at least one softie is a given in every game. If anything, it's a testament to the Oilers' offence that they made it to the conference finals despite bleeding shitty goals in what is typical much more tightly defended, lower scoring hockey. I am convinced that the opposition's book on Smith read: "Just fire everything on net. From everywhere. Worst case scenario, he surrenders a couple of muffins. Best case scenario, he surrenders a couple of muffins AND we inflate his SV% enough that they keep starting him." Scenario two certainly played out. Plus the narrative that he is "a battler" - the kind of thing the smooth-brains in the Oilers exec like to look at as a positive rather than indicative of a goalie constantly fighting to get back in position after doing something bad. Don't get me wrong, I like Mike Smith and I wanted him to succeed. But he was a momentum-sucking black hole all playoffs. My postmortem on the 2021/2022 Oilers would say something about how, in the Avalanche, the Oilers finally found an opponent that could prevent them from outscoring their mistakes. The Oilers can usually count on a number of golden rush opportunities each game and the speed of the Avs defense allowed them to cut this down significantly. Already, their transition game was severely limited by the ineffectiveness of Darnel Nurse who, I assume, has to have been carrying some sort of injury into the playoffs. They rely heavily on him (have had to almost exclusively since the death of Oscar Klefbom) to create those quick transitions and they just didn't exist this series. Colorado showed why they are a more complete team and why they have been competitive year over year. Ideally, this would demonstrate to the Oilers' exec what needs to be changed for next year. But, in reality, that network of good ol' boys will still favour "saw him good" over things like analytics and career trajectories and keep doing things like pinning your post season hopes on the ghosts of Mike Smith and Duncan Keith. I don't think the Oilers need to do anything too drastic in the offseason. Ideally, Smith and Keith would retire, but hahaha, wishful thinking. I hope they don't bother chasing Evander Kane. He's gonna want way too much money now that he has benefitted from the McDavid bump and it's not worth it. They need a little bit of defensive depth - but some of that can come from within. Evan Bouchard can help share the puck-moving load provided he's not constantly saddled with Duncan Keith as a partner. The game slows to a crawl every time the puck touches Keith's stick and that plays against the Oilers' strengths. Plus Broberg might be ready for regular shifts in the NHL. My offseason list would be: 1) Find a reliable, at-least-league-average starter to give you consistent goaltending. I like Stuart Skinner and think he can easily play as the regular backup. 2) Re-sign some free agents, such as Yamamoto, Poolparty, and Kulak. They are all good, effective players. 3) If there is defensive depth available at a good price, sure. That's really it. Holloway will be in the NHL next season, that's another top 6 player, most likely. No need to think you need a bunch more talent in the top 6. Oh, and 4) Sign Jay Woodcroft to a 50 year coaching contract and make him grow a mustache. | ||

I just had such low expectations for Smith given his history and age that I was surprised he out played Markstrom (who also let in some real softies) after game one and that he was even with Avs as well. I would not be excited to have him as my teams goalie, I think this was the best possible you could get out of him at this stage. Kane is going to be interesting because all he does is score and play physical. Generally those players are loved by teammates and management, however with him teams want to get rid of his ASAP. Oilers might be able to sign him for under market based on performance. But any term would be scary because he seems to piss off his own team as much as others which is a lot! I would not want him for numerous reasons. The D situation is not good and I do not know how you get the oilers to stop over paying for old guys. Pending health of their superstars they will be a much watch team, but without a major back end upgrade I see this as their peak. | ||

And let's face it, Kane has too many gambling debts to play below market anywhere ;D. Though the nice thing about signing Kane is that any big signing bonus is basically a stimulus to the local economy - particularly when Rogers Place is nearby a couple casinos. As a fan, I'll say that this never once felt like 2006 - a time when there was every reason to expect that the Oilers could beat anyone in the playoffs. A team with peak Chris Pronger, good defense, and a super saiyan Dwayne Roloson felt a lot different than watching an Oilers team and thinking "let's see how many games they can manage to not blow before they get eliminated". Which is probably why I'm not even disappointed. | ||

Meanwhile Tampa's playoff streak features 9 teams now: Columbus - 4:1 Bruins - 4:1 Islanders (2) - 4:2; 4:3 Stars - 4:2 Panthers (2) - 4:2; 4:0 Hurricanes - 4:1 Hubs - 4:1 Leafs - 4:3 Rangers - 4:2 Avs could be number 10. total wins vs losses in this streak: 44-18 vs top NHL teams, that also win. That's quite the dominance if you ask me. In the last 8 seasons: 4 times cup finals; 6 times conference finals. This Jon Cooper fella might very well become the GOAT playoff coach should things continue like that. EDIT: Nah, Scotty Bowman is untouchable after a careful review. Still quite an impact in this day and age. | ||

The rangers are a pretty brutal 5v5 team and Cooper is easily one of the best coaches of the last 3 decades. their adjustments after game 2 were a masterclass in coaching. that last game was about as dominant as i've seen in a while. 100% would have been a 5 goal win if not for Shesterkin who is amazing. rangers will be interesting next year. They got to where they are by stellar play by their stars. But they have to decide what to do at the 2C spot and neither Strome or Copp inspires much confidence there.... I don't think 2 rounds of Chytil looking like an NHLer does either. Hopefully LAF contineus to take another big step forward. But at this point I am pretty convinced Kakko's ceiling is like 30 something points and it seems the Rangers do too. | ||

Maybe the collective moisture from the Flames' fans tears can help with the heatwave we're having in the city right now. I'm glad Edmonton re-signed Kane, simply because of the rumors he'd end up in Cgy if they didn't. At least we had one good year of the BoA. | ||

Plus he has one of the best moustaches in the game. He's earned a full time backup spot, imo. | ||

I'm stoked the Rangers got Trochek. He's great. Term blows, but if they don't win in the next 3 years, they're going to shed the older high end guys anyway so whatever. I feel like someone with his skillset always has some utility in the league and is always going to be tradeable. | ||

It is great for CLB but it kinda seems BS, I can not imagine the atmosphere is better than Calgary. Its kinda funny because there other signing is a massive over pay whixh is what you expect for a smaller market cold city with a history of losing. The conspiracy theorist in me wants to think someone is blackmaiking him or there is some off the books bonus! The big learning is extend or trade at the deadline. They could have had like 5 firsts or something stuoid instead they lost in the playoffs and got nothing. | ||

This thread is alive again? Nice! My boys from Edmonton are on a incredible streak (17-3-0) after a rough start (5-12-1) McJesus is almost his old self and does things like this beauty: Not only is it incredible intelligent, waiting for Nuge to get out the zone but then exploding on his feet doing McDavid things | ||
