Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl (the best 2 players in the league) have a playoff game scheduled at almost 11pm eastern on a Sunday night
Gary Bettman is one very intelligent man
I really hope the extra 700K was worth it for Dylan Holloway and his agent to leave a perennial cup contender for an aging basement team
Money makes people do crazy things
Rogers Place hasn’t stop buzzing since the puck was dropped and we’re down 3-0
This is the fanbase that deserves a Stanley Cup man. Not the irrelevant Florida team
I better not see any “Give Bowman a shot and stop being so damn negative” bullshit from anyone one of you Oilers fans
Fuck him and keep him the fuck out of our city
Craig Conroy purposely didn’t take the Oilers offer for Tanev (best offer) cause of the rivalry. Then decided to trade his best asset in Hanifin to a division rival for absolute peanuts
Craig Conroy is either a genius or an idiot and he’s definitely not a genius
Start 2-9-1, coach fired, down 3-2 to Vancouver, Pickard has to play, down 2-1 to Dallas, Down 3-0 to Florida and now game 7 in the cup finals
This script holy
For someone who hasn’t played meaningful NHL games in months and was thrown into the midst of the WCF on short notice
I thought Philip Broberg played well, good on em
They’ve forgotten about you 74.
They say you can’t handle the pressure 74.
They said you can’t make a save 74.
They say you're overrated 74.
They say the series is over 74.
How will you respond 74? 👀
Leon Draisaitl:
• Two 105+ point seasons
• 50 Goal season
•Art Ross trophy winner
Matthews, Mackinnon, Eichel and Panarin combined:
•ZERO 100 point seasons
•ZERO 50 goal seasons
•ZERO Art Ross trophies
Quit sleeping on Leon Draisaitl.
#LetsGoOilers
To the worst and most annoying fanbase in the entire league. We are so honoured to eliminate you 👍. All that cockiness and yapping, SEE YOU THE FUCK LATERRRRRRRR
Philip Broberg with the same number of playoff goals as Auston Matthews, Elias Pettersen and Mitch Marner. He’s played 2 games 👀
“Bustberg” they called him 🤫🤫🤫
Broberg hasn’t changed his mind about wanting to leave according to Friedman. The Blues wanted Holloway and Broberg in a package for Pavel Buchnevich
What the fuck Holland?
The
#TBLightning
have cleared $11.15M in cap space for next season in a matter of minutes with the Mikhail Sergachev and Tanner Jeannot trades.
No salary retained in either case.
Hockey world waits for
#Oilers
to render decisions Tuesday on
#stlblues
offer sheets to Philip Broberg and Dylan Holloway.
Recent trades mean everything is still on the table cap-wise, but I wouldn't be surprised if both Broberg and Holloway become Blues tomorrow.
We'll see.
“Oilers will fold against the Kings”
“The Flames are way too strong for the Oilers to handle”
Now it’s “The Avalanche will absolutely run through the Oilers”
Heard it all and here we are. We ain’t scared 😈😈
Nobody deserves this WCF appearances more than Ryan Nugent-Hopkins. He’s been through years of failure with this team and never complained once. Even signed up for 8 more years. Enjoy this Nuge you deserve it more than anyone
Connor McDavid and (one legged) Leon Draisaitl are still 1 and 2 in playoff scoring despite being eliminated over 2 weeks ago
What a historic run from both of them man
Canucks fans before game 6 “THIS SERIES IS OVER SEE YA LATER ASSMONTON BUNCH OF FRAUD BUMS HAHAHA”
After game 6” if we win game 7 nice if not, I’m so proud of the team they worked so hard all year and we’re all just happy to be here ♥️♥️🥺🥺”
Backpedaling is in full force 👀
Oilers logic:
Want to trade Jesse Puljujarvi:
- Good at Hockey
- Great person
- loved by the fans
Want to bring in Jake Virtanen:
- Ass at hockey
- Bad person
- Many fans don’t want him
Make it make sense already.
Multiple sources say Thatcher Demko won’t be ready for training camp and preseason games.
The club is hopeful he is ready for the regular season opener but
even that seems to be in question at this late stage of the summer.
Drance and Dhaliwal
The NHL wonders why the Cup Final is struggling to grab viewers. Another 2 days off between games. It just kills the excitement for the fans of teams not in it. Meanwhile trades and signings are going on and that's way more exciting if you aren't a Panthers or Oilers fan.
2 straight seasons of the Oilers being the favourites and getting bounced in Round 1
Connor McDavid put up one of the best seasons statistically in NHL history
Mike Smith put up a Vezina like season
That’s enough for me, you only get so many chances
Fire Dave Tippett
C. Brown at 1M
Janmark at 1.4M
Perry at 1.4M (with performance incentives)
Skinner at 3M
Arvidsson at 4M
Stetcher at league min basically for 2 years
For a guy who doesn’t want the GM job, Jeff Jackson sure as hell looks worthy of it 👍
Paul Coffey didn’t want the job and was great at it
Jeff Jackson doesn’t want the job and is amazing at it
New tactic, only hire people who don’t wanna be here 👍
Start the season 2-9-1, fire the coach, rattle off 16 in a row to get back into the playoff race and have Cinderella story Calvin Pickard lead us all the way through
This documentary is gonna break the box office my god
Just remember the Oilers were well out of a playoff spot before Jay Woodcroft took over. They’re now pretty much a lock for second in the division and have the most points in the league since. Jay Woodcroft deserves the Jack Adams I don’t care.
“Vancouver Canucks winger Brock Boeser is expected to miss Game 7 against Edmonton with a blood clotting issue.
The exact timeline for his return is unknown, but several sources stressed this, thankfully, is not considered a life-threatening situation.”
I just lost my Grandpa to Covid-19. I’m at a loss for words. Didn’t even get to see or say anything to him. This one truly truly hurts. Keep your loved ones close, you won’t know how long they’ll be here. RIP and may God protect him 🖤🖤
