*Makes plans to be drunk for 5 years*

So far so good.
After the Caps they play the Canucks, Sens and Leafs. Would be nice to see them pull 3 wins outa those 4 games.

I can pretty much guarantee at least 1

It's pretty do-able.
- DuranDuran

Should be. But you know... Oilers.

We should make an avi bet for that game. Not who wins or loses but rather who scores more, McDavid or Matthews.

prepare for a 0-0 game with larson scoring the only goal in shootout

Matt, if the Sekera-Russell pairing continues to play as they have, and the underlying possession numbers remain the same is it fair to say you will have to admit that possession stats are inherently flawed?
- freelancer

They are almost even in Fenwick and positive in Scoring Chances. If they keep that up then the possession stats are showing Russell is performing better as an Oiler than he did as a Flame and Star player.

There are flaws in every stat and in every mode of analysis. He has a PDO of 108.8, if that drops to a normal 100 we arent talking about how great Russell has been.

Oh I think they are both scoring pretty regularly

That would be okay too.

I hope you are not insinuating that the darling of Edmonton is some trailer park harlot like his Maple flavored competitor.

Wait until reality strikes. The standings will balance out.

The Oilers are legitimately a really good team, though. Don't represent the Devils like that.

Auston Matthews... Good at hockey.

I'm not ready to anoint them with that label but thank you for props.

Hall's looking like he wants to break 30 this year.

Good thing McDavid is gooder.

Oilers... 2017 Stanley Cup Winners!

Larsson has been abit overwhelmed at times, but he's getting more comfortable.
And I think he could get a lot better . And it's true he's a legitimate top 4 guy giving us a solid pairing.

But yeah, hall is truly elite. Straight up we lost that trade badly.

But building a better team and winning games is all that matters.
Plus- we don't free up the space for Lucic if we don't make the deal.
Larsson and Lucic > hall

Larsson is never overwhelmed... TAKE IT BACK!!!!!!!!

I'm at the Canucks on Friday and in the interest of full disclosure, my winning % at attended games is fuking abysmal .

I like the balance with Lucic in the mix. You're probably not contenders this year, but close. The start isn't a fluke.

Man I hope so. It's great having such an explosive player again.

Blowout or trade McDavid because it isn't even worth it anymore

You've got the real deal in hall

You can legitimately expect a top 10 scorer for the duration of his contract

Good thing McDavid is gooder.

10 > 9

- laughs2907

Apologies

Momentary lapse

Larsson transcends being overwhelmed . He's beyond it

Oilers... 2017 Stanley Cup Winners!
- laughs2907

I like some of his points
Oilers closing in at Top 10 in the league PP...currently 16th...7.1% behind Top 10 team.

Holtby has a better Sv% and GAA than Talbot but give the nod to Talbot bc he got a weekly star

I think I love this guys homerism
