Eklund: EXACTLY What Will Happen in the Pacific Division.

Edmonton first place...I guess you have McDavid reaching 160 points this coming year. Not sure when Edmonton was real...the 90's?

The LA Kings are old and the Sharks are overrated. The Oilers have no defence and have done nothing to improve. They will not finish ahead of the Flames or make the playoffs.

We have the exact same d core that took us within one game of the west final a year and a half ago. You know, the same D core that's sporting a nice 9-2 record against the Flames over the past few years. Maybe we should trade a handful of first rounders and bring in a guy like Hammonic lawl. Its gonna be fun to watch the Nucks roast you flamers tonight.

Trust me Vancouver is not making any playoff run

Probably the worst goaltending tandem in the league
Probably one of the worst defense cores in the league

Our Dcore didnt really get better but they will be more offensive which is something we have lacked for a long while. The oilers will be a wild card (figuratively speaking) Either be a great team or more of the same from last year.

I heard Bo sucks at video games and feels left out. He would rather sit in a dark movie theater with a bunch of his boys for the real bonding experience.

And the same d core that crapped the bed all last year! The Oilers are always cocky before the season starts, but reality will set in by Christmas like every year in the past decade. The Oil faithful will be screaming for Chia's head by mid-November. It's like clockwork.

Maybe you should learn to spell and if it wasn't for Cam Talbot that year. Oilers = No Playoffs.

Pocklington ruined the team in the 90s with his meddling and big mouth threatening to relocate every season. More like the 80s.

Wait I think the ducks will be bad but because of their forwards... Their D and Gibson are by far the best part of the team...

Laine is just angry that he has to live in Winnipeg where all you can do is play video games.

"THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT WILL HAPPEN"

But this will happen, and this might happen, and I know I shouldn't be doing this, but it will happen.

LOL what a joke. This analysis and "expertise" is such a sham, nothing at all of substance here. And not sure about Gibson/Miller? Really? I'm not even a Ducks fan, but anybody can see Gibson is the real deal if he's healthy.

I don't get why everyone is so down on the Oilers. They have the best player the NHL has ever seen and would have been a playoff team last year if Talbot was any good and their PP wasn't dreadful.

Really it's mostly up to Talbot. The biggest reason the Jets were as good as they were last year was elite goaltending.

It's supposed to be a joke, hence the "THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT WILL HAPPEN."

Ducks 6th huh .... Perry was hurting the Ducks not helping... he’s slow and for the most part stupid. Ducks will be no worse than 2nd.

Not sold on Gibson/Miller combo? You’ve got to be kidding me. I’d rather have them than what Edmonton’s got. Might want to at least watch Gibson play one game before making that assertion.

EK, please name a better tandem in the Pacific than Gibson and Miller.

Kings: Quick and Campbell
Coyotes; Raanta and Kuemper
Sharks: Jones and Dell
Flames: Smith and Rittich
Oilers: Talbot and Koskinen
Canucks: Markstrom and Nilsson
Knights: Fleury and Subban


I guess Millers stat lines are so bad..... wait.....

in 28 games he was 12 - 6 - 6 (4 Shut Outs) 2.35 GAA and .928 save percentage Jesus he is a terrible backup (sarcasm)....

And to say their D is suspect... come on man. Watch a west coast game please.

I guess that Gretzky guy was a bust.

No poop, the Oilers haven't been "for real" in 30 years.
