Incase you were wondering – because I was, so I did some math…Since Friday November 24th the Oilers have been the best team in hockey. And by a wide margin. Most wins (14), Fewest Losses (3 with 0 OT losses) Most points gained (28) Highest points per game (1.647) highest points % (82.35).
First in the west for goal differential (+30), second in the west on shot differential (+116)[LA is 1st with +170], and 4th in the western conference SV% (0.9193 Stew and Calvin combined) [Winnipeg 0.9388, Arizona 0.9276, Seattle 0.9275] in 17 games played. Everyone is sleeping on this team, but these boys are wide awake and have something to prove.
You forgot about Bob. If I count the number of times you 3 said Stuart Skinner you would all be embarrassed. It is relevant .You dont know you are doing it. Uncle Bob has tried all year long to get Stu out of the spotlight so he can reset his beanbag and so he can fully embrace his role a one player on the Roster and not begin to think that he is the single lynchpin of every NHL win or Loss the Oilers produce, no human can handle that pressure not Gretzky not Mario not Crosby and not Mcdavid, so surely we are not going to let Skinner try to blow himself up in front of the entire World right? When asked about the way Skinner took the heat in the media after a bad game by trying to own it himself Kris did NOT LET IT GO and he corrected Spector and reminded him that although Skinner stood in there and tried to be accountable which is commendable he was not the only one who made mistakes that game and was not the lone catalyst of the win or loss. You forgot to thank Uncle Bob again. You are now giving Uncle Bobs mojo to Kris and Paul, who are conduits or pipelines that communicate extremely well. You are intentionally skipping over the 3rd Man in who earned Apples on the results produced from both Kris and Paul and you know it.We will discuss this again @ EXACTLY 6 games over .500 ok. I said exactly for a reason. 3s6s9s
What’s with all the time off? 5 day span during their first winning streak, I think 5 or 6 off at Christmas and now 4 days this week. I fear our schedule is going to be really full with a number of back to backs coming up. Let’s hope they can keep the good times rolling when they get back at it!
I have a feeling Draisaitl will break out like crazy after the All-star break. He's not 100%, he's off a smidge and he's adjusting. He's gonna bring it.

LET'S GO OILERS !!!
It looks like they’re “Having fun”….
I like this commentary, good topics and analyses, but, the dress code needs refinement.

How good have you guys got it
Good times
Go Oil
+/- is a great stat over time. Yes it can be misleading but Eckholm being +37 is a clear indicator of how well he is playing.
Love your updates! Very accurate , great perspective 👏
Mediterranean chicken
Bob the Oilers encyclopedia great knowledge 👌
Nothing is being said about Brown, he is the silent addition that's needed. Good job Conner

Please bring up lane Pederson …he’s really playing well and he’s a center!
The 80's called
They want their oilers back
Add Gene to this and we have the only 4 Edm media members we need.
What the hell happened at the start of the year? Very happy that nightmare is over.
lol, hadn't looked at the video yet only the audio and i thought, it was Tom Gazzola speaking – it was Tony Brar, these 2 got quite the similar…
Lets go Oilers.

Jack M. Has to go. He is annoying
