I've watched this team for over 15 years. Its the first time I've watched comfortably and confidently, whether we are up or down in the score, there's this sneaky feeling that no matter what, they will get the W. Its surreal as an Oilers fan. We are seeing the maturing of this roster with less focus on points and offense and truly being a well-rounded squad. Knoblauch deserves a lot of praise, especially after the doubters saying he only got the job because of McDavid.
The team is defending like I haven't seen, maybe ever, goaltending is the best it's been since Roloson, and we can take over and dominate a game at the drop of a hat. If they could just show up to start a game and take it over early, we'd be pretty much unstoppable
Two things that sink this team, chasing the puck and waiting for the pretty opportunities. Very little of that during this streak. Doing this with an average power play and < average results from #29 and 97 says more about this team than anything else. This is what depth and a team first attitude looks like.
I dont think I can remember a time in my 33 years of being alive and being an Oilers fan watching this team and not being scared they will lose whether they have the lead, tied or even losing. They are playing sound defence and even when losing they dont panic. I have dreamed for days like this and hopefully it leads to the first Oilers cup to come in my lifetime. Been close with 06, some of these cup runs where it felt we could have done it the past few years but this year they feel different and credit to Knob and Coffey for turning this team around
Knoblauch always looks so nervous when he's answering questions with the press, but I've come to learn it's the quantum computer in his coconut that's processing a million hockey calculations per second while managing the questions at the same time. Either that or he can't wait to get home and watch reruns of Seinfeld with his favourite character….star computer salesman Lloyd Braun. Win streak alive and well congrats Kris. 15 in the can…check that box ✅ 16 coming up. We beat Toronto for Hyman, Columbus for Stu's record, beat Chicago for Perry, now let's beat Nashville for Ekholm. Hello sweet 16!! Go Oilers!
pls add perry next game to see where he fits afterall he may be slowest on the team. we have time to adjust him for next after the break… again the sluggish showed up in the 1st period… may be it is a mental thing…

They are placing themselves in more of an advantageous position every game.
Pickard is president and CEO of Oilers Enterprise Group.
Knobs reminds me of a young pat riley on winning time
What a great move brining Knobber in! Everyone was like ??? Mr. Even-keel. Hats off to Coffey as well. Well rounded, let’s go boys!!
This team amazes me. 15 straight. Doesn’t matter what lines are out there. Total team effort. McDavid back on multiple point game again.
I also like McDavid’s physical edge. Toughness. Adding a little Mark Messier in his game.
Woodcroft watching this press like 😐
they are just good, they're good enough!!!
this Oilers team is already better than the Gretzky/Messier era from the 80's
now they just need a few cup wins.

Pickard was a gutsy move, Knoblaugh is the right kind of guy for this team.
Making a strong case for coach of the year.

IF Oilers lose Saturday…do we blame Perry??
This absolutely incredible winning streak will definitely stand as one of the top highlights in Oilers entire history ! ❤

15 wins in a row and the oilers are not playing that streaky, high danger version of themselves. The rest of the league should be worried.
After that streak I must say : garlic is even healthier than tumeric
Oilers all the way .
