How did past playoff losses contribute to Oilers finally breaking through this year?



Nine years ago the Oilers drafted the best player in the world in Connor McDavid, who after some tough playoff losses in recent years finally led his Edmonton Oilers to a Stanley Cup Final.

  1. As a Vancouver fan, I don't feel so bad now that we lost to Edmonton – but you'd better go all the way – don't waste this chance to bring the Cup, OUR CUP, back to Canada!!

  2. More information read it's not preteing to play an unbelieve r u lied about everything we have to talk again so u don't force me in a fake biblical abuse experience witness im not pretending to experience with u children who don't exist yet when I created perfection so we don't have to save children or fake sinners I don't want in Jesus name amen m📢📢📢💥💥💥👍👍This 📢📢📢💥💥👍👍 its not being an unbeliever it's u lied for a fake experience to no one but me so now I can't marry u tomorrow yesterday and today that's ok life goes on 📢📢📢💥👍

  3. Why do the media insist on focusing on McDavid as the only story at Edmonton? Yes, he scored a great goal. But the old Oilers would have lost today's game. They were badly outshot. No, the difference is defense. A better story. A more informed story. Would be the impact of Paul Coffey on the defense of the Oilers. The success of the 2024 Oilers is on defense. Today they won a game with 10 shots on goal. That would rarely happen before this year.

  4. Deboer is 100% correct. I mean Vegas (last cup winner and stacked), Colorado (won 2 years ago, stacked with talent), Edmonton (best player in the world playing the best defense they've played in decades).

    That's very tough and the injury to Tanev changed the series.

  5. I am cheering for you and for the Edmonton Oilers❤ from Toronto! 🤞crossed that Gretzky legacy rubs off on this team Zack for years to come.
    We could greatly benefit from having you be part of the Leafs, but, as a realist, I won’t hold my breath 😉

  6. The other thing about canadas team is that McDavid has never had a chance to represent team Canada as a pro best on best. Thoughts about a great player change when that happens. Ask Crosby! 97 has never been given a chance!

  7. I'm a Florida fan living in Canada, so I gotta tell ya, this is a pretty sweet final. I'm happy with either outcome!! GO CATS!

  8. It’s insane that Hyman referenced the 2006 noise at Rexall because I remember that cup run and that game 6 of the Stanley Cup final when they tied the series was the loudest I had ever heard an arena and I’ve been watching hockey for a long long time lol….Rogers place is definitely just as raucous as ever, incredible crowd.

  9. are the oiler fans still in the building during these pressers or are they chanting that loud outside?

  10. A lot has to be because of Paul Coffee good defense plus scoring goals just like he did as a player the players respect coffee and he is calming on bench with them it's just all a complete unit when oilers practice there pk players play there power play players who better to practice against

  11. I still remember a couple Dallas fans disrespect the Canadian anthem while it was playing and some other b.s it showed and then there team lost 3 straight just like Vancouver same thing oilers win final 2 games no need to disrespect national anthems ever and these fans in Dallas were caught on camera in Dallas and Edmonton are going for Stanley cup

  12. The news here is that the Oilers are going to the finals, not some dimwit's half baked theory that their past losses contributed to their breakthrough. I failed grade 10 so how did that impact the fact that I passed the next year. Dummy.

  13. For me I've always cheered for canadian teams, so go Oil go!
    Note: I loved florida all season long, and I am an Ott fan first and foremost. If Florida wins, Ott will get a 3rd rd pick for the Tarasenko trade, but I'm still going for the Oil :).

  14. Im a Senator fan from Edmundston N-B, haven't watch a full nhl game in years. But i went to our local jr team games this year at first beacuz my son loved going but i started going with a friend and it really got me back into hockey again. I remember being a kid behind the Senators in 2007 going to the finals against the ducks the feeling is the same here. So glad a Canadian team is in the finals againe, defenetly gona watch the games. Goo Oilers!! Bring the cup home FINALY!!

  15. 4:20 just shows how fucking stupid Carlo is. Heiskanen has never even been nominated for the Norris and yet this dipshit says he's a Norris trophy winner. How the fuck is this guy employed by TSN?

  16. Edmonton aint beating the Panthers. Enjoy the cup run but it aint yours. Panthers are near perfect. They went through a gauntlet of goalies to get to the dance. Skinner better be perfect
