  1. Wait? What? You don't talk about wanting to be #1 in your division? Or you don't talk about how long it's been since the Oilers were #1 in your division? Either way… maybe you should talk about that. I'm assuming it's not just a goal you picture in your mind. Not a good answer Connor. The locker room should always be talking about being #1 in your division. Maybe it's some kind of weird pro athlete code to not publicly say you talk about that stuff. Honestly, what is the harm to say, "yea for sure we talk about that all the time. Our goal is to always be #1 in our division and battle as hard as we can in the playoffs with the hope of bringing a Cup home to our fans. That's what motivates us day in and day out". See, was that so hard to say. Just a really odd response to that question.

  2. Just remember to bear down and be serious with possessions and for Connor that means scoring 1 goal does NOT trigger reverting back to pass-first thinking ,it means bear down and get 2 goals or however many your possessions put you in a position to score. Teams work 23 men deep to generate possessions and Offensive players need to convert those into points, lets hit the ground running and put up 6-7 against the Wings. Go Oilers Playoffs are on the horizon now.

  3. Early February. 4th in the division. Cringy "when do you start thinking about winning the division?" Unreal hackery.
