Maybe the others will get a shot to shine now. Didnt expect all of arvidson, skinner, hyman, and RNH to have so little impact so far
You're awesome.
Columbus Blue Jackets, Let's Ride!
If this is a one man team then they don't deserve to win,earn those paychecks multi millionaires or sit in the minors where you belong.
Mcdavid is such a pillow. He’s so soft. Bedard too. “Wah don’t touch me, I play a contact sport but I don’t want to be touched. Waaaahhhh” stfu
Hope it’s nothing serious! I’m not an oiler fan,but a guy like McDavid is just too big a piece for his team to really thrive without him.
i feel mentally, after that game 7 it fucked them up severely, and its very visible during games
Not like he was producing lmao
i don't wish the players bad luck. it's just poetic justice though seeing how dogshit EDM is this year after a lot of their fans thought the oilers were all that and a bag of chips. 🙃
i didn't even think they would be THIS awful across the board – goals scored, goaltending, special teams.
i think they can make the p-off's but them getting back to the SCF won't be easy. and EDM won't get a better chance to make it back than this season.
not after they gotta pay bouch-bombs, mcJ and then there's whether to pay skinner in net, or find a new goalie.
Same strat as last season lol
Did EDM have any major adversity last year? I know the bad start, but that was their own doing. Did they have any major injuries?
It will be interesting to see how the team reacts. Not just 29, but the whole group.
Edmonton rarely looks at strengthening anything other than their top two lines. Goaltending and defence are an issue
wish the best for mcjesus but… WOMP WOMP guess the rest of the team gotta actually play more that 5 minutes a night
I disagree, this is exactly what the team needed. This is gonna force this whole team of guys to get going or lose every game now.
Can yall just get rid of this team !!!!
Hopefully McDavid is back soon and Oilers do awesome this year! From a leafs fan 👍
I’m up against a guy who has mcdavid in my fantasy league he can miss a few games this week😎
Injuries happen. Either the team steps up or they implode. I guess we’ll find out if the oilers truly are a one man team.
Train Wreck!
I know there is a limit how many times you can come back from the "death" but just no way I can count out the oilers
hope McD will get back quick ❤from Denmark
It’s all up to mcdavid, he can be delusional like their fans & sign 8 years & live the life of regrets or he can go to Boston & lift the cup with Marchand 🎉
The Oilers are a team that I don't think .500 points percentage is unrealistic without McDavid
he doesn't complain much or take days off… but we should. That was TRIPPING, but ref did not call it (incompetent?).
Drais signing for $14m x 8 = $108mil… but his stats are greatly inflated by McD. Lets see if he can lead a line (hope so).. and get them thru next few games/weeks. Of 32 teams we are 32th in GoalsFor
but our media keeps telling us we have the greatest offence ever and the #1 and #2 players in NHLso a chance to prove the EDM media knows hockeyNot ideal
Miami Native and Panthers fan; wishing him 100% quick recovery and ultimate health. Let’s get an Oilers – Panthers Cup [Round 2]
Didn’t the one goal they score happen during a rally?
Leon isn’t even a top 30 player in the league now, he got paid and doesn’t care anymore. He plays like 40 year old Ovechkin now just glides around waiting to get to his spot to only miss the net when someone gets him the pick.
This type of injury seems to have become more common in recent years, with the skate going into the boards, looking like nothing much happened, but the player having to leave and missing games. McDavid is lucky. Reinbacher in Montreal had a similar one and is missing the whole season. You never used to see this and my hockey watching goes back to the 70's. Is it just that the game is faster so they go in with more force, or is it something with the new light weight design of modern hockey skates vs. the old leather ones they used to wear?
can we talk about how there are only 5 teams in the east with winning schedules right now? lmao
Putting all your eggs in one basket is risky.
It Sucks. Put Bouchard forward. Hes a terrible defenseman.
Without McDavid we are a average team.
Mcdavid is the oilers. They’re doomed without him
Hopefully this makes Zach Hymann step up. moment of silence for my fellow fantasy owners.
Oilers are cooked, McMuffin should leave in free agency if he wants to win a Cup.
This goes to show that if you make the finals, you got to give it you all, because you don't know what next year will bring.
Good thing we have the highest paid player in the league who will take over to reigns np
Only the Oilers can shit the bed worse than The Leafs against The Blue Jackets
14 million dollars….
Imagine this….Draisaitl gets home from the bank one day, takes his shoes off, sits on his couch, and says to himself, " I am NOT that guy!"…
We shouldn't have to wait till Big-D is out of the line up to see if Drai is that "guy" or not .
Time for Drai to step up. The trouble is, none of the other forwards can piss a drop at the moment, Stu is inconsistent in goal and the D can't seem to get it together.
Honestly, I think if Jackson had just left the team untouched and simply worked on getting Holloway & Broberg signed early on we'd be in a far better place right now.
