lol, are you trying to convince us or yourself? McD might very well never play in a final round. Face it.
The thing i worry about, as an Oilers fan, is that there are going to be some powerhouse teams in the West. Colorado will probably have a bounce back year with fewer injuries, LA is going to be tough, and Vegas isn't going anywhere. I could see Calgary bouncing back again, too.
Anyone who says the Pacific is a weak division is wrong.
Like two hours ago the title was ITS COMING then he changed it
Defense and goaltending aren't their only problems.
When 3 guys play 30+ minutes a night and the rest of the forwards are benched, that's a problem.
It says a lot about the trust the coach and GM have in the team they built.
Oilers only go as far as Nugget and DrySaddle can take them and it's not a Stanley Cup.
So true. They reminded me of that Avalanche team which lost to the vgk. It's only a matter of time
You could probably give the same speech to the Rangers. They're quite close but they always make the same mistake of going out and getting the player with the biggest name and the biggest price tag assuming that's the best option.
It's not even that the Vegas goaltending was good or even better they just had a better D limiting high chances opportunities. The oilers don't need a petro type Dman they can go out and get Luke Schenn for 1.5-2m and maybe even someone else similar to him and they will be unstoppable. I don't think Adin hill did that great or is that great he just played behind a great team, there is a reason why Vegas rolled out 4 or 5 different goalies this year and they all did good and it's not because they have a stack of amazing goalies they have a great D making them goalies look great. And speaking of the Avs if they get healthy and Landeskog is back for the playoffs I can see them being champs again. I don't see any team that is really better than a healthy Avs team right now and they have so many key guys locked up for a long time.
um, I don't shake in my boots when Desharnais or Ceci or others are in on d. We had a few too many rookies this season, goaltending including. We don't need to trade, but we need consistency for the season upcoming and growth. Which can help…
LOL canadian fans still hyping up the Leafs and Oilers.
Their pro scouting needs to be good enough to find those cap friendly d-men
One word is a game changer ~ Kadri
Knights fan here. Of every team we played in the playoffs, Edmonton was the most intimidating and Im glad we got it done this year because just like this video explains…they are so close to building a juggernaut of a team that I think this was truly the last time we would play Edmonton before they take that next step. Definitely expect big things from this team next year, they are hungry and tired of coming up short when they KNOW they can win. Led by the greatest player on the planet and arguably the 2nd greatest…there is no way this team doesn’t win a Cup soon. They’re just to darn good.
I mean I think it’s insane they have avs as the 2024 favorites with oilers and leafs behind them. I’m an avs fan and while I still think even without landy we are cup contenders, I’m having a hard time seeing how we are the number 1 favorite. Top 10 for sure, but this years free agency is pretty shitty unless we land nylander which I doubt unless we are gunna butcher our blue line and draft picks for him. I could see us being the favorite if we got O’Reilly back and sign a ton of guys to one year contracts and get discounts on girard, Johnson (who already said he wanted a cut to stay which is awesome and totally makes me feel even more loyal to him as an av) and young guys like Rodrigues. Otherwise idk. I feel like we are where Tampa was last year too. Just really beat the fuck up from so many consecutive cup runs. I could definitely see us being favorites in 2025 if we manage to have another rather good season in spite of whatever injuries players will have like we did this year, but idk. 2024 seems like it’s definitely gunna be between the oilers and another team like Florida or Vegas that’s able to capitalize on not being as beat up when the post season starts. Probably young and fast like NJ or a talent loaded team like New York if they can get their shit together.
I really don't think Edmonton is missing much. They somehow beat themselves. I mean when they are rolling they score on the PP like 100% of the time. If they can't keep the puck out of the net they just score more than the other team. Always a threat. I'm very surprised they have not been to the Finals at least once in the last few years. They look unstoppable then somehow just implode at the wrong time.
Eastern media and fans: "But, but, but, the east has the best teams! Look how good Boston, Toronto, Carolina and Tampa are! The west is weak. There are no good teams in the west. The east would steamroll the west. The only reason Las Vegas was any good this year is because they could beat up on the weaker western teams." LOL!
Jack Campbell and stu skinner stink.
Meh, the runner up take is kinda weak for me. Definitely not the most complete team out there this post-season, and sure they put up a better fight against VGK but I also really don't think they could've walked the same path that the Panthers did to get to the final either. Gotta sort out that depth for next season, and hope Skinner can rebound cause they really put him through it
WHATS A SAFER BET???
Big name big money player? ( that comes with expectations) OR looking for a diamond in the rough player with a dog in him??
Defensive zone system coaching, not so much the actual players. They were following the plan.
They aren’t “right there” lol they just aren’t
imo a goaltender is only as good as the defense in front of him. We need to improve our right side defense asap.
If Skinner takes another step (people forget he was a rookie) and Campbell bounces back, the Oilers are absolutely a threat. They have to upgrade over Ceci, absolutely.
Skinner is young he has a lot of potential but he shouldn't of been playing game 6 his confidence wasn't there and Campbell was playing good in playoffs. I know Campbell had a terrible season but he did have little stints where he played great. He was on a hot streak in playoffs and Skinner being a rookie wasn't playing great. Totally bad call by the coach. I think oilers should be in hunt next year. But injuries and other teams getting better happen. They have a great team with just a few weaknesses
I like your content but your borderline click-bait titles drive me nuts.
Two guys will never win the cup. Tkachuk and Bob couldn’t do it. Leon and Mccheese cant and won’t do it. They need a team.
He ain't even lying
2 years in a row we lost against the Champ!
I remember Adin Hill was kinda memed online. Nice to see him win it all.
From a Knights fan perspective, Edmonton scares me offensively but their defense and goaltending is suspect just as you say in the video. 5 on 5 Vegas was the better team, being able to roll 4 lines will do that. It just felt that if the Knights stayed out of the penalty box they had a chance to win. On the other hand, I have never feared an opponents power play, like I did with Edmonton. Bruce Cassidy made it a point of emphasis to stay out of the box, the players didn't exactly listen and the team paid for it dearly. I don't think Edmonton is as close as you think. They lacked depth scoring and could only really do damage on the power play. Edmonton's style of play seems too gimmicky in the playoffs, way too reliant on the power play, and way too reliant on McDavid and Draisaitl, can't defend and suspect goaltending. Also Bruce Cassidy outcoached Jay Woodcroft.
That nurse contract SUCKS
2:20 No need to be mean
Nurse looks like he doesn't know he's a defenseman half the time out there
Vegas still hasn't had to deal with the reality and the trouble of building up a great team/franchise from the ground up like every other NHL organization has had to do, so i still don't give them any respect. They're still living in a fairy tale after having success handed to them on a silver platter since their first season. The group that won the Stanley Cup this year really wasn't a "team" that won the cup because several incredibly key players were picked up at the trade deadline and rode the others' coattails. I'll respect the golden knights after the organization actually works for something.
goal tending and defense, but the real reason was nobody wanted to play the full game they would look dead lazy 2nd period
Avs would have won the '21 Cup if Kadri hasn't gotten himself (deservedly) suspended for the (admittedly) dirty, selfish and stupid hit against StL the previous round. Colorado before the Kadri suspension was a juggernaut on par with that year's version of Tampa, whom they whooped the next year. Their big 4 of MacKinnon, Makar, Moose and Landy were on point and 2021 Grubauer was def better than 2022 Kuemper, but losing Kadri completely killed the productivity of their middle six, and that's what Vegas exploited to eliminate them.
