How Good Are The Edmonton Oilers? | SDP 

Scariest thing about the Oilers is that Leon and Connor haven't hit peak, sustained performance yet this year. They more than likely will, and it'll be GLORIOUS!😊

Hiring Paul Coffey was key as well. I think he has been overlooked as helping turn the oilers around.

Most people don’t realize how important Brown is to the oilers PK. He’s an unbelievable penalty killer

haha they said stuart skinner needs a break from getting 40 shots on goal... yet the oilers average 29 shots against them a game which is like 3rd best in the league

What u guys didn’t even talk about was the fact that they’ve gone I think 11 games in a row without letting in more than 2. Which is another franchise record

Kris Knoblach was literally on Hackstall’s staff in philly

In my view, the guys who really know hockey like ex players (Rob Brown), were saying that the Oilers would come around because they were basically the same team as last year. That makes sense and it’s proven to be true.

Everyone is underestimating the oilers defensive game. 11 straight games allowing 2 or less goals.

I hope we get oilers fan steve again this season

Yes, talking about my Oilers!

The top line of McDavid, Nuge and Hyman looks like a power play for over 50% of their 5 v 5 play. And even better, the Oil were are winning ugly 1 and 2 goal games for most of this heater so we can't wait for the playoffs. You want an ugly gritty win? You want fire wagon hockey? If we get Perry we will have a rat line to throw off the other team's game and focus

Right now they are healthy and playing well. It will be interesting to see if they carry this past the all star break. Most teams that get to the playoffs end somewhere around 66-68% win point rate.. It will be interesting to see what happens when the inevitable injuries happen. They always do... Look at Vegas. Their expected starting D-Fense has played exactly 1 game together as a unit. Their team as expected has played exactly ZERO games together. We shall see how this all shakes out.

2-9-1 was the point the Oilers decided Woody was done. they are now 25-15-1 they are 22 & 6 with Knobs As far as players we want. IMO C. Perry, S. Monahan, MAF would be who I'm looking at. Would love C. Tanev from Calgary, but they won't wanna play nice with us. More Oilers content from Spin please. Steve just be an Oilers fan, common you know you wanna.

6:54 "How do you nitpick a team that's won 12 straight?" THANK YOU! As an Oilers fan, a lot of people in the fanbase drive me nuts sometimes.

Connor and Leon aren’t even rolling yet. Get ready

Funny how last year their weakness was 5 on 5 scoring. They literally took that personally.

No offense boys, but this entire clip sounds like you aren't very familiar with the Oilers season. They are dominant with a bullet in xGF and xGA. They are dominant in terms of CF/CA, and are playing a significantly stronger defensive system compared to last year's team. Every metric and the eye test both support the Oilers. They are still a sub 1.00 PDO team as well

They've won a few games 2-1 on this streak also, so it's not even always about getting a lot of points. It isn't even all McDrai anymore, we're finally getting depth scoring and winning games where 29/97 don't even get a point.

Twelve games in... Oilers 2-9-1 for 5 points. 41 games in... Oilers 25-15-1 for 51 points.

What you guys aren't talking about is PDO regression. The oilers were outplaying opponents at the beginning of the season too and getting incredibly unlucky. They're just getting back to normalcy now. Same reason the Canucks will fail later, they are riding an insanely hot PDO. It all balances out over the long run

the coaches do look the same, I've been thinking this for a while. Now add Connor mcdavid, Ryan McLeod, Mitch Marner , Jacob chychrun , the tkachuks to the list. They could all easily pass as siblings/sons of the coaches . If someone said to you that all those players and coaches were related to one another you would think twice .

Oilers are oiling

Connor McDavid is NOT shooting lights out. He's probably still injured because his shooting is way down from last year. Same thing with the PP. It's way down from last year, likely because Connor is both not shooting like he did and not as mobile. As McDavid gets healthier, this club will hit the stratosphere.

It would have been a closer game if Seattle's best players weren't injured during the game.

Under Coffey the Oilers are learning to finally play solid defence. Also getting much better goaltending.

13 now... 3-1 Win tonight!

Go oilers

Who cares what these guys think all they cover is garbage leafs

They finally figured out how to play as a TEAM.....

I’m an oilers fan but Bouchard has alot of work defensively to be considered a Norris candidate, no? Don’t get me wrong I’d love that but it’s a shame that ALL you need to be considered for a Norris is points.

Canucks fan here. I've been waiting for just one team to throw a wrench into their plans but no go. It pains me to say this but the key to their victories here has been goaltending. Skinner is looking like he is finding his groove which for me is like the worst news ever.

Edmonton is trying to make the playoffs

Edmonton🇨🇦 has now defeated Predators. Yay. Time for 17 wins vs Golden Knights. Hooray Oilers. Also fan of Ottawa🇨🇦 Senators in NHL hockey. And fan of Tunisia🇹🇳 and Peru🇵🇪 in soccer.

Wow, did you guys get it wrong. They weren't/arent' out scoring their competitors, they are out defending them....15 and counting....13 of those games with 2 goals or less, allowed!

I said thenexact same things during the game about dave and kris

If you looked at all of the information available, it shouldn't be any surprise that the Oilers are winning. Excluding goaltending, they were playing well all season, offensively and defensively. They had an unusually low shooting percentage, and league-worst goaltending. The "eye test" was deceptive, because every defensive breakdown ended up in the back of the net. What it didn't show was that the breakdowns were happening less frequently than on 25-28 other teams. Even with the bad shooting percentage, they were playing .700 hockey if they had average goaltending. The Oilers were just lucky that Knoblauch is as good as Woodcroft.

The Leaf's need to have that mindset of "we lose a few we are out of the playoffs, we win a few we could be looking at home ice advantage." Like the Leaf's just don't have that winning mentality to play hard every game and not lose no matter what, and IDK how we get this team thinking in the way of winning.

dont jinx it!!!

I have always said the same since Knobber came to EDM, he and Hakstall are identical, other than they part their hair opposite lmfaooo

Oilers fans are quite accustomed to their team being streaky. Unfortunately, that means we’re always prepared (and half expect) that just as easily as we’ll win 13,14,15 games, we can turn right around and lose 4,5,6 or more in a row. It’s infuriating. It was def like that with Woody at the helm. Hopefully Knoblauch gets rid of that bad habit.

And now 24 hours later, its 13 straight

Someone should ask the Oilers coach if he's related.

I thought 😂 I was the only guy confused about the coaches

At trade deadline, Monahan/duclair/blackwood

I think Chicago Bull's coach Phil Jackson made that passing&shoot system. Former Bulls players and later becoming coaches moving to LA Lakers&Golden State Warriors implemented that same system.

Can you guys do a weekly (at least), pod on the oilers? Some of the oilers content is great....but some of the long term and newer oilers media is downright toxic.

I was watching the game and thought Haxtall was coack K. I was like damn that fit is looking nice. Then i realized im retarded

Why the hell trade Matias Echolm you guys are farting out of your mouth!

To really hammer home how good it's been for Edmonton lately. Here are their stats since November 24th Record: 19-3-0 Points %: .864 (1st) Goal Differential: +40 (1st) GF/GP: 3.95 (1st) GA/GP: 2.14 (2nd) PP: 28.1 (5th) PK: 88.1 (4th) Further to that, in the last 10 games, they haven't allowed more than 2 goals against. Last time they allowed more than two was back against the Rangers when they won 4-3. Oh and that was the 2nd game of this 12-game losing streak

Until it equates to playoff success it is irrelevant.

That Luke scene on The Last Jedi is actually beautiful, poetic, encapsulates the character perfectly and expands on the Mythology of Stat Wars

Hopefully Bouchard wakes up, he's killing my fantasy team

Let's not put the cart before the horse. I love the Oilers, but their own zone play is always suspect and often their goalies cannot stop a beachball. One or two injuries can quickly change a team dynamic as well. Its a long season.

They're as good as their last game. In 2 weeks we could be asking what happened to Edmonton?

So insulting suggesting Edmonton will win the division. Just igmoring the 31-11-4 Vancouver Canucks.

Edmonton just hoping they can get 2nd in the division so they can avoid the canucks.
