Accurate. They’ve won enough in a row, time to chill

During the Oilers crazy winning streak, they have gained 2pts on the Canucks.

Vancouver is still 13 points ahead of Edmonton, and during their winning streak, they have only gained two points on Vancouver.

I just hope we don’t run into them in the first round of the playoffs. That means we have to stay at the top of the division.

And once their goaltending reverts they will settle down
Shitcrock
Next month Oilers will be on a California road trip and play Boston I’d imagine somewhere in there, the streak gets shut down.

Their PDO last 15 games in 105.2, crazy how suddenly no one cares and it was only us in October being frauds

Oilers were 2nd in the pacific last season? This is what they were suppose to be like. The surprise was that they blew the first half, not that they are heading where they should already be

Of course it’s an impressive streak but look at who they’ve played. Mostly bottom feeders and just two games against top ten teams

Let’s see the Oilers play against some real playoff worthy teams first…

The Oilers haven’t won their division since the mid 80’s, and that includes all those years of 5 team divisions.
Just a random stat to brighten your day.

Their schedule is going to be packed down the stretch. They have 5 games in hand on us.. still.

Oilers had a shit ton of giveaways last night. The main reasonsl why they won was the quality of their opposition.

The Canucks remind me of the Atlanta braves this year. Anytime the Phillies would go on a heater they would either lose ground or be even with the Braves during said heater.

LOL i feel this way about the Jets, cause Canucks and Jets are fighting for 1st in the league. Jets win a game, they are 1st, Canucks win a game, they are 1st in the league LOL. And recently with Bruins winning games, they are also fighting for 1st in the league with us and Jets.

What’s crazy is that even if the Oilers win all five games they have on hand on the Canucks they still won’t catch them.
I think we all knew that the Oilers we saw at the start of the season was not real, and while I don’t think anyone anticipated they would win this many games and come storming back this hard, if you wrote them off entirely at the beginning of the season I think you were delusional. A team with a player of McDavid’s caliber, one of the best, most dominant players of all time on it isn’t just going to pack it away quietly .

Wouldn’t worry much about the oilers. Focus on our games and place 1st in the division and let vegas and oilers beat each other up in the 1st round

All I can say, is thank goodness we played most of our season series with them when they sucked…
Voltage604
We are literally 13 points up still. This is nothing like this..it’s not like we are battling them for top in the division….. Not yet anyway

Better they climb standings as they are so we don’t face them first rd. That series would be draining af I think.

The reason they’re doing good is because the Canucks haven’t crushed them lately.
