Les Oilers devraient-ils à nouveau être considérés comme les favoris de la Coupe Stanley ? Auston Matthews pourrait-il marquer 70 buts cette saison ? Comment les Maple Leafs devraient-ils répartir les gardiens de but? Qui est le favori pour remporter le Vézina ? Que feront les Flames avec Jacob Markstrom ? Les Canucks remporteront-ils le Trophée des Présidents ? Jamie McLennan, analyste de TSN Hockey, rejoint SC avec Jay Onrait pour répondre à toutes ces questions et bien plus encore.

The oilers aren’t & never were cup contenders. It’s as if people only realize in May & June that to win you need to be tough & defensively strong. Not just skill sessions.
This is the most cup contender this team has been in recent history. This team is better defensively and goaltending then they were the past 3 seasons they made the playoffs.
Lol they can’t go 3 minutes without talking about the leafs. This networks biased & sad.
The streak is great, but I don't care about it. There is a Cup, that needs to come back to Canada. And the greatest player in todays hockey has to hoist it! I hope, it will happen this year!
The way they’ve improved their defensive game I would say they’re going for it full force
It’s funny all of these media people clowned on McDavid and bailed on his club when he struggled in the beginning and now a few months later they bend over backwards to preface every segment with “many chose to win the Stanley Cup etc”….media is shameless lol
Great breakdown of teams priorities:
Oilers – Cup
Leafs – Ride Matthews to an individual record
Oilers are playing Playoff hockey right now – will they have enough juice left come real playoff time!?
The streaks are just the road to the cup
TSN is good
Liberals hate Canada and everything we stand for
speak up
As an Oilers fan we have a tough schedule leading into playoffs. Lots of back to backs due to having the least amount of games played. High chances of fatigue and injury. We shall see
To Leafs and Canucks fans – NO
To the rest of the NHL – An emphatic YES
Its WAY too early to predict anything beyond 'will they gain playoff spot'. As of today? Most likely. As far as being a "cup contender" goes; that could be said for ANY team that makes it INTO the big dance at the end of the season. Case in point, the Florida Panthers last year. As we saw with Boston, winning more regular season games than any other team means nothing when it comes to being a Cup contender – you get the President's trophy and exhaustion. IF the Oilers make it into the playoffs, IF they stay healthy, and IF they can continue to play at the level they have been playing at as of late, then YES, of course they could win the cup.
Colorado out of the west for cup favorites. Edmonton is still the same team and are getting hot at the wrong time.
