Avant le match d’hier soir, mais Bruce McCurdy souligne que les Oilers n’ont pas de pointage secondaire. Les Oilers peuvent-ils compter sur le fantastique 4 en séries éliminatoires à chaque match?

Yes yes they can. I would also like to point out they have 5 people they can rely on
The other players have been disappointing minus Kostin and maybe Ryan and Janmark. I guess to stick up for them a bit, they don’t get a ton of ice time to really get into the groove. I think if Woodcroft distributed the ice better, it wouldn’t be as bad. Point still remains though. Yamamoto, JP, Foegele, Holloway and even McLeod have been dissapointing.
Fantastic 5 when Kane gets back at least
It’s a little misleading that Kane isn’t in the graphic because of his injury. He’d probably be between Hyman and Burakovsky.
Would also look slightly better if Pulju, Yams, and Foegele weren’t criminally underperforming
No. Even if the big four play 40+ minutes (regular season and playoffs), the bottom six will lose the team games.
I have no idea what Ken Holland thought when he brought in Klim Kostin, but he needs more of those types of winning transactions.
The bottom six needs a ton of help.
I know they’ve been underperforming so far this season but TBF to them Yamo, Puljujarvi and McLeod did score during the playoffs last year. Depth scoring is an issue with the team but I think if even a few of the guys turn it around and start scoring like they did last year we’ll be in a better place. And we get a lot of points from our d-men.
I don’t think it’s that they have no secondary scoring, it’s just that their top scorers are so good it makes their secondary scoring look nonexistent
Barrie also has as many points as Seattle’s top.scorer
Our bottom 6 and defence are not good enough to make it to the finals. Hell, we’re currently just fighting for a playoff position despite having three top 10 scorers.
A lack of forward depth and a shitty defence will sink us this season.
When you consider that Yamamoto, Kostin, and Janmark were not in play for much of the season so far, the discrepancy is not as bad as it seems. Oh, and one of our snipers is on IR right now.
The Oilers rode the back of the team’s best forwards last season and made the WCF against a historically great Avs team. There are also previous examples of unexpected teams in the SC Final, like St. Louis and Montreal.
It’s still early enough in the season to know that the team is going to be different by then end of the TDL.
McDavid is on a historic level that hasn’t been seen since Lemieux’s production nearly 30 years ago. I am confident in the Oilers going far in the postseason.
Genius…. pundits have been stating this since preseason….
I mean, if you spend all game scoring, there isn’t much time left for others to do it too.
Wow I didn’t realize Yammer and Jesse were that brutal.
klim will most likely score 20 if he stays on 2nd line.
Doesn’t this just speak to how deadly our PP is and how reliant on it we are to win games? Also, and I don’t know for sure, but don’t the top two forward lines in Edmonton get considerable more ice than than those on other teams?
If McDavid goes down we’re screwed i think. just pray he doesn’t get injured on this second half
