97% of us believe the Smashville Sabrecats will prevail. Smart money, HOWEVER!

No McDavid... No more 'stress' of the TDL... Oilers typically are (have been) a much better road team... maybe they'll play loose, inspired and win!?

MOGA!
ORPP!

No stress? All that dead cap hit that they need to try to offload on some sucker, those pieces of dead weight wondering where they might end up, thinking about the upcoming draft? Oh, I think there is plenty of stress to be had from TDL, sir.

Don't forget we've called up the big guns of Currie and Gagner who don't seem to be part of the losing culture and are playing to win! How long will it take to coach that out of them?

Until then, onwards to victory!!!

They didn't do a dang thing. Likely communicated it to the group earlier also.

PK Sooby Scooby Doo may be our tonight, and they’ll be without Fiala (traded) and the guy they traded him for, Granlund (wife was in labour when the trade broke) AND Hartman who they traded for Simmonds. Simmonds likely in(?).

But ya. No McDavid. Still. Could win!

Road to Regina! MOGA!

If the Oilers win both of their GIH then they are only 4 points back!

I hate the Oilers.

2015/2016 - This Kool-Aid tastes like McDavid flavoured Drain-O.
2016/2017 - This Kool-Aid is starting to taste like juice.
2017/2018 - I'm drinking this Kool-Aid, in hopes that it's Drain-O.
2018/2019 - Another round of Drain-O, good sir!

Do we want to win? Currently 6th last, but only 2 points up on 29th place. Trade a bunch of guys off and bring up some ECHL replacements and we could be battling it out with Ottawa (Colorado) for the best lottery odds in no time!

Good point, playoffs are a pipe dream anyway but there's still something about seeing them win, especially against top teams....and the ducks.

What the heck do you people have against heart and soul Oiler Ryan Smyth. This whole decade+ of darkness began because we traded him. He's back for a year with the Org and we get to the 2nd round of the playoffs. He leaves, the team tanks.

It's just a pic of Smyth in the hallway at practice. Hopefully meaningless, but this is the Oilers.

I may have thrown up in my mouth just a tad when I saw this.


It's just a pic of Smyth in the hallway at practice. Hopefully meaningless, but this is the Oilers.


I assume the only reason he's there is because he now lives in Nashville, the Oilers are there and he really has nothing else to do. Stacey hadn't assigned him any tasks today, so may as well go watch practice.

I was thinking about Smyth though this week as a similar meat-and-potatoes, completely over-rated player had his number retired in Arizona. Once again, I thought - please, just don't let us disgrace the organization further by retiring #94...

Of course, after everything else that's happened with this team, how much worse could it get. Retiring Smyth's number would just be one more mistake in a long series of them.

Retiring the number with a banner in the rafters OR a member of the OBC with an assumed ‘untouchable’ number where anyone wanting it has to publicly kiss his butt ala Ricky and Lahey? Which. Is. Worse?

That's true Adam. I agree with you 100%. Some people do hate Ryan Smyth, and it's because their hearts are made of pure evil, held in place by the jagged fingers of Satan.

2015/2016 - This Kool-Aid tastes like McDavid flavoured Drain-O.
2016/2017 - This Kool-Aid is starting to taste like juice.
2017/2018 - I'm drinking this Kool-Aid, in hopes that it's Drain-O.
2018/2019 - Another round of Drain-O, good sir!

Ugh.

If we retire #94, we may as well just add another stupid looking banner for the fans - maybe a second #7 to the rafters? - and put "EDMONTON" over the Oilers symbol, just in case anyone can't figure that part out.

What the heck do you people have against heart and soul Oiler Ryan Smyth. This whole decade+ of darkness began because we traded him. He's back for a year with the Org and we get to the 2nd round of the playoffs. He leaves, the team tanks.


I love me some Smytty but he was retired almost 3 years before the 2016-2017 Playoffs.

He came back to help with development or some crap for 16/17. His leadership aura obviously affected the team and helped us have our best season since the 80's.

Then he left that summer, house up for sale, and here we are again, in the toilet.

Haha...helping is a bit of a stretch. Apparently he wanted to work with prospects, but he didn't want to travel and pretty much none of the prospects were here so I don't think it was a particularly successful marriage. Such a shame though, given all the stumping Matheson did to try to get him a job...

Oilers home record in 16/17: 25-12-4

I see a very large effect.

If we win tonight, I think we'll all know why now. And if we lose, we can just pretend this whole discussion never happened.
