Live and let live. Forgiveness is the way. "Don't hate the player, change the game." 🎶He's our next Gretzkyyyy, from the draft lotteryyyy, Hakuna McDavid🎶
can someone with GenAi, eventually be able to import the golden age of the simpsons, and have it create new episodes of it, and have it be just as good?
According to Spec, the Oilers considered healthy scratching Nurse in the 2024 Stanley Cup Final. Wild stuff. It’s going to be a fascinating next month or so. #LetsGoOilers
Zach Werenski (+7 on the season) is the first defenseman in NHL HISTORY to win the Norris by missing the playoffs and not leading Defenceman in scoring.
A new standard for the award was used this year.
Will this standard apply to the Norris next year too?
@GoOilersEh@MikeBartner bouch was much worse defensively and his primary point rate at 5on5 without mcdavid was significantly worse than makar’s without mackinnin. 9 2A to 0 for makar is probably just luck
The arguments
"Bouchard plays with McDavid"
• WAR factors into that. Bouchard still remains top 5 in xG± when all Dman are seperated from their stars. It is commonly known Edm has one of the weakest bottom 6 in the NHL.
"Bouchard can't play defense"
• Bouchard is an elite Dman at reducing the shots and quality against. Not the best at allowing quality against from those shots that do happen.
"He is a PP merchant"
• Being elite offensively and cashing in extremely efficiently when up a man shouldn't ever be a negative thing.
"Watch the game"
• When the xG± leads the next Dman by more than double, you probably are missing far too many details to notice that no Dman has outplayed their opponents more in the past 3 years and more consistently.
Confused why the Avs are getting a pass from media because Makar is out (as they should), but when 2 Oilers C’s were playing with broken ankles, one coming a serious knee injury and the 4C out of the lineup it was “the oilers are a joke and mcdavid should leave” #LetsGoOilers
Now that KHL Playoffs are over and @EdmontonOilers prospect Maxim Berezkin is a 2-time Gagarin Cup Champion with Yaroslavl Lokomotiv...don't be surprised if the Oilers sign the 6'4", 212 LB winger.
