Poised, professional performance from the @EdmontonOilers
Great start.
Two EVS Goals from the 2nd line: Podkolzin and Hyman
Draisaitl 2 goals.
Bouchard 3 assists.
McDavid and RNH 2 assists.
Ingram solid with 29 saves
Great win for the Oil. McDavid looked awesome. Dominant first period leads to an easy win. Gotta win a game in Anaheim. They’re due for a W there. Drag em back Berta #LetsGoOilers

Norris trophy winners should be able to at the very least get their team into a playoff spot.
The team with the best defenceman in the league doesn’t miss the playoffs.
@OADSBW Also very possible they play the Avs in the first round. Scary but not that far fetched given the fact that LA beat the Oilers in regulation yesterday and has a game at hand while only being 3 points back.
5 STANLEY CUPS.
9 STANLEY CUP FINALS.
The Edmonton Oilers own the BEST playoff winning percentage in NHL history.
Let that sink in.
Haters can talk all they want…the numbers don’t lie.
We need to address NHL media and fans hatred for the Oilers
McDavid and Bouchard lead their position in points by large margins
“Shouldn’t be a Hart finalist”
“Shouldn’t be a Norris finalist”
If any other guys put up these numbers, they’d be the clear favorites. It’s sad
The Edmonton Oilers this season:
- Worst goaltending in the league
- Didn’t win 3 straight games until Jan 26
- Lost Draisaitl for the season
- Called “washed bums”
- Employed Darnell Nurse
And despite all this, they are favorites to win their first division title in 40 years
