@slclax@JustinOilers@Copasetic_ILL I am agreeing with you. They have been good for a long time, and run into injuries at the wrong time.
Not much different than Nuge, Ekholm, Hyman last year or Connor, Leon, Dickinson this year for the Oilers.
Absolute marathon. The healthiest team in May/June, usually wins
@slclax@JustinOilers@Copasetic_ILL They stayed physically healthy, from Game 1 vs Ottawa to finish.
That cannot be overstated.
Ehlers missed 1 game, Nikishin 2.
That’s it. Almost unheard of, but so is 16-3 in this day and age.
Goes hand and hand.
@stoltzmason28@PuckReportNHL@TheFourthPeriod Let’s be clear, if there’s one person who thinks Darnell is worth his contract it’s Ken Holland, and now he has Kopitars money to spend on him! Funny, but probably not entirely wrong either
@Howlingmutant0 Then the “fans” shouldn’t sell their tickets on resale platforms, but they do because 50-200k profit is life changing money, for most.
All reasonable arguments, from everyone involved. The only unhappy folks are those who can’t afford the resale market.
🥅 Want in on a #StanleyCup Playoffs secret?
The team that gets better goaltending wins ~80% of postseason series... and it's mostly *random*

@DoughertySean@wyshynski@ESPNInsights I can’t speak to way back but the 3 Oilers Game 1st in my life time
Carolina won at home
Florida won at home
Edmonton won at home
Thinking back to ‘23 Vegas won at home
Seems like road teams don’t win all that often Game 1, and obviously if they do not from multiple goals down
