Sometimes I’ll go in for one chip out of the bag, but then I grab like 6. Then I gotta try and play chip Jenga and eat them one by one without any falling. I go for one. They all fall out of my hand on the ground. I eat them. The bag is empty.
The PHWA has decided Kucherov was more valuable this season than McDavid
More goals? McDavid
More points? McDavid
Higher TOI? McDavid
Higher WAR? McDavid
Better Defensively? McDavid
Worse Supporting Cast? McDavid
Connor losing is a disgrace to the sport
Imagine if Evan Bouchard:
Missed the playoffs entirely
Disappeared in the last 10 critical games of the season
Finished at only +7
Scored -14 less points than the lead in D scoring
Had the most giveaways per game in the NHL
Would he get a single Norris Trophy Vote??

There’s some rumors floating around that Darnell Nurse has sold his home in Edmonton. Not sure if there’s any truth to this yet but something to keep an eye on #LetsGoOilers
Stan Bowman HAS to be fired after this 1st rd exit. His moves had the Oilers wasting $9.2M in salary on a backup goalie and a scratched forward. Paid to trade away Mangiapane who he JUST signed
Also gave up Skinner, Kulak, and a 2nd for Connor Ingram to be his playoff starter…
Kind of hard to believe that the Oilers are going to burn the prime years of McDavid and Draisaitl because management couldn't find a #1 goalie with a 100-game shelf life for 12 consecutive seasons or more
The worst part about all this is you just know we are going to hear rumours about Nurse going all off season just for him to suit up game 1 of the 2026/27 regular season.
Darnell Nurse has 7 regular season goals this year and 0 playoff goals.
He has also scored 5 own goals during the regular season and 2 own goal in playoffs.
He now has just as many goals on his OWN net as he has on the opponents net this year.
Insane.
So these two guys got together and said what?
“You see anything?”
“Nope did you see anything”
“Nope i couldn’t see shit”
“Me neither. So no goal?”
“Well the crowd is going nuts and Ryan Poehling said it was in so i think we say it’s a goal”
“Yeah good idea. That’s a goal”
You couldn’t write this script any better. The Nurse contract has hampered the Oilers from adding depth in the McDrai era, and now the game-winner goes off his skate to seal the deal.
Oilers goaltending in October:
Stuart Skinner: .896 SV% and 2.59 GAA
Calvin Pickard: .846 SV% and 3.50 GAA
Bowman said if the goaltending wasn't good enough it would be addressed.
This isn't good enough. Address it.
