Didn't like Corey Perry before this season...
I've liked: - how he congratulated Hyman for 50
- dopped the mitts with Stanley last night.
- went into the box to high 5 Nurse after fight
- told the whole team to check ego at the door and just win baby!
The guy gets it!!
#Oilers
have won 10 straight.....and fans are still shitting on Kane or Ceci or Janmark or Pickard or Brown or.....
Will some of you ever shut the fuck up and enjoy the ride?
#Oilers
my fellow fans in Western Canada....puck drop here in NL is 12:20am so please shut up about a 8:50pm start in Edmonton....i would be over the moon for thaf!!
#Oilers
Can someone explain to me how the
#Canucks
and their fans are playing the underdog card? They won the division, beat the Oilers 4 times this season and have home ice.
Are Canuck fans that insecure about their team?
@timandfriends
ALWAYS the way in EDM, the media hammer the players. AND its fair on some level. BUT they kiss the rear end of Holland, Tippett, Katz and Nicholson. If they attacked the suits like they attack the players the organization would likely be in a better place.
#Oilers
For all the clowns in other fan bases....if 14 consecutives wins is only because of the supposed "weak" opposition....then why has it only been done 7 times in NHL HISTORY?
Why haven't the other super teams like the Avs, Canucks, Rangers, etc. run off 14 consecutive wins?
@rwesthead
My take is if they did it they did it...........they should pay the price for breaking the law.
Unless of course you are the Chicago Blackhawks and the NHL needs the market so you get a generational player.
Hockey from the NHL to Hockey Canada is its own worst enemy!
#Oilers
in 7 over the
#Canucks
.
Why?
Cause I have confidence in my team and the way they've played the last 60 plus games of the season including round 1.
Will it be easy? Hell no, the Canucks are a damn good team.
#Oilers
55 and 86 were not drafted by JJ.
I'm getting the vibe of JJ and SB saying you don't wanna be here with us on a contending team then fuck you....get lost....we only want guys who want to be here.
I can respect that way of thinking.
#Oilers
I'm going to ask all the Avs, Leafs and Canucks fans.....
If the Oilers are so bad.....and your teams are so good....why haven't your teams run off 15 consecutive wins?
When you have a legit answer to this question feel free to let me know.
#Oilers
Why the hell are the EDM MSM deciding to beat the drum on 'Evander Kane is a problem' as the playoffs are starting?
FFS, this can be done during the summer when playoff hockey is over.
STFU and lets the boys focus.
Kaner, Pers and Clouder were good last night!!
#NHL
Hands up if you are surprised that 2 Jets leave the game injured and the Flame culprits are Tkachuk and Giordano....nobody? That's what I thought.....
@ChrisSedenka
Men's hockey.........oh right you're out....or the medal count......is it embarassing to be 3 medals behind a country that has 1/10th your population?.......I would gladly take gun control or getting Trump of office though. Thanks!
#VaccinePassport
You know what annoys the fuck out of me? All of you who say your rights are violated because vaccines are required in public buildings....what about my right to feel safe? Get the damn vaccine and pick another subject to complain about!!!
@DrCanadiaMD
LOL.....give it up man....you talk like the Canucks are saints.....don't dive....don't give cheap shots.....your team employs JT Miller and Zadorov.....neither will ever be confused for a clean player........it went both ways....I'm sorry you have blinders on.
#Oilers
fans going to
@RogersPlace
tonight....you have one job....blow the roof off the place pre-game, anytime they score and any time a King is knocked on his ass!
@RobClarkTenor
you know your job. I'm opening the door of my house in NL and I wanna hear noise!
Let's f'n go!!
#Oilers
Sweet Jesus...are there hockey experts out there saying the Avs in 4? Seriously?
I'm not saying the Oilers win this series but if "hockey fans" think the Avs will breeze past the Oilers they haven't been paying attention in the regular season or playoffs.
@Sid_Seixeiro
Sid, we're not comfortable with you jumping on the band wagon after slighting the Oilers every chance you got for years..........why stop now?
@SportsnetSpec
Mark, when you and your fellow scribes attack Holland, Nicholson, Tippett and Katz like that and say their answers aren't good enough you can talk. Til then zip it. The media always attack the players and kiss the suits rear ends. The players need to be better we know this!
#Oilers
I see Avs fans on Twitter already calling the Oilers a one man team and doing a player for player comparison....it shows they are worried...I'm not guaranteeing anything except our boys are not afraid and will leave it all on the ice.
So, lots of fans say the
#Oilers
wouldn't be the same without McDavid?
Would the Leafs be the same without Matthews?
The Avs the same without MacKinnon?
Boston the same without Pastranak?
That argument is so stupid its not funny.
#Oilers
It's not often a current Oiler takes an 80's Oiler out of the team record books.....11 consecutive wins for Stuart Skinner.....and we all know
@grantfuhr
loves this for his beloved Oilers!
#Oilers
The fact that everyone associated with Vegas from players to fans to management to media are all pissed at Kane is exactly the way Kane wants it and what the Oilers have been missing for years.
Beat'em on the ice, in the alley and at mind games. LOVE IT!
#Oilers
Why is it Oilers Nation MUST tear down every player or prospect the Oilers have? Most of us can't carry their skates to the rink but we rip on them behind a computer screen. Evan Bouchard is 18! Leave the kid alone and let him develop and stop ripping on every mistake!
#Oilers
The fact Stauffer is pumping the Hall to Edmonton trade means Holland has considered it and is either pushing for it or seriously considering it. It's rare Bob pumps the tires of a trade like this without something happening....
#Oilers
Kris Russell plays on MY TEAM....he battles his ass off every night for the Oil drop.....he does not deserve what happened to him tonight!!!.....you slam him you slam me and I don't take kindly to that!!
#Oilers
So the word from Dustin Penner among others is players don't like the behavior of the fanbase. Might have a point. Perhaps the fans should support the players instead of rip them every chance they get....me included...
#foodforthought
#Oilers
Just wondering had the
#Avs
,
#Flames
,
#Canucks
or
#Leafs
won 16 in a row with the same supposed weak schedule the Oilers had.....would it be considered a legit run?
Would love for their fans to answer that one....
#oilers
I'd put 97 and 29 up against Matthews/Tavares, Crosby/Malkin, Backstrom/Kuznetsev, Getzlaf/Kesler and any other centre combo in the league and feel very comfortable. Why? Cause the EASTERN NHL media really has no idea how good 29 really is.
#Oilers
IF Evander Kane is supposed to be an asshole of the highest order........I've not seen any of it since he signed with the Oilers.....the last 2 weeks his involvement in the community has been nothing short of inspiring....something a few more of his teammates should try.
#Oilets
WOW, I just read some of the comments on the Oilers Twitter feed after the draft section was posted. I am embarrassed to be an Oilers fan...wow, the kid realizes a dream and "we" shit on him....wow...we all need to be better.
@m_dan25
@BaileyLAKings
@LAKings
Very classy by Bailey and the Kings! Rivals on the ice but united in our love and support of Ben off it.! We all hope Ben is around for many many many more Kings-Oilers games!
Dear
@EdmontonOilers
Unlike some fans who feel the need to write you a letter to tell you they are unhappy with you and leaving Oilers Nation I'm writing this Tweet to say I'm in it till we win it again!
Go Oil!!
Growler Doug
Before any
#Oilers
fan in Saskatchewan or Alberta complains about an 8:30pm puck drop tonight, know for me in NL, puck drop is midnight.
So SHUT UP! I don't want to hear it.
Watch or go to bed!
#Oilers
Why is it the Leafs, Flames and many other fan bases along with their media are so focused on crapping on McDavid and the Oilers? Is it simply an inferiority complex or are they unsure of there own teams?
#hasntthemediaalreadygiventheLeafstheCup
#Oilers
What a beautiful night! The Flames lost the game, the fights, their composure, the stick flipper gave up 6, Smith beat up Talbot, Gio and Little Matty were gutless as per usual.....and can any Flame fan tell me if Lucic played?
@Lowetide
LT its not a late start in Edmonton....it's a late start in St. John's where the puck won't actually drop until about 11:45pm.....that's a late start for us dedicated fans here.
@ShiDavidi
Shi, tell me how Atkins and Schneider walk in the clubhouse in the spring and next season and have any credibility? From where I sit they don't.
The fans have lost faith in the Mark Shaprio regime....
@Sid_Seixeiro
Sid....Shapiro, Atkins and Schneider have lost the fan base.
Since the weird pursuit of Ohtani and then little else this off season we the fans have wondered what the hell the game plan really it.
#oilers
Two things after tonights game: 1.) Evan Bouchard is a special player and he may as well find a place to stay I can't see him going back to junior. 2.) This team is more united this season than any point last year. They are ready to compete and battle. Good signs!
@bnicholsonsmith
Mark Shaprio has never managed a big market club until the Blue Jays. So he thinks small market still. AND if he he thinks the trade was equal value he needs to be fired immediately.
#Oilers
As an Oiler fan I hope the Leafs pay Matthews $15 million, Marner $10 million and Nylander $8 million to go along with Tavares $11 million....caise then Leafs Nation will have to stop giving salary cap advise cause they will be fucked 6 ways to Sunday.
@VGKWarMachine
@EdmontonOilers
Hang on now....while I have issues with the way Vegas operate and question some of the injuries....I don't condone intentionally hurting anyone....don't you dare associate all Oiler fans with that tweet....be better.
@CanadaSoccerEN
@ShaniaTwain
I love this. Team building and bonding is huge in an event like this. They work hard on the field so having a little fun on the bus is awesome. Go Canada Go!!
@rayferrarotsn
I see your 81 goals over 140 plus games and give you 208 points over the last 164 nobody else is close.....IF McDavid played in Toronto he would be a god and none of the media would talk about anyone else.....it is ridiculous how good McDavid is....
@SportsnetSpec
Spec, I forgot that you were a goal scorer in the NHL before your journalist career...when was that again? Right? NEVER!
WE get you don't like JP.
Yes the kid should have burried that but he does lots away from the puck you rarely point out.
@JasonGregor
The team got murdered 5 v 5 by a team missing 6 regulars and he liked the game?
His top pair were awful on the MacKinnon goal.
He got the matchups totally wrong.
Without Skinner the game is a blow out.
What game was Woodcroft watching?
Potentially unpopular
#Oilers
thought....I like Kevin Gravel! I also think Caleb Jones is close to staying for good. Garrison, Wideman and Benning should be worried.
@OvertimeScottB
Scott, I like this and maybe it needs to be one on one. But Drai and Matty have had exchanges before. Drai answered the question and said he didn't want to elaborate as is his right. Matheson didn't like that and he called him pissy. How would you react? I woulda said worse.
#Oilers
I don't care about the refs or the start time or anything else...
Game 4 tonight is all about 97 29 93 25 18 91 14 and 2 forcing their will on it and getting the job done.
The leadership core likes to talk and now its time to deliver.
#Oilers
I find it hilarious that supposed Oiler fans are ripping McDavids influence on the team.......shouldn't the thinking be man that's awesome keep it up! I could care less if he;s in on 97% of the goals all season if the team WINS!
@GinoHard_
I dont blame him over the course of his Oiler career....but he's been a shadow of himself so far this season.....the ways it's going he should sit til he's healthy.
@Sid_Seixeiro
Hey Sid, you think the German Nation Soccer teams would show Canada mercy? NO chance. You wanna play with the big boys this can happen. Would you be so pissed if Canada ran up the score against the US/Russia/Sweden? NO.
#CanWNT
I'm sorry but I'm of the opinion that Bev Priestman should be OUT as the coach of the women's national team.
2 drone events? She knew about and allowed this. Not good enough.
If Draisailt played in the east
@wyshynski
would trumpet him as the best player in the league. Maybe the eastern media should stay up and watch the Oilers play a few games....before offering a sermon.
@nielsonTSN1260
If the Flames are resorting to attempt to injure Oiler players that says 2 things....1) they are very worried in this series...........and 2.) they are completely gutless and classless....when did it become do anything possible including trying to injure someone to win!
@DNBsports
DNB....the EARLIEST start time so far here in Newfoundland has been 11:30pm....it's a complete joke!
The god damn Leafs are out and the last 2 Canadian teams are still on at all hours of the night in Canada!!
#Oilers
AA-McD-Ennis, Nuge-Drai-Yammo and Archie-Sheahan-Kass.......IS the best top 9 the Oilers have had since 2006....and has potential if they gel and stay healthy.
@NHLPlayerSafety
Are you kidding me
@nhl
? You're letting "Home Run Swing" Pietrangrlo get away with one game for trying to break Draisaitls arm/wrist?
Pathetic!
And everyone knows you only did this cause Nurse got a game as well.
You did nothing here except make it worse.
@Burrows_steals
2 things.......you can only play the next team on the schedule.....and you would shit on the Oilers if they lost to those teams.....I know the fear is real.
#Oilers
The Flames are 66% favorites against the Oilers
- 1 more win in the regular season
- 11 loser points to 6
- less wins on home ice
- 3 more goals scored
- they were better defensively
- Oilers won 3 of 5 regular season meetings
How is this anything but a pick'em series?
