Ryan Nugent-Hopkins has been an Oiler for 11 years. He’s been through more shit in Edmonton than any player I can think of. He never asked out once. Him smiling at Oilers fans, chanting to him during his media availability last night, is all I need to see. I’m so happy for him.
I truly believe Evander Kane is turning his life around and has found a home here in Edmonton. You can be sour all you want. He has been a class act since coming to Edmonton and has lived up to hockey expectations.
#ExtendKane
Paul Coffey comes in this year and it was his first ever time coaching.
First media availability in November, he said he’s gonna fix it. Then just crushes it and takes the Oilers defense to the Stanley Cup Final.
What a flex man. What a flex.
#LetsGoOilers
Keith is an Oiler. The Oilers are better with Keith on the team. All the Twitter GM’s need to chill out. Give the man a chance and let’s support him. Holland ain’t done yet. Let’s go Keith!
#LetsGoOilers
Evander Kane played through injuries that most of you probly wouldn’t even be able to get out of bed for.
Come playoff time the Oilers are gonna have a healthy Evander Kane to activate.
A healthy Evander Kane is a lethal player in the playoffs.
Kane belongs on this team.
I remember in the decade of darkness the Oilers couldn’t even get AHL’ers to sign in Edmonton.
Star NHL Veterans are now taking less money to sign in Edmonton.
Read that again.
What a ride it’s been!
Brock Boeser has battled hard in this series and deserves a chance to be fighting for his team in Game 7. I can’t imagine what he’s going through right now. Hockey is just a sport. Health is real.
Oil Country is thinking of you Brock.
💙 💚 🧡 💙
I’d rather have Mcdavid and Draisaitl on the squad for 30 million dollars,
then not have them, and try and find another Mcdavid and Draisaitl for a decade of darkness.
Signing Draisaitl to a big contract is a good problem to have and every fan base is jealous.
Go Oilers!!!
Honestly, beating the Calgary Flames was this years Stanley Cup for me. Whatever happens from here on out I’m very proud of this team and how they turned this season around. Oilers fan till for life.
Oilers in 7.
It’s May 28th and we are watching the Edmonton Oilers play hockey.
The series is 2-1. It’s far from over.
I’m sick of of the meltdowns on here from Oilers fans after a loss. It’s the playoffs, no one’s leaving. Cheer the boys on.
Believe.
#LetsGoOilers
Topic:
No Edmonton Oiler will ever wear
#94
again.
The Oilers need to retire Ryan Smyth’s jersey this season. He was the heart and soul of the Oilers for many, many years. He deserves to have his number in the rafters.
What a wild rollercoaster this season has been:
Started terrible.
Fired Woody.
Hired Knob,
Campbell sent to AHL
Oilers go 21-3 in 24GP
Skinner wins 10 in a row.
Oilers break Canadian Record with 13 straight wins.
Oilers sign Perry.
Are you not entertained!?!!
I can’t believe the amount of other teams fans are rubbing in the loss on here.
It actually makes me so happy to know how much the Oilers live rent free now in the rest of the NHL.
Edmontons on the map now.
Watch out, the Oilers will be back next year.
#LetsGoOilers
Seriously, how big of a flex is it though that Paul Coffey came in with no coaching experience, and cofidently said he will fix it and then he did fix it, and he wears his SC rings on the bench while coaching.
What an absolute beauty.
Once an Oiler always an Oiler.
Edmonton Oilers in 2015: Drafted Mcdavid and Draisaitl. Team needs Defence and Goaltending.
Edmonton Oilers in 2019: Have Mcdavid and Draisaitl. Team needs Defence and Goaltending.
Edmonton Oilers in 2023: Have Mcdavid and Draisaitl. Team needs Defence and Goaltending.
I stand with Skinner.
Smarten up Oilers fans, this series is far from over.
You think the Oilers were gonna go 16-0 in the playoffs? All 8 teams left are good. This team has rebounded all year. Skinner has rebounded all year. They will rebound again!
#LetsGoOilers
I really can’t believe the St. Louis blues just gave away Klim Kostin. How could you not see the talent and personality in this guy? Huge addition this year. Kenny Holland good work!
You can’t sit here and place blame on Skinner.
His job was to back Up Campbell this season in his rookie year. It wasn’t his job to carry Edmonton through the playoffs. It was supposed to be Campbell’s.
Skinner did an outstanding job this season and he will only get better.
That Game Five Overtime Winning Goal by Connor Mcdavid and Leon Draisaitl will be one of the most iconic goals in Oilers History.
Not just for winning the series, but for dismantling the whole Calgary Flames Organization.
The Oilers do not need a coaching change. They do not need a GM change.
They hit a rough patch and will rebound. They simply need to play better as a TEAM.
The Oilers aren’t going to win every game. 5 games is a rough one, but everyone needs to calm the f$&k down.
Oilers Game Day Prediction:
The Oilers beat the Panthers in OT, gain their confidence back, go on a winning streak, make the playoffs, and win the Stanley Cup.
At the end of the day what Connor Mcdavid does in his personal life is his business.
Everyone on Twitter must live absolute perfect flawless lives I take it?
Let the man live his life. It’s his life, not yours. You may think you know, but you simply don’t.
No matter what happens, I am so proud of this Oilers team.
They brought their season back to life and we are watching them now in June play in the Stanley Cup Final.
The have hole to dig out of, and if there is any team to do it, it’s this Oilers team.
Believe.
I truly can’t believe it.
The last time the Oilers were in the SCF I was 16 years old.
I’m now 34.
Your team being in a SCF Game 7 clearly does not happen very often.
Enjoy every moment Oilers fans, you deserve this.
This is the year. I can feel it.
Cups comin home.
Seriously though, Evander Kane is giving so much love and support to the Edmonton community. He has done nothing but proven people wrong since he’s became an Oiler.
He had a rough season with tough injuries. You’ll see him come out flying next year.
98% of you who say you are done being Oilers fans will be fully watching when they are winning games in the Playoffs next year. So stfu. Throw your internet temper tantrum and let’s carry on.
Hey Oilers Twitter GM’s!! Enough with picking apart every player and their contracts. I find it so crazy that some you are still so negative.
Your team is one win away from an NHL Conference Final. Be positive. Enjoy it. Enjoy the ride. You’ll look back and be glad you did.
Oh are the Vancouver Canucks fans ever gonna be upset when the Edmonton Oilers steal the Pacifc Division.
6 points back with 2 games in hand.
It can be done.
#LetsGoOilers
I hear a lot of analysts saying the Oilers don’t want to meet the Kings in the first round.
I think it’s the other way around. I don’t think there’s one single team in the Western Conference looking forward to playing Edmonton in the playoffs.
Edmonton is literally the city of second chances and opportunity.
Edmonton was there for Evander Kane. Now Evander Kane is there for the Edmonton.
Beautiful contract!
#LetsGoOilers
The Edmonton Oilers have the top two scorers in the NHL and are currently on pace for an 82 point season.
The Oilers Management have once again failed to put depth around Mcdavid and Draisaitl. A couple injuries and this team falls apart.
It’s time to fix this already.
Everyone is bitching about Dallas Eakins…
But if it weren’t for Eakins terrible coaching the Oilers would have never ended up where they did in the draft lotteries and got Connor Mcdavid and Leon Draisaitl.
I think we owe this man some respect lol.
In 2022-23 Jeff Skinner had 82 points.
He’s a multiple 20/30 goal scorer & one time 40 goal scorer on bad teams.
The Edmonton Oilers just signed him for $3M.
Read that again.
The Oilers have basically informally started their training camp two weeks before anyone else. The full team is back in Edmonton early.
The boys sure have a chip on their shoulder. I’ve been watching Oilers hockey all my life and I have never seen a team as hungry as this one.
For someone to come out and publicly state they are getting help with their mental health isn’t easy. He is taking responsibility and fixing his life. He needs support and Edmonton is a great fit for him. He has true character. This is gonna work out!
#LetsGoOilers
Nurse is a number one D-man. That’s what number one D-men make. I think Oilers fans are just not used to having a number one D-man. Nurse is an Oiler for 8 more years. I’m pumped!!!!
#LetsGoOilers
I would just like to remind every maple leaf fan that Connor Mcdavid is an Edmonton Oiler.
He isn’t going anywhere.
Fact check: He has stated this many times.
The Oilers have won 10 straight and people are still trashing guys on the team.
Enough, the teams winning. It’s a team sport. Not everyone’s gonna score 50 goals every year. Enjoy it.
Connor Brown could have shot it there and tried to get his first goal of the season, but he chose to pass it to Nurse so Nurse could try and notch a hat-trick.
That’s a great teammate right there.
Oilers spank Toronto last game but
@Sportsnet
panel wants to talk about how awesome the leafs are during the second intermission of the Oilers game. This is why people hate
@Sportsnet
.
Evander Kane is one of the best mid season pick ups in NHL history. With the number of games he’s played for the Oilers, he is currently on pace for 50 goals.
It’s year eight of Mcdavid and he is on pace for 65-70 goals.
It’s the end of December and almost the halfway point through the season, and the Edmonton Oilers are currently not in a playoff spot.
How is this acceptable to anyone? Anyone at all?
Kane did and is doing exactly what he needs to do. He is getting Vegas off their game, and backed it up by throwing punches and kicking ass.
Welcome to the Playoffs.
Welcome to Oilers hockey.
#LetsGoOilers
You think the Oilers were just gonna have an easy path in the playoffs with no adversity?
This is what makes cup runs great. The drama, the adversity, and the gut check. They have been here before down 3-2 and they will do it again.
In Mcjesus I trust.
The Oilers got Kassian. It worked out.
The Oilers got Kane. It worked out.
Why the hell not go get Corey Perry?
Edmonton’s the city of second chances and rebuilding. Perry is a dynamic player who can play up and down the line up.
I’m in.
