      Draisaitl also missed a wife open net. Which he typically doesn't miss. It just wasn't the oilers game, despite skinner doing great in net. Hill was standing on his head and one missed snipe from.leon changed the whole game.
      Let the haters hate, it was a great game of hockey. Oilers keeping their opposition to only scoring 2 on skinner will lead to overall success. Oilers score 3 or more goals most games. Letting in 2 every game and scoring more than 2, sounds to me like a recipe for longevity in the season and hopefully translates post season

      keefe should have been fired months ago. but he wasn't, so, they're stuck for this year. this year is a wash. they'll be lucky to make the playoffs, and if they do they definitely are not going for a run at anything other than the tee blocks.
      so, instead of contraversally firing keefe months ago, you hold out and make the guaranteed move when leafs don't make the playoffs, or lose in the 1st round again. then, nobody is going to be hunting your head for a questionable decision.
      unfortunately nobody in the toronto franchise gets paid to win, and its all about self preservation. i'd say the bigger problem at hand here is shanny

      The leafs invested in 4 forwards with minimal heart. Maybe if they were actually power forwards they would carry the team, but instead it's a miracle if they backcheck, they coast to the bench at .2km/hr, and the only time they perform like superstars is when a contract is on the line.

      I mostly agree as a team can only play whoever is infront of them and they still took care of business. I will say that realistically when the league does take travel, strength of conferences, # of games per week, strength of schedule balancing into it. The probability of getting a long stretch of games for multiple teams isn't likely. Simply because it also means they will get a brutal stretch to compensate for the easy one.

It's still a great run because yeah...winning 16 games in a row in the NHL is hard, but it still doesn't mean people aren't correct to want to see how they do against some better teams.

    I think that ALL STAR BREAK resulted in the Oilers losing a bit of their momentum. Lots of NHL playoff history shows that teams with the longer breaks from ending their previous series earlier than their next opponent, come out a little rusty compared to the team with the shorter break. I think the Oilers came out out a little rust against Vegas, but ultimately, it was not a big deal. Winning 24 of their previous 27 games had moved the Oil up into a solid.2’nd place in their division, which meant much more than tying.a league record 17 game winning streak. They were now in a solid playoff position, which they kept until the playoffs began.

      I think something that is lost here is that prior to the 16 game win streak they also had an 8 game win streak. Including the loss to vegas, they’re 24 wins in their last 28 games. Will that come down? Yea for sure. But i question “old habits”. That’s nearly 1,700 minutes of game, plus probably another 3,500 minutes of practice.
      They look like a completely different team - the team everybody expected them to be right out of the gate. If anything - when you look at the second half of last season, and the first half of this season, the brutal start of the 23/24 season looks like the anomaly, and not the norm you seem to be implying.

      @@ryanbaldwin4849 You have a lot of good points here.
      I didn't want to imply that they are as bad as at the very beginning of the season - not at all. But they still have their issues many want to brush under the carpet because of the two super shiny objects they have upfront.
      They were not that bad of a team before they fired their coach, neither did they just learn how to skate, pass, or defend since then. It was always in them. But the same goes for the bad stuff - it is always in them.
      Where I want to go with this is momentum and confidence. It is a powerful sword - when you have it, just as well the absence of it. It then really comes down to what can they deliver on a constant basis (what is their true talent level).
      They massively underachieved before the coaching change, and they did, with quite a margin overachieve since. This is why coaching change bounces wear off.
      Hence, the true level of the Oilers might be somewhere in between the amazing win streak they just put up and the hockey they showed us before the coaching change. Just as well as they are one injury away from struggling again...what if #97 or #29 go down?? The two together are much more powerful than the sum of their individual talents alone.

      I think the oilers are often seen as “just mcjesus and drai”, but as a life long oilers fan they are so much more than that now. Ryan Nugent Hopkins has turned a leaf and has averaged roughly 1ppg over the past 1.5 seasons. Zach Hyman has blossomed into a legit threat with roughly 1ppg as well. You have Bouchard who is just shy of a 1ppg dman. On top of that you have Ekholm, Kane, Nurse, and Now Perry, which makes the team literally tough to play against.
      The team has a lot more depth than they did two years ago, and more than last year. The big question i have, and it has been the same question for 30 years, is goal tending. I know skinner has been closely watched his whole life and he has a lot of respect among players, but so far it hasn’t translated into consistent play (until recently). And then there’s campbell which is just a huge turd of a signing. Frankly, i think the team can stay competitive as much as any team who loses their star player, but if Skinner gets wrecked, or gets overplayed and exhausted, or loses confidence? We are sunk.
      Look at us, having decent conversation on TH-cam of all places.

The 92-93 Pens that set the 17 wins in a row during the regular season did this without a shootout match or any ties. If this Oilers team was given the same circumstances as the record holders did, the Oilers would have ended their streak some time ago.

    People who keep saying "tHeY fInAlLy HaD tO fAcE a GoOd TeAm" or "iT wAs A sOfT sChEdUlE" seem to be missing two things: the first being that if this is so easy then why isn't every team doing it, and the second being that not only was half the run good teams (including the LA Kings) but teams we historically have struggled against.
    Like look at where those teams were when we beat them, not where they are now. The Kraken were on a bit of a tear themselves, the Kings were the only team keeping us out of the top 3, and historically we had struggled against the New York Rangers- those are just three examples.

    Great video, and you`re one of the few guys out there that understands the combination of defense and goaltending. People still think it was goalies that let the Oilers down to start the season. In fact it was bad team defense paired with subpar goalies. The gaps, space and absence of any pressure have been a feast for other teams forwards during that 18 games.
    The Oilers, i`m not sure about them. 16 W is impressive. But the schedule was soft and the first proper opponent did bring down the streak.
    How good is their middle 6 and their D really? How good is their goaltending at all? They are running Skinner + Pickard, which is by no means a great tandem in the league.
    They could use a 2nd line RW, a 3rd line Center, a top pair RD, a veteran backup. Good luck without cap space to figure that out.
    Right now, if i look at Florida, NYR, Bruins, Nucks, Jets, Avs, even Vegas when healthy, they seem to have more pieces in place.
    Look at the Avs, add a goalie and some depth, and that`s a cup winning team.

    Adin Hill is an elite goalie. His GSAA -- which is a cumulative stat, by the way, it doesn't pro-rate to 60:00 minutes like GAA -- is more than Demko's IN HALF AS MANY STARTS! His save percentage is 39% better than the league average. His goals allowed average (opponents' S% normalized so that 100 is average and 99 is 1% better than 100) in Vegas's cup run would have been top-3 in the league had it played out over the whole season. I hear everyone coming out with their mock Olympic rosters, and quite frankly, Adin Hill WILL be the starter for Canada (barring injury). Hell if the Olympics were tomorrow, he'd be my pick.

    it wasn't luck that got the Oilers 16 wins. just like it wasn't luck that the B's smashed the highest win streak in NHL history last year. the TEAM went for it, worked well, and played well enough to get those W's. sometimes teams are worn and rusty and the other team just out skates them. it happens. like the B's getting knocked out 1st round.
    why it's so crushing to get a big L on the verge of a record is armchair commentators hyping up fairweather fans. at this point literally EVERYTHING in sports is "we could be watching greatness"....when really you're just watching hockey. when your only expectation is "the next..." then you're only in for disappointment. the B's got pretty shaken up by the post season, and they were expected to fall into predictable patterns, a playoff team but just barely. certainly not a contender....and all hope is on Bedard for Chicago....but look at where those 2 teams finished the first 1/2 of the season. Bedard is flashy but nowhere near Crosby's rookie season (which considering all the circumstances, is the exact expectation for Bedard)...and with both Hall and Foligno, the Blackhawks SHOULD be setting up for playoff contention instead of praying that every team they play gets food poisoning the night before the game just for the chance of a wildcard. meanwhile the B's who were expected to barely make the playoffs are in good position for another President's Trophy run. will it be another record? NO. does it matter? NO. will the B's get another President's Trophy? probably not, but they still looking good.

And something I was noticing while at the game they tried to keep a guy on the opposing blue line for a stretch pass.
