Teams have won the cup with far less talent.

You have McDavid and Draisaitl and make the playoffs once in the last 5 years with both of those guys on your team? Name one other team with that type of firepower and all star names who regularly finished last or second last in their division over the last decade even?

Edmonton has "always" underachieved? Recently? Yes! Always? 5 Cups say NO! 🙂

Sorry, meant recent history. They have arguably the best player in the world in McDavid.

Once again before the season started who would you have picked as the better goalie?

If NHL GMs were given the opportunity to pick either

Two Oiler fans defending their team. So I’m gonna just disagree with you both and leave it at that.

Here's hoping Tippett can be the guy to get them back in the groove this year

Let's hope that Deboer gets vegas playing consistently again. They are way too

I still think Arizona and Vegas will finish in the division's top three.

1/23/20 9:45am

I would love to get back to seeing a Battle of Alberta in the playoffs again.

Fleury was playing really well before his father passed away. He has really

None of the other Pacific teams has shown any more consistency than Vegas

If that does happen, my prediction of one of either Arizona or Vegas getting in would be accurate.

At the very least, I expect them to get a puck-moving defenseman
