Oilers aren't making the playoffs, right?

Right.

Good, safe answer there. LOL.

I know you feel you’re entitled to an answer, I would simply suggest you are not. There’s really no reason or benefit to answer questions you demand answers to, simply because you demand it. I’m sorry this trying time must be tough for you.

You're such a microcosm of Calgarians...lol

Couple of classic non-answer snarky posts here. Be better ratay.

I don't feel I'm entitled to anything, nor does it bother me as much as you may think. I thought it was a pretty simple question. I get it. You're willing to criticize and be critical of certain reporters, but not willing to expose who you think are "good media" by naming actual names for rear of being criticized yourself. I think everyone here can see that now.

Also, the fact that you aren't an Oilers fan means you probably rarely listen to Oilers reporters all that often anyway, so it's hard to take your opinion seriously. You get bits and pieces and make uneducated opinions based on limited knowledge.

It's all good. My day will go on.

A streak like this is a good way to sort of reset the counter for Edmonton. They still need to keep their foot on the pedal, but with a so-so crop of potential wildcard teams they have a decent shot.

It's amazing how this team does this. They are capable of such brilliance and dominance, and at the same time capable of such abysmal play. I have never seen anything like it. It was the same thing last year. I don't doubt that they will make the playoffs now, but clearly something needs to change before they win another cup. I don't get it...

Oilers playoff probability on hockey reference is now up to 48.2%

[kovalchuk17]

For the sake of my fantasy team (Mcjesus, RNH, Nurse, EKane), I hope they at least make it interesting lol

Definitely pleased with the turnaround. Im currently in first place in my main league hahaha.

Definitely up a lot but since they are on very hot streak now, cooldown is coming at some point and it will set them back a bit again...they really dug big hole to start the season and while i never count out 2 best players in the league, i think they still have deep hole to climb. There will be ups and downs.

They are sort of like the current Islanders, except the Isles do it with defense. And when the defense is bad, they are bad.

[Kreids Fan]

they need to trade Draisaitl to acquire depth, particularly an upgrade in goal.

I don’t think they will do that. If they are going to make the push for the playoffs and then if they get in a run in the playoffs they will need both Draisaitl and McDavid. Now moving RNH is definitely an option for possibly a goalie if Skinner is not the answer or if he is than moving RNH move pieces for depth.

The team is trash and they should trade both McDavid and Draisaitl, preferably for some depth defense and a 3rd string goaltender.

I agree the defense needs help, but not at the expense of destroying the offense. The offense has other pieces to it that could get some help on for the defense including RNH and a few others. They get rid of McDavid and Draisaitl for upgrades on the defense then they become a team like the New York Islanders.

Did they move ahead of the Flames last night?

Asking for a friend.

It was a joke.
