Comedy gold out of Edmonton

No regulation win for Edmonton tonight either, let's see if they can get the OT bonus point.

Nope, just a loser point for the Oil.

Edmonton stat keepers padding the shot totals at home in trying to boost analytics?!?

The league average is +0.8
The league absolute differential is 3.3

Oilers almost 15

It seems steep but it’s pretty easy for coaches to line match against the Oilers with home ice advantage considering they only have one dangerous line to deploy. Could be when they lose that advantage Todd gets the most out of McDavid’s line.

I find it funnier that in 9 home games Edmonton has outshot the opponent 8 times and yet they are 21st in the league in goals scored per game at home. Leads credence to some fishy statkeeping although I can’t imagine who benefits from such things.

it's vital for the Corsi Cup.
funny that even Buffalo's stats keeper doesn't like the Sabres.

Chia got hosed again. At least the Kings could have thrown in a urinal or two to sweeten the deal.

How the Matt Barzal-Jordan Eberle combo is setting the Islanders up for success

The Oilers loss has been the Islanders gain here, with the latter taking advantage of the opportunity to buy Eberle stock when his value was as low as it was ever going to be. Him and Barzal have been dynamite together since being put together a couple of weeks ago. It’s still a relatively small sample, but in the ~86 minutes the two have played together at 5-on-5, the Islanders have controlled a sparkling 62.6 per cent of shot attempts, 64.6 per cent of the shots on goal, and have outscored opponents 6-1.

Most importantly, it’s finally given the Islanders a legitimate secondary scoring threat behind Tavares and his line. That kind of 1-2 punch is something the Isles have craved for much of Tavares’ time with the team, particularly since Frans Nielsen walked in free agency and left the team with a hole down the middle.

So, Oilers fans on HF Boards are already talking about trying to land another #1 overall pick - As a reminder, you never ever ever feel sorry for Oilers fans, the most smug, arrogant, and undeserving fans in hockey.

The new leader of the NDP is right. Pack it in, Edmonton.

It's Dahlin. GET IT RIGHT!!!

Also, I must have missed/forgotten the Russell signing. LOL. They could have had Marc Methot for a pick or a prospect at that price. Or made some kind of deal for Shea Theodore. I mean, yeesh.

Maybe I misspelled his name in the hopes that Chia might select the wrong guy?!?

/Nah, just a typo

I don't think Chia will be the guy making the picks if they wind up in the lotto.

I hope McTambeloweni makes the Oilers 2018 lottery selection.

Will the next Oilers sweater thrown on the ice be orange, blue, or white?
