Happy guy. Grateful, always. Play La Bamba, Baby! People of integrity expect to be believed, and when they’re not, they let time prove them right.

Holding BC to 16 points is phenomenal

This is pretty insane. Oilers have the top three scorers in the league, and McDavid has more assists than any other player has points

I never like using the refs as an excuse but giving Anaheim 9 minutes of powerplay time in one period is a bit much

I didn’t think it was possible for Podkolzin to endear himself more to fans

I get why it’s happening, but 3 on 3 somehow sucks now

Nice PK work there by Muk, I’m glad Babcock put him right back out after he got his pocket picked

Jarry cleared the zone better than Muk there

I think that I was wrong about Babcock. Most Oilers fans are above average in their knowledge of the game, and Babcock speaks to those people. But most importantly, he has brought accountability where it is much needed. Scratching Walman? Which other Oilers coach would dream of such a thing? We screamed for it for Nurse and others over the years and then lamented the hiring of a coach who would actually do it. Whatever happens from here, it should set a different standard.
"He's a real hockey player. He's beyond smart and makes the right plays all the time." Coach Babcock praised what Ryan Nugent-Hopkins has brought to the #Oilers lineup since returning from injury following Saturday's victory. @Enterprise | #LetsGoOilers

Shows up in the overall xGF% as well. The strategy seems to be to force other teams to deal with the fab five for 40-50% of the game, capitalize on the PP, and break even with the rest of the lineup rather than coming at opponents in waves. Very curious how it holds up over the long term
The Oilers are 9-2-2 and 1st in the Pacific. Mike Babcock has them playing a very different brand of hockey - less risk, fewer mistakes. Early returns are positive...

In case you’re more of a squinting person than a scrolling person… We now have TWENTY of the upcoming Hometown Remix jerseys, nearly 2/3rds of the league. Who’s in the lead for your favorite? 🍎: @abslswrld @carterrichardd

Oilers have slipped to sub-50% in 5x5 expected GF% per 60. They’re still a top ten team in xGA, but even with the big line going supernova they’re 29th in xGF Unless something changes quickly the regression is going to be rather jarring

Postava didn’t even have to read shot from Nugent-Hopkins, even the broadcast knew he had to shoot, and the goalie gave him nothing to shoot at. First two saves were athletic, last one was cerebral. Well played

This second period feels like a full game and it’s still not over

Jarry has played great, but the dam finally broke
