At 5-on-5 this season, Evan Bouchard has now been on the ice for 11 goals for and only 1 against. #LetsGoOilers

Had to go check this lightning strike damage out in person after seeing pics online. Stopped by this morning before work. #yegwx
Why is this just accepted as normal in football? Bosnia set the tone early and Canada's definitely doing their part as well but this is PAINFUL and embarrassing to continuously watch 😂 #worldcup

With essentially a one-year McDavid window, the Oilers hiring a guy who hasn't coached an NHL game in 7 years and got fired from his last job before even stepping behind the bench would legitimately be one of the most insane management decisions of all time
With how bad driving is in Edmonton, every day should be "Operation 24 Hours". Driving in this city is horrific
Police issue 662 violations during "Operation 24 Hours": Edmonton Police Service (EPS) officers and City of Edmonton automated enforcement issued a total of 662 traffic violations during the most recent Operation 24 Hours, which was held during Canada… dlvr.it/TSfs1c

If the Oilers beat Florida in that game 7, McDavid would be hailed as one of the greatest leaders, charging back down 3 games… they don’t, they lose a close one and he is now considered a terrible leader obviously 🙄

They didn't kill cable. They became it.

We all have biases and first impressions impact our views of players. It is difficult to change how we see a player. A bad start is hard to overcome, while a good start keep player in good books
In October:
Makar had 17 pts in 12 GP and was +14.
Hutson had 10 pts in 11 GP and was +11
Werenski had 8 pts in 10 GP and was +9
Q. Hughes had 7 pts in 9 GP and was -1
Bouchard had 7 pts in 12 GP and was -9.
Since November 1st:
Makar has 43 pts in 46 GP and is +15.
Hutson has 49 pts in 48 GP and is +20
Hughes has 52 pts in 42 GP and is -2.
Werenski has 57 pts in 44 GP and is -1
Bouchard has 62 pts in 49 GP and is +23
You can also look at GF% overall, which I think is important to not just look at 5x5, since much higher percentage of goals/TOI come on special teams. D-men on PK and PP impact overall game even more. Fun discussion, but no question pre-conceived notions on players impact how we view them, good or bad.

Goes in: “McDavid wins the big game!”
Doesn’t go in: “McDavid can’t win the big game”
Just absolutely ridiculously silly

-Blackouts will still exist,
(heavily in Canadian markets.)
-The App interface & functionality is awful compared to other platforms.
-there’s essentially only 2 interesting personalities on Sportsnet (Friedman and Bieksa)
I have 0 idea how they can justify this price jump

I'm just flipping through Oilers twitter for today because I had other stuff going on. Some of y'all need to take a breath, for your heart health or something. It's June 28th. Free agency doesn't even start until July 1st. There's lots to expect, but this a sport and team we all share a mutual love of. "Enjoy the process."
We ended tonight's Oilerslive episode much like we do every episode, where someone gets the last word. Tonight's last word belonged to Bruce. I'll warn you now, it'll make you smile and cry. This was one of our episodes from last year and he never disappointed...not once.
