A look back at the fall and rise of Edmonton Oilers netminder Grant Fuhr circa 1989-91

Most view Gretzky's 200 pt yrs as the tip of the iceberg.
If you watched him play, you could argue, his all around game was at its best from '86-'87, the Canada Cup & '87-'88.
IMO, we're seeing something similar from McDavid. Reaching another level later in his career #Oilers
It's still early in the Oilers campaign but the goaltending is doing what I was expecting it to do.
The occassional timely stop & eliminating the ill-timed goals against makes a huge difference. Both on the scoreboard and in the heads of all the players.
Love to see it.
I was hoping the Oilers would come out & deliver an ass-kicking to quiet those who felt the loss to the Mammoth was a sign of things to come.
This goes well beyond that & sends a clear message. This team is focused, much more relaxed, having fun & going to get better. Impressive
As a collective, can't be overly disappointed with the Oilers. A regulation loss was coming. You can only hold on for so long with the amount of bodies they're missing.
It's going to take time but if they figure out the penalty kill, this team is going to pile up points.
I find it curious why Oilers fans have the need to shit on Makar when he makes a bad play because others who know nothing about Bouchard's game slag him for his. Two idiotic claims don't make anything better. In all honesty, who cares. Just enjoy the guy you have on your side.
Yes, the Oilers were outshot. Which seems to always be the case against LA.
With that said, it was controlled & there were very few of those awful reads/decisions that led to ridiculous chances against.
With the bodies they're missing, I'll take this. Goalies doing their part
It's cool that they brought all the injured guys for the game as well. Believe it or not, team bonding is super important
Football Sundays 🏈
The #Oilers are taking in a little @Broncos vs. @chargers action on their day off in LA! #LetsGoOilers
