Are the Edmonton Oilers still legitimate Stanley Cup contenders? | Oilers Update
The Edmonton Oilers took a beating on their 1 game road trip to Seattle last night. Along with that, their recent stretch of play, and the team not being at 100% health many people could consider shifting focus to next season.
Today, Tyler and Liam broke down how badly this team just needs to get playoffs started and why things will sound very different around Edmonton after game 1 of the first round.
What do you think the Oilers ceiling is for this season?

Maybe rest all of them for next season 82 games just to be sure of it
No goalies…. Hence EDM 1st round exit. Unless Skinner gets hot likely not. He has been below average this yr. Or Rodriquez takes the reign makes the saves he is supposed to make and is posting .900 plus EDM playoff run could be longer.
Next yr lines
Rnh McDavid hyman
Federic Drais Savoie
Pod Henrique Ard
Janmark Philp Bastien
Ekholm bouchard
Nurse walman
Kulak emberson
Skecher
Skinner
Lyons
So so sad to say I don't think so.
Time to gut this team
But mostly on gutting management and coaching
Abject incompetence
And no goaltending, zero goaltending
The only question is how ugly is the drubbing on Saturday will be
The Oilers will never win a cup with Skinner as their starter. Someone needs to be held responsible for saying this tandem is good enough to get us 16 brutally tough wins over the best teams in the league, and not pushing to get another goalie.
You got softer, older and lack toughness. Your defense and goal tending is some of the weakest in the league. Connor and Leon wont be a 100% in a few weeks.
Nope, they're not
Home ice seems out of reach now. A grim struggle for the rest of the season and then broken down in the playoffs seems more likely.
Oh and they did NOT just about beat Dallas. That game was never in doubt.
@lance_Kane cUp YeAr!
no
Oilers fans are just pathetic! So whiney. This is why oilers might not win the cup because of shitty fans like that. So whiney and dont deserve it! Its cry this and cry that. Us real fans stay with the team no matter what happens! Stop being crybabies
Nope
At what point do we speak the truth and stop the homerism. 2 top five players and never won the division. I'm starting to learn that this fan base is like the steel fan base.
I'm legit worried we won't make past the first rnd
Not even close boys managements screwed up bad 🤦🏼♂️
At the rate the oilers have been going ever since the 4 nations, they may not even make the playoffs.
I doubt the oilers make the playoffs at this rate
Dream on.
Imagine if the ahl goalie comes in and does what vans ahl golie did for them last year.
Not a chance they make it to the final again. Between the pipes is the problem. You’re dreaming otherwise. Missed opportunities.
The Oilers are an elite ringette team at best.
We'll be lucky to make 'also ran' status at this point.
Katz needs to get serious about how this team is managed. Ten years into McDavid's NHL career and the same kind of idiots are calling the shots.
If oilers go all the way their toughest matchup will be the kings round 1
Playoffs Finals🤓
If the Oilers face Vegas in the first round, then they’re cooked.
Just to be clear, the way this year ends is no longer something I'm like ultra engaged in. My excitement for what is going to come in the off season and a full season of NHL Savoie next year is what I'm looking forward too now.
No we are not a cup winner. I cant se this team getting it Done. Bad goalies to much misstakes as a team. On papper they can do it with another goalie. Will they. I doubt it
Unless 97 and 29 come back on fire and pissed off and the rest of the team catch that….the playoffs will be rough…
