CUP OR BUST: Why the Edmonton Oilers must remain all-in during Connor McDavid era
The Edmonton Oilers face a crucial season in the midst of Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl’s respective primes. Edmonton lost several depth pieces this offseason and likely won’t be as talented on paper as the past several years. Even if the Oilers might be better served by taking a tactical step back to play the long game, with McDavid and Draisaitl in the fold, re-tooling isn’t in their vocabulary.

Then why did those A-holes in Florida beat my beloved Oilers 2 years in a row Nick?
Stu wasn’t supposed to be a starter he was a young Goalie who was supposed to be a backup Goalie and then got shoved in the front. What is wrong with the GM not getting a Starter Goalie and letting Stu learn accordingly! They are ruining this young man! I love Stu Skinner but it’s as ridiculous as throwing in my 61 year old ass😱Yes I was a good goalie 43 years ago good grief GM this isn’t fair to the rest of a hard working team.
Leon and Conner both said it's cup or bust.
Here’s hoping the Oilers get a goaltending upgrade. I don’t know how, but I hope it’s a good upgrade and soon.
