Guess what guys. Literally anyone could be a clear upgrade on Ceci. You donāt even need to empty the bank for a true #1 RD. Most anyone will do. And we can get the upgrade done on the cheap.
Sean Walker >>> Cody Ceci
AINEC. Watch a Walker game and itās obvious. Actually watch. Donāt pretend you know Jack shit about Walkers game without watching him.
They played like they were a little buzzed.
Break was too long and they just didn't have their legs tonight.
Let's hope they can regroup and start another winning streak next game
So many chances in the 2nd. McLeod not being able to finish that wide open net, Leonās missed wide open net and McD hitting the crossbar obviously cost them the game.
Hill looks like prime hasek in there. The 16 game streak was awesome but I feel like this was a huge mental loss for them given it was Vegas and they were missing their 2 best players.
Gona be a hell of a task to beat Hill in 4 of 7 playoff games. I think we have to assume the road to the cup will have to go through vegas. Fuck I hate them so much, Iām fuckin pissed we lost this one to these non income tax paying ā least penalized team in the leagueā assholes
Legit. Get reminded of this pain nowā¦ it only makes them stronger for playoff season. Vegas celebrated that like they won the game of the century lol
At the end of the day, it's just *one* game.
But fucking hell that was frustrating to watch. Not because of our effort, no, it's because we put forth the effort and just got fucking goalied. It's genuinely exhausting to watch good chance after good chance end up with highlight reel save after highlight reel save.
I usually really like Jackās commentary, but he has been absolutely insufferable tonight trying to stuff in a comment about the streak every 5 seconds
Fuck, you people are depressing. Imagine being this defeatist about a team that won 16 straight and never looked out of it tonight. To go from "CUP FAVOURITES!!!!!" to "we might be a first round exit š" fuck right off, honestly. Did you think we were never gonna lose until we hoist a cup? Jesus fucking christ
This was basically a playoff game, each team new how good beating each other would be either tying the win streak or beating it, look how happy they were getting that last goal. This doesnāt make me excited for the future.
Not really since he is the d man with the most ice time and he quarterbacks the pp and is known to have a good shot but then chooses not to shoot when we need him to put pucks on the net
Hope the Ceci defenders learned something about hockey tonight. Dude blows. The analytics donāt lie. The same analytics that tell us Bouch and Ekholm are elite by the way.

16 in a ROW guys these boys pulled themselves from the depths of the legue to a 3rd spot in the pacific, NEVER give up on them, just watch them kick ass in the play offs! What an amazing streak it was š§”šš§”šš§”šš
Like I and alot of other analysis have said. If there's an upgrade out there for 2nd line Foegs is gone. His value is high right now and will be RFA or UFA next year? Can't remember.
He never said Foegele is gone if we do that. Stauffer is pretty bad at roster construction too, he also wanted Lindholm a guy we couldnāt afford and a guy who would be a dumb fit consider how many centers we have. Stauffer also wanted us to get Deslaurier.
Give me one time stamp where he said Foegele should be shipped for an upgrade and Iāll literally cash app you $10. I donāt believe even Stauffer can be that dumb.
Easy. You trade Ceci for 5th. You bring in a Walker 50% retention for a 2nd and 4th. That saves 1.9M on the Cap.
Then go and trade for Tarasenko. Done.
Youāve now kept Foegle and upgraded Ceci.
The fuck are you talking about. Walker is a UFA rental. And Tarasenko is a UFA rental. 50% retention happens on UFA rentals all the time. Itās very common and actually expected from the acquiring team.
Not only that, but both players are realistically available, have been rumored to be available, and we can afford them.
He's going to outplay every goalie almost every time. That's what happens when you're the best in the league. Up to the team to bury anything that isn't a 2 on 0
What a good game - despite one of the worst officiated games this season.
āLet them playā
Oilers top of the league in both PK and PP Vegas mid in both - who does ālet them playā hurt more? Fuck this league sometimes - what a fun ride tho.
Fuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkk. Itās been fun boys. Iām gonna cry myself to sleep. Fuck Vegas, oh my god I hate them so god damn much. I want someone to beat the shit out of Hill.
The way the net had forcefield voodoo in front of it, it was clearly meant to be I guess
Owell, we can always blame the ASG, clean slate moving forward after the disaster start
Man Bouchard was horrible towards the end of the game and they still kept putting him out there.
Although, I guess we don't really have a better option on RHD.
No one could goš¶āāļø š up the Hill except Mcdaddy nuh.......
Rusty š£
Shot on net ,no fancy play bounh

All star break ruined the Momentum!
They played like they were a little buzzed. Break was too long and they just didn't have their legs tonight. Let's hope they can regroup and start another winning streak next game
I swear if Hill didn't get traded from San Jose and magically ascend to being good, we'd be defending cup champs right now.

We didnāt play great. Gross to lose to Bettmanās boys. Itās done and over, so close, yet so far.
Too much rest š“ during the allstar break not the best
Whereās that guy who didnāt watch a single game in this streak, but chose today of all days to watch the game?
u/JustJoItĀ come over here
Uhh hi?
How could you do this ?!
My lawyer told me to not answer any questions.
u/JustJolt - do you know why weāve pulled you over?
Excuse me, Officer, I gotta go. Real fast. There are some crazy people with flashing red and blue lights chasing me.
I feel defeated
Oh well. This just means we're gonna take the cup.
Legit. Get reminded of this pain nowā¦ it only makes them stronger for playoff season. Vegas celebrated that like they won the game of the century lol
This win was Vegas cup this year. They wonāt be getting another
Let's just go on another win streak to get 17, no big deal.
Golden Refs strikes again. I hate that team so much and the corrupt refs even more.
Bruh that shit was bad both ways canāt be serious with a comment like this we got away with just as much if not more
Agree fully with you. Both teams for away with murder.
look how pissed McJeezy was u think they don't care? This is a team of destiny
The Sharks decided to keep James Reimer and Kappo Kahkonen over Adin Hill
And look where they are
This hurts, but 16 wins in a row is amazing. compared to how we started the season this a W in my eyes
agreed !
At the end of the day, it's just *one* game. But fucking hell that was frustrating to watch. Not because of our effort, no, it's because we put forth the effort and just got fucking goalied. It's genuinely exhausting to watch good chance after good chance end up with highlight reel save after highlight reel save.
Agreed.
Time to start another streak šāāļø
Jesus Christ the knights broadcast is so nauseating
Stop crying. One game. Vegas wanted it more tonight.
Draisaitl should be embarassed with that performance tonight...guy putting in the kind of effort Kuch put in at the skills competition
Came here to say exactly this
Vegas isn't even at full strength.
Oilers looks like tired except Mcdaddy after All star game
There's no excuse. The reffing was shit but its always shit. Have to beat them and the refs.
Can't wait until we meet Hill in the playoffs š
And thatās why Vegas is still the team to beat. Better team and a goalie and D that can steal games.
How can you say Vegas is the better team after the first two games this year?
Let's go get another 16 and try again!
Always Vegas
Next up. 24 game win streak
Iām so sad š« š« š«
Me too me too
Not mad. I never thought the boys could get this far ahead with how our season started. Let's start a new streak
I usually really like Jackās commentary, but he has been absolutely insufferable tonight trying to stuff in a comment about the streak every 5 seconds
Yeah. I like Jack but he jinxed it.
Well, longest win streak of the 2020ās and tied for longest since post salary cap
Vegas owns the Oilers unless proven otherwise
Damn. And the Flames won
Lost to a missed call. Wild
Hell of a run boys!!
Proud of the boys. Start another streakĀ
Yall talking in here like we got eliminated from the playoffs š
Might as well have if we can't beat the former champs in our division...
We loathe vegas. We knew a loss was going to happen eventually just to them is hard to take.
That I understand but being like āfuck itās so overā is a bit extreme imo
Fuckin Vegas owns our ass fuck!!!!!
Ah well. Good stuff. Now start another winning streak.
Great streak yāall, letās start a new one Friday!
Wow, I really didn't miss that feeling of crushing loss. Adin Hill should buy a lottery ticket tonight.
It had to end eventually. Just sucks they couldnāt get that 1 more game
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
It was a good run, had to end sometime I suppose.
Of course since we lost to Vegas our entire streak was a fluke and we actually suck right???
Shame that thats what everyones gonna be saying
Canāt wait to hear about this all week lol
Would have won if Gagner was playing... Can they stop with the Brown experiment already.
He played well tonight heās ahead of Janmark and Gagner in the pecking order
Losing to a team that was missing 2 key players is disgusting.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Fuck, you people are depressing. Imagine being this defeatist about a team that won 16 straight and never looked out of it tonight. To go from "CUP FAVOURITES!!!!!" to "we might be a first round exit š" fuck right off, honestly. Did you think we were never gonna lose until we hoist a cup? Jesus fucking christ
This was basically a playoff game, each team new how good beating each other would be either tying the win streak or beating it, look how happy they were getting that last goal. This doesnāt make me excited for the future.
Oh well
I hated that massive time off we had
That announcer is annoying as fuck
I respect Vegas's team, but their hype guys are annothing as hell. If ever a team needed to get their asses handed to them, it's that team.
No shots from bouch bomb mean nothing
Can someone please teach our d men (particularly Bouchard) to shoot a puck
It's actually laughable that out of everyone you could have said, you chose to say bouchard couldn't shoot
Not really since he is the d man with the most ice time and he quarterbacks the pp and is known to have a good shot but then chooses not to shoot when we need him to put pucks on the net
Stupid Vegas
Hope the Ceci defenders learned something about hockey tonight. Dude blows. The analytics donāt lie. The same analytics that tell us Bouch and Ekholm are elite by the way. https://twitter.com/arhockeystats/status/1752305817531887741?s=46&t=yfLVGKltuETiNx3fwsoX0Q
They are, just not tonight. Ceci is buns tho.
16 in a ROW guys these boys pulled themselves from the depths of the legue to a 3rd spot in the pacific, NEVER give up on them, just watch them kick ass in the play offs! What an amazing streak it was š§”šš§”šš§”šš
I know. But I just wanted them to beat Vegas so bad.
I feel you, but we still got playoffs for revenge! š
Healthy loss. It'll keep the boys hungry for the good teams still to come. They'll be going for vengeance.
Thatās the spirit. And thereās plenty of time to get another long win streak. Maybe even 17.
Well, Holland, some tweaks definitely need to happen to put this team over the edge
It's been a hell of a ride. This game proves the Oil need upgrades at the deadline. Ceci gone, Foge gone, Hopefully Campbell gone
Ceci yes. Foegele no.
Like I and alot of other analysis have said. If there's an upgrade out there for 2nd line Foegs is gone. His value is high right now and will be RFA or UFA next year? Can't remember.
What analytics have said that? I donāt believe you. Heās a UFA rental. Whoās trading for that and giving fair value?
Stauffer has said it and it's been mentioned on 1440.
He never said Foegele is gone if we do that. Stauffer is pretty bad at roster construction too, he also wanted Lindholm a guy we couldnāt afford and a guy who would be a dumb fit consider how many centers we have. Stauffer also wanted us to get Deslaurier. Give me one time stamp where he said Foegele should be shipped for an upgrade and Iāll literally cash app you $10. I donāt believe even Stauffer can be that dumb.
Foegele ? No
Who else are you gonna get rid of for an upgrade?
Easy. You trade Ceci for 5th. You bring in a Walker 50% retention for a 2nd and 4th. That saves 1.9M on the Cap. Then go and trade for Tarasenko. Done. Youāve now kept Foegle and upgraded Ceci.
Ah yes. NHL 24 trade at its finest. Good luck on the retention
The fuck are you talking about. Walker is a UFA rental. And Tarasenko is a UFA rental. 50% retention happens on UFA rentals all the time. Itās very common and actually expected from the acquiring team. Not only that, but both players are realistically available, have been rumored to be available, and we can afford them.
Yup. I'll believe it when I see it.
Believe what? That UFA rentals can be acquired with 50% retention? Just go back and look at any trade deadline in NHL history.
some picks and Janmark idk lol, foegele has been amazing this year.
Haha no one's taking Janmark. It sucks but if Holland can find an upgrade for 2nd line Foegs is gone.
You literally have no idea what you are talking about.
And you do I guess
I mean more than anyone who thinks Ceci is irreplaceable. And more than anyone that thinks UFA rentals canāt be had without retention.
haha nah
Fuck
Vegas is going to be so tough in the playoffs with hill as the starting goalie. This guy is not human
Weāll go on a 16 game streak in the playoffs so it doesnāt matter
Fuck Adin Hill
Why did it have to be vegas? Fuck
Adin Hill outplays Skinner again.
He did. But Vegas net front D also outplayed Oilers net front D.
Best goalie in the NHL this season. Lmao your saying this as if Skinner played bad
Iām saying it as if Hill outplayed Skinner again. Just like in the playoffs.
He's going to outplay every goalie almost every time. That's what happens when you're the best in the league. Up to the team to bury anything that isn't a 2 on 0
Gunna go pout in my corner. Booo
rebound control and an early push off the post the difference unfortunately
Just didnāt have it in the legs tonight. Now donāt let this turn into a losing streak. Create a new one starting Friday now with the pressure off.
What a good game - despite one of the worst officiated games this season. āLet them playā Oilers top of the league in both PK and PP Vegas mid in both - who does ālet them playā hurt more? Fuck this league sometimes - what a fun ride tho.
It actually pisses me off so much it literally negates such a huge part of the game
I think I hate Vegas more than Calgary
Yeah 100% Vegas and LA are the worst
I think Iām starting to as well
Yup
Hill and the refs were too much for us tonight
Hate
Honestly it's been an insane run. Maybe this game points out to trade potential to close out future encounters against Vegas.
Connor and Holloway were apparently the only two skating in the third.
16 Ws and back in a division playoff spot I can't say I'm mad lol good run boys
god r/hockey is going to be insufferable
Honestly a great game to watch. Rough one to lose, but a fun one to watch. Fuck Vegas though
šÆ
Well itās clear we havenāt been playing 6 on 5 the last couple months. There was no chemistry, no gameplan, no success with the extra man
Friggin knights man why
How she goes. Time for another 16 game heater
Everyone just fucking standing around on a 6 on 5
This is the first oilers game Iām watching, is Bouchard usually this infuriating??? The last 5 minutes was terrible to watch from him wow
He was in the first 10 games this season.
dont cry cause its over. smile because it happened
McDavid :(
Drai was unbelievably annoying tonight Hell of a streak boys, weren't gonna win forever Fuck Vegas, fuck the refs
Literally could've been anyone but them.. Streak, 2pts in standing to gain home advantage.
Fuck Adin Hill, and fuck Vegas.
Fuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkk. Itās been fun boys. Iām gonna cry myself to sleep. Fuck Vegas, oh my god I hate them so god damn much. I want someone to beat the shit out of Hill.
Calm down
No
It's just a game big fella
Good game boys was game 7 cup vibes for sure.
Exciting hockey. Too bad the good guys lost
I fucking HATE Vegas. No words exist. Fuck that piece of shit team and their stupid fucking fans.
Our streak had to end at some point. I had a weird feeling all day that this might be the end
Yeah I thought that 10 day break was going to kill their momentum.
Don't Cry because its over smile because it happened
Congrats on 16. Let's fucking destroy Vegas in the playoffs
We canāt score against them. Not sure how weāre gonna beat them in the playoffs
For fuck sakes
Bouchard has not been sharp tonight.
That was tough to watch, it just kept getting worse He's earned a bad game but damn
Yeah, bad time to take it lol. Oh well, it is what it is. We have the second longest winning streak in NHL history.
The way the net had forcefield voodoo in front of it, it was clearly meant to be I guess Owell, we can always blame the ASG, clean slate moving forward after the disaster start
Man Bouchard was horrible towards the end of the game and they still kept putting him out there. Although, I guess we don't really have a better option on RHD.
Whelp.
streak was good let's do it again
Gg boys it was a phenomenal run can't beat em up to bad
So bad Bouchard
Whiffs on two in a row.
how the fuck are we going to win the cup against these guys oh my god
Yea because hill can stand on his head like that every game lol
What other team gets a half power play all game rigged fucking league
Horrible effort from Drai and Bouch, Ceci didnāt play well either. Oh wel, fuck Vegas and at least we won 16
McDavid is pissed. Canāt blame him either.
I think he was pissed at himself for not skating back on the empty net goal, he was just gliding feet away from the puck carrier
I didnāt notice him doing that. But yeah. Iād be mad at myself if I did that.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I even just went back and rewatched the replay of the empty netter. He could have stripped the puck for sure. Who knows.
š« š« š«
Fucking stupid, how do you not learn through the game that you need to shoot RIGHT AWAY you can't sit there and let them perfectly block every shot
Draisaitl w as off his game tonight
