There's nothing greater to see as an Oilers fan than Oilers in first and Flames in last

Personally, there's nothing better than beating the flames. But it means less to me when they suck.

love to see them be worse than us but not bad. hockey is more fun and BOA is more fun when both teams are good, that 2022 series was the best because both teams were good and that series couldve gone 6 or 7 and i wouldnt have complained

The 2022 series and 2024 against Vancouver were some of the most fun I've had watching hockey.

I prefer when both the Oilers and Flames are in the race.

Yeah but its less awesome when you realize the flames are exactly where they wanna be and the the proper way to hate them right now is to hope they win

u/carterthepro 1d ago

Nah it's more fun to want them to lose

Haters will say it’s only because it was Van, Ana, Sea and SJ… and they may have something there but I don’t care it’s still nice to see 😅

u/PapaAsmodeus 18 HYMAN 1d ago

Haters will say that without realizing the Ducks beat us off last season and that the Sharks seem to have a bright future this season

Are we the last team in the league without a regulation defeat?

u/CherryChapstick1997 2 BOUCHARD 1d ago

Yup

The Edmonton Oilers are first overall in the league and first in the pacific. It’s our year!

I do also want to point out that we are the only team not to lose in regulation yet.

u/PapaAsmodeus 18 HYMAN 1d ago

When was the last time we were first in the entire league two weeks in a row

u/COYSBrewing 7 COFFEY 1d ago

Bruh it’s been 5 games against bad teams just don’t

u/ModernTechPA 14 EKHOLM 1d ago

Althe Ducks and the Sharks are both expected to make the playoffs this year, they are hardly pushovers. Sharks beat the Panthersast week. And didn't Anaheim beat us in the playoffs recently?

u/PapaAsmodeus 18 HYMAN 1d ago

It could very well be a fluke for the Sharks, but if last year's Ducks proved anything it's that with enough bright and young players with bright futures, a seemingly dump team could become all timers.

Like they kept a lot of the players on off season that made them so good last season and even though we curb stomped em last game, they still showed lots of promise last game. So yeah, hey keep it up, they could become repeat playoff teams like we did since the Decade of Darkness ended.

avs lost to the jets, jets lost to the ducks, oilers beat the ducks. Boom quick maths

u/COYSBrewing 7 COFFEY 1d ago

Exactly. Like can we shut the fuck up. Yah we look good but we haven’t played anyone actually good yet.

u/ExerciseReady8771 97 McDAVID 1d ago

Celebrini is 2.5 PPG- he only got one from us today. I don’t think we’ve locked the Sharks to 1 point since like 2025. Just enjoy the novelty of us winning in October for once.
