The Edmonton Oilers have won 8 straight & Connor McDavid is on fire. After reports of him being pissed off with the way things were going in Edmonton, we break down how they’ve turned things around to salvage the season.
"You dare doubt me? Fine, 3 pts a game until further notice."
No bow-legged skater will ever make it in this league.
well they dont care who u doubt theyre 2 games in hand only 1 points behind a wildcard spot
When your hurt for 10 games after injury once he was healed up u could tell lol
lol still won’t make the playoffs and if he does he will lose in the first round. If he wants a cup he has to get out of Canada and play for some real money as well
@@user-jv5vb6hs6f You realize not all athletes are like Lebron James and just in it for $$ $. Some athletes believe in loyalty and working through adversity to achieve their goals. Many players in the NHL have taken pay cuts to keep or get players on their team they want to play with or have taken cuts to stay on their current team. Something I doubt you’ll see as often if ever in the NBA, MLB or I doubt even in the NFL.
What a rollercoaster for oilers fans. I absolutely love it!
I knew they could turn it around only a matter of time. I knew the youtubers talking about them crumbling would eat their words
It hurts.
It really hasnt been tho. If you really thought they were going to miss the playoffs please reconsider your hockey knowledge...
I am in shambles right now. I do not even know how to feel.
@@StonedSpagooterseriously, everyone is so recency-biased these days and was so quick to jump to the conclusion that they weren’t gonna make playoffs
Not just McDavid the entire team has woken up. Bouchard is on a 13 game point streak Leon is looking pissy again which is good. The PK and PP numbers have improved big there teams back checking is great there overall defence is good now like someone flicked a switch. I don’t know how long this win streak will last but I’m kinda hoping they can make it 10 the record for the team is 9 in a row. Such a rollercoaster of a team.
Even Nurse is all of a sudden looking solid on the back end, I've been noticing lately when that pair activates, it's often Ceci penetrating the O zone, while Nurse stays back at the blue line. Obviously Coffee saw something there and the D core are buying all in.
Paul Coffey was the switch
None of them would do it without McDavid though
@@LARGO125doc had 2 sweet assists on Dec 31st droooolll!!❤❤❤
Oilers set a new franchise record for longest winning streak. They have a winning streak of 10 now.
Man your breakdowns provide so much insight that's hard to notice in real time. Thankful someone's doing this analysis for the fans benefit ❤
Love how you covered the 4th line. Sam gagner is the GOAT
A video about McDavid being the best player in the world and you declare Sam Gagner the greatest player of all time!? 🤦♂️
@@TheRealAT perhaps the term GOAT wasn't applied properly here, but Gagner was certainly shining on this evening.💪
@@TheRealAT Gagner of all time duh
@TheRealAT He hasn't broken out yet, only 34
Gagner is playing at 1% of his potential. When he feels like it he can score 8 points in one night, and probably more than that.
Dude Derrick Ryan and Gagner has serious chemistry on the ice! It's great to see a 4th line look as good as they do game in and game out.
DR woth the shootout win!! Too bad gagne is injured :( he was doing great!! Mcleods on a roll ❤
hyman has to be one of the best contracts in the nhl right now and im so happy we have him on the team.
Ya too bad Holland has signed 2 Toronto rejects to 9 million dollars who shouldn’t even be in the league - Campbell & Brown
Hyman was a hard one for us leaf fans. We miss him. Well I know I do. We just couldn’t afford to keep him. 😢
@annetteconway280 definitely miss him on the Leafs. Glad he is finding success with the Oilers, even if he has no chances at a cup with them.
@@johnlocke_1Edmonton has a better shot at the cup then the leafs
@@tiktokcompilation2196 your comment is about as good as your use of then.
Did people really think the Oilers were going to be a last place team?
Yeah people got were massively overreacting to their bad start to the season. This is still one of the best teams in the NHL, they aren’t going to stay cold forever.
No, but im sure there were several teams hoping they would stay down in the stands for playoff reasons
Funny how when they were struggling I could find 10 videos a day about there struggles now that they are playing good only a select few people are talking about it typical.
@@ryans413 Thats how it always is, people love to be keyboard warriors, trolls come out everywhere when a team or player is down, even tons of youtubers loved making videos about how shitty they were beaking them nonstop. Now that theyre on a streak theyre all conveniently quiet.
They absolutely did. It is amazing that I can barely find any positive coverage about this team from the people who were shitting on them before. Eck says that he likes the Oilers, yet, I have not seen a positive video from him about the Oilers now that they are going strong, but he sure had plenty to say when they were shitting the bed. What a joke!
As a wild fan, I couldn’t even be mad about that ridiculous goal against the where he reached from behind the goal line. Sometimes you just have to acknowledge that you’re watching greatness.
The penalty kill is also fire right now, Killed 28/29 over the stretch if im not mistaken
After last night 30/31
Great stats
Idiots were talking about the Oilers having to trade McDavid and Draisaitl, while the team was slumping.
I don’t care who you cheer for! If you are not completely captivated with McDavids ability, u don’t understand hockey
Spot on!
This is a great lesson for the Oilers, learning as a team to battle back into it. Let’s hope they keep the gas pedal down and keep improving. Long way to go before the season ends, but this is possibly the best case scenario any Oilers fan could have asked for!
MAN, your videos are special. They're usually under 10 minutes but are flat out enthralling and leave me excited for the next one. Thank you!
Paul Coffey has also helped the d tremendously
I like how leon gave him comfort, they ain’t teammates they are brothers
ive been at every home game this season and honestly the energy in the building is INSANE since the win streak started, you can just feel how thankful everyone is that they are going home with wins now. hope the week break doesnt mess anything up cuz i dont wanna see us shrivel again
I mean, you saw what happened after their last long break right?
You shoulda witnessed the intensity of Northlands in the ‘8️⃣0️⃣’s…especially playoff series & particularly the Battle of Alberta. That was REAL hockey, not Butman’s pussified NHL. I had a season ticket then…
Great to hear…. I used to live there from 2007 or 2016 and the passion in the building is incredible.. Connor is the GOAT. Would love to have him on our Flyers team but I’m dreaming lol. LET’S GO OILERS!
@@davidarmitage289 He’s not the GOAT 🐐 He doesn’t have the resume like absolute legends of the league, such as Gordie Howe, Bobby Orr, Wayne Gretzky or Mario Lemieux. Latest, hardly makes you the greatest⁉️ Someone’s got a little respectful homework to do. Being in my 6️⃣0️⃣’s, I honestly don’t even like that flavour-of-the-month term. Do you actually know what the history of that term is❓I was at both of those back-to-back Stanley Cup Finals series games against Hextall & the Flyers. Let’s keep it rollin’, Oilers‼️ 🇨🇦
How do you afford to go to all the games ? And the $25 pops
The content of this channel is outstanding. Thank you for your insight, analysis and love of hockey !
Another great video❤ keep up the awesome work
been waiting for this one since i saw that now-famous shot of mcdavid on the bench
Oilers will make the playoffs and will probably go far. They have learned how to turn things around and overcome. No one should count them out just yet.
@@miguel_mattino but they are a different team from the start of the season even their defence has improved
look at the standings they are currently at the door of the wild card. A month ago they were contending for no.1 Draft pick. @@miguel_matti
I feel like the VGK would still smoke them if they meet again
@@Childofbhaalthe Oilers beat Vegas in this 8 game win streak.
@@Childofbhaalare you saying they smoked them last year??
Great video! I think having to fight back is what makes this team great. If they were so good that they sat at the top of the season, they wouldn't have the drive that they seem to need. Always be afraid of the team that clawed their way into the playoffs.
Nice one, dude. Love your channel and watch it all the time. Now a subscriber. 🙂
Oilers failing Mcdavid- "Fine. I'll do it myself" Proceeds to murder the league
The addition of one of the most offensive defence men ever to play the game to the coaching staff (Coffey) has done wonders to the back end. The defence are no longer standing on their own goal line trying to make hail mary two line passes on breakouts. They are now moving their feet and driving plays out of their own end utilizing team speed before teams can set up and defend. Woodcroft had them slowing down the play and setting up and Knob has them attacking.
Very impressive breakdown. Send this video to CBC hockey, you could easily replace those coma inducing drones.
Lmao 😂😂
My favorite hockey content creator. Keep up the amazing work.
Habs fan here but DAMN IM LOVING THE OILERS COMEBACK BOYS
The question is can they turn it around and getting to the final? I would say they will. I have a feeling that after McDavid were PISSED he wants to prove everyone wrong and i think he is gonna carry this team to the stanley cup
I would love to see you break down some of gretzkys play, the way you explain things is so good!
Paul Coffeey helped alot give him credit 🙄 dudes a legend man
Amazing video! Keep making them like this
Happy you finally understood that huge subtitles to start vids and more were becoming memes :P I know where you got the idea for your most recent change of format, and it's okay. You do good work, and getting inspired by the best hockey content creator for deeper dive vids was a great idea! Plus laying off with the Leafs, Tor in general, was also a good idea. Your takes were only viable for people in that whole bubble, one that looks like a cult sometimes... But from the outside, from anywhere else in the world, no, just no. Like saying Dubas was a Genius and other "out there" stuff.
He's now 7th in scoring (Dec 13) after being 94th on Nov 13. Is the any doubt he finishes on top again?
I think you offer the best analysis out there right now. Amazing stuff. I wish you used fewer transitions between clips, but that's a nitpick.
You make excellent videos! Thanks 👍
Solid analysis. Love a good level headed take on hockey. Hoping they can sustain this level of play, it's been fun watching a structured team play finally.
"Its like conner mcdavid gave the entire league a head start just to make it fair" this line goes so hard
Love these kinds of videos!
Dude your channel is amazing
Something's been off with Draisaitl. I can't put my finger on it, but he has been playing like I do in beer league, which isn't good. Just seems off with the hands and general agility or something. Kinda been getting it back. Hopefully he's on his way back to 100% soon.
I agree. Obviously I can’t speak on your beer league performance, but somethings been off. I will say after watching the past two games, especially the Chicago game, his back checking and grit was fantastic, and I hope he keeps it up. It is however nice to have 5 almost 6 player who have a point per game or higher, helps get rid of some stress drai might have. Tampa will be a challenge next game and I’m looking forward to see what version of drai we will get. If we get his Chicago performance alongside solid play from the rest of the boys it’ll be 9Ws in a row.
@@aidansauve3034 And here we are against the Panthers and Draisaitl looks off again. I sure hope he figures it out but right now he's a liability on the ice. Very hard to watch.
Scoring off the rush works in the regular season, gets a lot tougher in the playoffs, but it's good to see Skinner & the D tighten up. There were a lot of fans criticizing the coaching change, but the results are starting to show. Nice to see them turning it around.
I guess the early Practice before The Preseason started that I was asking about is paying off. I hope He gets 150 points this Season! If he does so, He’ll have a 1000 Points!
lol was waiting for that last dude in the intro to be like “he big mad frfr”
Hi! Sorry to bother but can you please tell me the song used in the beginning of the video? Love the breakdowns and happy holidays!
:42 that headline is just a taste of how dramatic these Canadian markets are. You don’t go from potential rebuild to contender in a matter of weeks. Especially this early in the season. Insanity
This video was very very well done!
Love the vid. But I’m a bit confused about the edited scoreboard for the thumbnail? It’s from a different game.
The guy that does these videos is a straight DOG! Great content!!!
It’s almost like coaching was a part of the equation. I’d been criticizing Woody and the (his) gang for over a year. No joke.
My god I am so blessed to watch this absolute specimen of a human in my lifetime. Such a boss.
Has anyone noticed that the Driastail line is dominant but the puck just won't go in, when that changes, and it will, this team is going to be a nightmare for the rest of the league.
great content - love it.
Not to mention that Hyman Bouchard Nugent Hopkins and eckholm are all playing like they could run their own team. It’s crazy how much a defensive structure can boost confidence and make your team turn on a dime.
Great analysis
Great vid!
Remind me of the time beginning of last season people complain that he should get more goals instead of passing and he was like “Alright fine. I get the rocket trophy.”
I knew he wouldn’t be down for long when ppl doubted him….
It’s an 82-game season, not 10 or 20 games. Still lots to play but good to see them turn it around.
Hey, can you do a breakdown of the Carolina Hurricanes? They were the favorites for the cup and now it looks like they may not make the playoffs! What’s going on there???
Not an Oilers fan but like a come back story and this was a good vid. Don't hate the Oilers. Just a Canucks fan. Don't hate the Bruins, either...oh, wait,
Love how the whole team is producing points!
This is what I fantasize I could do in my beer league. lol.
bro i got chills
As an oilers fan I love how everyone’s pitching in here, even guys like Ryan foegole and gagner are stepping up
Do you play or did you play. Just wondering cause you see some little details that are great
Coming in hot..GO OILERS! Great breakdown video!
how is this the first time I am seeing that mcjesus picture!!
McDavid looks damn good with a mullet
Good analysis. Nice channel.
What ive learned as a hockey fan, its gameplay around New Years that i make observation not gameplay in November. Its all momentum.
1st🔥remember the barkov video I told you to make about his two play don’t forget please
”Kane can do his damage” yeah bro just went for textbook boarding
The other night against the Wild, the Oilers won 4-3 and RNH had 4 assists in that game.
insane on this
I always had faith in the oilers. They were gonna turn it around. Everyone doubting them shows a reflection of their mentality just because the present sucks doesn't mean you can't dictate the future its all about willpower!
i think it has alot to do with teams maybe playing tighter on MCDavid.. then he has to Adjust, he has done that and it's paying off of course Confidence as well, does alot for a player who is in a dry spell. Great to see the Oilers are clicking, and MCdavid is back.. Great for the Oilers! Great for Hockey!
Can we talk about how underrated the 4th line and their PK is? #2 in PK? And nobody is talking about it.
Imagine they showed they same passion and anger when it comes playoff time
whats the name of the background music?
Yooo 95% PK and being ranked 2nd in 7 games is wild though 😭😭
When McJesus is playing like this it is just straight good for the NHL and hockey in general.
This is very unfortunate for the other nhl franchises 😂 I liked the comment of mcdavid allowing others a head start…I’m sure if he’s healthy he will pass them all by a mile or so
To be fair, what is next season going to look like?
Very captivating soundtrack you used.
The box +1 is great when you're playing a possession type team, but the Oilers are leaving 1-2 players open from the point consistently, every game. They've fine tuned the messy d-zone coverage that got them into the hole they're in, but they aren't adjusting to teams that player perimeter. Once that gets exposed, it's trouble. They will need a plan for when this happens (likely mid-Jan).
I can't wait to see him on my rangers when he's 43 and has 3 bad knees and a bum hip .
I remember seeing all of the 2019 Blues comparisons in November and not taking them seriously because of how different their situation was to this. Now, at least in terms of progression, they seem similar.
blues win was forced above, tampa was leadin 3-0 or how many and allmost did 4 then their coach said we play d tactics and lost
Canucks fan here (here we go) but i’m so stoked Edmonton is right behind us at the end of the season. They’ve fought hard as hell and mcjesus deserves a cup… in 2025 after the canucks 😅
Keep it up boys!
I'm die hard Av's but I knew there was no chance the Oil were going to slump for more than a few weeks. Way too talented.
Love ten mcjesus! So good bro and so true!😂
He had a lower body injury at the start of the season. A player that relies on his insane skating ability is neutralized until that heals 100%. It was absurd for people to think he would not be the same player as last year once he healed to 100%
If Connor McDavid’s play is infectious to his teammates, Connor Brown must have the best immune system of all time
"It takes more than one player to win in the NHL"... unless of course you have Connor McJesus.
All Elete hockey players go through a stump throughout their hockey careers but all come out of that incantation over them victoriously like now McDavid being 5th over all with pts from 132th first 15 games.
Trust
"he gave everyone a head start, just to make it fair" this is the truth...
only person in hockey spitting facts
McDavid really gave the rest of the league a head start 😭😭
Coffey has gotten the Defence playing a more calm and relaxed game . Leading to A more confident bunch and A defensive core making better reads on when to pinch🫡 The team is gelling completely..look out NHL🖕🏽🫵🏽 playoffs her we come👊
