I've watched this team for over 15 years. Its the first time I've watched comfortably and confidently, whether we are up or down in the score, there's this sneaky feeling that no matter what, they will get the W. Its surreal as an Oilers fan. We are seeing the maturing of this roster with less focus on points and offense and truly being a well-rounded squad. Knoblauch deserves a lot of praise, especially after the doubters saying he only got the job because of McDavid.

Been an Oilers fan since 1983. This is a fantastic run but let's not get ahead of ourselves here. There's a long way tp go and anything can happen. Perry could come in and mess up the whole vibe.

[@wad316]

This Oilers team no longer feels like one that trips on itself trying to outscore mistakes anymore. They're more calm, with a proper focus on a full game, not just the PP or just relying on a top heavy line. D Men are making smart plays, goalies are more collected, bottom six are dangerous. I'm liking this, just maybe a solid win against say, Colorado or Boston and I can definitely relax lol they need to make up for those losses against the 2 Florida teams. Revenge against CAR, beating VGK in the shootout plus this have me about 85 percent convinced.

[@ahakangard]

Great move to pair McDavid Draisatl again

[@davidrobins4025]

Yes, he's "crying his eyes out" for not being a good enough coach. It's thanks to the new coach and his improved tactics that the Oilers are now a defensive powerhouse - which is why they are on a 15 game win streak.

[@michaelscore6763]

Justice for Jay! He also had a great regular season last year and there is still a lot of hockey to play this season. But it seems knoblauch with his staff (Coffey! ) are really on track climbing the hard clips to Mr Stanley successful! The playoffs are near and McDrai played a dynamic game together - 3 points each. That's a promise too for the future of the team.

[@Rockmonanov]

I still think he’s a good coach, but definitely a bit full of himself… when systems weren’t working earlier this year he doubled down on the systems and not the players. He’ll turn up again someday though I think.

Lets see. If they can secure wins against Nashville and Vegas then a win against the Ducks will be the tie breaker and a record will be broken. There is a long wait to see before Edmonton visits Vegas. Well rested teams ready to play. One team set to set a new NHL record and the other team to be a spoiler of good things.
