The Edmonton Oilers lost 3-1 to the Vegas Golden Knights last night & that meant they fell short of tying the all time consecutive wins record in the NHL. We take a deeper look at how the Edmonton Oilers went from one of the worst teams in the league, to being cup favourites according to the sport books. - Спорт
Once again, the path to the Cup has been cleared for SJ.
The prophecy shall be fulfilled…
Courture will take us to the Cup
How fitting that a storied hockey franchise in Canada should have its dreams stomped out by a silly Bettman-installed gimmick team designed to promote American betting.
Keep dreaming. Chicago is a lock.
@@drthalasiren4411God, there is nothing better than pure salt from Alberta
Hill was fantastic for Vegas. There were a lot of really fantastic saves last night. I will say this. I would not want to be Anaheim on Friday. Edmonton is going to be looking to make a statement on Friday.
I just hope they can bounce back from the disapointment of not making league history and finally losing a game
Just hope they don’t look past Anaheim to LA the night after. That’s gonna be another big one! Coach K has them focused quite well on the game at hand so let’s see.
They still made history..they just didnt break the historic record. Making history, theyve certainly done it. @@nostalgicleopard4036
As a ducks fan I was praying Vegas would end their streak cause I knew Edmonton would absolutely clown on us like they have all season and we'd be the team to give them the record lol
Hill literally had sex with his posts the night before or something because the hit like 10+ shots that ringed off the bar. That game could have easily been 4-1 oilers
Its Hill every time. This guy is so god damned good against the Oilers. He made many many crucial saves. Credit where credits due, he's a stud.
Phenomenal saves from him, it’s so nice to have him back. Even last post season he was so dominant in the series with the oilers
Brossoit getting hurt turned out to be the worst thing to happen in that playoff series. Had a bad feeling Hill was gonna close the door on us, and he did. Skinner still got work to do.
Draisaitl also missed a wife open net. Which he typically doesn't miss. It just wasn't the oilers game, despite skinner doing great in net. Hill was standing on his head and one missed snipe from.leon changed the whole game.
Let the haters hate, it was a great game of hockey. Oilers keeping their opposition to only scoring 2 on skinner will lead to overall success. Oilers score 3 or more goals most games. Letting in 2 every game and scoring more than 2, sounds to me like a recipe for longevity in the season and hopefully translates post season
@@roberjohnsmithit was a weird couple days in the NHL
The PK breakdown was unreal. Love seeing how a guy like Connor brown can still have an impact on the team despite having 0 goals…
Miss him on the Leafs sometimes
Grit and determination has a big effect on games.
More-so than having big named players
Yeah you can have him back lol. For what we are paying him honestly he is our second worst signing in recent history. Oh yeah take back Campbell...
I can assure you that next game Brown will finally score...
@@Noot_PenguinI will join you brother. I say this every game.
@Noot_Penguin next time...next time...
The Leafs should take note of how a coaching change can help fix a lot of small problems that turn into big problems.
Their team is also constructed very poorly... treliving has not done a good job with building a competent roster at all.
The leafs should get some depth instead of having over half of the cap spent on four forwards
@@zachroberts1988as a flames fan, I’m glad he left and now we got Conroy
keefe should have been fired months ago. but he wasn't, so, they're stuck for this year. this year is a wash. they'll be lucky to make the playoffs, and if they do they definitely are not going for a run at anything other than the tee blocks.
so, instead of contraversally firing keefe months ago, you hold out and make the guaranteed move when leafs don't make the playoffs, or lose in the 1st round again. then, nobody is going to be hunting your head for a questionable decision.
unfortunately nobody in the toronto franchise gets paid to win, and its all about self preservation. i'd say the bigger problem at hand here is shanny
The leafs invested in 4 forwards with minimal heart. Maybe if they were actually power forwards they would carry the team, but instead it's a miracle if they backcheck, they coast to the bench at .2km/hr, and the only time they perform like superstars is when a contract is on the line.
They need heart. They're missing muscle and fists, and you can't just purchase that willy-nilly (Bertuzzi and Reaves)
The Oilers typically seem to come out flat after a long layoff. When I saw that they had over a week off and faced Vegas first game back I knew it would be hard to keep the streak alive. Having said that, if it was so easy to win 16 in a row why isn't every team doing it? Great breakdown of the Oilers team play lately! Go Oilers!!!
nobody said it was easy....but facts are facts....they only played ONE team in the top 10 and only 3 in the top 15 during the streak (as of the all star break). Maybe they've put it together, but they need some real tests against some better teams to prove this wasn't just an overly lucky run against weaker opponents.
@@doublestrokeroll Bruins, Panthers, and Avs lost yesterday to teams the Oilers beat during the streak. People say it's because of the schedule but it's really because a lot of work was put in to get those Ws.
@@wanzed6235theres not an easy team in this league. If you sleep at NHL level,, you lose
@@borrow4654 I agree
@@doublestrokerollthey only beat one team in the top 10 TODAY. The rangers were first in the league when we beat them at the time and other placements like that. So stop making it sound like this
I keep coming back to every single video you drop because your analysis is better than most of the bozos on TV. You are excellent and break down team styles and plays in a super concise yet comprehensive way that makes it easy to understand for any hockey fan, and I really value that. Thank you Hockey Psychology, keep doing what you are doing!
Bro Aiden hill is so good when he needs to be it’s earned my respect
Man I love your breakdowns and the way you talk hockey, refreshing to see someone who clearly knows the game breakdown the little aspects of things and how important they are as a whole
Knoblauch means garlic in german
So coffee and garlic turned it around
sounds like a solid remedy for a cold (streak)
So, what you’re saying is: the early season Oilers were plagued by sleepiness and vampires.
Sounds right, actually.
I put garlic top of my bread in the morning, but i never drink coffee.
@@BahamutBreaker haha😂
come to think of it, winning 16 wins in a row is equivalent to full sweeping a playoff serie
They've gone 24-3 for last 27 games... I mean... the 16 game win streak paints a small picture of how good they are playing right now.
Streaks don't matter. Lord Stanley matters.
The streak they were chasing was the streak set by the 92-93 Penguins. After back to back cup wins, they go on a 17 game winning streak, they win the presidents trophy and bow out in the first round to the Islanders I think. So yeah, doesn't matter and Vegas was bailed out in the 2nd period by their goalie who statistically is top 3 in the league right now.
@@canadiansovietthe Penguins streak came during a time with ties, in fact it was a tie which broke the streak.
Edmonton have played great, but if ties still happened, they would have had a streak of three wins. Against the Kings, it took a shootout.
It would have mattered if they broke the record tho right?
@@CalgaryDynastar
Not if they go out in the 1st round
@@canadiansovietI think they lost to the Islanders in the 2nd round, not the 1st.
Thanks for an amazing video. Well done! Our Oilers came and showed up. It’s absolutely amazing!
Also I watched jets fans chant “you’re a backup” last playoff. This feels even better because of that.
gotta be the best type of hockey content i’ve watched. helps new viewers learn the game, and its just a generally interesting video idea. love ur videos!
Great video, as an Oilers fan who watches every game this helped bring insight into how far they have come. Thanks.
Your voice, your editing, your content. Everything is on point.
You’re my favourite hockey channel 🫡
"Edmonton only played against bad teams." Then how come we don't see 16 game win streaks more often? What are the other teams' excuses for losing to "bad" teams? Hockey fans can sure being ungrateful and petty...
I mostly agree as a team can only play whoever is infront of them and they still took care of business. I will say that realistically when the league does take travel, strength of conferences, # of games per week, strength of schedule balancing into it. The probability of getting a long stretch of games for multiple teams isn't likely. Simply because it also means they will get a brutal stretch to compensate for the easy one.
Didn’t know the pre-slide kings, 8 streak kraken, Leafs, and the rangers were bad. You can only play the teams ahead of you and tbh if it were so easy then we’d see 16 streaks a lot more often
@@Stalfoes you can cherry pick teams however you want but the facts are the facts. During the streak they only played ONE team in the top10 and only THREE in the top 15 (as of the all star game). They really did play mostly mediocre teams. It's still a great run because yeah...winning 16 games in a row in the NHL is hard, but it still doesn't mean people aren't correct to want to see how they do against some better teams. Especially given their start. And the moment they play one they have some trouble.
I'm not saying they haven't turned it around, but just they need more than that to prove it.
The oilers were one of those bad teams when the streak started.
Agreed. 'Finally had to face a good team' is such an ignorant comment - It's not like the Oilers are the only team to ever have an easy schedule, so why don't they all do it? It's not like they beat-up the Sharks, Ducks, Jackets and Hawks for all 16 games, either.
It was such an amazing game. It came down to Hill just standing on his head. That guy is dangerous
i should be charging the Golden Knights rent because they're living for free in my head - sincerely, a Dallas/Edmonton fan
Could be worse, you could've been a Bruins fan too, upset that Cassidy hoisted a cup but not for Boston 😂
Vegas Thank you!😅@@DiogenesTheCynic.
I hope they are able to take the passion experienced from this loss into their next game and start a new streak
Part of me agrees but I don't want them to gas themselves out come playoff time.
McDavid in his Yzerman two way play build up beginnings and I'm so down for that.
As always, this is a fantastically high hockey IQ analysis in a high quality video! Oilers will learn a meaningful lesson here needed for their deep playoff run. Btw, Leafs parade is again postponed!
I was one of the very few who wrote a comment to the earlier Oilers-bashing videos in support of McDavid and Draisaitl, I don't think they're out of the woods yet... I believe the defense and Skinner simply played way above their normal levels and it could be a bit of a hard landing if they fall back to old habits...
I think something that is lost here is that prior to the 16 game win streak they also had an 8 game win streak. Including the loss to vegas, they’re 24 wins in their last 28 games. Will that come down? Yea for sure. But i question “old habits”. That’s nearly 1,700 minutes of game, plus probably another 3,500 minutes of practice.
They look like a completely different team - the team everybody expected them to be right out of the gate. If anything - when you look at the second half of last season, and the first half of this season, the brutal start of the 23/24 season looks like the anomaly, and not the norm you seem to be implying.
@@ryanbaldwin4849 You have a lot of good points here.
I didn't want to imply that they are as bad as at the very beginning of the season - not at all. But they still have their issues many want to brush under the carpet because of the two super shiny objects they have upfront.
They were not that bad of a team before they fired their coach, neither did they just learn how to skate, pass, or defend since then. It was always in them. But the same goes for the bad stuff - it is always in them.
Where I want to go with this is momentum and confidence. It is a powerful sword - when you have it, just as well the absence of it. It then really comes down to what can they deliver on a constant basis (what is their true talent level).
They massively underachieved before the coaching change, and they did, with quite a margin overachieve since. This is why coaching change bounces wear off.
Hence, the true level of the Oilers might be somewhere in between the amazing win streak they just put up and the hockey they showed us before the coaching change. Just as well as they are one injury away from struggling again...what if #97 or #29 go down?? The two together are much more powerful than the sum of their individual talents alone.
@@ulrichsuter3548 yea that’s all fair and i appreciate the discourse.
I think the oilers are often seen as “just mcjesus and drai”, but as a life long oilers fan they are so much more than that now. Ryan Nugent Hopkins has turned a leaf and has averaged roughly 1ppg over the past 1.5 seasons. Zach Hyman has blossomed into a legit threat with roughly 1ppg as well. You have Bouchard who is just shy of a 1ppg dman. On top of that you have Ekholm, Kane, Nurse, and Now Perry, which makes the team literally tough to play against.
The team has a lot more depth than they did two years ago, and more than last year. The big question i have, and it has been the same question for 30 years, is goal tending. I know skinner has been closely watched his whole life and he has a lot of respect among players, but so far it hasn’t translated into consistent play (until recently). And then there’s campbell which is just a huge turd of a signing. Frankly, i think the team can stay competitive as much as any team who loses their star player, but if Skinner gets wrecked, or gets overplayed and exhausted, or loses confidence? We are sunk.
Look at us, having decent conversation on UA-cam of all places.
LFG VGK💪🏻Hill was MVP last night. Karlsson learned his lesson from his first empty net miss.
LETS GO OILERS! Great video analysis bro. We got weak spots but at least we look like we're finally trying
man i wish i found this channel when i still was in high school hockey.
Wish buffalo would have made a coaching change months ago. The oilers turn around is something I can only dream of buffalo ever doing. What a run. Sorry to see it fall just short of the record.
What program do you use produce your videos?
If it wasn't for the useless all-star break
Everybody and their mother knew the break would destroy their momentum. Now the Oilers are back down to earth...
@@davidwilliams9489Yeah 100%. I knew in my gut the All Star break was going to completely flatten the momentum they had, and it would be hard to build it back up from scratch when you’re playing one of the best teams in the league. I’m not even an Oilers fan but I was rooting for them to beat that record! Damn man.
They would have still lost to Vegas, break or no break.
People where Sh!ting all over the Oilers when they were on that miserable losing streak in the beginning of the season now they have their Sh!t together I just don't think mentally they can beat a team like Vegas in the Playoffs just like Toronto can't beat Boston Mentally in the Playoffs. Man you Guys do such Excellent work No Fat just to the Point Really Enjoy it.
Great video, and you`re one of the few guys out there that understands the combination of defense and goaltending. People still think it was goalies that let the Oilers down to start the season. In fact it was bad team defense paired with subpar goalies. The gaps, space and absence of any pressure have been a feast for other teams forwards during that 18 games.
The Oilers, i`m not sure about them. 16 W is impressive. But the schedule was soft and the first proper opponent did bring down the streak.
How good is their middle 6 and their D really? How good is their goaltending at all? They are running Skinner + Pickard, which is by no means a great tandem in the league.
They could use a 2nd line RW, a 3rd line Center, a top pair RD, a veteran backup. Good luck without cap space to figure that out.
Right now, if i look at Florida, NYR, Bruins, Nucks, Jets, Avs, even Vegas when healthy, they seem to have more pieces in place.
Look at the Avs, add a goalie and some depth, and that`s a cup winning team.
1:06 the most miserable time is... every playoff 😂
The story of the Oiler...almost
Oilers have been doing amazing and it's been fun to watch. I hate to say that the All-Star Circus probably ruined their momentum (wouldn't be surprised if McDavid makes that point too), but there's one thing that's getting overlooked here when it comes to this particular record. The 92-93 Pens that set the 17 wins in a row during the regular season did this without a shootout match or any ties. If this Oilers team was given the same circumstances as the record holders did, the Oilers would have ended their streak some time ago.
People who keep saying "tHeY fInAlLy HaD tO fAcE a GoOd TeAm" or "iT wAs A sOfT sChEdUlE" seem to be missing two things: the first being that if this is so easy then why isn't every team doing it, and the second being that not only was half the run good teams (including the LA Kings) but teams we historically have struggled against.
Like look at where those teams were when we beat them, not where they are now. The Kraken were on a bit of a tear themselves, the Kings were the only team keeping us out of the top 3, and historically we had struggled against the New York Rangers- those are just three examples.
The 8 game streak they beat Washington who was good at that time New York and they beat Vegas but Vegas fans are saying that one don’t count because they needed overtime. The oilers came back in that one they were down going into the third Vegas folded their lead. It’s just haters ignore them.
@@ryans413 definitely a "They hate us cause they anus" situation.
As a hockey fan, I was rooting for the record. The all-star break definitely didn't help and VGK got Karlsson back. Enjoy the 2nd half of the season!
Whats the background music being used?
There is Still Time by John Utah
People are sleeping on the changes the Oilers have made in their game. I'm excited to see what the TDL brings (please replace Cody Ceci)
PLease replace Cody Ceci. AMEN.
As a Kings fan I'm torn, obviously we've had huge issues with them over the last three(ish) years, but my roommate is a big Oilers fan and honestly they're super fun to watch. Oh well, I figure the fans will take 16-1 every 17 games :)

There's no way in hell that any Kings fan would be torn watching the Oilers lose. You're a false kings fan, not a real one
@@davidwilliams9489i get what ur saying but also it’s different because obviously i would hate to see the kings win 16 in a row as a oilers fan but i would be in awe watching it happen.
@@davidwilliams9489Keep with the gatekeeping dawg.
@@jacobharty7076 Thank you for understanding nuance my friend :)
@HT-jj5x sure thing 👍
The only thing that keeps me from jumping through UA-cam and strangling for using the word "failure" in reference to just about anything involving McDavid, is that you had the forethought to use "quotes" the irony of the title almost killed me. More to the point, my lack of initial notice of the irony is what almost killed me. Billy Beane said it in "Moneyball"..."I hate losing. I hate NOT WINNING even more!" (or something like that) McDavid's reaction to the loss is great. almost feel bad for their next opponent.
7:17
There are some plays where you don't know how the puck stayed out.
On this one, I have no idea where it is.
That stretch certainly saved their season.
I had to quit watching after Woodcroft’s firing. The hole they dug themselves was immense.
I actually can’t believe they are sitting in a top 10 position right now.

All teams lose some games, even the best teams. I predict a 7-2-1 run in the next 10. The 24-3-0 was a crazy run anyway, a third of a season at 72-9-0 pace in 81 games....
I gotta give my flowers to Adin Hill, that contract is paying off mightily as he’s shown he’s ready for the big stage
I think one thing people aren’t talking about the most is how good Skinner got during this run dude was questionable before but if he can keep up solid numbers, he will have a home as a starting goaltender
After their first 8 game win streak this year, everyone was chirping calling it fluke and it won't change their odds. Lost 3 games then came right back for a 16 game win streak. They lost but who cares... The team played amazing through out. I hope they can just bounce back. Also, they didn't "fail" at making NHL history. They set multiple records during this streak. Just didn't get the Longest Win Streak.
Proud of the boys. They still made history in my books.
I think it was a good game by both teams. Other than Hill standing on his head it was even. Now this isn’t an excuse but a question. Did the ice have a factor in the game? I noticed players from both teams losing edges and bouncing pucks etc. is this a factor that sways games into LV favor? Do other teams visiting have same issues? Curious on thoughts from others
No. The ice wasn’t a factor.
no it's just vgas slips a lot
Memeing on the Oilers was fun at times, but watching them bounce back was much funnier.
Amazing run by the Oilers. It had become somewhat of a distraction, so now they can focus on winning lots more games and getting ready for the playoffs which should be great. They have an amazing bunch of players.
Apparently Columbus Blue Jackets also had a 16win streak in the 2016-17 season.
Edmonton had the better skating group but Hill won that game for Vegas
They still made history. What other team has had such a dramatic 180 in performance? People are going to remember this epic run.
Adin Hill is an elite goalie. His GSAA -- which is a cumulative stat, by the way, it doesn't pro-rate to 60:00 minutes like GAA -- is more than Demko's IN HALF AS MANY STARTS! His save percentage is 39% better than the league average. His goals allowed average (opponents' S% normalized so that 100 is average and 99 is 1% better than 100) in Vegas's cup run would have been top-3 in the league had it played out over the whole season. I hear everyone coming out with their mock Olympic rosters, and quite frankly, Adin Hill WILL be the starter for Canada (barring injury). Hell if the Olympics were tomorrow, he'd be my pick.
I would hardly classify the 2nd highest winning streak in NHL history as a 'fail'
Knights deserve a bit more respect….
We dont want more respect. We like things just how they are..... 1 playoff miss and one stanley cup in 6 years... We dont mind our current pace :)
Tbh I ain’t too mad about the streak ending. Just happy we’re almost a playoff lock
This channel is pretty good.
McDavid pissed off is fantastic news for the oilers. 20 points in 5 games incoming..
Or not.
@@kevinstull8552 or he will. I'll accept your apology if you want.
I love this content, but I have to point out that tying an NHL record would not have made history.
They lost 1 game after winning 16 and people are talking like there done for the season lol
I think it’s really unfortunate that the All-Star break happened when it did. I felt in my gut that having that week off would kill all that momentum they had built up, and then they’d have to return to the ice and face a very good team to continue the streak. The Oilers run was still incredible but I was really rooting for them to beat that record for the sake of NHL history. 😢
Week Edmonton had 10 days off in my opinion the oilers have had to much time off.
there should be 2 categories. undefeated streak which counts the Era where ties could end the game, and win streak as of now.
I always hate when people say “they only won because the goalie played well” like ok? The goalie is on the team. It’s like saying “they only won because their forwards scored more goals” it sounds ridiculous
Excellent breakdown of the factors that spurned a very dramatic turnaround for Edmonton this season. Vegas is a very strong team, and they’re tough to beat at home.
I still think the truth lies somewhere in-between the pathetic early-season Oilers and the superb recent version of Oil - they’re not a laughingstock, but they’re not a juggernaut, either.
Still, in a very (overall) weak Pacific division, Edmonton is back on track for (what should’ve been all along, this season) a relatively safe/easy playoff appearance. I don’t think we can say with certainty that this newfound focus on defense in Edmonton is real (or not) until we see them in the playoffs.
The so called " still overall very weak Pacific division" has the Vancouver Canucks currently ranked 1st in the league, the VGK ranked 7th in the league, the Oilers ranked 11th in the league (by points although they have played very few games), the Kings ranked 15th in the league (have fallen off lately) so nothing easy there to get into the playoffs with the Flames and Kraken still in the mix...
@@almuthebebrand7487 When a division is *overall* very weak, that does not imply that the division is completely devoid of quality teams. It implies that *on average* the division is weaker than the other divisions. The presence of both Anaheim and San Jose in the same division sinks the average quality of the Pacific division teams well below the other divisions. The other six teams in the Pacific, this season, have combined to score 100 goals, and only allowed 46 goals during 23 games versus Anaheim & San Jose. In other words, the other six Pacific teams essentially get 7 “free” wins this season, just by existing in the Pacific. Teams in the other three divisions do not enjoy that luxury.
Thank you Vegas from Pittsburgh. That being said, it has been amazing watching the Oiler’s 180.
in those 16 games, the oilers faced such paper thin oponents that it should be it's own analysis. beating only 4 teams above .500, LA mid implosion, the flyers who are an anomaly, the leafs who constantly beat themselves and the rangers; that one was legit, huge win. then you have the sharks, cbj, ducks, hawks, habs and sens at the top of my head. winning 16 straight is hard enough, but you gotta look at the opposition. the streak was never sustainable. the oilers home stretch is even harsher and could prove to bite them for playtoff standings
I love all the idiots trying to downplay what Edmonton did. A 16-game win streak in a professional league is a 16-game win streak. There is a shit-ton of parity in the NHL. It's the 2nd longest streak ever. That's fucking impressive no matter who you are.
I don't really mind. We now have a winning mentality that we would not have had in the beginning of the season. This win-streak has helped us get in to playoff contention, and I'm more happy of that. We may have had an easy schedule, but we've played good. That's all that matters.
Adin Hill was absolutely phenomenal for vegas, shame the oilers lost, but the season is not over, keep your eyes on the price Edmonton, making it to the playoffs
Still made history. Just 2nd longest streak.
The Oilers got goalied, a story as old as time
the oilers have the lowest OT losses at just 1 OT loss. thats pretty damn good considering how bad they started and then the 16 game W streak.
The Allstars break killed the streak. Broke their rhythm.
They had too much time and hype pressuring them over the all star break
I love Nevada, we really out here helping the penguins
really disappointed, Ill be In LA for the saturday game. I was really looking forward to #19
best hockey channel
What content are you gonna make after the season is over
This game feels less like something the Oilers did wrong and more like Hill having one of the best performances of his career.
The run doesn't completely save their season. Still 36 games to go and I would argue this is the more difficult half.
I get, and appreciate, the breakdown.. One small point I though of right off the bat, the Oilers with this 16 game run already made history and should be proud of the work they put in.. longest win streak in the WC, and of any Canadian team.. They're tied for second longest win streak ever.. I mean, that's historic, even if it doesn't beat out the record set by the pengolins.
they climbed from the basement of the league to playoffs spot contention. remarkable turnaround and should be commended all the same
Yet again, very insightful analysis.
I must insist you send your videos and resume to CBC Hockey Night in Canada.
Those coma inducing drones have 1/2 the insight and zero the personality you bring.
Nice work.
Glad to see the old record stand, OT and SO wins shouldn't count to break a record from a time where only wins counted
Agreed, only regulation wins should count for winning streak records
The penguins win steak included two overtime wins
A win is a win this is such a dumb coment..
I'm fine with this logic as long as you're not a hypocrite.
Meaning by the same logic the Bruins record from last year shouldn't count as they also got OT/SO points in that 135, which didn't exist when the Habs got 132 in 76.
They don't. There is a big * in front of the Coilers win streak.
Now this is spun as "failure" after just 1 loss right after 16 straight. Sure the record would've been nice but it's still one hell of a streak and seeing how they started out their climb upwards has been amazing.
people can shit on us losing. it was Hill and we crushed in every other way. im proud of my team and so glad i got to be alive watching one of the GOAT #97
Even the loss for the streak its very impressive and what they werr in the beginning till now they improved alot and still need to improve and make lines solid.. but anyone says they won 16 in a row cause of bad teams, my question is yeah if the teams are so bad why havent therr team or more of the teams in the NHL do it more offen. Oo wait they cant cause its not easy to do
Unless they win the cup, the streak wouldn’t have mattered anyway
I said it in all the all star game video comments…that the stupid all star break will ruin the momentum of hot teams and/or players and I specifically said that I bet Edmonton will end their streak due to the break.
They still made history they broke multiple records still and won 16 ganes in a row. That is great for them.
People say they only played bad teams, they beat the Rangers, Leafs, Avs, Devils and Kings, and they beat Vegas during the 9 game streak they had a few weeks prior. Not every team is a cup contender, so if you win 16 games, chances are only 3-4 of the teams you’ll play will be cup calibre
Was rooting for them, but knew Vegas was going to be a huge roadblock
I wouldn't believe those criticisms of Edmonton were real if there was at least one flames fan in there.
great vid
The only thing that pisses me off about this loss is looking at the record and knowing if bettman point’s didn’t exist we would be 2 points back. Why should you be rewarded for losing past regulation?
That isn't fair. The NHL should give them three more first-round picks. Maybe could reverse last year and send Bedard to Edmonton. So they can finally beat this record.
the oilers dominated that game vs vegas too. Hill absolutely robbed that game from them, period. i could absolutley see Edmonton going on another 10+ game win streak.
Jets shooting for the losing streak record!!
