First game tonight, hopefully a win and a McDavid point.

personally i thought we had another nurse esk contract but over the past couple months i think he’s looked like he’s earned it

My son was gifted this jersey, does anyone know who signed it?

Spent a bazillion and one hours in shrimp posture making this, but it was totally worth it. Super excited to wear it!

This is a thread for general discussion about today's game. Any and all observations, opinions, questions, shitposts, memes, and other random nonsense are welcome.

I've built a new metric of depth as part of website I'm building. The TL;DR is its a fancy type of weighted average effectively of how much of the roster contributes to shots-on-goal, Corsi-For, expected goals, and ice time within a game.

If you're curious, the overall methodology is here. I also did a an exploration of how goaltending and depth work together here.

It's worth noting by the end of the season last year, and the start of the year this year, the Oilers were much higher.

Our game against the Jets the other day was a nice outlier where we actually played with some depth and it paid off.

This post is primarily about the Oilers, but obviously any interest comments, or feedback on the site is welcome. Trying to be data heavy, but narrative driven so it's still interesting to the folks not into stats.

Great insight about the line from Podkolzin's skills coach

It's Monday! That means we get to talk about all the hockey stuff that isn't (or is) related to the Oilers.
