Just did the math (short sample size I know). But he is currently on pace for a paltry 238 points.

17 points in 6 games 2.833 ppg
At 84 games that 238

After yesterday’s Frozen Frenzy game, Connor McDavid is up to 17 points through his first six games of the 2026-27 season.

He’s just the 11th player in NHL history to record 17+ points through his first six games to start a season.

• Cy Denneny (1917) (18 points) (Ottawa Senators)
• Corb Denneny (1919) (17 points) (Toronto St. Pats)
• Babe Dye (1922) (19 points) (Toronto St. Pats)
• Bobby Hull (1965) (17 points) (Chicago Black Hawks)
• Guy Lafleur (1975) (17 points) (Montreal Canadiens)
• Wayne Gretzky (1983, 1984, 1993) (18, 17, 17 points) (Edmonton Oilers, Los Angeles Kings)
• Mike Bossy (1984) (20 points) (New York Islanders)
• Brent Sutter (1984) (17 points) (New York Islanders)
• Mario Lemieux (1986, 1988, 1992, 1995) (17, 22, 19, 17 points) (Pittsburgh Penguins)
• Jack Hughes (2023) (17 points) (New Jersey Devils)
• Connor McDavid (2026) (17 points) (Edmonton Oilers)

I feel like he gotta steal nuge or hymans spot if he keeps up the pace

Alberta’s decision to stop changing the clocks will bring a new set of challenges for the Oilers as the team is preparing for changes to routines, road-trip travel and more.

What do you guys think of this as Oilers fans

feels weird seeing them in those colours lol

I'm so confused. What has happened to my team... Where is the slow start? Where is the goals leader and points leader with a 0+/- ?

I know this isn't sustainable, and we're due at some point for the 'new coach bump' to sizzle out, and I also know it's only been 6 games... but I'm just dripping right now. Rock hard and knocking it on wood. Wood on wood action. It's a skill, a craft. Woodcraft. Jay. I'm day drunk, sue me.

• Ekholm seemingly back in form.
• Bouch looking like the undisputed #1 D in the league.
• McDavid on an absolute tear
• Drai is being Drai, but way less lazy
• Podzilla is breaking out as a legitimate superstar
• Devon fkin Levi.
• RNH and Hymes coming back soon, Savoie too.

Ok bye.

Cup year 👀

Did anyone else notice this? Is this a new thing? I've never see something like this before, sometimes US streams will have an indicator showing someone's name above them during replays, but this was like a video game-esque control indicator on McDavid for some parts of the game.

Seeing a lot of discourse on the socials regarding our 2C, with people saying that Nuge isn’t second line C material anymore.

What do ya’ll think?

It’s easy to say that given his age and the fact that he hasn’t played yet.

But he hasn’t played yet, so it’s also hard to judge.

I think he still has a year or two at least. But it is a faster and faster league.

Found this in his wiki page tonight

"Levi began by playing street hockey with his father, and until he was 11 years old, his only experience in goal was on concrete."

I was seeing my therapist (a fellow Oilers fan) today and I mentioned how good the team’s doing this year so far. She told me she hasn’t watched them. I asked how come and she said it’s due to Formenton. I brought up how he wasn’t found guilty, and she replied saying he was acquitted, meaning lack of evidence more than innocence. I respected her opinion and moved on to bigger fish to speak on.

But it does beg the question for me:

How do ya’ll feel about those signing the petitions and renouncing their support for the team?
