Can McDavid Deliver Glory? Why 2025 Feels Like the Oilers’ Moment

It’s been 34 years since the Cup called Edmonton home. But now, with Connor McDavid in full flight and the Oilers finally firing on all cylinders, the dream is no longer far-fetched — it’s forming.

This team isn’t just built to win. It’s built to dominate. And if you’re ready to back them, both Bet99 and Sports Interaction are offering exclusive playoff bonuses for Canadian fans.

A Team Hitting Its Peak

1. McDavid and Draisaitl: Once-in-a-generation weapons

They’ve carried this team for years — but now, they’re surrounded by the depth to let them truly shine. McDavid’s playoff-leading assist tally is matched only by his breakaway speed, while Draisaitl’s release has turned defenders into spectators.

2. The Power Play is Borderline Unfair

Still converting over 30% of opportunities, the Oilers’ PP is punishing teams that can’t skate with them at 5-on-5. You take a penalty, you pay.

3. Defensive Structure Finally Arrived

With Nurse holding steady, Ekholm stabilizing, and Bouchard quarterbacking elite transitions, the blue line is no longer a liability — it’s an asset.

4. Skinner Has Settled

Stuart Skinner has kept the team calm and controlled — and he’s getting goal support when it matters most.

Their Playoff Route

  • Round 1: Dispatched the Kings in 5 games — faster, smarter, and meaner.
  • Round 2: Beat Vancouver in a gritty, high-scoring series. Big tests for depth, passed.
  • Western Final: A likely showdown with Colorado or Dallas.
  • Stanley Cup Final: Most likely opponents: Florida or Toronto.
