P.K. Subban Shares his Brutal Opinion of the Edmonton Oilers and their Fanbase

"Have the expectations for the Edmonton Oilers changed? Well, not for me. I have championship expectations, but according to the Edmonton Oilers fan base, half of them want to throw a parade for the 13 wins. The other half want to burn my house down for the comments I've made about this team.

Well, when I look at it, in 13 games, this team scored 52 goals. 17 of those are by depth players. The rest are by the usual suspects. You bring in Paul Coffey, a Hall of famer, a guy with championship pedigree to add structure to the defense. Will that happen?

Congratulations. The last ten games out of your 13 wins were against Calgary, Seattle, Toronto, Montreal, Detroit, Chicago, Ottawa, Philly, Anaheim and LA. Toronto, Philly and LA. Good teams, but you should be beating all those teams. I don't see anything in there that warrants a parade. And when you look at the next three games they got Columbus, Chicago and Nashville, those are three games you should win.

This is a team that's been to the conference final. The Edmonton Oilers aren't doing anything spectacular. They're doing what they should be doing. You have the best team, the best player in the world in Connor McDavid, the most skilled player we've ever seen. You got Leon Draisaitl. You got experience.

Now, because you guys have been at it for a couple of years. There's no excuse. I have that expectation. Six out of the 13 teams that you guys have beaten have been higher than you in the standings. The rest haven't. What I'm saying is, my question still remains for the Edmonton Oilers.

When the stage gets bigger and the bright lights come on, can these horses raise their level of play? Can they get better? Is there another level to their game? Because I'm telling you right now, the LA Kings are going to challenge you, the Dallas Stars are going to challenge you, and the Vegas Golden Knights are going to have something to say about Edmonton coming out of the West. So when I look at that, the Edmonton Oilers are going to have to show this consistency when it matters the most, and that's in the playoffs."
