He might be an analytics guy. Edmonton is clearly better with the underlying numbers. If you believe that Hellebuyck will sustain a superhuman save % (which is definitely a possibility) and that the Oilers won't be able to maintain average-ish goaltending (also a strong possibility), you should pick Winnipeg, though.
I’m a jets fan but oilers like last year are hitting their stride. Seasonal position means nothing, Jets have to prove themselves in the playoffs and not bow out first round

@@daytoncjans And you're putting stock into what? The Oilers still don't have as many wins as the Jets, they have not been playing better and couldn't beat the Jets. Period.
@anxietyonline1947 The Jets had a very hot start and have evened out. The Oilers are back in form. A couple games ahead in wins doesn’t matter when the team with less wins has games in hand. Oilers are the better team right now. 1 game doesn’t make a team better when judging the regular season.
I mean Oilers are great, but making them #1 is wild. The Jets beat Edmonton 6-1 and are killing them in a ton of stats, wins, scoring, saves, pp etc. Bruce got into the eggnog early.
One was firing on all cylinders while one was mediocre at the beginning of the season, then they swapped. You have to go with who's hot now, don't you think? Having more points doesn't mean anything. As has been proven over and over, just because you win the president trophy, it rarely means you will win the cup. It's all about who is hot in the moment.
Buddy. If he was ranking based exactly on standings, this video wouldnt be called "Bruce ranks the 7 Canadian teams" it would be called, "Bruce reads us the standings" which would be a complete waste of time, lol.
It’s a good first year getting into watching the NHL as someone from Winnipeg! My second favourite teams to watch are the Oilers and Ottawa. At the end of the day I just hope a Canadian team wins the cup!
Jets have played .500 hockey in their last 20. Oilers are leading the league in last 20GP with a 15-4-1. The Oilers are definitely the best Canadian team at the moment.
@@BigBore525x Jets have spent the most days in first over-all and today…first overall. I think that the best player in the world, possibly the best 2 players in the world play in Edmonton, but today, the so many of the ‘best in the league’ stats lie in Winnipeg. Great respect for Edmonton, especially given their recent playoff run, but give us our moment, however brief.
Of course the Winnipeg Jets are #1 in Canada. When they are on their game they are a powerhouse. Top offensive team with the best goalie and a +44 goal differential.
Near perfect list, Edmonton belongs on top, Winnipeg going 9-9 since the miracle start is the difference here. Vancouver should be lower than Ottawa but Bruce is biased
@anxietyonline1947 Yes after the best start in history they've barely managed to stay above 500. and played the Oilers during that run but not since. Edmonton is 12-3 in their last 15 after a horrid start and have since dominated teams like Vegas, Minnesota and Vancouver recently. Right now Edmonton is playing the best hockey in the NHL by far.
@@jamestokarek-re7gq The Jets beat the wild as well, I'm not saying that the Oilers are not playing great, they are, but the simple fact is the Jets have played better, hence why they are first in the league. And Edmonton is not.

Edm over the jets is actually a joke at this point into the season. Once again you can't take the oilers.seriois with their backend and goaltending. Going on 15 years of saying the same thing.
Jets 1, Sens would be 2 if Linus didn't get hurt and last game was win against the Oilers.

Canucks will make the playoffs. The Flames are still suffering still from being butchered by Bubbles Treliving. Habs need to start over again.
That is a good argument but Draisaitl is currently has the most goals in the season and McJesus is just disgusting still atm. Jets have tapered off a good amount (losing to the ducks and the blue jackets), but you could put them first for some of the reasons. Also, even if Linus was not hurt, the oilers dominated play and the metrics were heavily in the Oilers' favor.
