The Oilers waived Jack Campbell, made a change behind the bench, and reunited Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl, but still haven’t been able to pile up any wins. So, what else can the Oilers do to turn things around? Is Edmonton capable of going on a big run to make the playoffs? Do the Oilers need to go out and get a goaltender? Ryan Rishaug joins SC with Jay Onrait to share his thoughts.

Sorry Helmet
He hired a no name coach. You need a coach with a history of winning that is going to carry some weight.
“Stanley Cup Favourites” 😂
It’s over hahaha what a fucking joke of a team.
Or, as we refer to them down here, The Flames-North
Guys don't blame the goaltenders they are only as good as the defence that's in front of them, and the defencemen on this oilers team sucks. They should trade both Bouchard and Nurse and if they received a Tim Hortons coffee and a dunkin donut for the both of them I would say the probably would have come out better in the trade
Trade Connor to Toronto
Jordon Staal looked awfully comfortable dancing in the offensive zone with the puck. Nobody made it hard on him…
So let's see. Can't blame Campbell. Can't blame Woodcroft. And tonight, you can't even blame Nurse, as he got hurt in warm-ups.
And it's not only that they fire Woodcroft, but they decide to promote another AHL coach, to his first NHL coaching job. Just because Woodcroft worked out initially doesn't mean that should be the tried-and-true method if the team is struggling. If you're going to make a coaching change, you need to find an experienced coach that knows how to motivate star players. Kris Knoblauch doesn't fit that mold at all.
Their D can't d, goalies can't make a stop and forwards don't back-check past their own blueline. Enough said. They've been done since the end of October.
Agreed. They need to stand up and tell each other, STOP feeling sad for yourself. Change the goalies every single period. And push hyman and ryan onto the 1st line. Move the duo back to 3rd line. Make the team mix up and feel less predictable.
Lack of resiliency comes from a lack of leadership. McDavid is talented but is not a leader. Draisaitl needs to be a healthy scratch for a few games, utterly useless.
💩 Edmonton Coilers 💩
I might be free to lace 'em up for the Oilers if I can get some time off down at the cracker factory.
Pickard played well tonight… Skinner played like garbage. Pickard will start to suck once he starts listening to Schwartz though.
Oilers fans grasping onto the season like Rishaug is holding onto his hair folicles
Lol – "bureau chief". You cover sports, not anything important.
Quick for 2 first rounders !!!
Chop Wood,Carry Water
lovin' it 😂😂
Next thing they are going to do is fire this coach and make McDandy coach/captain Slapshot style 😂
When anything good happens the Oilers collapse…any trade partner will massacre them in value ~ they are so desperate.
Make a statement, and strip the captaincy from McDontplaydefense.
McDavid. Leadership personified.
Having 2 super stars is detrimental to oilers . Trade them . Get a whole lot in return
Yes it’s time to make a stupid trade. 😅
HOWZABOUT 5️⃣6️⃣ straight seasons⁉️

Jez…..
They are trying to take nurse out. They’d be better without him.
I have the solution that is needed, that won't happen. Katz to sell the team. He's ruining it with absolutely hysterical and idiotic choices in upper management.
He "is" a problem, along with his underlings he appoints, and allows to be appointed.
This season is over, in Edmonton.
You wonder why the Cup hasn't landed in Canada in forever, well the Americans know this and its coaching coaching coaching. Vegas has had one good coach after another and look at the results. Canadian teams don't understand this don't want to or I don't know.
Edmonton announcing this new coach(NEVER coached NHL) …..is a total DEATH SENTENCE! Now what's going to happen is trades. And I'll be honest, Edmonton looks great on paper, some say its goaltending, look at other teams with similar goalies, not the case.
McDavid is not a good leader. That’s a big part of the problem.
Mcbum and Draipoop were a combined -7 in this one…starts with them, can't score much, can't play D in their own zone, and can't be leaders on and off the ice.
They all have Jack Campbell syndrome
lol this was supposed to be the favourite to win the cup
McDavid and Draisaitl are the best players in the league. Kappa
Stop paying them, that will light a fire 🔥
told you not to sign kane,,,, you reap what you sow edmonton
The fact that theyre playing McDavid with an injury, tells you all you need to know about this organization. They destroy careers. Youre 5-12-1 . Season is done ok? McDavid shouldnt play another game until hes 100%! , and get some goaltending for Christ sakes
Get rid of the black people. Then the oilers will start to mesh
E=NG
FIRE THE COACH! Oh wait…
What’s Klim up to?
