  1. Can we use our TIMEOUT, something that screwed us last season, let’s hold on to it after getting pounded for x minutes straight and give up the lead.

  2. Lazy, embarrassing, pathetic, disgusting, disrespectful, running out of words to discribe this teams effort.
    Bench nurse and ceci and play broberg and stetcher, its literally impossible for them to be worse.
    And in the offseason, get a real goalie.

  3. Its ok Coach, the NHL has a very steep and unforgiving Learning Curve , you will appreciate it more in a few years from now when you are an experienced NHL Head Coach. Right now just know your bosses knew the Odds and Stakes when they laid down their chips on the betting table. Just relax and have fun with it.

  4. Hey Kris, please ensure the team to grind full 60 mins at very least! Please adjust the team after Canucks shut team firepower down in 3rd period. G1 loss like this sucks…But ensure the team can learn from it! 4-1 lead is awesome but not enough! Timeout in hand can be useful! Do something when team get lost! LFG Oilers!

  5. oil played good for like 30 minutes, played meh for 10, then just fell asleep for 20 minutes straight. oil take game 2 tho

  6. You got out coached throwing Janmark on the first line.
    15 shots on a 3rd string goalie is ridiculous

  7. Man, Skinner makes me nervous. It was the same song and dance as last year against Vegas. A .792 average isn't gonna win squat

  8. How you can win game when Oilers goalie Skinner has .79% SV and allowed 5 goals from 24 shots? How you can win game when Oilers $9 million defender Nurse 🤑has (-3) plays on AHL level at best? No matter how many goals Hyman scores (already 9 in 6 games!) pathetic Oilers will lose)) Where Kane (1 shot) /? Oilers had total of only 18 shots on Vancouver’s goalie. Period # 3 is totally lost by IDIOT coach and Co.

    Oilers GM brought 3 mediocre players during trade opportunity instead of 1 or 2 TOP 6 players. Where are those players?
    Idiot GM, idiot coach and bunch of mediocre players and mediocre at best goalie = Oilers team.😝

  9. No timeout in the third, 1 shot in 22 minutes, you should be attacking more to get penalties to get power play chances. 5 goals against 5v5 means you're sitting back way too much. 14 shots in 59 minutes wont win you hockey games. Need to be way more aggressive. They played good defensively and forgot about the rest of the game and obviously you have a 3 goal lead and you want to control the game but you could just bury the opposition too with puck possession and offensive zone time which is the Oilers main strength. And the thing they did none of in the third.

    Stu made 2 nice saves and had 3 bad goals.

    But we move on to Game 2 and hopefully a much better effort from a lot of players here in the future.

  10. Can this dude explain why RNH/Mcdavid/Hyman isnt the 1st line again? It was the best line in the NHL reg season, why give mcdavid trash like Janmark?

  11. Things not going our way?..No your offense providing 8 shots total through 2 periods and Skinner shitting the bed was the main issue…He should have pulled Skinner earlier and he also should have slowed down the Nucks momentum by utilizing the time-outs..Bad coaching helped fuel this loss as much as the Oils lackluster play.

  12. Im an Oilers fan. It unacceptable for the lost of game one. The Oilers coach better wake up and get the team going. 😮

  13. 5 and 0 for the season ….. “why?”

    Um because , Canucks are a good team .

    Press is brutal still. Canucks are good . Hello……. ???? Anyone out there ?🙄
