Regardless of tomorrow's outcome, you've been one of the best head coaches the Oilers have had in recent memory. Thank you to you and, especially your family, for allowing you to come to Edmonton. Go Oilers Go!
Holland's fault for trading for a useless third line center in Henrique instead of targeting true goalscorers in Toffoli and Duclair. You look at Florida, they added Tarasenko and Rodrigues. Look at the difference they make to their depth….
As a long-time Oilers fan and have not missed a game in 3 years. I hate to say it. We are done!! Missed opportunities. Save yourself the long 6-hour flight home. Go enjoy your NHL Salary that 70% of Canadian will never see that much money in their lifetime.
Too many players at this point need to be straight up BENCHED but there are literally no replacements and no room on the bench… Nurse, Skinner, McLeod, Perry … USELESS. Offensive side… GHOSTS… key players invisible…. only goals Oilers are getting are accidental…. they're barely playing as a team, can't function and rendering themselves invisible… what a nightmare but hockey is a team sport not a passenger plane race.
LA was arguably the worst team in the playoffs Vancouver didn’t have Demko Dallas was beat up after playing Colorado Now a real team is systematically dismantling the oilers.
Kris,is a wonderful coach,and seems to be a level headed,gentleman,but he don’t,shoot,skate,or muck,his big money players,and I mean all of them cause their all richer than all of us,ain’t performing,gotta,go the max,gotta do the grit,sorry,but the other team has more grit,and they got it in spades,teams that have that win Stanley Cups,plus the Panthers goaltender has stood on his head,Oilers,not at all,this oilers team is one dimensional !FACT!
Look it's pretty simple it's goaltending! I am a die hard Oiler fan , hypothetically if you switched goaltenders…..we would be up 3-0. This is not rocket science! Please address our goaltending in the off season , without it we will never reach the success that we all want. And every oiler fan should remember at the end of the season next year Conner becomes a UFA in his prime i think winning a cup is a big part of his personal goals, and if he doesn't see that with Edmonton who knows what he will do.
Very proud of the Oilers being in the position they are in. However, they need to strengthen their goaltending and be mindful of their giveaways. Can't keep letting easy shots in and the players need to be mindful of who they are giving the puck to. They have created too many turnovers. I think games 1 and 2 the Oilers were nervous playing in Florida. I think game 2 was a farce with a penalty that resulted in losing a player and a penalty should have been called for delay of game. Can't feel intimated when a team is on the kill to win a Stanley Cup it is a new season. They had good looks but they need to start playing once that puck drops not play caught up when the team is down. Need to keep working in the opponents end and try to not let Florida try and sell penalties. Need to insert all their defensemen and put a few new faces in the line up to shake up the team. All in all I think they have tried to pull all the rabbits out of the hat to try and make things possible, just need to find the right combination. I do not think this team will quit but they will need to make adjustments for sure.
I like how Kris basically throws the rest of the players below Draisatil and say they aren't deep enough.. yet they have 2 of the top players in the league..
Game of inches and Florida has been an inch ahead all series. Realistically this series should be 2-1 Florida, this would be a more accurate reflection of the play on the ice.
Just win one game in front of your fans, that's all you have to do. One game with last change. You and the players know you can do that, so make it happen. Then go from there.

Pickard has to be in net for game 4.
sweep
Pickard will save us!! He better start!!

Goaltending is the problem. Back breaking weak goals are unacceptable. Pickard deserves a chance!!! We will regret it if we don’t start him

Getting out couched. No idea why hes directing the guys in front to deflect pucks from the side rather than screen Bob.
Nurse and Bouchard really need to quit giving up the dam puck
More looks and less goals!!! that what an elite goalie will do 😂😂 !!! GO BOB
What a Dreamer

Find a spot for Sam Gagner game 4
SKINNER probably has the best record in the NHL for letting goals in , IN THE FIRST 5 MIN of the match
LA was arguably the worst team in the playoffs
Vancouver didn’t have Demko
Dallas was beat up after playing Colorado
Now a real team is systematically dismantling the oilers.
Not a shock.

It ain’t over, stop take a deep breath and evaluate, everyone has opinions, lace up and giver
Ask for help. Its free.
To many defensive zones mistakes COST US
ERADICATE THIS makes 1 period 2nd period 3rd period easier ta win ..
Shots at the Florida goalie make him LOOK unbeatable BUT that's what they said in the other games vs Vancouver and Dallas..
Should Pickard start ????
Get focused stay focused be focused
Defense wins games no turn overs let 97 take Over
Go oilers go. One period at a time boys
We need a win in Game 4 please go Oil boys!😎🔵🟠🏆🏒🇨🇦
Man on man. Net front pressence, harder work in hard areas.
It wont be easy but winning is still possible!!!
LETS GO OILERS!!!
Coach Knoblauch , congratulations on an excellent first year, all arrows point up.
At this point, I'd be happy if we even got 1 win.
Otherwise, this is just embarrassing…. Its the SCF.
OILERS in 7! BELIEVE.
