  1. Sorry, Ekky, and thank you for carrying Bouch’s defense on your shoulders… but at this point, Bouch continuously causing headaches and pain is just unforgivable and inexcusable! He’s a liability every game, and it’s costing the team.

  2. I would trade even Bouchard to Chicago for Seth jones immediately we don’t need to pay lazy Bouchard 10 mill next year now way

  3. Honestly Ekky and Nurse have been playing well in this skid. Appreciate Ekky's honesty. One game at a time. Next game we got this! Let's go Oil!

  4. Bouchard and Skinner played IDIOTICALLY. I have no understanding how NO ONE ON COACHING can teach the naive Skinner to NOT WATCH how offensive player circles behind his net without covering the 'other corner', that is absolute Kindergarten thinking from Skinner and coaches!

  5. I will be ecstatic if we beat the panthers Thursday night. Not only do I want the oilers to win, I also want the panthers to lose!

  6. Bouchard was absolute garbage tonight, it was like 21 seconds into the game with his first give away in his end and he has been absolute garbage all year. He aint worth no 10 mil, 4 mil or less for his skill. its been a common trend all year, his nickname should be give away

  7. This guy is the backbone of the defence, its not his fault for losing the last four games. The fault lies with the coach and GM, putting to many misfit players picked up off wavers, that weren’t good enough for other teams, and hoping they would play better on this team, that’s not happening.

  8. ONLY A SUGGESTION
    You guys need to Have a team FUN day. Forget about hockey for 1 day and enjoy each other and have some fun.
    6 flags or something 🤙

  9. Solid wisdom at about 3 mins: It's never as bad as you think when it's going bad, nor as good as you think when it's going well. Ek is such a pillar of this team.

  10. Can we stop singling out Bouchard? Lift him up.

    He’s still the same Bouchard as last season. He’s in a rut. But here’s the thing, ruts don’t last forever.

    When the Oilers string together a few wins, all the negativity will disappear.

    Hard, simple hockey is the answer.

    We are never out of a game. If we don’t have luck, create our own luck by working hard and being relentless.

    Short, hard shifts. Simple hockey.

    We can turn this ship around.
