Nurse looked as if he was on the beach in front of the net. Starfishing and making snow angles. The guy is worse every game. He maybe passed off but he sure doesn't show it in the game????
I think the Panthers broke the Oilers like a cheap Chinese toy last year! They only have 2 players who can score McD and Dri. No Depth ,and the defense is lost without Ehkhom. I hope by some miracle they pull it together in the next 2 games????
I think we need a change up with special teams, like sit out Bouchard and put in Walman for a start. Even nurse looks like he’s on a Sunday stroll. This team has no zip. It was absolutely gut renching to watch LA roll over the oilers with no push back. But hey we can always claim first in the league for having the team with the most pathetic effort in a playoff game. That goes for the whole team!
Skinner and Bouchard are killing this team. I hope we don’t start next season with Skinner as the number 1. And if the oilers give Bouchard 12 million next season, I’ll be turning into a Flames fan.
No more nurse and bouch together please. Swap J. Skinner for Frederic. Swap Philp for Henrique. Start Pickard. No more mcdavid and Drai together. Most importantly simplify the f'ing game.
4:28 I wondered how long before Knoblauch started crying about the officiating. We're gonna hear a lot of that! Gotta have an excuse for not winning with SUPERSTAR players.
I’m a bit upset when writing this but I truly am an avid Oilers fan…my thoughts or suggestions. 1. At the End of this season make a coaching change at the defensive coach, the PK guy to start! 2. No one plays team defence on this team. 3. Turn overs, bad passes, foolish penalties and not covering the open man in our defensive zone are more the problem then our goalies! Our penalty kill is terrible! 4. Speed on the forward lines can help if we actually forecheck and back check…covering our opposition player. 5. Oilers make several defensive mistakes every game…and it is every game! They don’t learn from their mistakes! 6. Start interviewing the players who are making the mistakes in the games…shine a little light on those players and Stop interviewing McDavid and Dreiseidal they’ve been the only consistent offensive players!
I’m guessing oilers are done in 5 games…this is based on their performance against the Kings this season. I can’t believe that coach Knoblach doesn’t see the defensive mistakes that are made every game but keeps playing the offenders. The GM (Bowman) at the end of year interviews ask coaches and players what (has) to be done to fix this oilers roster and the GM should see what the consensus is and make the necessary changes…that buys 1 more year for head coach Knoblach to turn things around. If the same problems continue next year…time to change the coach again and get a defensive minded coach as head coach!
penalty shmentaly 6-2 against the best defensive team in the league. LOL we can play better, then why aren't you??? it's the effin' playoffs. no consistancy here. Throw Kane in the lineup, seems like desparation to me
Skinner is not the greatest goalie we know that, so the first thing you have to do as a team is tighten up the d-zone, that's priority 1! the rest will fall into place. Ekholm is a massive loss and it's showing, his value is irreplaceable

Why they let ken holland go is beyond me.

Defense! The goalie cannot do this alone! And on the powerplay shoot the puck!
If skinner starts im not watching. He is garbage. I would rather have Jack Campbell at this point.
Ur ass needs to get fired
this coach….brutal. completely lost my support this season

Jeff Skinner in the pressbox…WTF, come on
It’s Oiver!
Refs did their part in this series. LA and the Refs vs Oilers
Oilers are like an outa shape vacationer trying to put on an old ugly L A dress , give em a few minutes. 😂😂😂 ….. not out till we out…..
If the oilers win games 3 and 4 its a whole new series. The kings are beatable
Guy still thinks its the same group as last year what a joke fire the goalie coach
Whining about penalties is the first sign of defeat. LA scoring at 50% on PP and Oilers not so much.
