Go Panthers go you don't need the Referees help like LOOOOSER MCDAVID and the Oilers do in all games they are won. Draisaitl is the best player in the oilers team. Not LOOOOSER MCDAVID
This entire season and post-season has been dominated with last-moment comebacks. If we earn the cup, it'll be no different. But damn would it be nice to have a lead in the first period these last two games.
Oilers are writting a cinematic worthy championship story. With the Country on their shoulders the Protagonists (Oilers) will battle through the Bitter hated Antagonists (Cats and Refs) to conquer the series, the cup and the Hearts of the Country!
why never pull Trent Frederic out, he played so many playoffs games, he only had 4 points. Do you think is time to pull him out? Oilers needs to put on their speed, powerplay needs to improve. The easiest way to deal with an opponent is to fight them the same way they fight us — this is called “an eye for an eye.”
Coach i dont know why youre having full practices even on game days…..while Maurice gives panthers a day off….all series long thats been the case. It shows towards the back half of the games. Come on coach save the energy for the game. 🤬
Kris here are a few tactical options for you that should fares better for game 6 against the panthers to avoid elimination . Based on size , line matching to combat cats patterns that will give best chance to get game 7.
Defence change to have bigger D and a fresh pair of legs
Eckhom – Nurse Josh Brown – Wallman (Josh bigger guy plus he played for Florida , may be an advantage ) Kulak – Bouchard
Forward Lines
A1 Draisitl McDavid Perry A1 Option (4-1) Draisitl Kane Perry w McDavid on D with Eckhom giving 4 rush forwards and back checking by Conner and Leon Perry when needed
B1 Kane Draisitl Brown B1 Option (4-1) Kane Draisitl Janmark w McDavid or Brown on D with Eckhom or Wallman giving 4 rush forwards and back checking when needed
C1 Podkolzin Henrique RNH C1 Option (4-1) Podkolzin Henrique Janmark w McDavid Draisitl Brown RNH on D with Eckhom or Nurse giving 4 rush forwards and back checking when needed
D1 Fredric Skinner Arvidson D1 Option (4-1) Fredric Henrique Janmark w McDavid Draisitl Brown RNH on D with Eckhom or Wallman giving 4 rush forwards and back checking when needed
Back Fore Checking (4-1 F|D format) for extra D+(Goalie) support utilize D Eckolm B/F-Check Drai/Mcdavid/Rnh on blue line defending & back checking (4-1 F|D format) for extra D+(Goalie) support as the Dominant extra support role dominate neutral zone and then send all 4 to get more goals leaving 1 Strong D Back 4 forwards rush in randomly
Stop making excuses. Goaltenders are not playoff caliber. Both Edmonton goalies can't be counted on. Florida is running circles around Edmonton. Gretzky commentating before the series started picked Edmonton saying Oilers are the stronger more physical team. Better than last yr…really? Even Gretzky is embarrassed.
Only argument is if the oilers show up in front of their goalie cause its pretty damn obvious bobs on his toes and is the better one between the two teams, but when the oilers are on their game it makes it easier on them. Gotta run skinner.
Skating on / skating off the playing NHL ❄ Ice Oilers do this not for their fans,family …Oilers do within ,and yes is their employment. Us fans connect by purchasing Oilers merchandise…so there you go Oilers us fans love you ,hockey 🏒 players,go Oilers Go Oilers win ..cup… Ps follow your coach.. teachings ,etc Go Oilers win your cup…go Oilers 😇💕🎉
Pickard should be in with FULL D support . They want skinner, because it gives panthers a better chance . Hopefully Kris wont listen to media undermining suggestions .
Knoblauch needs to adjust PP to deal with Florida's pressure on puck carrier. Quicker passing and more movement would be a good start but they need to practice this.
Ai's take on this….The Oilers' inconsistent performance, particularly in Games 3 and 5, ultimately cost them the series. The Panthers' strong team defense and exceptional goaltending from Sergei Bobrovsky proved too much for the Oilers to overcome.
You're right; discipline and hunger are crucial in the playoffs, and the Oilers fell short in those areas. Taking unnecessary penalties and lack of focus led to their downfall.
It's interesting that you mention Wayne Gretzky's advice about staying out of the box. His words of wisdom fell on deaf ears, it seems. Hopefully, the Oilers can learn from their mistakes and regroup for a stronger season next year.
I really feel Florida has out coached the oilers. You have to make changes if it’s not working. It is astounding that the lack of desire of the oilers I. A crucial game. They got beat to the puck and no physicality.

Draisaitl is the best player in the oilers team.
Not LOOOOSER MCDAVID
Panthers are to much for oilers to handle
You need stability amongst your goaltenders. Pick someone and do not switch them again. Although it may be too late

The Oilers are a team that has to burn their tongue on the stove to get going…. it's in their nature…. but still no resolve for Panthers IMO.
Well in this position again, best of luck oilers
At this stage, this coach is creating more problems than he is solving.
1:42 I still think we NEED to fire Dustin Schwartz and hire Devan Dubnyk

Next game in Florida might help. Get away from the distractions and stress in Canada. Enjoy some warm weather before hockey
Oilers r already thinking of the beach 🏖️ it’s over
Believe.
mcchicken , mcflurry, mcdavid… Cats in 6🐀
Go Oilers! I still believe!!🎉
Full 60 to drag them back to Alberta for winner take all in game 7
Oilers game 4 they flew on the ice!!! Wow!!!
Win it Kris!!!! Hoping you all take it.
Complaining about special teams when your team should have the power play advantage is funny. No credit to the panthers penalty kill
Hahahahahahahahahaha. Edm are bums.
MAGA/VGK 💪🏆😎
Oilers are deep
Edmonton Oilers LOST that game not Florida won that game!!!!! ..
We made so many errors and gave so many handouts Florida capitalised !!!!!!….
And why O why do we play so well away from Home ????
Jam the net ,just park yourselves in from of bob screen him ….
Tighten up on the back end and Finnish ya checks ,don't take penalties
Remember how you guys feeling after game 7 last year CHANGE IT !!!!!!…… PLAY SOLID 💪🏾

Pickard should be in with FULL D support .
They want skinner, because it gives panthers a better chance . Hopefully Kris wont listen to media undermining suggestions .
I think Kris seems off. I wonder if he is not feeling well.
Knoblauch needs to adjust PP to deal with Florida's pressure on puck carrier. Quicker passing and more movement would be a good start but they need to practice this.
Eckholm is not ready to play major minutes yet.
What happened to the team that beat the kings knights and stars. You losing to a panther?

U gotta give the last 2 starts to Skinner, rely on him to pull u thru
Put Draisaitl on the first line against Barkov and put Mcdavid on the second line
