The Night Cap: Edmonton Oilers vs New Jersey Devils | Gm 5 of 82 | Garbage Game | Defensive Issues
The Edmonton Oilers, in typical fashion, come out in New Jersey, and a play a brutal game. Will the trend continue tomorrow? #EdmontonOilers #Oilers #NHL #newJerseyDevils #Devils
First 97 and 29 are not shooting and not playing there best and the team isn't following,, but the main reason is Knoblaunch isn't being smart he says play amazing and get more ice time, but yet he doesn't trust the bottom 6 and giving more ice time to 97, 29, 2 and there taking more ice time then the rest of the team, how do you expect the team to play and score the the 3 main guys are getting most of the ice time, and the three guys are going to be tired and burned out… and is isn't a goaltenders fault there not to blame it's every one else and I blame the coaching staff the most.. can't blame the goalies cause they are doing there job and they been carrying them.. this system play sucks ass, Knoblaunch is a lier, McDavid is a lier cause he ain't shooting shit I feel like McDavid last year banging my head on the wall and feel it should be in a mental Asylum there all sucking ass and not playing as a team
Douch-ard rides again, pinched on the PP when he should of backed up, Brown gets a breakaway and opens the flood gates for NJ. Went from 2-1 to put of control with that brown breakaway.
if you look at 3 away games so far, we have a poor performance, from the top dogs we see more cute passes, too many passes (instead of shooting), turn-overs, short-handed goals, no improvements throughout the lineup, too many line-changes. Knoblauch yet again, no hand in the games. A lot of 'nice-talk', no action.
Saw on Instagram that the wives had an EPIC affair 🛍️💅🥂 in NY/NJ. Good for them. 🙄 We can exhale the trip is over. I’m noticing that we’re missing Glen Gulutzan as we don’t have plays for the power play and I am shocked at the ice time decisions that Knoblauch has made so far. Things will get better, but maybe we will have to wait until January before we see some momentum. Gawd I hope I am wrong!
It’s just a boring brand of hockey right now. There’s no offensive thrust. Can’t complete passes. Mistakes everywhere. Poor details and no urgency. And I gotta say apart from nuge it’s the top guys that are mostly to blame. Skins & pick have been just fine.
The Oilers’ next trip to the NYC metro area will be during the 2026-27 season unless they and the NYR, Isles or Devils qualify for the 2026 Stanley Cup final. Yet this month’s trip to the same metro area wasn’t all that great for the Oilers.
I have to say that Edmonton's defense is totally off this year, and not just the back line… total mistakes, the defense is slow, confused, maybe too old… Pickard is doing what he can… but when you're up against this… sloppy play and, like I said, we're slow at the back… We need a really good goalie. Skinner has had plenty of chances, and I'm sorry, but if we want the cup, he has to go. But that's not all. We also need to bring in a decent younger defenseman… Our defense is really a sad sight to behold—Nuerse, Ekholm, and Bouchard are terrible… Offense… I thought that when we got younger, we'd be more aggressive, more direct, faster, but somehow it's not working… The difference makers, Macdavid and Mangiapane, are playing really well… I hope this gets sorted out, otherwise Macdavid signed for nothing… he didn't deserve this…

Not Gonna Lie The New Jersey Devils Players Are Fast And Young And Got Some Old Guys
Oilers don't look like a playoff team.
There are a lot of new players on the team. They need time to jell together
Wow playing like this wont make itfar

Mcdavid is not pointless
No grit!!

Bouchard SUCKS!!! Got his ankles broke at the blue line , guys such a liability out there.
Man, the Oilers need to step up, Goaltending and Defence are the team’s worst aspects
They really need to look for a good Goalie and a Better Team soon if they want McDavid to stay

The over hype of Savoie and Howard was laughable.
There are too many question marks on this roster.
Oilers are in a regress season.
Coach is confusing me, and his players
