Let's Go Red Wings!!
Watch Kirill compared to McD. It’s like night and day.
The oilers have a terrible habit of playing from behind. They almost always are whether it be in a game, series, or the standings in October. Most of the time they can catch up and come back but there will always come a time where they can’t. That showed in the last 2 Finals
Wings just shut you down
Knobber is a bad coach. A good coach doesn't NEED. the best 2 players on earth to play 30 minutes a night to win games
Seasons over
EDM tough stretch last 4 games as a team 15 grade a chances against to 9 according to staples and leavins of the journal. Nurse struggling. Bruce curlock could be correct as walman could be the MVP to help settle nurse game down.
EDM has averages 15 grade a chances to 9 grade a chances the last 4 yrs. 3-5 grade a chances is usually a goal.
Roslovic and taking out phlip might of taken some flow and forming chemistry for the lines.
They will work thru it. Skinner needed to make the 3-1 save but he is far from the problem.
Philp, podkolzin and savoie look like the only guys who care rn
I love watching the frozen tundra Oilers suck. Go Panthers!!!
My hot take, neither of last year's Stanley Cup finalists make the playoffs this season.
I was there. Damn Larkin 😒
Disappointing effort.
They are playing like they're only there for the paycheque…sad.
But, it's a long season. By the end of December we will know how serious the Oilers are about making another Cup run.
Happy for John Gibson though, because during the off season so many Oilers podcasters were predicting that going after Gibson would be bad because of Gibson's history of health issues.
Gibson looked pretty healthy today 😅!
Hi Everyone
I don't know why they have not sent down Howard yet. They should also trade Pittsburgh Stecher and Emerson for G Gabriel D'aigle. Also Janmark and Lazar for draft picks
I knew that Knoblauch was going to be trouble when he was hired and we learned he was a nepotism hire to pump air into McDavid's tires.
I hate to say this: … but writing is on wall this year… they wont make play offs.. its cycles every 3 years or so- they will MISS it – leaving only 1 year left for MCD to try winning in EDM; these younger players they recruited this summer aint going to work – its proven so far, no experience and grit – Oil are in deep trouble already; Oil lost 5 players this summer; this Frederick player is suppose to take over what Perry did – get emotional !! – provide GRIT , spark something on bench – there is no scoring help for MCDrail tanden; This Rosolic does not fit with oilers…… sad…. Bouchard – dumb player and Sloppy let so many goals in…. Nurse is as dumb as cold puck; stupid hockey IQ;…TOO many problems…. nightmare continues from June 2025 finals…
I hear you Austin. I feel like we saw this so many times last year. They’d be behind and then they’d get some goals and then they’d have some confidence and good plays again! I just hate that it takes them suffering and getting behind to get that OOMF. And lately it’s too late by the time they get the inspiration. I think you’re right in your previous video where they absolutely need to bring it back to basics. They’re trying too many fancy passes sometimes and it doesnt need to be like that… . Also, everyone just looks so unhappy! Like can they have fun? Maybe they need to remember Hockey being a fun sport.
Glad they brought Noah back. I lol’d at your comment because yeah, that was a confusing move to sit him out last game
Also, can we please point out that the Oilers have only had two months off… Detroit, New York Islanders, etc. had literally five months off because their playoff run ended early. Panthers are also having a really hard time right now. Not all hope will be lost, but I hope things change for sure. I hope they get passion back!!
You can't make so many changes over the last two years and expect the team to still be an efficient well oiled machine. I think the Golden Knights will win the division and be the team going to the Western conference final. If the Oilers can't get it together by next year Conner will be gone.
WHOA… about leon driasatl . I thought it was an odd moment, but I didn’t even realize everything that happened there.
That is UNACCEPTABLE.!!!!
I freaking love Leon so much but I have noticed he gets in his grumpy give up moods and it’s really not cool.
Finnie was also a 7th round pick from 2023. As a wings fan I’m happy Todd is playing the kids, we begged for that last year and finally got it. I feel for you guys
Wings are a young and fast Team, everyones finding out.
As a Red Wings fan, yall fumbled that 3rd period.
Redwings kind of swarmed them from what I saw and Finnie played an awesome game besides scoreing.
I would argue that two of the worst forwards have been 29 and 97. They’re the ones being stagnant. The “cutesy” blind drop passes end up on the opposing team’s sticks 75 % of the time. There is also something to be said about the abundance of forwards that are still here. This becomes Knoblauch’s crutch, the constant mixing of the lines. No way to create any chemistry. In the end though, it does start with 97 and 29. They HAVE to lead and not make the amount of mistakes that they make.
Season starts in November 💔
He tried to throw a hit and injured himself LOL!!!!!!!!! That was the funniest thing ever 😂
I'm a wings fan and came here for your take on the game and oh man… I feel your complaints about uninspired play with no creativity. This was us with Derek Lalonde as head coach. I wept frequently during those dark times. It's hard to explain to people how you can feel depressed even after a win, but that's how it was. I hope the Oilers turn it around. The league needs McDavid highlights. The league is better with a good Oilers team. I'm jealous you have Walman. I'm not sure about the spend, but he's a good guy on and off the ice. Honestly, he'd still be in Detroit in Lalonde was gone a year earlier.
Called it before the pre-season, the Oilers are not making the playoffs this year.
How is the Red Wings having a such a good start?
Edit: Oilers Stanley Cup hangover? Exactly every game matters for every team doesn't matter if its December or not.
Not even the league could FIX Mcwasteofahundredandtwentyfivemilliondollars quest for a cup.
Lol.
His prime is done.
Wish I could wax nuge’s a ss, you know, to make him skate faster… he still is a 1st overall pick 🤕 …❤ my favourite oiler
the minute I seen that video where McDavid was having a temper tantrum in the dressing room?? right then I realized this teams biggest issue was no leadership..Draisaitl is not a leader either..talent does not mean leader..also when you are the worst hitting team in the NHL last year and this year again so far?? thats on Knoblauch
As a red wings fan. We get out shot damn near every night. I feel this
BLUE JAYS ARE GOING TO GAME 7
How is it we’re paying a total of over $23M a year for the three defensemen you thrashed in this video?!
Katz is losing sleep at night thinking, "I gotta give job security to Trent Fredrick for the next 8 years? Lol which effectively means the rich Uncle Katz has to financially support Fredrick and his family for life lol Congrats to Fredrick winning the lottery in Oil town. He's got one heck of an agent. The Fredrick contract will haunt Bowman's record for years. Does anyone honestly believe Holland can step into any party without the Nurse contract pasted on his forehead? GM is the best job in all of sports…a great spender of other people's money with zero accountability. As for the other signings, all great, but unfortunately, Knoblauch doesn't have a clue what to do with any of Bowman's players. Fittingly, Kris Knoblauch is no different than the entire Oilers team, clueless until they have a great awakening.
Don't be sad Austin your Vancouver Canucks won 4-3 today
And when listening to you I hear the truth, Knobs sees Noah Phillip get back on the team tonight and bam another goal. So will we see him play Tuesday Noooo. Knowing what Knobs does he sees Noah Phillip back on the team tonight and boom. Phillip gets a goal. So will we see Noah Phillip play Tuesday? I doubt it! Because that’s the way Knoblaugh roles. If a player looks good they don’t get rewarded they get benched.!
Love to give your team a jab ….but I sense some bad karma hanging over from last year
It’s going to be ok lol
Go look at the stats of everyone we lost in recent off-seasons like McCloud, Broberg, Halloway, and Connor Brown
