Leon Draisaitl had two goals, the Oilers came back from a 3-1 third period deficit, but in the end Thatcher Demko and the Vancouver Canucks come out on top with a 4-3 victory in overtime. The Oilers are improving their 5v5 play, but they still have another level to reach. The Canucks were without Quinn Hughes too… #oilers #edmontonoilers #nhl

We Don’t have goaltending
Im very, very ,very disappointed with Oilers game play and when the Oilers look into this mirror Austin , I hope its a huge mirror…😢
Hey I just thought I’d give you and others interested a prospect update on a few prospects
Other than Day it has been a struggle for the most part for the goaltending. Don’t know why Jonsson hasn’t been loaned to the SHL, we currently have three goalies in the ECHL which seems a bit overboard. Vinni , our second round pick two years ago has struggled in the Mestis which is concerning. With Salonen it looks like he is the starter which is a positive but his stats have been kinda bad.
Defenceman, sundin and Berry have to majorly develop to even be in a conversation of a maybe. Barnett is neither exceeding or underperforming. Yevseyev and Fischer look interesting.
Our forwards Lafreniere, Lewandowski and Park have all gotten off to good years. Denezhkin and undersized somewhat forgetten pick of a few years ago has been doing very good in the KHL. Berezkin hasn’t had the stats of the previous years but part of me believes it’s the classic KHL thing where when they know they are gonna lose a player they stop playing them. I also wanted to highlight that Jarventie has gotten to a fantastic start of the year.
Calvin Pickard (Pecker) has allowed 17 goals in 4 games with a SV of .846 😂Both Oilers goalies are mediocre at best.😜 The Oilers need a couple more Draisaitls on their team.🤪
Mcdavid on a serious decline since his 64 goal season. Its like he's past his prime earlier than expected
Are you guys excited to see Gavin McKenna be an Oiler ?
Nucks fan here, Oilers always suck in Oct..they'll get it together in Dec.
These guys just lost to a team that rostered nearly half an AHL squad. I have no words left. 🤷♂
Im getting sick and tired of this mcdavid goaless drought. He wants to demand to play for a contender, but yet he has 1 goal on the year?? Get your shit together mcdavid if you want to start demanding things! Kiefer sherwood is kicking your ass bro!!!
hope you had a nice time in van
Smashing that panic button!
Eckholm literally just let Sherwood walk by him for that goal..Walman did his part
Other than occasional Draisaitl goals, I dislike everything about the Oilers game this season. Bouch & Nurse worst defense in the league, goald-tending sub-par, coaching non-existing, attitude is like pre-season, line-blender, no effort, etc. We keep playing with the fire in Edmonton, hoping for bounce-backs Nov/Dec. Disconnects on all levels, Knob and Bowman pretend to think the same but they don't, McDavid and Draisaitl are overthinking every pass and have more turn-overs than successes, Eckholm is slow as a snail. The Habs outclassed us by a lot, look how they beat the Flames, the Canucks, probably tonight the Krakens and how they dominated circling around the Oilers. McDavid yet another year where he plays at 40% McDavid's level, Draisaitl plays well at most 10 min per game, the rest he stumbles on 'air'.
I feel like The Bread Man and podz are the only ones who shows up every night consistently and you know what your gonna get from them every night
Austin when we hitting the panic button
AHLers- we have three: tomaszek, Howard and Savoie.
Knoblaugh is great don't get me wrong, but if he can't motivate all of the lines to contribute then we're done. We cannot rely on McDrai for everything and grind them to death.
Respect to this man.
As a Canucks fan, it's refreshing to hear an honest take on your team along with ours.
12.5 per is looking about right, rather than a team friendly discount.
I rolled up wet Bounty paper towels to throw at the t.v. Just about a whole roll
One shift for Howard and Savoie in the third, I don’t get it man.
So happy the canucks managed to squeak out a win with half a AHL roster. But the oilers need to show up for the entire 60 minutes, playing from behind like this won't win them a cup.
4:20 no idea, i turned it off before the goal horn ended
I thought this was an instant loss for the Canucks considering the oilers are generally a better team and all of our injuries.
Surprised that we pulled it off and gives me confidence that we can still win with Hughes out of the lineup. Great game!
I hear a lot of comments on Drai getting kicked from most face-offs for years now. Care to speculate? Why. Does the NHL hate him, or is he a notorious cheater?
The difference is that the Canucks has Sherwood, the Oilers dont. I just hope they start picking it up as soon as Hyman returns
Oilers are the kind of team to lose to vancouver and then win against Utah. Consistency is their biggest weakness during the season. Up and down like a yoyo.
I've stopped watching the Oilers and won't watch anymore until there's changes. All I've seen so far, are a bunch of underachievers whenever I do check on them. Get rid of nurse, Skinner and nuge, nuge hasn't done sweet FA and needs to be moved asap. For a 1st overall pick he sure hasn't done diddly squat,
Pretty expensive for a novelty, and that's what he is.
Time to take the C from McDavid cause he obviously doesn't care
Oilers are really exciting, but so one dimensional. 2 out of this world players that just pass to each other and that's really it.
wie schon so oft gesagt hast, es fehlt die identität – die spiele sind alle ohne struktur und hier sind die spiele 3 uhr in der nacht
I agree with you that they put up way more of an effort with this game! With the way they were playing in most of the first period, for sure it was a win. It seems like they’re all over the place though and people aren’t always covering the right person… like too many times a Canucks player will be wide open! I agree that they have to stop trailing behind to get any momentum. We saw that all last season and it was frustrating! Loved bouche’s pass to Drai for the goal there. Loved Roslovic’s first goal! I think he’s going to be a huge asset to the team as time goes on, and he gets more experience with the team. Also loved how McDavid is driving to the goal more. Here’s to hoping things look up.
OILERS loser team… dead place last in pacific 2026… SLOPPY and PICs are terrible goalies NOT worthy of cup final team mates… the opportunity is gone… not quality championship level… and it shows
I'm so sick of these bullshit coaching decisions!! Putting nurse out in OT with RNH was all kinda of wrong!
Walman wins is OT 3 days ago and they didn't put him on the ice for at least the second line!?!?
It's just like Philp showing then getting benched 3 games!
Lines go in the blender every 2 minutes, no chemistry! Total garbage!
