A loss would have been better for you. Now you will continue with false hopes. Team played poorly. It was all 97. That is all the Oilers are this year.
Oilers fans are fickle. Saturday night they wanted the coach fired, now he is great. They wanted Skinner and Pickard traded or put on waivers. McDavid played like crap Saturday night, fans we're saying he regretted signing the contract for 2 more years. Either stay loyal to your Oilers team or move on. Oilers fans Saturday night we're booing the team. If they didn't leave early. Now they love them again, till they lose again.
He's done a great job to get the team to the finals 2X. But tbh he lacks intensity. He's too much of a nice guy coach. We'll see. If they don't win a cup in the next 2 years, of 97's cheap contract, will the team keep him as HC?
Number one in offensive zone entry. However i feel we pass the puck just a little too much. We need to get the puck to the net asap. I really hope Conner continues to play a little more selfishly like he did tonight.
I'm not an Oilers fan, but that was a brutal victory. This isn't a team, it's a group of guys with a couple nuclear options. They are so scrubby in their own zone.
Oilers needs a few more McDavids and Walmans, and I hope Hyman comes back healthy soon.😇
Walman became the first player in Oilers history to tie the game in the final minute of the third period while shorthanded. The last NHL player to achieve this was Vladimir Tarasenko, who, in 2022, while playing for the St. Louis Blues, tied the game while shorthanded at the end of a 3-4 OT win against the Edmonton Oilers.😜 Few Oilers players should go to AHL😜 but keep Roslovic, Podkolzin ,Janmark
Skinner needs to go. His best is not good enough with team. There are lot of goalies out there and there not doing well. I watched Stu and he is trying but what you are seeing is his best. In my opinion it's not good enough.
Chris I heard you comment on Bouchard that what happened. on or wherever , didn't bother him. Guess what, if I'm making 10.5 wouldn't bother me either. Look, I listen to Bouchard at an interview and not trying to be picky but Bouchard seems to be in another world. Watching him on ice he seems to be doing the right thing at times BUT I'm not going to give him a pass for stupid, sorry. Cale Makar, born in Calgar yand playing for the Avs . Would you guys compare Bouchard with Makar. Makar is earning 9 mil. I don't get it and Bouchard 10.5 . Good job guys
Cherry picking analytics to say this system is working is not a good look. Walman got some lucky bounces, McDavid went back to peak McDavid form, and without that, it would have been another loss to a team who was so sick they didn't even know if they could play.
Bouch still did bouch things, spent a lot of time skating toward his own goal with the other team. What is it with oilers signing D men to big money and never see them play well again!
I find it sad that when a team or people are working so hard, and when they have a little trouble they get criticized and booed off the ice, why can’t we support each other no matter what? What is going to motivate and inspire someone more? Hey we love you and cheer when you are doing well? Or when you struggle we blame this player or that, and boo you off the ice. We love you as long as you please us but when your down a bit we turn our backs. That’s sad to me
You have lost the ship Kris,don’t beat yourself up seems this leadership group tunes out coaches after a certain period of time.Bouchard,skinner and Nurse are coach killers.

Is Jack a steal or what?
Big thumbs up for Fredrick too

Still played bad enough to lose but got a few lucky bounces this time. Looked like more of the same garbage hockey despite the score
Connor McWalman – they number one in the zone because they get in and button hook and don’t do anything but lose the puck most of the time

THEY SUCK
Hay coach. who show DARNELL NURSE to leave the zone while 2 guys are rushing the net ? THIS GUY IS A SLUG ! TRADE HIM TO THE COMPETITION !!!!!!

This system sucks. Fix it.
Finally benched the Bouchard
Bouchard the way he plays is brutal most nights,id be packing his bags and Skinner too for a real defenceman and a # 1 goalie
Bouch still did bouch things, spent a lot of time skating toward his own goal with the other team. What is it with oilers signing D men to big money and never see them play well again!
Stop playing Bouchard so much. Play Ekholm. Bench Bouchard

pathetic, BARELY beat one of the worst teams in the league
This is a scary team I never seen this for so long i think just sit back and enjoy
Well we beat the bottom place team in the Metropolitan Division, by an unexpected bounce. Good start.
Bailed out by Mc nutsack
For people who think Mcdavid is overrated it’s a game like this one that reminds you why he’s the best player in the world
You have lost the ship Kris,don’t beat yourself up seems this leadership group tunes out coaches after a certain period of time.Bouchard,skinner and Nurse are coach killers.
