‘The Oilers are lucky to have 97’: Button on McDavid’s performance in Oilers’ comeback win
What do you make of the Oilers comeback victory? Does this season feel different to you than Edmonton’s last two seasons? Jay Onrait is joined by TSN Director of Scouting Craig Button to get his thoughts.
They don’t deserve him as any team that has a generational player on their roster should be doing everything to win the cup and the Oilers just aren’t doing that
Finally….a sports writer who tells the truth. They are not even close to a team who's gonna be a team in the finals. So true, ppl can loom 8n the oast all they want it's the oast and if anyone know hockey you can see it in the performance on ice, they are not as good as they were last two seasons and it shows. If you think Skinner had issues last year well you wait to see this year.
When McDavids contract ends in 3 years I hope the fans thank him for his effort and send him on his way with Parades and Cheers and appreciation. Sad day for me when I completely agree with Craig Button…
Breaking News! Connor McDavid is the best player in the world and wins hockey games for his team! Shocking! How could this happen? Why would he want to do this?
Th Oilers have been bad, no doubt. But to say they cant win the Cup 17 games into the season is an absurd level of stupid. If the playoffs started next week he would be right but not even 1/4th of the way thru the regular season. Ive heard it all today….
You're right on the button, Button!! I have been saying for years that the Edmonton Oilers really aren't a very good hockey team, emphasis on TEAM! The team has 2 superstars and a bunch of over-priced journeymen!! The biggest hurdle for the Oilers is that nobody really wants to play there, especially the young guys!! Most of the players they have are OK players but way beyond their times, and Edmonton takes them, because No.1, the player is just happy to have an NHL contract, No.2, Edmonton get them cheap!! The problem is, to keep young guys, you have to pay them ridiculous money and contracts, otherwise they're going to leave!! Example, Nurse, Draisityl, Hyman, Bouchard, Skinner, etc. I believe McDavid took the cheap contract to make him super easy to trade next year, cause he wants out. As far as this year, you're right , the Oilers don't have the team to compete for a Cup!! Not a chance!! If McDavid has to work this hard, 20 games into the season, by game 50 he's done!!
Button said the same thing last year around the same time. Let's see if he says the same thing that he did last year about a month later where he says the Oilers are going to win the cup. I am going to start calling him roller coaster button because he just sees what's in front of him that day. It's pretty easy to analyze the present. I can do that too.
All these Oilers fans triggered at Button saying that their team doesn't know how to play defense. Nurse & Bouchard are trash. Stop being delusional, Oilers fans.

Get this guy some help? That guy needs to get his barber some glasses bc he looks and sounds like a clown.
This is a total clown show! TSN sucks!
In stark contrast to the previous two years, the Oilers look like the real deal this time around in terms of suckedness.
I just listened to a rocking McDavid song on YouTube music called, ‘McD’. Check it out
Ultimate downer broadcast, gee man
Your opinions doesn't matter button
Same circus every year ..slow start .97 needs to stop pouting when things don't go well for his team
They don’t deserve him as any team that has a generational player on their roster should be doing everything to win the cup and the Oilers just aren’t doing that

The jealousy is strong with button, couldn't ask for a more biased personality
I guess the Oilers reached the finals 2 years in a row by accident, heh Button? Not bad for such a mediocre team.
Craig button should get a job at KFC🍗
And yet he has only 7 goals all season.
Button always cuts the Oilers… he is a buffoon!

Any true Oilers fan hoped they would lose so Skinner gets waived. Now he got saved again with a lucky win just delaying the problem
Craig Button is an idiot. At this point I dunno if he’s trolling or just being dumb
How do you fail to show the goal of the year ?

And the Leafs are gonna be lucky to have him in 3 years.

Failure of management
"Oilers can't play defense"
Jackets had 4 goals on 19 shots…. Perhaps the D isn't the problem?

Button is a buffoon! He is clueless
Button is the biggest of bozos

Some good goal Connor !!
Oilers fans getting triggered on what craig button says when he just stating facts about the team and how they should be thankful for McDavid 😂
How lucky are the Laffs to have Matthews?
