  1. Offense: so-so, but defense: a disaster. Washington scored several goals quite easily.
    Capitals is not a top team, but what can you say when Buffalo, a no top team either could easily beat Oilers. Wake up, Edmonton.

  2. Nurse and Bouchard put on waivers along with Skinner and Pickard , no one would claim them thats how bad it is , bring up Dineen , Brown, Ingram and Johannsen shake it up boys.

  3. Hey Oilers fans, how's that Stuart Shittner working out for ya? But of course it's all the defenses fault right trolls? 😅😂

  4. i have a couple of thoughts, bear with me (i need to get it out or i'll burst)

    atp i can't even blame stu because his highs are high and his lows are low. it has BEEN on management to make some calls and figure something out because they've changed EVERYTHING from defense/defensive coaching to offense/offensive coaching, goalie coaching, the lines, the entire goddamn system. maybe try changing the one thing y'all havent touched yet.

    sticking to current events, it's like they're on a seesaw. offense/defense gets going but goaltending doesn't. vice versa. far be it from me to fansplain, but usually, don't team sports work best when the entire fucking team plays together? also, the whole third period comeback shtick is getting annoying. it used to be cute but now it just screams lethargy. i wonder how many players have already mentally checked out of this season.

    oh well. we can only hope that now that shit has gotten to the lowest point it possibly can (oilers this is NOT an invitation to prove me wrong), things will get better.

    great video as always austin! hope you're taking care of yourself 🙂

  5. Absolutely disgusted with their performance last night against the Caps. Agree with your analysis.

  6. I can’t stand how people keep saying bouch is good. He’s on the ice when we score so he’s good? NO HES A EFFING PILON

  7. i said before Draisaitl signed that they should trade him for a goalie and some wingers and I understand why so many fans hated the idea… but just think of McDavid with 2 top wingers, RNH with 2 good wingers, and a reliable, veteran goalie that's been there before.
    The players they have could fill the bottom 6 (where they belong) and others would be trade bait.

    Hell, they might have been able to keep McLeod or Hollaway.

  8. Skinner and Pickard couldn't stop a beachball. Pathetic team this year. Pathetic effort this entire year. McDavid looks like a passenger this year. Defence is garbage.

  9. Austin ,this is a system issue,it looks like the life has been sucked out of them,their playing a system they hate it’s obvious

  10. I waited some time to let it settle to post. I still feel the way I do after last game lose. Yes Skinner posted another sub .900 game, and not to defend him(which im not) but any goalie you put in the net right now is going to post sub .900 when the team plays this bad. Yes there was aggression, and yes there was offence this game, but you CAN NOT be a great team with 5 players. They need to bring in better Defense minded defensemen. McDavid played better defense tonight than most of the D men. And why dress 6 D men if you are only going to play 4 1/2? we had 2 under 10 min of play time, and Regula had 3 shifts? thats insane.

  11. I don’t think roster changes will save us there is some sort of spark that is missing for our guys. They will get going i am sure

  12. Its not complicated. 1. Coffey is gone. 2. This team has less talent. 3. Knob is a lousy coach.4 they didn't get a gaolie. Knob has allways been a lousy coach. Some say , well… he took us to 2 cup finals. Blahblah. A chimpanzee could coach that group. Knob screwed up 2 stanley cup finals. This less talented team requires an nhl coach. Knob is pals with conner and bum buddies with jeff (liver-lips) Jackson. Thats the only reason he's there. Also. I watch every game with keen interest. Just because they aren't doing good right now, doesn't mean i shut it off like some of these bandwagon jumpers commenting here.

  13. As mediocre as Skinner and Pickard are, is there an NHL goaltender out there who could come close to a .900 save percentage behind this team's defensive play? The answer is no.

  14. 1 step forward 2 steps back….It's the Oilers dance this year. 1 +ve thing is that the Oil can score.

  15. And people are STILL defending the goaltending on all socials. Saying stuff like, “we could have prime Roy in net and still lose that game”. NO, THAT IS NOT TRUE.

  16. Bouchard and nurse are actually good together, oddly enough. Ekholm made a tremendous play to break up that 3 on 1.
    Kulak was the same as every other game( unnoticible)

    From what I watched it was a decent game, the only thing that went wrong was skinner letting in peanuts.
    And bouchard could have leaned a little harder on that partial break.

  17. They'll make it to the playoffs, I have zero doubt.
    But theyre just pissing ofd their fan base first before they do

  18. At this point the Edmonton Olers need a rebuild, trade Draistl, RNH and Darnell Nurse for high end picks and prospects. This must be done !!

  19. Bowman and Managment set this team back a decade, thats to bad had a couple nice runs tho , its clear they are not looking for goaltending or defense or offense, I hope McDavid eas smart and has a clause in his contract

  20. They've played 27% of their season but have accumulated less than 24% of the points needed to make the playoffs. Not good.

  21. Draisatl can only score when McDavid feeds him on the power play
    Can’t believe
    He is the highest paid player on the team
    What a joke

  22. Skins actually wasn't terrible las night. This one wasn't on him at all. He wasn't good enough to some extent but the team in front of him was atrocious yet again.

  23. I’m still believing they’re saving their engery and best plays for the late season. Mcdavid has shown a few times he still has the mcjesus engery in him.

    Why try hard now and possibly lose your best players to injuries and lose the best plays to repeated use.

    I think new year and they are playing new. And if they aren’t all good we got mcdavid for a few more years 😂
