Connor McDavid scored to extend his point streak to 15 games but it was not enough as the Philadelphia Flyers defeated the Edmonton Oilers 5-2.

The Oilers are going downhill fast. Whenever they come up against a real team they lose because the forwards won't back check and their defencemen (Nurse and Bouchard) can't defend.
McDavid to Philly. Let’s talk about this
Not that we didn't know it, but The Bomber made a clear statement as to why he'll never make Team Canada.
Even with Stauffer selling him to the entire world.
On the other hand he had a three point night, one for Edmonton and two for Philly.
Philly will take McDavid… if all ya want to do is b@!!
Fire the general manager fire the damn coach the Oilers lineup from 2nd to 4th suck
Nurse and Bouchard receipt for easy goals – in their net.
Bouuuuuuucch. 😂
Vladar>Ersson
Черная обезьяна Nurse привез второй гол,так еще и подраться толком не смог.Oilers выгоните вы этого лузера уже….Black monkey Nurse scored the second goal and couldn't even put up a proper fight. Oilers, fire this loser already…
While he's an effective player, Podkolzin is not a top 6 forward. He's never going to be Esa Eikkanen. Knoblauch needs to give his head a shake and start putting a proper, offensively skilled player on Draisaitl's other wing. What's the point in calling up Hutson and Howard if they're going to play less than Henrique and not be given a real shot at showing what they're capable of doing playing along side the top players. A partial shift at the end of the game here or there with McDavid and/or Draisaitl is pointless. Knoblauch has no desire to try anything different from his status quo. The team is looking for balanced lines, yet, when's the last time Nuge played centre? With Huston and Howard called up, they now has the pieces for 3 balanced and dangerous lines. There's no reason not to give the kids a legitimate shot on the top two lines while, moving Nuge down to centring the 3rd line with Podkolzin and trying Savoi or others on the wing. *Edit: I know it'll go against popular opinion, but Knoblauch has not utilised the resources of this team to there full potential. He's completely stuck in his tunnel vision. He comes across as a thinker and player's coach in the media, but I'm not convinced that's the case behind closed doors. I think someone else could get a lot more out of this team. Over the last two seasons, I have seen too many instances when the Oilers just kept hitting their head against the proverbial wall instead of making adjustments, whether in-game or in between games. The Stanley Cup Final was such a blatant example, and it's carried over into this season. The Oilers need a coach who has some imagination, who has a game plan and style that really uses the strengths of the players, and who actually likes skilled players using their talents outside of Draisaitl and McDavid.
Bouch protecting an empty net was a good laugh.
The Oilers aren't going far in the playoffs. Defence and GT the problem
Haha!
Every highlight a flyer in front of pickard unchallenged. Oilers d coach should be fired.
how didnt they learn from nurses contract. smh
I did diminish Vladars contributions more than once lately. Basically due to his NHL career before this season. But I have to take a hit for sure tonight. He was outstanding today. Particularly early
Oilers come across as a team with superb talent but very limited 😕 work ethic 😮 I don't know if they think 🤔 they can just win with talent alone but – ROLL IP YOUR SLEEVES AND F- WORK! They continuously get outworked
Oilers fans will secretly just fine with this result because McDavid had two points and most of them really do think Bouchard is awesome and valuable, so that one-timer goal makes them feel good.
At least your not a Jet fan, so things aren’t that bad.
Flyers showing Power.
Name one b grade coach who has won a Stanley Cup? I'm sorry man. There are none. Peeps defend this coach in Edmonton with back to back SCF appearances bla bla. Guess what? That club is loaded. Arguably the most lethal offense in hockey top to bottom. Yea yea, Skinner was suspect. Pfft. Anti Niemmi won a Cup people. Bashing the D is always next. Ya know what ? The Oiler D is more than capable. The problem is, and has been, that there is no coach in that room that the players all respect and pledge a strict disciplinary gamelan to. Mcdavids the coach. Everyone knows this. They will not win a Cup with a Coach that may as well be tge towel boy
I just came here to watch Barkey's first goal – he started the breakout in his own end, kept his feet moving, and then ended the play with a tap in goal. So excited to see him get his first goal, and I really hope he does well!! We loved him in London during his time with the Knights in the OHL
Oilers suck!
I think if Edmonton had a good goalie the cup would be in Canada
Maybe some defense would help
If a guy has never scored in the NHL , he will against the Oilers. Oh as always, Douchard is the worst player in the league.
