Leon Draisaitl didn’t hold back after the latest Oilers loss, claiming the team will “never win” with only a few guys going. But was his comment about things “starting at the top” a direct shot at the coaching staff? The frustration in the Edmonton locker room is officially boiling over.

Lead, push, Oilers management needs to find that big guy who's fast and going to create space and more confidence, these guys should be way more confident on the ICE
Agreed, but just hate when any player talks about their goalie like that, true or not. Not everything has to be said, it's part of a leader to take accountability for some things that aren't their fault.
Honestly bowman needs to go. Trash gm .
It's over in Edmonton
Good. Call a spade a spade.
Bring in Coffey for the rest of the season. In the offseason figure out what to do with the HC spot when you have more candidates to pick from
Where is the Captain in all of this???
When are people going to figure out that when you consistently outshoot just about every team every game, that it's not the defense?!?! Outshot Calgary 39-25 last night. So sick and tired of hearing the fans and the team blaming the D when it's clearly been goaltending and underperforming forwards that have been the problem for SEVERAL years now.
LD almost had a Freudian slip. He almost said, “we’re never going to win a Cup”.
Team defence – how many breakaways/ 2 on 1 chances do the Oilers give up? Is there any stats on that? They would have to be leading the league.
It’s also mindset – with 2 of the best players in the league- everyone else thinks they can be on cruise control.
This team are guilty of conceding goals very early in 1st periods or conceding within a few minutes of when they score. Where is the desperation to consolidate their goal/lead & just play shutdown hockey for 2-5 mins.
Finally – Nurse & Bouchard on the same team is a defensive liability. Both cheat defensively to get up on the offensive.
The Oilers can’t win a cup with both these guys on their D.
