I know I won't get a response from the panel or probably from anyone else on here as the comment section on these things are bare. But why does it seem like the oilers accepted this loss and almost expected to lose as they didn't have Hyman or Draisaitl in the lineup? Hopkins could have stepped up? He hasn't scored in 8 games. Where was he? Vegas walked into Edmonton's building and gave it to them. How embarrassing. A potential first round matchup in 2 weeks and that's the game Edmonton brought? You know darn well Tortorella had a game plan for #97 and it worked. And some very bad takes by the guys on this panel in this video as they gave a bunch of lame excuses about why the Oilers lost but they said * we are not trying to hand out excuses here* ummm too late. The PP has been garbage and the non calls by the refs are excuses along with hitting a couple goal posts. Now there is no #18 for the road trip as they play two very desperate teams who are playing more desperate than the Oilers as the Oilers feel like * let's just get in and see how it goes*
They have no clue how ready #18/#29 will be in a few weeks. One bad intense playoff hit could knock them right back out and then it's a first round exit for the oilers.
