This team simply isn't good. All the fans will do is reply to this by name calling and have zero argument. The team is in deep trouble. 19 games in with no improvement it's time to make changes.
At least Campbell could stop a puck with his face…… best aspect of tonights performance. According to Jay tonights game was the closest 5-2 game of the season. Oilers are 27th in defense……there is your self inflicted issue. Oilers are a team that needs to hit "a bottom" ~ an abyss to rise up from and resolve their issues…. they are not there yet…. they are not a cohesive unified team… Another month of this and the rumblings will get much much louder…. IF around the new year they are .500 or less…. good luck Jay.
What's up with Bouchard? He seems to have changed his quick sneaky wrister for the big wind up and he can't get shots through from the point any more. And most games he seems to be in the minus column. Not looking too good,
Nurse standing to the side wondering who he should cover, getting sick of seeing that. Any bottom end D man can do that, any decent D man can block a shot. Overrated player no question…….but there will be 2 or 3 haters coming after me for saying that, hey it’s my opinion.
BAD BANANA'S!! It's now an established repeating pattern. Even vet players causing horrendous turnovers at horrible times. Repeatedly. This team playing it's best A game with above average Goaltending wins a lot of games they're in, but that Team has rarely been here this year. I don't care how good the offence is, no team playing this level of Team D is going much of anywhere even if they make the playoffs. Something has to give soon. I Hope Kens working those phones…
the complete screw ups Nurse keeps doing and costing us goals . hes just wandering around looking like hes lost hes not doing his defensive job at all every single game most goals against is all because of defensive (almost always Nurse) out of position or just aimlessly wandering around letting guys in off the blue line. Glad someone else sees this abysmal game play from nurse and the defense.
In my opinion its just grit that they miss. Watch the other good teams in the league play its clear as day the oilers dont play with enough desperation until theyre well too late. My opinion but what do i know
This team is a fraction of our team in last years playoff run. A small fraction and connor and leon know it too. They gonna be talkin to old kenny boy for sure
Its like there waiting for something, I know this team can be dominate run out teams off the bat. Its a waiting game for me and then we’ll see I guess.
D’s are consistently out of position, I’ll say it again, work on the D zone positioning and 1vs1 battles. Triangulation and pressure are the keys. Gone on to long, time to change your D Coach.
Lindy Ruff is a good coach. Jay got our coaches. Why was Puljijarvi on Leo’s line ? He doesn’t like it. Why was Foagle taken off that line. Why did Campbell not start ? Why do you keep changing everything up every game
Oilers seems to be bad in November like last year we struggled in November and December then acquired Kane and hired woody in January I think. Hope oilers turn this around

How confident are you in your D core, Jay?

Are the boys killing off another coach????
It don’t look good yo
The drive was missing. No determination… They were flat and made some mistakes.
Not try to stop them, but actually stop them.
Can't be wishy washy out there.
We're going into no man's land as the season progresses. Not good enough for playoffs, not bad enough for the draft lottery.
Jay 'got to clean up' Woodcroft

Leadership, there is no leadership.😤
Man The oilers need to get there act together and start getting back on the winning track
Skinner needs to make those stops and the team needs too stop just throwing the puck up too no one so annoying
That was brutal, again. They look like a team that could miss the playoffs at this point. Plain and simple.

How many chances does Puju get. He’s a bust as an oiler. I said the same about Khara
Defense just sucks there's been no fix all season and since last season. Fire the Defense assistant coaches bring in someone new.

I kind of hope we keep losing for a good stretch so management is forced to make some bold moves

The team is still a one trick pony.
Says Same thing he not NHL coach
Mikey Mouse team
Hartley Babcock or Quenneville
NJD wouldn't trade Hughes and Hischier for McDavid and Draisaitl!

You’ll get there boys. Dont give up. The road to success is not easy.. 💙
Seriously Man, out played, out coached, out managed, (shame on Ken Holland) Free Connor, any where but the oilers.
