Woodcroft's new system is absolutely to blame for this start to the season. I knew it was coming, and in preseason we all saw it, now it's for real. Its an ego driven move, plain and simple. Don't fix what isn't broken 101. Whats the only thing that has changed from last season to this one? Wake up Oil Nation!! The team has had the 2nd best record in the NHL since mid 21/22 and last year had the 3rd best goal differential!!! It doesn't matter how many you let in, or score, it's what your DIFFERENTIAL IS!!!! This is a complete JOKE. Not to mention completely stifling the games greatest talent and his greatest ATTRIBUTES!! Wake up. Woodcroft has made a HORRIBLE mistake.
Chronic trouble exiting their own zone again. Woody says growing pains I say no time for that in todays NHL. The problem is the Fans cannot see how hard defensively the Oilers are trying, but it will not look like it, because Traditional Defensive tightening up means more consistent hitting and finishing checks(but not for the Oilers). However to produce more defense the Oilers just tweaked their existing System (thereby screwing it all up) which means they will project harder work on defense by better stick checks and Gaps and Zone positioning. Not the Traditional hard heavy hitting and bodychecks. So we can all relax I see everyone working hard out there every Game it just isnt in the form of explosive game changing bodychecks, they are doing the things their Coaches asked no one is coasting we can all see that, so maybe its time to ask them do do something different. Connor just needs to work hard every night, things will spin round soon, right?
This team just sucks! Hard work beats talent every time.. this is mcdavid worst game ever. This team has no hunger! No drive! It's do or die against the jets who have a actual good goalie
The team looks helpless and out of sink. Can’t rely on the powerplay. 5 on 5 is awful. This system is awful. Jay woodcraft is awful. Connor McDavid is not the same player. It’s AI GENERATED
Teams embarrassing to start off…. Peaking in the off-season and letting the hype get to their heads Was a ROUGH thing. Trust me I know it’s only been 4 games but once ur trailing it is very tough to be chasing points all season.

Maybe hockey just isn’t McMuffins thing. He should give acting a try. He’s already been the lead guy on the worlds best pretenders.
Oilers need to keep Leon Connor Kane Nd Zach forever pls do not let them go or Imma lose my mind Nd b Sad forever ever.

Boys really gave up that third period only down by two then gave up a goal and just ran out the clock no pushback.
Why is Connor playing like he wants a trade?? Garbage. Cup or bust eh
Pissy doesn’t do post game interviews anymore? Above his pay grade?
Good luck catching the Seattle kraken.
Wtf is going on in Edm?
This team is gonna kill me with disappointment.
McDavid’s legs are looking a little weak.
Any trips to Austin lately, Connor?
