Les Oilers ont trébuché dès le départ cette saison et connaissent une séquence de quatre défaites avec une fiche de 1-5-1, sans parler de la blessure de la superstar Connor McDavid. Le directeur du dépistage de TSN, Craig Button, nous guide pour sortir de ce désordre pour les Oilers.

Trade Nurse
Button is a Oiler fan boy, only he picked the Oilers to win the cup. Vegas has the Leafs as the best Canadian pick but Button has all this crap to say about the Leafs roster even though their issues are no where near what the Oilers have going on relying on 2 guys, Leon and Connor, to carry everything. Edmonton has ALWAYS sucked, during the Connor era, from the blueline back and love taking the Leafs sloppy second guys that were free to walk because they couldn't get it done in Toronto.
In response to the question that forms the title of the relevant video, it’s not so clear what path there is out of the mess in which the Oilers now find themselves.
Justin Trudeau must have taken over the GM position after the playoffs. Instituted a policy of softness that gives everyone a chance to win! Unlike Vegas and Colorado who keep all the wins for themselves – how selfish!
Lol edmonton relies on 2 guys to win…every1 else on their squad has proven to be scrubs…if mcdavid doesnt play god level this team is going nowhere
Coming into this season, the Oilers had the 3rd best goal differential and 2nd best record in the league since mid 21/22 season. Remember, its not specifically about how many goals you score, or let it, its about the DIFFERENTIAL.
So Jay Woodcroft's implementation of the box zone 5v5 system (which everyone knew would stiffle their offense and their best player and his best attributes) has been a complete disaster. Predicted by many, now its reality. Fire this clown.
They need to play more aggresive in their own zone and stop being reckless with their handling of the puck, i swear i havent seen more turnovers in the start of their season since the dark ages. Their grit has decreased significantly since their cup run in 2021-22, that alone shouldve made kostin and bjugstad signings mandatory over bouchard and mcleod. Their defense speaks for itself. Worst in the league by far. I feel really bad for the goaltenders and the stars at this point.
Funny how Bjugstad, Shore and Yamo are all out scoring the Oiler bottom six……….
How the hell the Oilers gonna acquire more depth when they are paying 2 player 25 million
Unless Nurse waives his no trade, and some team is so delusional as to pick up his full contract, the best they can hope for is they can arrange a trade where Oilers eat 4 mill of it. Even that won't help them open up much space, but it's better then nothing. They are F'ed harsh now. Nurse contract was the biggest disaster of 4 really bad things Oilers did. No easy way out now imo)
QOTD:
"Expectations are a DANGEROUS thing to have, especially when they're NOT FULFILLED."
If they win 10 in a row theyd be around the average predictions people had for their record. Dont see that happening anytime soon though. They will get better but they have to start turning the corner before its too late.
