No structure in there game, No defenseman in sight, No plays to score a goal. Scratching there head when the other teams collapse in front of the net. Coaching staff is out of there league.
Mistakes: 1. Signing Nurse to 9.25 million (overpaid); 2. Playing Skinner in the playoffs (he sucked!); 3. Woodcroft trying to invent the wheel; 4. Woodcroft’s decisions; 5. Send Lavoie back to Bakersfield, he looks lost!
Oilers upside: 1. Foegele and Holloway are hustling and playing well; 2. McDavid and Ekholm are getting stronger and healing. 3. Draisaitl is keeping his composure; Oilers reduced their penalty minutes.; 4. Played well against Vancouver in 1st period, dominated them for most of the 1st period; 5. Played well against Dallas; dominated them. 6. Bouchard is playing with a little more confidence. I believe the Oilers can turn this ship around; sending Campbell down is not the answer. Playing simple, sticking to systems that worked in the past. An inexperienced coach needs to go through this adversity to understand that losing or failing is a lesson. Woodcroft is intelligent (inexperienced-yes); but passionate; Oilers are too talented to keep losing. This game shall serve as a wake up call. Look for them to bounce back into the win column on Saturday night! KISS(Keep it simple stupid!)
What good would it do to fire Woody? This season is a write off. Stick with Woody and force these guys to learn how to play like a team with 50% less skill (that's where their heads are right now) Firing the coach right now is another get out of jail free card for this core group. Bring the pain, one way or the other!
Everyone saying jay is the problem, think of this. How many coaches does Holland get to go through before he’s the problem? He’s had every chance to change things up and the biggest change we’ve seen is him sign a goalie who was never above a .908 career avg., and a ready to retire Duncan Keith… not blaming Campbell either the defense is abysmal. I haven’t seen a single person blaming the GM which is insane to me. Fire the man
I think this might be it for Woodcroft or Holland. The team has the best duo in the NHL, and they're blowing it on their horrible defensive strategy. And they're paying Nurse $10M/year. And to be honest, Skinner is mediocre. They need better goaltending.

Fired yet ?
Cup or bust lol
Good luck catching the Seattle Kraken.
Skinner is not an elite goalie, the playoffs proved that.
time to ship one of the worlds best players out of town lmao

Gettin' real sick of these generic answers, Woody. What is going on with this team?
Maybe they can get the 1st overall pick

We just doubled our opponent in shots. we just need the bounces

The Oilers need Darryl Sutter ATM. Just back to fundamentals. Not that difficult when your team has 2 once in a generation players playing together.
It's not Jay that's the problem
