Watching the game yesterday made me realize how bad the Oilers are as a franchise. They are literally wasting two of the best talents in hockey. They have no scoring depth and no defense. And the goaltending isnt gonna save you in games when the defense is terrible. This reminds me of when Lebron was with the Cavs the first time. Bad management is failing McDavid and Draisital. When Ken Holland was hired I knew this was gonna happen and the Zach Hyman deal was atrocious from the start. I'm definitely gonna write an article on this whole situation for Puck Prose because this is embarrassing.
It's brutal to play against the Panthers in these days. They just took the Oilers apart. Even the Coyotes probably would have done it better against the Panthers. Probably the best regular season ever for the Panthers. Now they "just" have to overcome the hurdle called playoffs. Let's see what they do in a bit more than 3 months. Can't wait for the POs 2022!
Edmonton is starting to play with similar style how they usually play in playoffs. McDavid is clearly frustrated, there's hardly any great defence and offence is lacking a lot of power.
Seriously? Oilers had double shots than Panthers at one time and finished with almost 40. If Panthers or Carolina can't stop Tampa from threepeating…I don't know who can! As a Blues fan, I'm glad we ain't in East Conf! Plus, Rangers, Caps, Pens, Leafs AND Boston…yikes!
Ooof. Man, I am glad I'm not an Oilers fan right now. This is a meltdown for the ages.
Their goaltending is mediocre. Their team defense is awful, which only exacerbates the problems with their goaltending. The forward corps is too deep trying to cover for the bad D and goaltending and aren't scoring. Which one do you fix first???
Probably time to admit McDavid shouldn't be wearing the C, too. He's a generational talent, no question, but I'm not seeing any leadership qualities in him at all. And that's fine, by the way, but ever since Gordie and Yzerman and Sakic and Crosby, every GM thinks they need their superstar to be captain also and sometimes it just isn't in them.
Oilers defense just backs into their net giving no help. The only time it's broken up in the D zone is when a forward comes back. What a waste of talent. This team should be built for a playoff run by now but they have no D depth and no playoff goalie. So much for being able to let 4 in a game and still win.
I got nothing to say about Edmonton they play good ,But Panthers play super duuperr… cant beat that too much confidence they look better than the All start team. 😄
Bad timing for Edmonton continue to play you will get a win .
The Oilers are pressing. When you press you wind up giving up odd-man rushes. Hockey is a game of ebbs and flows. You have to strike when the ice is tilted in your favor and get back on defense when it's not. Sooner or later those near misses will start hitting the net. The trick is not to give in to your frustration. Of course, that's easier said than done.

Wait Oilers now changed their Symbol with the jets?
OMG, the Oilers squad consists of 2 NHL and 24 AHL players.
New stupid questions incoming at the interview
Oh new oilers logo I see. Cool
Bad Game from the Oilers
Almost no offensive plays
That was a great road win for the Panthers, even against a team who is now sinking like a stone.

what happend to the oilers man they were doing so good now there 2nd last in there division
i will pay for mcdavids flight if he asks for a trade
The Titanic has more of a chance of being refloated than this Oilers team. Man they are one dimensional

I love how aggressive this team is! Go Panthers!
Takes a team to win McDavid, you on this team is like gretzky on the Kings. Hope things get better for you
I’ve never seen such a promising roster this down bad
Oilers continue their epic run of puck-watching, accommodating a wide open attacker in almost every opposition play. Come on…pull it together!
wonder when mcdavid is going to ask for a trade?
Edmonton = Pigeons

B,n, b,bn
Oiler are the joke of the league. The point guaranty for every competitor. Kick out the management!
Just waiting for that Oilers jersey to tossed on the ice! Wow boys just wow!
Groundhog day in Edmonton. Curse of the Gretzky sale.
36 shots and still no goal. WTF is going on with the Oilers.
Block the Edmonton oilers from all social media, they’re bad for your mental health
Oilers need Jesus at this point. Never mind a goalie. Human power is of no use at all.

Terrible defence from the Oilers. You can't stand by the net waiting for the shot, and expect to win
