The it's still early crowd are very quiet. As this team stands right now they're not making the playoffs. Leon was awful today btw super lazy. Outside a few players the roster is very AHL level
Caps know the Oilers are soft and they manhandled them… similar to how the Kings bully the Oilers… they were outshot by 20 shots b/c they could not control the puck and penetrate … Oilers are a power play team first and foremost. 5 on 5 offensive hockey is not what they excel at. This team is wholly reliant on the PP for success. Caps were careful not to expose themselves to Oilers PP opportunities…. that is the key to beating Edmonton..Edmonton also gives the opposition 3.92 PP's per game… that's 31st in the NHL. If you give that many PP's away per game you better have a good penalty kill…. The Oilers do not … they score themselves 1.06 goals per game on the PP but they give up 1.16 ~ BTW the oilers are minus 9 in goal differential in the 1st period… 24 to 15 goals. Their Power Play is the only reason this team has an over .500 record…. It's the skillset of two guys that their success boils down to. "Top heavy" and "delicate finesse" can only win so much. Especially for a submissive team that generally can only find urgency thru deficit.
Why not just be honest jay and say the team didn’t show up tonight. Except for Stu was the only one who did. You got start strong and put some effort into the game. The frustrating part is that they can play so much better than this!
Easiest pp to score on in the nhl is the 4 on 3. Teams are so easily creating a 4 on 3 pp by drawing the high forward to the d man and sending it back low right away. All the pk forwards are so concerned about some high shot that they are putting themselves out of position to stop a low percentage shot. Our pk is not personnel, it’s tactics.
Totally disgusted with this team and the garbage efforts night after night. I can't even imagine what it's like to waste $300 on a ticket, bag of popcorn and a couple beers to watch this embarrassment live
I just don’t understand this coach I just don’t he can never come out and say we played the shits this guys brain is damaged He’s a freaking joke just the way he talks
I can’t listen to this coach he is useless absolutely useless he’s not aggressive Coach meaning aggressive doesn’t mean you got a bit on your players . He has no grit to the team does coach nothing I just can’t not even listening him to talk
This is what the team is 26 games in. You can't say it's one player or one thing. As long as we have a good start or a good 2nd. That's not the issue. You're never going to play a full 60. This is what the team is. And it needs to be addressed imo.

Why is 13 still in the nhl
This player was very good. That player was very good. Every player was very good. 😂
Woodcroft is having a tough time being honest.
Oilers just can't handle bigger teams they get pushed around

Stuey stood on his head today
Question about Bouchard was spot on except that he isn’t big or strong. He is the laziest Oiler in his own zone.
Good luck catching the Seattle Kraken
Oilers can’t win if they don’t get PP opportunities. They are not effective 5 on 5.
Oilers had one power play. And when that happens they will always lose.
skinner was the hero tonight.. ❤

When you let the other team get 40 shots midway through the second period that’s not good

Brett Kulak out in the last minute. That tells you we don't have defense. They need to shore that up. Get some legit guys.

sorry. too many nice words. with so many top 6 out, some bottom 6
must step up but fail again.. almost sad to see them on ice
Wild card team just beat us ofc they played like they don’t want to be in that position but oilers smh same story on defense….
The total delusion of Woodcroft is .. sheesh
