The Oilers are a disgrace. They have the most talented top six in the league, neck & neck with Colorado's top six. And they have a 2-6-1 record to show for it.
Its not possible to say how many goals is enough to win a Hockey game WTF are you all talking about…..all hockey is a ONE GOAL GAME EVERY TIME. SO YOU NEED 1 MORE GOAL THAN THE OPPONENT TO WIN AND THATS ALL FOLKS. You need 1 more goal than the opponent at the end of 60 minutes to win and its just that simple. It does not matter how many you let in as long as you score one more than they do. Get the numbers and tactics related to them out of your head and start living in the moment like the LVK were last year. You have to think on your feet and adjust on-the-fly. Pre-planning only takes you so far. Ask for help.
They need to split up 29 & 97. Also, I never wish this upon anyone. But, I don't think Brown is the answer here. And, his injury prior to game 10 might be a blessing to save the $ for next season. Woody should go back to his "strong spine" and find wingers to compliment the centers. I'd go:
I can't understand why a team that includes the two best players in the world has not yet hired the best goalie in the world. A Porsche 911 cannot be fitted with Uniroyal tires. Everybody knows that the Oilers has average and below average goaltending. Everyone except the Oilers management.

I still believe we have average goaltending. Very inconsistent. Look at Wedgwood last night , we need some of that on occasion.
Don't worry folks, Oiler for life! Last nights game is proof of that. Gotta believe the team will start making 1 less mistake than their opponents.
Good luck catching the Seattle Kraken.
I hear a whole lot of talking but not seeing a whole lot of winning!
Teams can weather a storm with solid goaltending. Oilers have below average goalies 🫤
Out coached

At this point he looks like he’d rather be at the unemployment office looking for a job more suited to his skills. Maybe McDonalds overnight manager?

Lavoie – McDavid – Hyman
Kane – Draisaitl – Gagner
Holloway – Nugent-Hopkins – Foegle
X – McLeod – Ryan
Gleason should be recalled

Based on his words, if they still can't get their stuff together by the 15th game, what do you do? Fire the coach? Trade players? Give up?
Fire Dustin Schwartz!

Edmonton needs to hire coaches who are effective at coaching defense to young men….
Jay is lucky this isn't montreal or toronto media. These guys are soft in edmonton.
