On s’attendait à davantage de la part des Oilers à l’approche de la saison et même s’il est prudent de dire qu’ils ne resteront pas au bas de la Conférence Ouest pendant toute la saison, certains ajustements ont été apportés lors de l’entraînement de lundi. Ryan Rishaug de TSN rapporte une séance plus « rapide », le début de campagne inutile de Zach Hyman et plus encore.

I predicted this and I'm feeling pretty good about it, but the season is long. Cinderella teams like the Oilers suffer pretty bad the next year. It is almost impossible to lose in the finals and make it back the next year. Kudos to the 2009 Penguins and 2024 Panthers for doing the impossible.
There’s no doubt this Oiler offence has so often this regular season gone ice cold, with under 3 goals scored in each of their first, second, third and sixth games, with losses in all 4. If Coach Knobkauch puts those lines into a blender, I won’t be too surprised considering the lacklustre effort last weekend at the American Airlines Center against the Dallas Stars.
They will improve their execution and scoring, for sure. I trust Jack Hyman too.
But the goalie issue is there . If that does not improve soon, they need to rethink it. Sooner than later.
Oilers fan here and I hate to tell ya but what you're seeing is the real Oilers. Last year was the aberration.
Oilers didn't sign their young guns in the off-season instead kept the old guys. There not as fast as they were last season, and they aren't getting any younger. I wish they kept Holloway, mcloud, broberg, forgole.. They were beasts in the playoffs, I think they lost too much in the off season.
Trade mcdavid to a team that can actually follow through and win a game 7 stanley cup final. Like a team like florida. Fire the coach is always a choice
Let me guess….fire the coach
Draisaitl should have just waited and joined the New York Ranger
They need to shake up everything to wake everyone up …

Well, the issues have been clear for a while and sadly they missed the window to fix some of them. The team needs a better goalie, better D core and more forward depth, it's a lot to fix but they should've been working on this for years now and they just haven't.
Hyman is unfortunately just not that great of a player he’s a blue paint merchant and last year he took advantage of bad goalies. We really don’t have that many bad goalies this year and defence has gotten a lot better across the board and it’s exposing him. Leafs were right to trade him imo.
Tell the producer to take the day off. Stop being a slave to the clock and let Gino and Ryan talk.
Their PP is too predictable. Every team knows now when McCryBaby has the puck, don’t put 3/4 guys on him so DraiCry is wide open. Their secret is out and they’ve been exposed😊
Their PK is terrible because their D is terrible. Not hard to understand
Its 6 games in😂 calm down! Yaĺl act like oilers dont play like this until xmas
Last year was their chance.
Generational year by McDavid in the regular season + playoffs.
Best PK in years, Hyman clicking, all healthy.
Second round exit from here on out
Dominos sales have suffered large drop due to a worldwide boycott protesting their support of genocide in Gaza.
Hyman not a point seriously
Hot take: the oilers will be fine and go on a big winning streak halfway through the season (l o l)
You can't try to win 8-5 every night. A team commitment to defense might help their goaltenders out. But, all anyone wants to talk about is the Bouch-bomb. Until the guys who play the most minutes on the D-line don't care about the defense part of their position title Oilers will be just another Boucher turnover from a loss!
Oilers need to get a real Goalie or it's all moot.
they should have never fired woodcroft. too many cooks spoil the recipe
RNH….you OK?
New coach for sure ( too funny) ….this guy doesn't crack the whip ( Whimpy ) and these prima donna's ( ballerina's ) need a swift quick …..but I would also be tired of listening to McJesus whine as well
Better defense and goaltending
They are just an overrated team that overachieved last year and got shittier and older this year.
