Holland’s to busy kissing Connor’s *ss, rather than bolstering Edmonton’s obvious defensive/goaltending issues…ownership’s likely behind some of this, knowing Connor will likely want O U T ‼️
40+ years as an Oiler fan, behind this realistic statement…dropping my fanboy dreams when #99 was traded, eons ago.
I don’t understand how Bouchard could still be on this team he’s not even a minor league player as far as I’m concerned. Dreadful, it almost makes me want to quit watching hockey.
I think we can all agree this season is a complete wash…. Rather than trading Jack Campbell for 3 first round picks and making more horrible short term trades… why don’t we wait until the off season and make smart trades once Holland is out the door!
Oilers really suck this year. Defense looks really weak out there simple plays to get it out of the zone, and they elect to skate in the defense zone like idiots. No traffic in front of the net, no pucks going towards the net no greasy goals no heart. I would actually be happy if Leon or McDavid went to a team that can contend . I'm so sick and tired of watching these bums play.
Probably need a goalie, 2 depth bottom 6 players, and 1 more D-man. Shame we keep signing players who can’t do anything and let go of the people we desperately need.
Remember what St. Louis did but don’t forget we have the best player in the world! Making the one trade for a D man can turn things around it’s also apparent that they are not tuff enough. What’s the word Calgarys old GM said “Truculence”, need to sit Bouchard for a couple games not sure if Coffey can fix that one? If Kane doesn’t take that penalty could have been a different result?
Their losses keep repeating themselves. Their problems are still there, thats a tell tale sign for the manager to make some changes. Youre relying on skinner and pickard for a season turnaround? Thats a hoop dream.
New coach same result. Defence look scared to make a mistake then do so. Something major is going to happen and has to. Picard tried to keep the team in it but there is a reason he has limited time up in his career. Drai has zero luck . Frustrating season. Still a 60 minute game but the boys start well but not carrying it for the full game. Holland will be gone soon , Swartz still around.
Gonna hate me for this, but we need to make some major moves, I feel like we need to fix the power play the defence as well, we need to stop just waiting for the puck. Also maybe a drai trade? Would get a big return for him maybe a bottom 6 and a star goalie, but imma say this we are not making the playoffs this year, we need to be around the 45-18-1 ish mark to make it to 100 around 43-18-1 to be in a wild card spot, hate to say it but we need to retool this year.
This team is just terrible,can't see them digging out of this hole now.They all seem to have forgotten how to play hockey over the summer.Just embarrassing.
They are practicing golf swings. The defense just caves. Blows me away how the forgot from last year how they made the playoffs. Shows how little pushing out a good coach did anything.
As a Habs fan , I love Monty , so I hope Hughes don't trade him , Oilers should trade for Allen , he's a good goalie, if him and Skinner can rotate, Jake only falls off when he plays alots game in a stretch, and Oilers need a good Defenmen , what about Savvy , David Savard , he's almost ready to return from injury soon , Hughes might be willing to trade Savard, he's a brick wall at Defense, if Oilers need someone to block pucks , savvy is a great teammate and a leader too , just can't have Monty 😢
Im starting to think having two superstars is a luxury we can no longer afford to keep. We have to many holes on our roster to over look this. Time for a change
The Oilers keep laying big patties of feces on the ice game after game and Patrick's dedication to try and dig through it to find any nuggets of goodness, nearly impossible to do this year, but thank you for your thoughts and videos Patrick, much appreciated. With the Oilers it's more like half a step forward and then 5 steps back. It's gross.
Hopefully management slows it down. Don't pay the huge price to trade Campbell. Bury him then buy him out next year. Make actually hockey trades. There are teams that have too many dmen like the blue jackets. It's time to slow it down and manage for now and the future and don't panic. Stop managing like you are going loose your top 2 centers. Manage like your a good org and make smart hockey moves. You don't see the Bruins making desperate moves. There are moves out there that can help the defence and forwards without over paying. This season is a right off so manage to clear cap space to eat some of Brown's stupid bonus that he should of never got. Make a trade or two to get good pieces to stablize the d core and the backend. Whatever u do don't make panic moves to go all in for this season. Guess what cup or bust turned out to be bust but don't make it worse. Look at the Bruins they went all in last year and lost but they kept there heads down and made solid moves to fill holes and they are still a solid team because of it.
I thought Pickard did well considering what he has in front of him. I say give him more time. Dominik Hasek wouldn't do well either the way this group plays d. If we're going to get a goalie, we'll probably have to give up a goalie. The Mrazek idea sounds interesting. He's with the Hawks now? A rebuilding team. Possible trade partner. Not interested in any goalie Montreal has. I do like Josh Anderson. He's not doing so well this year. Maybe change of scenery might help. Add some skill, size, and toughness to the bottom six. What's his cap hit? Florida beating us up all over the ice. Laughing about it too. Playing extra hard against McDavid and Draisaitl. Just like everyone else. Slowing them down. Even taking cheap shots at them. So, add toughness too. A 'sheriff' to protect them. End of last year the comment was "Cup or bust". Maybe not a good idea to say that. Puts an even bigger target on our back. Other teams around the league might not have liked that comment. Broberg might be very good a couple of years from now. Problem is we can't wait for that to happen. So he goes in a trade. Have to improve our d some way somehow. We'll have to pay a huge price to do that. Everyone around the league knows we're desperate. Going into this road trip thought we needed to win two out of four. Three to one even better. Now? From here on in every game is a playoff game. Everyone has been playing us like that anyhow. Maybe because of that comment. Still hard to believe this is basically the same team that came within two games of going to the Cup final. I miss Tyson Barrie. Bouchard frequently looks lost. Is McDavid really allright? Find out how he feels tomorrow morning. Wouldn't be surprised if he's injured. Hope not. Patrick, you looked so sad. Made me feel sad. Of course, I felt sad anyhow. At least the sun comes up tomorrow.
it's the Universe laughing at the Oilers… "cup or bust!!" "Stanley cup contenders!" "the best in the West" When you assume how your season is going to go before it even starts..you're in big trouble. It's a lesson people have been learning for a millenia …like the old saying goes "if you want to make God laugh…make a plan"
Your vids are a calming experience that bring me back down to earth after these losses I get so irrationally frustrated about lol. Love the channel, keep it up!
Woody wasn't the problem, and no problem was solved by firing him.
I don't think Cayden Primeau is the solution either. A monster goalie like Saros could be, but he's not available. Expect for that, a defensive d-man would probably be more helpful.

Thank you Patrick for doing a video after these horrible games. Your the best
Edmonton fans need to start protesting in large numbers at Rogers place cause nothing is gonna fix this mess
Time for a trade and goal 2 and 3 where bullshit goals. Pickard played well

It’s frustrating to watch them, even with McDavid and Draisaitl playing
Thanks Patrick 😮

The Hole is Huge in the team Patrick
Draisatil and Hymann are bums
Trade them for some defence and a goalie

lol….didn’t you say you were “back” after the Islanders game?
Oilers suck lol 😂
Fire Holland

Jim Mora PLAYOFFS??? meme

Just fold the channel bro. Move the team.
Does Canada's Stanley Cup fantasy now fall on VAN or TOR?
As a Habs fan , I love Monty , so I hope Hughes don't trade him , Oilers should trade for Allen , he's a good goalie, if him and Skinner can rotate, Jake only falls off when he plays alots game in a stretch, and Oilers need a good Defenmen , what about Savvy , David Savard , he's almost ready to return from injury soon , Hughes might be willing to trade Savard, he's a brick wall at Defense, if Oilers need someone to block pucks , savvy is a great teammate and a leader too , just can't have Monty 😢
Winning the cup
Im starting to think having two superstars is a luxury we can no longer afford to keep. We have to many holes on our roster to over look this. Time for a change
Pickard let in one bad goal his positioning and rebound control was great! Looked better than skinner 💯💯

Looks like they should’ve let Skinner be goalie Jackass Ower and Corporate is ruining the team!
You're going to have the The Oiler's Pathetic 🤣
I thought Pickard played great, I’d like to see him play a few more games before any big trades happen.
I thought Pickard did well considering what he has in front of him. I say give him more time. Dominik Hasek wouldn't do well either the way this group plays d.

Silver linings: McDavid is 🔥 again, and Pickard is decent. Bad news: you all know.
it's the Universe laughing at the Oilers…
"cup or bust!!"
"Stanley cup contenders!"
"the best in the West"
When you assume how your season is going to go before it even starts..you're in big trouble. It's a lesson people have been learning for a millenia …like the old saying goes "if you want to make God laugh…make a plan"
I’m really pleased I stayed up until 3am to watch the game 😂 3 hours sleep now off to work and not feeling the happiest this morning.
Have to get McLeod off the PK he’s the one guy that always leaves is position and cost us goals.
5 different coaches with this core it’s no longer coaching it’s the core that needs to change, you cannot change chicken shit into chicken salad.
Players that are USELESS:
THE ENTIRE TEAM
I thought Picard played well. One goal he’d like to have back otherwise too much traffic in tight and some bad bounces resulting.
trade McDavid for Saros and Roman Josi
Bouchard and nurse lost this one, need some toughness holy hell
Your vids are a calming experience that bring me back down to earth after these losses I get so irrationally frustrated about lol. Love the channel, keep it up!
