    Stars looked soooo good last night. Again, scoring came from almost everywhere.

  2. CurlingTrousers

    Oilers defence is worse than its goalies. This team is doing nothing in the playoffs.

  3. toxicvegeta08

    For a while it seemed the pilers solved their defensive issues while still having an elite offense.

  4. Wooden_Proposal_1615

    I love this for them. CUP OR BUST!!!!

  5. Nurse has to be the worst most overpaid defenceman in the league.

  6. Any team can have bad nights. Yeah, the Oilers defence did not help anything last night. However, what bothers me is that this team has ZERO pushback, unless it is done by McDavid and Draisaitl.

    I have never seen a team so mired in mediocrity.

    I keep thinking about this:

    Literally, from November 28, 2017 to whenever that article was posted (IIRC, it was in 2021), the Oilers had a 0-26-2 record when McDavid & Draisaitl had been held pointless.

    Absolutely pathetic.

    Stopped watching after 2nd. Playoffs are gonna be disappointing in oil country.

    I’m beginning to think this highlight clip is sarcastic

    It’s the Stars’ jerseys. Very assaulting on the eyes.

    Oilers fan and gotta say this is well deserved. Two horrible giveaways by Leon, multiple bad reads by Nurse and other d-men. This is what we get for going after forward depth instead of defensemen and/or a goalie.

    Kane, are you ever going to score again?

    Nuge, are you ever going to score again?

    Etc.?

  12. Drnedsnickers2

    The Oilers will address defence and goaltending….some other decade….

    Everybody is focused on Edmonton, but what about Dallas? They have got to be the most overlooked team in the league. I never see anybody talk about them despite them being pretty consistently good. They are my darkhorse to win the cup this year.

  14. AffectionateLaugh738

    We are never winning a cup with Nurse contract

  15. Equal-Abroad-9039

    Love the lopsided-4-man-left-side formation. Textbook

  16. homechefshivers

    “We just got pumped 5 goose for the 24th loss of the campaign and you say good fucking team over there?”

  17. HyperCatz

    Please let them play like this in the playoffs

    One off night on defense and everyone is acting like it’s the end of the world (for oilers fans). They’ve been way better defensively this year and tonight there was definitely lapses, every team has off nights defensively. Just gotta learn from it and move on lol.

    Oilers are a top notch team and can be dangerous as hell. I really think this could be their year if it wasn’t for the defense just collapsing sometimes

  20. jgbluejay

    I still had TNT on from the Rangers game and thought my tv was fucked with the amount of times I heard that horn

  21. Anishinabeg

    Gee, it’s amazing what happens when you’re paying over $9M for a Tyler Myers clone and $5M for an AHL goalie.

    Imagine the defensemen Edmonton could have with that $14M.

  22. cdcformatc

    i give Nurse a lot of shit for sucking but Ceci sucks as well

  23. Clean_n_Press

    After the Canucks debacle against Vegas, I’m just going to keep my mouth shut on this one. Bad games happen.

  24. ILikeLiftingMachines

    What did that awful team do to that poor goalie? 🙁

  25. NacchoTheThird

    Expected goals values of each goal per moneypuck

    * 0.2
    * 0.12
    * 0.05
    * 0.14
    * 0.04

    Some will blame goaltending for this (which would be fair if we’re looking at the third one but still)

  26. Oilers defense as a whole is suspect. They have one reliable pair

  27. Man I wish we could face Edmonton in the first round.

    Instead we’ll probably get the boring as hell 1-3-1 kings.

    I’ll be in a freaking coma by the end of the first game.
