Tough game . Disappointing result. Zach needs McDAVID. leon draisaitl Misses McDAVID . He draws attention from the opposing team and opens up scoring chances for his teammates. leon draisaitl Has not been able to handle the game alone. He hasn’t been the same since he got hurt in the playoffs last year against the GOLDEN KNIGHTS. You can tell me he’s fine. He isn’t the same. Kane is awful. RNH is a no show. We need McDAVID NOW so he’s in game shape for the playoffs. Forget the division. We lost our chances of that in NOVEMBER. Rick tochkett was a tough hard nosed player and he’s brought that style to the CANUCKS. Kris KNOBLAUCH PULLED STU TOO SOON … needs to show fire 🔥 on the bench and not be MR.,SOFTIE THE HEAD COACH
Sloppy turnovers…Defence was off…Bouchard was horribly terrible…Please let Conor recover well for heading into playoff battles, Drai, Hyman, Bouch and RNH do rely on 97 a lot for plays.
To sum up a quote from McDAVID IN AN ARTICLE:.The Oilers captain did skate on Friday, the first time he has skated since last Saturday's 4-2 win in Calgary when the injury appeared to happen. "I feel good. I feel good," McDavid said after Edmonton's morning skate on Saturday. "Probably won't go tonight, but I feel good. "I never want to miss games, I really don't. It's frustrating. At the end of the day we're after bigger things here. Everyone being healthy is priority No. 1.… SPOKEN LIKE A TRUE CAPTAIN AND CLASS ACT. In reality he could have played tonight.,he needs game shape.,it’s not just the playoffs-it’s getting him in game conditioning so he can be ready for the playoffs. 100+ assists aside MCDAVID IS THE KEY TO THE OILERS SUCCESS REGULAR SEASON AND PLAYOFFS. Winning the division matters …just ask the GOLDEN KNIGHTS LAST YEAR. The oilers are not the same without MCDAVID in the lineup
D was horrible. Kane was horrible. Leon DRAISAITL DISAPPEARED and let’s face it whether you feel Mcdavid needed so much extra rest…,LEON HAS NOT BEEN HIMSELF FOR QUITE A WHILE-I would go back to the playoffs game against the VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS when he was slashed on the arm and hand. He’s never been the same. Also he misses Mcdavid on the ice as does ZACH HYMAN cause RNH isn’t cutting it …
No offence to all the Oilers fans and Draisaitl lovers but it has been clear that this guy really relies on connor or PP for his production. He hasnt shown that he could consistently carry his own line, the last time he did this adequately was when he played with nuge and yamo few years ago… i think its best we move on from him this summer for a solid package that helps this team long term
Terrible effort all around. We are not physical whatsoever and get pushed around. Please think about trading Bouchard this summer. If we sign him to a long term deal, it will be just as bad as Nurse’s contract. How many turnovers can he have in one season? He’s so bad.
I think the Oilers played a hard game without Mcdavid but came up short once again against a goalie that decides, "Not tonight Oilers!" The Oilers are pulling it together and leaving it all on the ice. Mark my words, this playoffs will surprise the naysayers!
Honestly just wasn't at Vancouver's level this season. Next season will be better against them. Now just to focus on SJ, ARI.and COL these next few games before the post season
Recap of another important loss in the game: Corey Perry "great game" 🤪only (-3) with 3 goals allowed by the Oilers, Leon Draisaitl (-1) with a 44,4% FO% in this game, he lost all important faceoffs and not able to handle the puck well when played 5 on 4. Dry is definitely NOT McDavid.
Ryan Nugent-Hopkins (a solid ZERO!) with a FO% of 25% for the game, lost all important faceoffs, Bouchard (-1) as usual having problems handling the puck and defending in the Oilers zone, Ryan McLeod (-2 )😝 simply bad game, $9 million Nurse (- 1) is overpaid by 3 times🤑 and should take salary cut ASAP! and Knoblauch ( garlic ) still tells " good stories" to the media 😜

we pulled the goalie at the wrong time.

This team mirrors its coach soft af. Pathetic really
Bouchard puts in zero effort cant defend at all or seem to even want to try. Getting old too say the least

So many haters😂! On to the Playoffs! GOIL!

Let’s be honest. Preds dispatch the nucks in 6
Hope Connor gets healthy quick, this team goes nowhere without him. Clearly
Something about how Nucks play seems to really annoy/be very effective against the Oil.
Bouchard, is a defense man who knows offense more than defense. Nurse is defense man who is consistently average!

Oilers ain't winning the cup this year. We can't win on demand.
