Nobody giving Helleybuck, Top 3 goalie in the league any credit. Funny.
Oilers lost Desharnais, Ceci and Broberg on defense, that's half their defense used in the playoffs. And for some reason they didn't feel like replacing them. Yes the offense sucked too but we know that won't be a problem later on. They also lost Mcleod, Holloway and Foegele. You know what they have in common? Speed. Having Perry and Ryan together, who can't skate is brutal.
Also I think Bowman put a curse on this team with his bad Karma
6 goals were scored, and it was a history making night for Connor in Edmonton. What more do Oiler fans want.
Oh wait it was Kyle Connor making history, nevermind 😂
I knew skinners pads were new
I was at the game last night. The crowd was electric, then the turnover right out of the gate and it was dead silence for the rest of the night. Almost impressed at how miserably the Oilers played
Not worried, Stuart Skinner will get going after game 3
Oiler fan and it was rough… Seeing the stands clearing out early would have been hard for the team to watch too, but after how last season went? There was definitely a lot of hype for the start of this season and the guys are definitely very rough. For sure they took time away from the rink as McDavid got married as a prime example (and happy for Mr and Mrs McDavid!) so I'm not worried over this start. Anyways, a 6 goal diff is smaller than a 7 goal diff… So it's technically still a better start than last year? Lol
Jets were definitely on fire on all lines, like, wow, they carpet bombed us. Well played fellas!
Fire the coach that will fix it 😅😂
Oilers for the Cup 20NEVER!!!
I love the first 3 goals coming from the bottom 6. Kupari breaking out would be incredible
It’s one game
Oilers defense is atrocious. Let this sink in…Nurse, Emberson, Kulak, Dermott. That's 2/3 of their starting defense right there and 3 of those 4 are fringe NHL/AHL players who don't make probably 30 other teams in the league or are that 7th dman that is a healthy scratch for half the season. Then you have Nurse who is a #4 dman but paid like a #1. All of the sudden Ceci, Broberg, Desharnauis don't seem so bad. Instead of addressing that big obvious issue what did they do, they spent money on Corey Perry, brought in two aging wingers one of which can't stay healthy. And then filled in the defense with those fringe NHL/AHL players I just mentioned.
Hey now buddy
I hope Skinner still has that sports psychologist in retainer. What a rough start to the season.
Gonna be nice seeing mcdavid LEAVE Edmonton first offer.
I wasn't proud of the way Vancouver opened it up, and my only solace was to see the score of Oilers v Jets
I don't feel like it was as much of a blowout as the score indicated. The oil dictated the play through most of the game. It was just that when the Jets got the puck they setup some pretty tic-tac-toe goals. As the season goes on a lot of the passes that they connected on are a lot harder to find, and the team that controls the game, like the Oilers did, end up winning. So while nobody in Winnipeg is dissapointed with a 6-0 win, they need to work on face-offs, so that they don't get out shot every night.
Hockey isn't basketball. Two players aren't going to win you a championship.
As a Jets & Rangers fan; ill admit it was a GREAT night
Disappointed in the outcome but I think the Oilers will be ok.
as an oilers fan who never doubted we would make the playoffs last year i think it is far from panic time. always going to be due for some big losses each year, just sucks for it to be game 1
