Frist of all its the same problem the team been dealing with for many years now, defence and goalies. Plain and simple. And get rid of the dam GM hes destroying this team.
Frist this team has the same problem for many years now, the goalies and defence are very much an issue, this team will no where until you fire the GM hes done nothing but destroyed the Oilers.
D core is bad and forward depth. They allow far to many good chances against them and no goalie is going to make those saves and they don't generate enough going the other way when Mc D and Drai aren't on the ice.
Obviously its the implementation of Woodcroft's new 5v5 box zone defense system, its completely stiffled the team and it was very predictable. He should be fired on stupidity alone.
A few factors for the slow start: 1. Power play not clicking at even close to same rate as last year 2. Not as many goals off the rush (last year 2nd in league vs. around 28th this year so far) 3. A consistently, effective team defensive system not yet set 4. Injuries (Ekholm not having enough reps; Kane still trying to come back from the skate laceration) 5. Edmonton media causing needless pressure cooker atmosphere (for God's sake it has only been 5 games!!)
The Oilers biggest problem is the cacophony of media telling them everything is wrong with them Fucking every single October, everyone forgets that the regular season is 82 games
After what McDavid said about him enjoying the lgbtq nights in the NHL , my answer is BOYCOTT THE OILERS . go woke go broke. Maybe this is why the Oilers are so pathetic. Sissies dont win in a real mens game.
EVERYBODY, I believe, was expected by management, to improve their game,. After all, very little roster moves were made. I think expectations remain for EVERYBODY to up their game. Including the injury call ups.

Pounder ? Lol
We got rid of Kostin
Thats the problem
Depth. And utilizing it. Listen when 97 and 29 are on the ice you know what to expect. Gotta roll lines and let hockey happen.
What do McDavid and Draisaitl have in common with Beavis and Butt-Heat? It doesn't matter how much they score they're still losers.
Kane's not 'cranky', STOP it with the moronic gossip mongering.

I think the biggest problem with the oilers might actually be the media. Also time to get rid of shwartz.

Kane and whatever goalie they have. Trade them or no cup! PERIOD!
Bring up Tyler Parks he's amazing never got an opportunity

Oilers will not make the Play-offs
they have 8 players that do not shoot the Puck, 4th line players, 8 4th line players

McDavid isn't injured, he's just embarrassed.

Ok they're playing terrible but all you come with as a bad play by Kane is he took a shot at the net?? Come on, you can do better!
