Shit goalies, shit D, shit bottom 6, McDavid is clearly playing hurt

No idea but it’s sucks to live in Edmonton and be a fan. It’s very exhausting

Today’s Excuse For Oilers Losing…….
***Matinee Game!***
Oilers always lose matinees (not true, but let’s keep the saying going).
This segment of Today’s Excuse For Oilers Losing brought to you by the fine people at *Fuck Our Lives Inc.* and *Keep Doing The Same Thing And Hope Enterprises*

Goaltending is atrocious and offence not making up for it.

When you don’t do shit offseason, this is what happens. Missed a chance at Karlsson which would’ve helped the D

This is what happens when defence and goaltending are huge issues, but instead you load up on offence

I’m fine with the Oil sucking or winning, but would just like if McDrai stop being the leading scorers every season lol, sick of em winning.

No defensive structure, poor goaltending, and stars underperforming.
Hard to do much when nearly 40% of your cap is tied up with 3 players. Over 2/3’s on 8 guys. If any of them under perform you don’t have any wiggle room for improvements.

I’m amazed the head coach still has a job they are usually the first to go

McDavid is not resigning in The Land of Oiler Rig Workers

Ken Holland has zero clue how to assemble a team in the salary cap era. He drafts for shit and overpays for vets way too often.

Not sure but as a Leafs fan I gotta say, thank you for taking Campbell from us 🙏🏻

Hypothetically, If you were to trade McDavid for goaltending + defense what would that package deal look like? Sorokin + Dobson + Pelech? Too much? Too little?

They will tank

The oilers lousy start seems almost too obvious in hindsight (as all things do)
Jack Campbells 2022-2023 season stats: 36 gp, .888 sv%, 3.41 GAA
Stuart Skinner 2022-2023 season stats: 50gp, .913sv% , 2.75GSS

So the goalies were never great. Well, maybe that doesn’t matter when Mcjesus and Leon combine for 281pts with an extra 104 from RNH.
But this season they aren’t winning games by themselves. The best one is hurt, and the oilers are losing games.
You can’t be so fucking back without it being so over at some point

Can we do this meme for the Wild too? They are every bit as terrible as the Oilers.

If they want to fix anything they need to fire Holland immediately. Start there. Giving Campbell 5 million a year was stupid from the get go, his trades are awful, his signings are worse.

Legit?: if they’re not in playoff spot at deadline, entertain moving Draisital if can link Nurse with?

There is always next year. And they should get a good draft pick.

Edmonton in the basement, Canucks & Detroit near the top. All I can think of is that song from “Hunchback of Notre Dame” –
