Glad to finally see some passion during the game. This team is long gone, they made all the wrong changes in the off season and can’t compete with any team at the moment.
Oh I love the enthusiasm I'm a leafs fan I hear you. We suck as a team with a few good player no defense no consistent goalies soft in the corners glad to see your captain show some fight unlike Tavares the robot beta
Vancouver Canuck fans went through this last year….and the year before….and the year before that and …. It's fun to watch the turnaround. Oilers are a better team that they have shown so far this year. The defence is leaving the goalies high and dry. Tighten that up and we'll see more competitive games.
Ah, where to start in this dumpster fire…. The 10 minute game misconduct by Leon in the third to cap off the 24 MINUTES of PENALTY TIME the Oilers GIFTED Vancouver (and they scored on 3 of 6 PP's so the PK was bad too). Woody being ejected. Ekholm getting his first goal on the season on a PP (with Gagner and Kane so it was the 2PP. Look, someone needs to have a hand to throad discussion with the boys and slap the stupid out until they get it. Maybe the coaches need to carry paddles with the phrase "The Beatings Will Continue Until Morale Improves" or something (and use them liberally). They're playing like 5 year olds out there a lot of the time. One bright spot (ONE) was in faceoffs (other than Connor and Ryan). Take care all.
I don't want to see Woody go but if the lose the Sharks its game over for him. Kahkonen and Blackwood has a better save percentage than Skinner and Campbell and they have nobody in the Sharks organization. Goaltending is a major problem.

Ken Holland …… " I am leaving to spend more time with my Family " !!!!!!!! HURRY UP ! reason * $9.2 for a SLUG Darnell Nurse !!!!!!!!!!
Good lucking any team beating VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS
if oilers lose against the sharks someone is getting fired
No confidence waiting for something to go wrong …… Bruce there it is , that’s who’s your next coach
When Mc is running around throwing pick plays and dirty chippy game he is definitely off his game . To bad he is afraid to fight for himself
