The Oilers fell one game short of winning the Cup last season and may still be feeling the effects of that heartbreak. Edmonton is 0-3 and are just one loss from matching the worst start in franchise history. TSN Hockey analyst Martin Biron joins Domino’s That’s Hockey to discuss the Oilers’ season-opening struggles.

Oilers are a flaky team.
Where’s the panthers cup hangover lol
They barely beat the Canucks and their 3rd string goalie. Same ole same ole with the Oilers, you can't win with 2 players esp when they have an unspectacular night.
Oilers won the cup??
If excuses were Cup banners, the rafters at Rogers Place would be sagging to the floor!
Offence will pick up always does but skinner needs to get it together
Relax this team will get it together
They just appear lazy and unenthusiastic.
Mario Lemieux had a rule: NO Weddings during the off season during a cup window.
They’re still losing to Dallas in the playoffs this year and Robertson, Hintz, and Heiskanen are lifting Stanley.
De ja fkn vu!!!!!!
🗑️D and 🗑️ goaltending. Added slower forwards and no Cup for the Oilers.
Their defense beyond the first pairing and goaltending is terrible. An ancient Mike Smith had better save percentages than Skinner despite not playing behind Mattias Ekholm.
The thing we are forgetting is that we brought in 2 semi-elite wingers.
They need time to adjust to the system PLUS they are already expected to score goals.
I cut them 5 games of slack – Being Skinner and Arvidsson – Before their defensive play is cleaned up and they start generating more offence.
The Oilers need
A) More speed OR toughness/size in the bottom 6
B) A puck moving, right shot defence-man
C) A willingness to understand that we will have to grind out some extra wins this year until we address those 2 needs.
When the team defensive improves, Stuart Skinner’s numbers improve.
This will not be an easy road back to the playoffs.
Oilers won the cup?
😂🔥🇨🇦thankyou for calling it a Stanley cup hang over not a red flag ✔🇨🇦😁
✔🇨🇦😁
Goaltending is the best way to win 🇨🇦🇺🇸🌐😁
😂body cheques are back🇨🇦💰
So what was last year then, a scond round hangover?
They haven’t won a thing. How can it be hangover? Plays with no passion once again, too fancy on the pp. passing too much instead of just shoot if chance comes..
Omg it’s three games. Calm down. All your money is wrapped up in offense.. stop blaming goaltending and defense
haters gonna hate.
What cup?
How can they have a hang over ….the didn't win for f… sake …..these prima donna wanna be's believe McJesus walks on water …
Oh, I dunno, build a defense and sign an NHL goalie?
