Tyler still making excuses for stu after an 875 round and even before that an 890 after defending him for a month what a shock
Oh well. Enjoy your summer everyone. We lost to Gary Bettmans baby. Hard to beat that type of monster.
I am old school, one team has a successful season, everyone else came up short. If your team is happy losing then you should enjoy your participation trophy case. I was surprised that Campbell didn't start. Need to play better 5v5. Good luck next season.
As a Vegas fan I give the Oilers props. They played us hard. The third period tonight they attacked the Vegas net relentlessly. Hill made incredible saves to keep the Oilers from tying the game.
The refs were off their f**** rocker today absolute joke
Sometime next season… Pietrangelo will get a receipt from the Oilers for what he did to Leon… just like the way Mikey Anderson eventual got got too.
Just a guess Just a thought I think last game They should have started Soup he has well over 9 average against Vegas
even if they called the high stick they would of reviewed it because it was a double then it would of been called back because the fallow through, stop crying about and for calls
Why was Marchessault standing in front of the net all by himself for his first two goals. Skinner wasn't good enough. Why didn't Woodcroft play Campbell? A $5-million back-up! Yamo was simply too small, he lost too many battles.
Moved to LA 13 years ago, boys. And I'll tell you, appreciate the Elks and CFL.
skinner is G-A-R-B-A-G-E i cant believe he was still playing! woodcroft should be fired for this 👌💯‼️
You got to think now if the big 2 will resign in edm. This was their chance with colorado out. Big big missed opportunity
Too many passengers
DR10= the goat, most consistent bottom 6 on the team he’s a keeper
Foegle= pitbull on the puck
Nuge= no show, too weak for playoffs
Hyman= puck protect no finish, how about wrapping the puck once in a while?
Evan Bouchard= shooting on purpose into shin guards
Evander= physicality dissipated. Not enough rips on net
Yamamoto= honey badger with no finish
Kostin= skating with cement in his boots
Janmark= invisible
McLeod= all speed, no IQ
Oilers never had a shot against VGK
They NEEDED to play Campbell since the second pull in the playoffs but woody kept going for stu for some odd reason
You have more confidence cuz they lost because Colorado won the Cup the next year after getting bounced by Vegas?… Strange optics dude

The above stats show a lot. Oilers peppered Hill and he held pretty firm. They more than doubled the hits, the faceoffs were the same, only one PP for the Oilers (killed) and 2 for Vegas (also killed). Oilers had nearly double the number of giveaways, same number of takeaways and exactly half the blocked shots. Not nearly enough blocks.

Sixth Game. Do or Die for the Oilers. They died. Goaltending through the middle 20 of the game was bad with Stu letting in 3 (all by Marchessault so he got a hattie). Campbell came in on relief for the final 20 and, while he only faced 4 shots, he took care of all of them. The Oilers weren't blocking nearly enough shots allowing for the more advanced stats. Ignorning that Hill had a great game backstopping the VGK. When the boys got chances he took care of them. I was unable to watch this game so just going off of stats and whatever I could see by replays.
First, this wasn't a disaster. The Oilers made it to the 2nd round (or further) 2 years in a row. We faced great teams getting there. Time to tweak and adjust. Bouchard is legit. Skinner if okay too but you can't play him night in night out. He's not that type of goalie. He's a tandem. He had many good to great games. He had some stinkers too. It happens, maybe cutting him some slack in his first full year in the NHL might be in order.
Oilers fans, this is the first year in the window. The window remains open. An adjustment here, a tweak here, it will be fine. Have faith. Take care all.
Woodcroft lost this series 🤦🏾♂️
Vegas is a better team.
7.6 million for goalies next season…
Haha I’m so optimistic! 31 teams loose out on the cup and Edmonton fell into the vast majority. Excited to see fired up Connor, 200p 82g ss season upcoming
Skinner isnt at fault Woodcroft is
You guys need goaltending. Hands down that stood out even against my Kings. Skinner looked shaky numerous times. I guess you could stick with the kid and hope
The oilers We’re one of the best teams of the 23 season.
GG Oilers and OilersNation! Y’all are scary good on the PP and just need more experience. I thought there was gonna be a game 7 for sure. See you next year for sure! ❤❤❤❤❤
