  1. i just want this season to be done with as a Oilers fan. I can’t take anymore losing. It’s bad i lived through the decade of darkness and now this.

  2. As a big oiler fan if they can’t do anything without a singular player, they will never even come close to touching a cup if that’s what’s underlying with the team.

  3. Oilers in deep deep trouble. I’ve said all along you can’t win a cup with one or two players, I don’t care how good they are. You need 4 solid lines, great defense and goal tending. The Oilers have none of those things.

  4. Again as said before Just tough news. Hopefully he will be back soon and healthy in top form again and dominating like he did last year. It’s now up to the rest of the team to pick it up in his absence. I think the Oilers were saying 1-2 weeks precautionary measures. Play it safe. McDavid just wasn’t himself from the beginning. He put too much pressure on himself and his teammates with Cup or Bust. The new system wasn’t working either. If you look at the rest of the teams. Matthews of Toronto was off to an incredible start and now Ho hum. Jack Hughes is playing great as are the Devils but everything in this league has been crazy. Up and down with a lot of unexpected teams doing well. Bedard was expected to dominate yet is off to a slow start given all the hype surrounding him and expectations. The only club dominating is Gary Buttman’s children Vegas Golden McNuggets or Nuts. 😂. I think the Heritage Classic meant a lot to him (McDavid) but his health is more important now. He will be back in top form dominating again.

  5. They have a really hard time playing a FULL 60 minute game every single night, without 97 in the lineup I don’t think potential lines are really gonna matter. Woody is the blender King, allowing zero chemistry since day one. Get well soon Captain, I don’t know where this team will be in 2 weeks.

  6. He's faking his injury because the Oilers keep losing and he doesn't want to look bad.

    He's been an Oiler for 9 years and the team can't get anything going for him. 4 different coaches and 2 different GM's after McDavid became an Oiler. Will he sign an extension with the Oilers?
