If some team could get those two players somehow, they would be dominant and likely be a new dynasty if they had even a quasi-competent management group.

Tough loss, but Canada nearly scored a number of times. They outplayed them. In a single game luck comes into it.

Good lord!

At least Stu had a cool moustache and wore large-brimmed hats.

We should hire Paul Coffee to fix the defence. How does Nurse not step into him there? This is Pee Wee type stuff. Not sure Jarry is to blame but he probably needs to make another save or two.

On the previous goal Nurse was also just watching the goal unfold. An AHL player wouldn’t be a drop in quality.

I’m starting to think that to get solid goaltending, we might have to get a solid goaltender. It sounds crazy, but it might just work.

With this loss, Edmonton’s playoff chances fall to 67% They no longer hold a playoff spot by PTS%, have lost 4 consecutive games, and have allowed 22 goals in that same span of time Something needs to change and quick #LetsGoOilers

The Oilers haven’t been competitive all season. Fire everyone in management and start building towards next season. It’s astonishing for a team with McDavid and Draisaitl on discount contracts.

4 out of 5 of those are recent deals. Fire the mall!

And then when the puck gets closer to the net they all freeze and try to fool the other team by not moving.

The Oilers need to stop letting contracts determine playing time. At this point, you need to try sitting Nurse and if that doesn’t wake him up, pay him to sit at home until he waives his no trade clause.

Nurse has the A on his jersey because he has the highest salary on the defence. That shows you how messed up decision making is on this team.

The Trent Frederic signing is probably the worst contract in NHL history. No bottom 6 player had ever gotten 8 years before this deal, and the analytics + cap teams advised heavily against it. Bowman went rogue and it will ultimately hurt this franchise for the next decade

Remember back then, when we were all so optimistic and the future was so bright. It’s hard to even remember what that feels like from this hellish never-ending bleak world we now live in as Oilers fans.

This type of screw up should cost you your job.

Looks like Holland has done to the Kings what he did to the Oilers.
