Calgary is just pressuring the f*** out of this team and they haven't been able to adapt all night.

Was the same story last game and will probably be the same story on Saturday.

Last game and this game we played a well rested Flames team and we were off a 3 in 4 with travel.

Will be a different story Saturday.

meh, throw out the tape, who cares. I don't evaluate any team on how they play Calgary Flames. nobody should really.

What we're seeing here tonight is fatigue, and one team having to have the result. Its the way it goes late in a season. chalk it up.
If how a team plays against Calgary is the measuring stick Ottawa is phenomenal

Meh. Neither team has been all that good. The Oilers were simply just worse. Boys are too tired. Rest up and smash them to smithereens next game.

They’re a professional hockey team that’s had 2 consecutive long breaks.

Being tired is unacceptable.

Need Herb Brooks to coach this team. Bag skate them til 3 am after his game.

I can see why games like this make people question if Draisaitl is even an elite player. They certainly lend some degree of credence to the McCoattails argument.

Being tired is no excuse. The Oilers just had a ton of time off. In fact, the Leafs just played two games in a row and Matthews and Marner played great and collected points in both of them. Matthews would have 5 goals if he were in Draisaitl's position tonight.

Celeste must've been very needy when they got home late last night.

Member when the Oilers won against the Flames and didn’t make the playoffs?
I remember all the garbage time wins down the stretch the Oilers had. Buffalo is doing it right now too.

As the season winds down, playoff teams often slow down and don't give it their all to save themselves for playoffs.

Teams close to a spot push hard.

Lotto teams just have fun and try and get some confidence for the next season.
