[antiqueslivers]

even the song for the home team's goal sounds sarcastic tonight. Poor oilers man.

Go Go Jack hughes?

 

[perronist]

i can't believe i'm feeling sorry for the oilers after all the shit some of their fans talked after their miracle season, but this is just sad to watch

 

[AussieCapsFan]

Lol. I can't say much cause my team is just as low in the standings. BUT seriously... at what point does McDavid drop the humble persona and speak out for more talent or get out of EDM? Obviously easier said than done and he'd receive a lot of criticism... but man I can't help but feel really bad for the guy and the city of Edmonton.

How can he get out though? Demand a trade? That's a hell of a cap hit for another team to take - I'm sure they can get Edmonton to eat some of it (wait it's Chia, maybe all of it baha). But what do you give back to Edmonton for him?
It would end up being a colossal trade.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Are the Oilers salvageable?

Of course. RNH and Klefbom are still only 25. Draisaitl 23. McDavid 22. Bouchard is coming. If they don't stupidly trade their pick, they should get another top 10 pick.

They need to fire Chiarelli ASAP before he damages things more.

Yeah I remember they were pretty arrogant and already planning the Stanley Cup parade - oof

Then again they aren't the only fan base on here who can be super annoying

 

[EpochLink]

Chia needs to be canned ASAP.
Knowing the Oilers brass, they’ll promote another old timer to be their GM like Coffey

 

[koyvoo]

I don’t believe he would demand a trade. Not at this point, if ever.

It’s not really in his personality. I truly believe that this point he still wants to be a part of the solution in Edmonton and win there. Obviously, it’s been frustrating to say the least.

I’m sure that the thoughts of what things could be like had that lottery have yielded a different result does his cross his mind from time to time all the same.

 

[Matty Sundin]

They need to lose for a change. Connor carrying that team to squeek in and lose in 4 or 5 games just buys Chia more time

 

[DownGoesMcDavid]

Darnell Nurse is a tank commander!

What happened to this guy ?? He must not have been taught the IQ and thinking part of hockey as he was probably always just bigger and faster than everyone.

But now he looks like an ECHL player.

 

[DownGoesMcDavid]

What an embarrassing effort by the Oilers. I feel bad for people who still go to these Oil games.. they arent cheap either just because the team os bad.

Oilers picked the wrong game.to stink up the barn, this game is on national tv.

 

[koyvoo]

Dang dogg!

The oilers showing some fight!

 

[missionAvs]

Great puck movement there from McJesus.

 

[fahad203]

How are the Canes so bad?
They have good young core of players on offense and their D seems pretty good

Yeah that's essentially what I meant by "easier said than done". It's all just unfortunate, really. I really wish (we almost all do) that I could see him on another team.

 

[missionAvs]

Wtf kind of play was that by the Oilers while having the net empty?

 

[Super Hans]

Nurse getting completely manhandled by Aho there

Give him a break. Nurse is an undersized offensive defender that got outmuscled by perennial power forward, Sebastian Aho.

 

[BelovedIsles]

The Oil D structure has lost itself after the first 10 under Hitch.

Congrats to Nino. Forget the goals, his aggressive forecheck fits Car like a glove.

 

[Rubi]

Oilers have a chance to redeem themselves against the Red Wings on Tuesday night.

Yes, a win vs the wings will erase the pain of the last decade without question.

Two teams in tank mode

[JPeeper]

Can the league step in and demand the Oilers trade McDavid to a team that isn't an incompetent joke to the sporting world?


Slightly serious. This is just disgusting watching the worlds best player play for such a dumpster fire of an organization.
