The team went back to giving up prime areas of ice...defence backing in all night long.
Talent is one thing but this team is dumb dumb dumb and not willing to commit to what it takes to win.

I am not singling him out but Draisaitl is an excellent player offensively. Defensively he is the poster boy for whats wrong with this team.

8th place St. Louis needs to win those 2 games in hand so the Oilers can finally pull the plug on this season.

Is anyone honestly watching the last 5 games? I just check the scores
I do the same...watch maybe the first 10 min...then I've had enough and check the app or HF occasionally for the rest.

Lowest IQ team in the NHL by a large margin.

I quit. Can't let this team keep bringing me down. Stopped following the oilers and all oiler related media/accounts on twitter/instagram/facebook and now i'll be starting a long break from any hockey forums.

It was great discussing this garbage team with most of you over these last 10+ years. I hope things turn around, and those of you still putting up with it get rewarded greatly for your patience, but I can't do it anymore.

The only thing more laughable than the NHL's officiating, is the oilers.

See you all around!

Ah friggen leafs win to what a sht saturday night. F me time to get drunk

It would be awesome if we could all just flip a switch and become fans of a decent team. Being so invested in, and caring so much about a franchise that drains us of our joy and positivity has surely taken years off of all of our lifespans.

we don't think the game at the same speed that other teams do. The drai gaff, the manning gaff, I see other teams make those mistakes too. when we do it, we don't have the skill to recover. When we get a similar opportunity, we again don't have the skill to capitalize.
This is goes on way more than individual gaffes though. Our Dmen have no gap control or over pursue or fail to make simple short passes. I hate to put this on the Dmen solely but our defense does so many bad things lately. Wasn't Trent Yawney specifically brought in to help with this, like wtf!!!

I truly hope you are successful at quitting. It's not easy.
I'm going to try Oilers Anonmyous.
