Oilers have always had issues with defensive structured teams. Preds, Wild, as examples. Oh like the teams that win the Stanley Cup. It's a huge problem that we can't score 5 vs 5 against teams that can defend whether people want to admit it or not. That is correct

If you asked me before season who were oilers main rivals in West, I’d have said vegas Avs and stars (no surprises there). It’s a ridiculously small sample size but Vegas is 3-0 gf12 ga3 , Avs 2-0 gf 7 ga3, Dallas 1-0 gf2 ga1. This doesn’t say much other than they were all readyto start the season and all sport a sub 2gaa. Contenders contend, pretenders?? We’ll see what we look like after 10 games, but we also have a pretty soft first 10 game schedule? 20 games is usually the benchmark or American thanksgiving? My guess is those 3 will be padding their positions while we’ll be still scrambling to be in top 6 (hopefully)

It been two games and the chicken Littles are going over board. Let go oilers,if you have not nice things to say go to the hf boards. If you only want rainbows and lollipops and drink koolaid maybe you should go to the official oiler website? Folks here give praise when praise is due and throw bricks when team deserves them. I’m pretty sure I’ve been an oiler fan since before you were born and so are many others on here. Calling the team out for being Mangiapane doesn’t make any of us less fans, sorry you don’t see that🤷♂️ It's two games man like calm down.

Oh the drama. The Oilers have not won a single game this season. Both goaltenders are winless and each have a 75% save percentage. Only 3 players from the entire roster have scored a goal.
On the other hand, the GA has been cut in half each game while the goals for has tripled. I don't mind that trend actually.

Nice POV, if next game we're down to 2GAA then we can start talking of change in direction . My disappointment stems not from results, but our stars saying they're commited to D and bringing the GAA down and the fact they arrived in camp early, raring to go and actually seemed to be carry this out in pre-season? Then reg season arrives and its groundhog day? It is only 2 games and maybe new systems are taking time to get comfortable? Hopefully, they will find this "commitment" to D soon, because the nucks wont be anywhere near our stiffest comp by time the real season starts

The "drama" is a jab at the media and those blowing things out of proportion. I kinda don't blame the Oilers for not taking the Nuks seriously because I don't either. It pisses me off a little that the Oilers didn't curb stomp the knuckleheads but I am over it already. It might just take a little bit for the team to gel. Part of me is still annoyed that the roster wasn't set sooner instead of icing a bunch of guys that were never going to make the team. I get taking a look at a few guys but the actual roster should have had a few games. Whatever, they will find their game.

6pm start time today, yay! I haven't heard anything about who's in goal but I'd go back to Jack personally. Sounds like Woody has the blender out with Foegele on the 2nd line, Brown down to the 3rd line, and McDrai re-united along with Kane on the top line. That was practice anyway so we'll see. Time to turn this train around and get on track with this road trip. GOG!!
