That is bad call lol.

That is bad call lol.

Not at all. Hyman hit the goalies blocker. Bouchard's shot went blocker side and would've been stopped if not for the contact.

Oilers look so bad, like way worse than us

I will be surprised if they make the playoffs. They don't have the supporting cast compared to last year

I can't stand the Oilers but Hyman barely touched the goalie. If that was the Canucks I would be pissed.

Annual Edmonton coaching change and they bring in Quenneville

At this point I want maximum chaos

 

[Brock Boeser Laser Show]

Oilers melting down. Bunch of crying mcdavid's.

 

[canucksfan]

Oilers have 3 goals in ten periods. They have given up 17.

Coach Q as head coach. Toews and Keith as assistant coaches.

 

[HairyKneel]

We’ve had that discussion here before but Michkov Jagr’d his way to Philadelphia. The strange thing is no one knows why he wanted Philly. Not even Briere.

Not to mention was Tocchet willing to come in and just piss the sheets? Why would Allvin or Rutherford want to do that? 2023 wasn't 2016-19. Four lost seasons.

You're supposed to say " but I'm sure they'll turn it around and make the playoffs " because reasons

Gotta get all the douchebags on the team

October 20, 2024 : "The Edmonton Oilers have signed Michael McLeod, Carter Hart, Alex Formenton, Dillon Dube and Cal Foote amidst losing streak."

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Least the Oilers are losing again.

Michkov on the board for 2.

Flames go to 4-0-0 as a young scrappy team that was labelled for a top-5 pick this season. They have guys going all out trying to block shots while up 3-1. Like, I doubt that they keep up this pace, but they are looking a lot stronger than everyone was willing to give them credit for.

Dustin Wolf was incredible.

But they badly need a number 1 franchise center to build around. Being in the mushy middle isn't going to do them any good.

Oilers coulda had 3-4 goals this period

They came on this period but the Flyers look totally spent right now.

 

[Canucks LB]

Michkov jumping into protect his teammate is f***ing awesome as a rookie

 

[sandwichbird2023]

Happy for Michkov getting his first goal, but it looks a lot like the Eyssimont disallowed goal earlier today. One was called back and the other not? Seems strange to me.

Also strange how much they are struggling on the PP. I'm not super shocked at their records or the goals against, but that PP looks unstoppable the last few seasons, and with the same personnel returning, I'm surprised they are as bad as this so far this season.

 

[Bgav]

Oilers are rough defensively god damn lol

 

[Quinning]

The way Philly fans feel about Michkov right now parallels the way we felt about #40 in his rookie reason. I miss those days.

But then I remember we had Benning.

That's the thing, the flyers, flames, and hawks didn't play very good games either, tough start could very well get tougher still .

They'll inevitably crash but it's nice to see Huberdeau looking like himself again. Now if they could just trade us Andersson.

Canucks definitely prioritized getting players to understand the coaching staff, system, and expectations over a couple of draft positions.

 

[Johnny Canucker]

Ugh Coilers tie it late. You just know they are getting 2 points out of this game. Gross.

Oilers seriously are the biggest cucks in the league. They have 1 line. They start the year trying to balance this and that but in the end they just throw McDrai out there together with Hyman / Bouchard and Ekholm and play them every second shift.
