If this team had even mediocre management they're probably in the middle of a mini-dynasty right now, instead we keep trotting out afterthought GMs like they know the game.

I don’t understand how everyone’s (excluding mcdrai) game can fall off a cliff at the same time. Brutal stretch of crap games.

and again...
Oilers record against good teams is pretty abysmal and unfortunately good teams are what they'll be playing in the playoffs.

The thing is that they were terrible the 7-8 or so games before the break so this is now a very long "slump". Nobody outside of Draisaitl, including McDavid relative to his normal level, has pissed a drop of anything most of the season, some of the worst goaltending in the league and now the defense is cratering. Think about it? Who has had a good season relative to their norms this season? Drai and Nurse? Kulak for a while. Perry too for a while. That's it, that's all.
Im scared that, since our roster is older, they’re running out of steam because of the long nature of the season

They've been listing for a while. Now that McDavid isn't McDavid the entire team has cratered. You can't win games with only one guy producing.

Bouchard was skating towards and cutting off his man like he should.
Skinner was reacting late and doing a slow post to post skate push on what would be an easy stop for almost any other goaltender in the league.

The good news is that despite the Blues having a touchdown, neither Broberg nor Holloway has scored yet.

Ah shit, here we go again.
Or they could? There is still A LOT of hockey to be played, both tonight and this year.
There is absolutely no reason to give up over a few weeks of crap hockey. I remember when we use to HOPE to be in the conversation for the playoffs by now. Give it some perspective dude.
@CycloneSweep @CupofOil this applies to you guys too.
Lack of trust in the goaltending having guys being in their head too much. We have seen it happen to this team a ton. When they trust their goalies they play looser and better hockey.

We usually see this when the team has given up on the coach. Maybe they've given up on the goalie? Or maybe after a year and whatever they've given up on Knob? That or they've all been kicking the flu and covid around back and forth? it just doesn't make sense.

Well pretty sure that one guy is getting passed to by the guy not producing. I’m talking about Nuge, Hyman, etc etc etc. Where is the supporting cast.

That's a good iso on Bouchard and walk through an embarrassing low effort go ahead goal. Lazy, slow play by goaltender and defender equals horrible goal to open the second period after keeping their head largely above water in period one.
That’s fair but I think he’s also relying on his goalie to make a save. It’s a f***ing wraparound
Very casually skating towards. Which is why he missed the easy play defending him.
