Dave Tippett did a terrible job this round. Goaltending didn't play well. Defense was shit. Forwards existed.

Holland has a lot of work this summer to completely rebuild the teams defense and find a good goaltender.

I would not be surprised if this was the last Oilers game for a long time. The world is going to utter shit; we weren't afforded the opportunity to be distracted by our hockey team.

4th in the conference, fail to make the playoffs.

Penguins and Oilers get eliminated by two teams who probably had to win out to make the playoffs if it wasn't for COVID.

This organization continues to be absolutely f***ing useless.

Crawford MVP of that series.

Knew this relaunch was going to be a clown show once they set the match-ups. We weren't winning a series though.

Fingers crossed for Lafreniere, but I'll be content with the bump in the draft.

That's as Oilers as it gets.

Don't bring the full energy until they are down by 1 late, coach makes the wrong decision not putting the best line in hockey together until it was too late and of course that line goes bezerk with scoring chances instantly, the team misses a gazillion golden opportunities wide open nets etc. then commit an unbelievably dumb penalty that I don't think has ever happened in the last couple of minutes of a playoff game with the goalie pulled then Nurse misses the net on another golden opportunity at the buzzer. The only thing that would make this vintage Oilers is winning Lafraniere.

Honestly though, not the worst outcome in the world. They bump up 6 spots in the draft and have a 12.5% chance of Lafraniere. I'd rather them still be in the playoffs but what can ya do.

Holland better fix our god damn blue line. We need defensemen who can actually shoot the puck on net, not dump it into the corner OVER AND OVER AND OVER. And f***ing play A.A, you paid 2 2nds for him and you rather play him 8 minutes a night. Idiots

Tippett lost this series.

Finally reunites lines at the end of the third period. f*** off.
I actually like Tippett but wtf was he thinking? Stick with what works and switch it up when it no longer works... it’s just unbelievable.

Holland is going to have to do something this year though, this team isn’t good enough. Might have to cut some core players loose excluding Drai and McD.
