Crazy to say with 70 games left, but it really feels like our season is over. Every single aspect of our team is awful, and getting worse game by game. Thinking how we were a few pieces away from being a top contender, to the worst team in the entire league in one months time. I just feel numb.
its not crazy at all. Numbers dont lie we have like a 6.5 percent chance to make the playoffs

We lost 40 seconds on that PP (waiting to pull the goalie) because McDavid couldn't even make a simple down low pass.

I was no hockey player but can a physical issue cause your passing to get this bad or is it a confidence issue?

He looks like he has an issue with his wrist.

Team needed a GM who was hungry to win, instead we got the content GM who thinks he’s winning because he’s already won 15 years ago

I so hated that mentality of "well all we have to do is keeping getting tries at the Cup and eventually we'll just win" that Holland had ... like do your f***ing job and fix the goaltending and D you dumb ass.

Just because you lucked into Lidstrom + 50 other good Russian players in Detroit before anyone else was scouting Europe that hard doesn't mean it was going to work the same way here. You need to actually work your ass off in a salary cap world without the best D in the league.

I'm sure the fanboys here will absolve Skinner even though he gave up a season high 3 goals for the Sharks and got helped by a couple goalposts and Nurse pulling a puck from the line.

No wonder the club always presses. 1/4 shots tonight were getting by Skinner.

Absolving the defence of their hand in this (as well as Draisaitl's) is equally egregious.

Woody, from arrogant coach that figured he was brightest bulb in the room to crying on the bench hopefully the last time any of us see him.

What is Manson even here for. I mean nothing personal but the guy can't even speak to be heard during a game and can barely be heard at the best of times. He just stands there on the bench. Its not like he can talk to the players. They can't hear anything he'd say in the din of a pro rink. Not that the players are listening to either of these clown coaches.

McDavid and Draisatl aren’t putting up absurd numbers and the Oilers are at the bottom of the league. Coincidence?!?!?!?!?!!!
They’re the ones running a PP that really isn’t clicking though. Given how much PP time they get and how good they’ve shown to be in the past, it is their fault when they don’t produce when the team really needs them to. Being around point-per-game for their salaries and usage isn’t good enough.

No, no he did not
Scoring is officially a bigger problem than defense. Even if we were getting average amounts of goals against we would still be outscored because our scoring is that bad. Since the Nashville game the D have scored almost 50% of the goals.

Skinner was dogwater tonight no doubt but if you're trying to rekindle the goalie debate you should probably google the highlights of tonight's Condors game first.

Manson had no clue what he was doing his entire tenure here.

What’s stopping any of the other forwards from stepping up?

Im not even sure why people are trying to argue whos at fault goalie or defense. Its all absolute garbage, always has been. Just not scoring 4.5 goals per game to hide it anymore
