ive been a die hard oilers fan for years and i hate how toxic we are sometimes. we have a new line up new top 4 d man, drai is out of course knob will be shuffling lines? savoie cant score so dont blame him trying to shuffle it around a bit. stay positive people this team knows playoff hockey and they want it bad. you will be surprised what they are capable of in the near future and you shouldn't have to be. they are back to back western champs
This Team is ALWAYS SO CLOSE….that game was almost a Lightening killer…the Oilers were able to DO WHAT THEY WANTED….they just missed a step…but other than that they had Coopers number. BELOW IS THE 1 SMALL ERROR…
They did not eliminate your 2nd and 3rd chances…you WERE NOT CREATING THEM….because of how your System approached the game…you did ALMOST everything correct you were PHYSICALLY DOMINATING you and you used Quick-release shots to build volume however you did NOT do the most critical thing of all you did NOT rely on the give-and-go and its Gaps and Timing to push the River which would have created a lot more East/West attacks….your shot locations and choices were dictating the direction of the flow of the game and you pushed it North/South to hard,to many straight on shots where the Goalie was squared up giving you nothing but iron so the posts were not by accident or bad luck ….not enough East/West pressure on their Goalie and System via playaction/Gamespace management and shot selection
Season for this team is over. They can say whatever they want exactly this coach . Hopefully they can come back next season with better leadership and better team
He should have been fired a long time ago. Taking Savoie off that top line after showing great chemistry with McDavid is certainly a head scratcher. Not to mention he did this after the team won a couple of games…talk about shooting yourself in the foot.
McDavid was the best defence-man tonight, how many time's did he have to come all the way back and dig the puck out to get it out of the zone, because no one else was capable of intercepting the puck on the boards, or digging it out, or making a pass to get out of the zone. Dude must be exhausted, I was exhausted watching it.
HAY TELL THE TRUTH !!!!!!!!! YOUR SLUG " DARNELL NURSE. " IS THE PROBLEM !!!!! YOU SAID THE 3RD. GOAL … WELL DARNELL DID THE SAME THING AS LAST GAME / LEFT HIS POSITION / CROSSED IN FRONT OF GOALIE / LEFT HIS POSITION AND A GUY SNEAKED IN BEHIND HIM COMPLETELY WIDE OPEN !!!!!!!!! ALWAYS NEXT YEAR BOYS !!!!!!!!!! DUMP. NURSE !!!!!!!!
I think Edmonton is afraid to finish in first place. They would be more expected to win the Stanley Cup. If so, why not play out a dramatic ending like they always do so it’ll be more of a wow look at how they rebounded kind of bullshit and if they lose the cup, it doesn’t matter they had a bad ending to their season. 😂

It goes to show how much this team is lacking depth with Drai out. This team is cooked. Hyman, Nuge look slow out there.
The physicality was the missing piece especially at this time of the season and the fact that the O!l are on pace to make the playoffs again.

I am willing to go to bat for this Coach.
Oilers should have fired you in October. Still not too late to pull the trigger

Chris Knoblauch didn't screw up Roster/cap construction.
Knoblauch, start looking for a new job! You really just don't get it. Time to move on!! Bye
Management has screwed this team since the nurse contract
As a Panthers fan, I really hope the Oilers make it to the Cup Finals again this year, and then lose to the Bolts 🥰☺

YOUR CORE GUY'S ? ! MAYBE ONE OF THEM IS A "SLUG" NAMED DARNELL NURSE ! DUMP HIM AND START WINNING / CAUSE "YOUR" JOB IS ON THE LINE !!!!!!!!!
Bring back Iron Mike Keenan!!!
Knoblauch, you know it’s not hard to bench one of Henrique or nurse right? Bench Jeff Jackson’s stupid boyfriend Rico. Make it happen 🙏
Time for a change
Only positive is that Vegas is tanking just as bad as us lol.
Still 2nd in div is why he is currently still employed by this team.
Day 1 of saying Peter Deboer should be the head coach
The Michael Scott of NHL coaches
Ingram isn’t good enough to get this team in the playoffs. Call up Tompkins he’s better.
Fire this loser into the sun. Months ago.
Dead man walking
I’m getting really sick of this guy
