Words to describe this pile of excrement fail me right now. Look at the difference in blocks. Look at how many goals Skinner let in out of how many shots. Bouch played the most of any player and he played nearly HALF THE GAME (and Connor and Leon weren't that far behind and they both played more than Bouch's D partner Ekholm). They really need to get lines cycling and get depth scoring and oh, yeah, a little thing called Defense and Goaltending would be nice too. ZERO on 4 PP tries (though only Nuge got penalties this game (sigh, NUGGIE, you know better)). Didn't matter as the PK kept them out but not good enough by a long shot. Saying "We weren't feeling it tonight" coach is a nice way for you to get fired because you're supposed to make sure they feel it EVERY NIGHT. Take care all.
McDavid has to be injured, and while he's tried to play through it—especially given the need for W's as early as game 1—now whaddya do? 2 weeks on the shelf now? This is horrific…but maybe letting get rest will help overall. This team is straight up depressed
Good to see you getting going Shauger…well, and Struddy too! (Sheesh, Struddy, looks like he's going a bit 'Constanza himself hahaa 🙂 Nice to see and hear truly aware and in tune insiders speak truths for once instead of pandering to this 'leadership' group'…these sorry core group of perennial "woe is me", totally immature and unaccountable behavior, on and off the ice for 9 years now. NO MORE BASELESS EMPTY QUOTES, NO MORE WHINING, NO MORE EGO TALKING AND EXCUSES…TAKE OWNERSHIP AS A…"TEAM" for once in your young lives. Much needed P.S. And from this day forward stop the total 'LOSER' talk about…"you know it's a long season to make playoffs and all it takes is getting in and anything can happen…" instead of applying yourselves game in game out in regular season and start building a foundation, a legacy like the dynasty team did and only road to that, is raising division, conference banners to get to their ultimate goal instead of pouting like spoiled children who are 'magically' just entitled to it. Just listen to how all your lazy, immature attitudes and post game comments have now not only totally pissed off Vegas with a total lack of respect, but the rest of young and talented teams getting better year after year while the Oilers as a franchise and team that have been pissing away their careers with said lack of TEAM THINK and this disrespect to the rest of the league.

Trade 97 and 29. Then build a team the proper way. Goalie and defense out.
Seattle is going to plow thru them~ considering last games effort ~ with ease….
McDavid has to be injured, and while he's tried to play through it—especially given the need for W's as early as game 1—now whaddya do? 2 weeks on the shelf now? This is horrific…but maybe letting get rest will help overall.
This team is straight up depressed
They never were the best players in the world.
