The Day After: Edmonton Oilers 2, Golden Knights 4 Discussion

Connor McDavid returned to the Oilers lineup but it was not enough as the team blew a third period lead after a horrific penalty by Ryan Nugent-Hopkins changed the entire momentum of the game. After the Oilers were leading by a goal through two-and-a-half periods, defenceman Noah Hanifin scored twice for the Golden Knights, including the game-winner with 48.4 seconds remaining, before Vegas added an empty-netter to steal the two points on Wednesday night in a 4-2 victory at Rogers Place.

In last season's Playoffs, the performance of Oilers' penalty kill unit was outstanding... It even seemed that any player could score a shorthanded goal at any given moment... It was exciting to watch such a great display of energy, talent, etc. And now...
😭

For the day after discussion you should start including small clips from the game you’re talking about so people can see, I feel like that would make your videos a lot more complete 👌🏼 I am a Rangers fan, but always love watching your content as of late. Keep it up

[Pugyeg]

Failure everywhere on this team from the top to bottom. Same old defensive and goaltending problems but now with added offensive problems.

[danielpatterson]

Bang on with Tortorella. I was just thinking last night Torts would absolutely kick these guys' butts. And that appears to be exactly what these guys need.

[Dan-]

No shots the last 10 minutes Zero, 0️⃣, 0 how is that possible

[gilaubin]

You are right about goaltending. It seems that the opposing goalies are always making big saves. Last night on the Arvisson chance Hill robbed him. We need saves like that.

[stefaniverson]

The team played so well defensively in the playoffs. They all bought in to knobbies system and played it well. It’s like the players have collectively decided “well that way didn’t work so we’re going back to our way” except they can’t generate the offence they used to lol.

[Nickh]

I'm not an oilers fan, but I think people dumping on bouchard is ridiculous. He had 20 plus points in the playoffs last year. You have to keep faith in a guy like that

[johnpark]

i think nuge should be switched out for arvidsson on the PP - he seems to have a knack of finding open spots in the slot and has a sneaky one timer. I usually never see the PP score from in that area.

[inducedcomics]

I don't blame you for venting and being disappointed in this team. I haven't been excited for this lineup all season. I was upset they didn't sign Holloway. The team has no youth or excitement in the lineup. It's boring to watch.

[Vinny]

I agree with benching nug for a game or to for a mental reset but you can’t bench Bouchard because you have no one to play on that top pair

[ewigoilr]

agree with your summary, offense is very 'thin', passing is weak, defense (see 3rd goal, 4 Oilers can't stop 2 Knights), Bouchard's day-dreaming, PK not present. McDavid no impact on game, Draisaitl not a lot compared to previous games, Stuart allowed a goal between his flaps. Everybody is confident they can come back. I am too, but if they put in the effort and not blame it on luck. Also training team doesn't show any RESPONSIBILITY, they make it out as a 'bad phase' that will 'balance itself out statistically', which is a pile of sh.t They need to put in aggression, play harder, shot more often, quicker, without hesitation, and all those aspects need to be DEMANDED by the training team, and not be made into a 'lack of luck'

[nili]

It is the D which has problem . Also for the PK time too.

[ewigoilr]

exactly, last night should have been a bone-breaking game from most oilers, instead most of them played as if it were a Sunday-Afternoon stroll. And that for me is poor TRAINER ACT! Knoblauch should yell the hell on the side-lines to correct the team, instead he is acting like a Wall-Street executive after he lost 1 penny on a stock. I don't see Knoblauch's skin in those losses

[EclipseJay]

I was and always have been disappointed with the Knoblauch hiring . Between Jacksons conflicts of interest and soft quiet Knoblauch the inmates are running the asylum . Im still shocked the players allowed Ceci to be moved, best believe no ones ever waiving a no move clause here, bunch of buddies making a ton of money with no accountability

[johndeveau]

Its so damn disappointing after seeing this team recovering last year specialty teams looking great and, WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED, Oilers were picked this year as favorites. So damn disappointing, there should be a performance clause in their salaries for complete fairness to the fans who actually pay for high ticket prices and merchandise. Again very disappointing!

[jc]

typical mo of oilers - get a new coach play well for the year last yr, But always the next yr they are so bad, would be nice to know the stats on the dump n chase? cause I don't think it's good, and would be nice if a freaking Oilers coach would drop this style of play. Good video's keep up the good work, maybe an analysis on the dump n chase would be great!

[ewigoilr]

Agree with you, Bouchard played worst game I ever seen him play. At that level, Bouchard should not get not even a 7M contract, and stop dreaming of 11-12!

[Ryan_Bolton]

Mcdavid and draisaitl have 48% of the teams' goals and 44% of all points... there is no depth. Compared to last seasons, 25% and 29%

[richardgroom]

joker... joker... so funny if you do the whole make up and suit !
