@guru_xd @jabo_vancouver That’s not saying much. Still a bandaid solution

@Karl121210 @jabo_vancouver Gibson last year or the year before was 100000% more of answer then Stuart Skinner and Tristen Jarry

You really do need to ask yourself if the Oilers pissing away Connor McDavid's 20's is the worst mismanagement of a generational talent in North American sports history.

@TopTierPucks And who’s taking Nurse? Please do tell.. 9.5..

List of players/coaches who should under no circumstances return in 2026-2027 - Darnell Nurse - Kris Knoblauch - Tristan Jarry - Jack Roslovic

@guru_xd @jabo_vancouver John Gibson is not the answer..

@jabo_vancouver JOHN GIBSON WAS AVAIABLE LAST YEAR Like i doubt you would've had to pay much to. but no skinner was the answer apparently till he wasn't. As long as Leon and Connor are there they won't be bad, but this playoff showed if they aren't gods, the Oilers have it tough

@Kgill39 Walman? Seriously.. you can’t be serious

A pathetic and embarrassing performance by everyone on this team except for Podkolzin, Walman and Kapanen. EMBARRASSING.

@Hortiez @TopTierPucks Tough take

@TopTierPucks Refs suck yes. But nurse and bouchard make 20 million to help the other team score. Lose nurse Trade Bouchard, probably get shot for him

Pathetic. Truly pathetic. Edmonton is going to lose this series and it’s because of the refs and unlucky bounces. The officiating has been truly awful. I’m not excusing the teams lack of effort btw, Knoblauch needs to be fired

@TopTierPucks Haha ya that second period was because of refs and bad bounces.. zero defensive awareness. Multiple odd man rushes. Out worked.. but ya. Unlucky..

@torontobaghead Troll

It would really make my day if the Ducks eliminate the Edmonton Oilers tonight. -Cleveland of Canada -Jarry starting goaltender -McDavid overrated and a defensive liability -ill-constructed roster -Bouchard a fraud The playoffs will be better without them in it. #LetsGoOilers

@TopTierPucks Insanity..

Wow. Evan Bouchard was the last man back with Terry approaching and he easily pokechecked the puck away. that’s for the fools who think he can’t play defense #LetsGoOilers He currently has 4 points in his last 4 periods. Playoff Bouch might be back 👀

@SportsnetSpec Horrific contract

Looks like Frederic is out for EDM, a healthy scratch replaced by Colton Dach. Could be the end of a very forgettable season for him.

@TopTierPucks You mean the Flyers coach

Podkolzin now has 5 points in 5 games and has more playoff points than any Canucks player since he entered the league Remember when Vancouver’s coaches said he wasn’t an NHL calibre player?

@johnwtomkinson Wow what a tweet… 🤯

I was just at Canadian Tire. Alberta flags are just about sold out again at $20 each, Canadian flags are on sale for $9.99 each and the rack is full, no one is buying them. 😂 #AlbertaIndependence

@EdmOilerlytics I’d argue everything Stuart put his finger on in the 24 run was gold. The Pk was nearly perfect

The fact Mark Stuart was able to keep his job this entire season somehow shows the seriousness this organization had this season. Coffey helped by repairing the 5v5 D, but the PK went to shit. Everything Stuart put his finger prints on was Edmontons weak spot this year.

@TheMugNHL As if half of this is even possible lol

First, Knoblauch and the entire staff is gone, Coffey likely moves back into a role in the front office. Second, Nurse is gone, and the team reevaluates Ekholm, RNH, Walman. Third, Jarry gone & a true starter acquired (keep Ingram as backup) Fourth, swing at the draft.

@O1L3RANDY @byterryjones Of course you want them on the ice. If you could play them all 60 min you would and you’d win a lot. But you can’t. And durability and injuries start to be a concern. 9 minutes for a guy on a 8 year deal.

@Karl121210 @byterryjones Because they are 2 of the best players in the world? You want them on the ice as much as possible. Drai had a break but is obviously still injured. Yes McDavid has played a lot of hockey this season but has also injured his ankle in game 2. It is what it is.

Is McDavid playing hurt? Yes. Is Draisaitl playing hurt? Yes. Is Hyman playing hurt? Yes. Can Oilers still win series? If the commit to playing passionate, desperate, win-the-battles defensively responsible hockey for 60 minutes? Yes.

@O1L3RANDY @byterryjones Then why is it constantly 20 plus minutes night after for 29/97. Pk for 97. The full 2 min on every power play. 3 on 3 Ot. They play 85% of it. And when it works everyone cheers. But it’s so taxing on the body to play that much and for as long as they have the past 2 years.

@Karl121210 @byterryjones The depth has been good? You can’t replace players like McDavid and Drai with depth. It’s the D that has lacked in this series we’ve had no problems scoring goals.

@oilers_life This is a horrific take.

Fiery coach-fiery team Heartless coach-heartless team You look at any good coach that has won a cup and tell me if he hasn’t lost it on the refs almost every game. It’s a shame we are here.

@KevinMcCurdy As much as I agree with everything you say here. The call is correct. If they call this no goal that would be a travesty. Sometimes common sense has to take over.

I haven't commented on this until now. "Logic" all of a sudden enters the equation as a valid means for calling goals "good", despite overwhelming history to the contrary. Some simple facts from this goal: - No official was in position to make this call on the ice, it should have been ruled no goal on the ice. That's just the facts. No ref was below the hash marks or anywhere close enough to conclusively call it in. No signal was made to this effect. Positioning failure should not result in one team being effectively penalized for that. - When such cases are ruled no goal on the ice, you need overwhelming conclusive evidence the puck completely crossed the line. Last I checked AI removals of objects and drawing circles around the puck aren't part of the situation rooms process. - If the league has a additional view that was used in this decision, that should be publicized. - It is my opinion that this puck completely crossed the line, but based on how these calls have historically gone, the process that has been used until now was tossed in the trashcan. So while the calls result is ultimately what we want from the on-ice product, the process that has been used up until now was completely thrown out the window. The league has a bit of soul-searching to do here and I believe this is a reasonable point to be perturbed with from the Oilers perspective. You can get the call right, and the process wrong, which means they need to change the process. Changing it on game 86 of the season is not the time.

@qauckenbush17 Don’t stay this Bs the minute you start to struggle. 97/29 won’t be giving up heading into game 5. This is a loser mentality.

Dear oilers fans. It’s okay to have a long summer. This was our year by January , anybody that thought this team was going deep wasn’t watching the games, they’ve been atrocious for 65 of there 84 games, and they play dumb hockey, a long summer for everybody is for the best.

@Maddawg81 @David___Co Walman is 100% a liability. Murphy is your best defensive dman.

@David___Co Fucking insane. Walman playing 7 less minutes than Nurse and Murphy is so fucking dumb. They can’t move the puck out of their zone so them playing good defense doesn’t matter because they will be doing it way more often lol

Knoblauch having Lazar Samanski Frederic and Nurse out early in overtime. Great job coach. One more loss and GTFO the Oilers, please and thanks.
