Trent Frederic looks like a completely different player now that he can skate again

The #Oilers have placed forward Leon Draisaitl on long-term injured reserve & recalled forward Roby Jarventie from the @Condors on an emergency basis.

Ayy first pull

Oilers GM Stan Bowman on Leon Draisaitl: If everything goes as scheduled, he should be back at end of the regular season Does not need surgery

This is what I imagine life will be like when McDavid and Draisaitl are longer Oilers

@mathewjdp They delayed the game to prevent being penalized for delaying the game. What’s not to get? 😄

@OilerAlert I get they didnt know. Im more complaining about the spirit of the rule.

I am very conflicted with this entire delay of game/penalty sequence 1. Nurse is a goof and makes a play that delays the game 2. Correct call is there is no penalty because it barely hits the glass 3. All viewers watched now a delayed game 4. Edm had to for some reason use up their time out. Huh?

Jack and Louie are a bit lost on the broadcast but the reason EDM called a timeout is because they’re not sure if it’s a penalty when the puck hits the top of the glass

@meisamnorouzi I wonder if Knoblauch sees Howard as a top-6 replacement

@OilerAlert They should 100% call up Howard and use him on PP1 in Drai’s spot. No brainer

With Draisaitl on LTIR, the Oilers should really call up Jarventie and give him a few games. By all accounts he’s NHL ready I also wonder if they’re inclined to bring up Pickard

A few potential silver linings if Draisaitl recovers in time for the playoffs* You can spread minutes more evenly, put other guys in different positions, and monitor new combinations (e.g. Savoie with McDavid) *obviously the Oilers have to make the post-season first

Calgary, Edmonton, and Prague will be the hosts for the 2028 World Cup of Hockey! #WCOH

@oilersdailyy He gets caught puck watching and has to make a desperation play to stop MacKinnon, which results in MacK’s trajectory changing. If he had better awareness he would’ve already been occupying the lane instead of having to dive into it 🤷‍♂️

@OilerAlert Not sure how you think he assists on Ingram getting hurt but whatever

Nathan MacKinnon’s 2026: - costs Canada the Olympic gold - kills Connor Ingram We all hate MacKinnon

Evan Bouchard has been the best defenseman in the NHL this season

@bonejrp Well I was talking about the most recent one where Kapanen was in the box. But he’s also been PKing in previous games

@OilerAlert Maybe because Murphy took 2 of the 3 penalties today and Emberson is also out of the game?

Why is Nurse still on the PK now that the Oilers have Murphy???

@PoolNuge3 He blocks shots instead of deflecting them into our net 🤷‍♂️

@OilerAlert Walman is not much better right now

@PoolNuge3 Walman, Ekholm, Bouchard, Murphy?? They have four guys who should PK over him

@OilerAlert Well nurse is a lefty and Murphy is a righty. But also Emberson is out rn
