Both goalies were pulled. Little more leeway for Carolina though when Edmonton is averaging 6 SOG a period.

I don’t see what the problem is. They only need a mere 12 wins in a row to erase the poor start to the season.

I can't tell if you want to keep everyone on the team who hasn't achieved greatness, or get rid of them. You seem to want to have it both ways.

As long as you’re being entertained…. Lmao…

Don't confuse me as an Oilers fan, but outside of poor goaltending, poor defensive play and indifferent forward play, including the big three, what is wrong with the Oiler's.
It seems like a precipitous fall off from last year. It's like NOTHING is working. Firing Woodcroft was a mistake that early in the season. But I predicted they would.
Unless they turn it around soon, their season is done, they will not make the playoffs. And some people were predicting them as cup winners? On what basis? They have been an incomplete team for years, and they can't fix it with paying a few players so much money.
Anyways, it makes the Flames look better and they pretty much suck themselves.

I think maybe before Holland leaves Carolina he should have a chat with the Zamboni driver / emergency goalie maybe he’s got another NHL win in him. Can’t hurt. Might get us out of this losing streak.

Yup. EJ summed it up.

McDavid is like <65th in points
Behind Bouchard in points on the oilers.
Sitting at -8?
Yikes.

They had a way better game. Capitals played poorly which helps. Power play was sharp, sharp, sharp.

They were rocking the last couple games, now let's see if they can keep that going and string together about 6 or 7 wins in a row

More just having some fun while I wait for my daughter to show up so I can do an oil change for her.
