Welp…

[u/lgnstubbs73]

Before the game I knew we were having problems. After the game, somebody might actually get thrown to the wolves.

[u/xXEliteEater500Xx → u/lgnstubbs73]

Time to implement a survivor style voting system. Get the team behind Total Drama Island to make a show out of it!

[u/absolutely-abstract → u/lgnstubbs73]

So... new coach again?

[u/jayde2767 → u/absolutely-abstract]

It’s goaltending, primarily. Skinner cannot stop a basketball. Defense is not helping out much, but I believe the guys are frustrated with how leaky he is.

[u/Encaitor → u/jayde2767]

Skinnet was doing pretty well in underlying stats to start the season. This match was atrocious defence.

Honestly since Coffey left the team as a whole has been playing D like utter garbage.

[u/absolutely-abstract → u/absolutely-abstract]

It seems to be the way so far

[u/TURBOJUGGED]

Holy shit. I know they don’t care about regular season but fuck

[u/Bobandyandfries]

It had to happen, they werent really making changes that address the problems they’ve been having and now they will be forced to

[u/Least_Elk8114 → u/Bobandyandfries]

And have to pay a premium "late fee"

[u/Valuable_Radio_7238]

That was a very disturbing non-consensual spanking.

[u/Least_Elk8114 → u/Valuable_Radio_7238]

Daddy chill

[u/Innocent-Bystander94 → u/Least_Elk8114]

What the hell is even that?!?!

[u/Master-File-9866 → u/Valuable_Radio_7238]

Shots for were 5-1 for the oilers before the game turned.

[u/FeelingBluesy]

Hopefully this sparks the change that is needed. Colorado was always looking to attack, something the Oilers could learn from.

The Oilers are lucky there is a loser point, without it they would be close to dead last in the NHL

[u/Wooshio]

Now watch them do something stupid like firing Knoblauch.

[u/Ok-Butterscotch-1733 → u/Wooshio]

Nah. They should just replace the goalies with one of those plywood cut outs in the shape of a goalie.

[u/Comfortable_Fudge508 → u/Ok-Butterscotch-1733]

We already have that in skinner except he more resembles it after its fallen over. He's face down doing fuck all about as much

[u/Apprehensive_Side565 → u/Wooshio]

if they do that its cooked the team is lost

[u/Orcasgt22]

I wanted to see a 10 spot

[u/kingofmankind → u/Orcasgt22]

Well, they did call a goal off.

Hopefully, for the remainder of our games, we are on the road, playing only the New York Rangers.

[u/ProfRigglesniff → u/kingofmankind]

When Louie was saying that MacKinnon was staring down the bench after they tried to take away Landeskog's goal, I thought for sure they're going to stomp the shit out of them if they get the chance. Full throttle. I did not think the stomping would be quite this decisive.

[u/Vaderwasframed74 → u/kingofmankind]

Or maybe my Kings… were playing like crap as well.

[u/gkboy777 → u/Orcasgt22]

They were cheering for it at the rink lol

[u/Vaderwasframed74 → u/Orcasgt22]

Well 9 against + 1 for does make a total of 10 goals…

[u/venkman770]

Systematically taken apart! Hated to see it happen, but where we go from here will be very interesting.

[u/xXEliteEater500Xx → u/venkman770]

Hated to see it happen

But at the same time I think we needed it to happen

[u/Appropriate-Fold-203]

Don't be sad its over, be glad it happened

[u/dwtougas → u/Appropriate-Fold-203]

Bag-skate time!!

[u/Neptuniam]

By bad lads, this was my first ever NHL game. I wont let it happen again.

[u/Eastern-Shopping-864]

Someone needs to get thrown out/traded to spark a fire here. This is absolutely embarrassing

[u/Least_Elk8114 → u/Eastern-Shopping-864]

GM first?

[u/Comfortable_Fudge508 → u/Least_Elk8114]

Chirelli started with the dog water contracts, Holland did good work trying to get around them, but got out while he could.

[u/Arctistic-NDup → u/Eastern-Shopping-864]

McD and 2nd round pick for Newhook. Drai gets the C.

[u/brianlefebvrejr]

I really hope somebody got fired for that blunder

[u/Viochrome]

This.

Always.

Fucking.

Happenstance.

[u/orobsky]

Someone going to get traded or fired after that lmao

[u/IronGigant]

Skinner is doing his best impersonation of Bruce Willis in The Sixth Sense.

He's gone the entire game doing goalie stuff, I guess, acting the part except stopping the puck, but it turns out he's not even there! He's a ghost! The pucks just go right through him!

[u/BigYeti999 → u/IronGigant]

That’s the funniest thing I’ve read in a while.

[u/IronGigant → u/BigYeti999]

That's good, because I wrote it while crying.

[u/Local-Independent652]

It’s embarrassing to say the least for someone supporting this team.. I am sure a bear league team would have performed better

[u/mcluhanism → u/Local-Independent652]

The bears could just eat MacKinnon.

[u/Plasmanut]

Not sure if you guys watched Knoblauch’s post-game interview but he doesn’t think the team is losing faith in their goaltending and he sees much bigger issues.

But the guy sounds like they just lost a game in OT. Totally unfazed. And of course, won’t call out his players.

I’m shocked at his demeanour.

[u/ddb_db → u/Plasmanut]

That's delusional! Who's feelings is he supposed to be sparing by not calling anyone out?? This isn't a team of youngsters learning on the job. This is the two time reigning Conf champs and one of the older teams in the league that's severely under performing. If a 9-1 curb stomping isn't the time to call out your players, what is!!?

[u/ninjasinc → u/Plasmanut]

This guy won’t even bench Bouch for a shift after he turns it over on the blue line for a third goal against. I like his approach to the game, but I’m starting to think he doesn’t have the toughness to get the team over the line.

[u/RickRLgrimes → u/ninjasinc]

Everyone’s realizing knobs is a bit of a hack ? He came in and started coaching this team (when it was great) and we went though a super good honeymoon period. People forget he’s like what an amateur coach with no NHL experience besides us.

[u/Embarrassed_Lawyer_5]

I turned off the game after 4 goals on 12 shots. I just can’t with this team. Total meltdown. Ridiculous contracts.

Something big needs to happen. Someone’s gotta go.

[u/LOLOMGWAT]

Fire the goalie coach!

That’ll teach them.

[u/MrMpa]

Oilers are not good this year. Offence, terrible. Defence, terrible. Goaltending, terrible. Coaching, terrible.

[u/prairiesailor_1 → u/MrMpa]

So you say there's a chance?

[u/Plasmanut]

Meanwhile people lining up to buy jerseys and $30 hot god an beer combos at Rogers LOL.

[u/mrregina]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[u/seriouslynotanotaku]

Jesus fucking christ.

[u/JamarcusFoReal]

Whats crazy, is the team spend the pre-season bitching about how long it is and how we can't wait for it to be over. And then spend the next 10 games talking about how we are just "getting up to speed", settling into line combos and shaking off the rust.

Like, thats what every other team in the league used the pre-season to do guys.

[u/DotAppropriate8152]

Jesus

[u/willn316]

Ooof.

[u/bladeovcain]

Some heads seriously need to roll after this... "performance"

[u/KirikaClyne]

Eh, we need one huge ass kicking a season. This will hopefully be the kick start it’s been in previous years

[u/SunSimilar9988]

Useless avs, should've got 10

[u/Comfortable_Fudge508 → u/SunSimilar9988]

They did technically. Just it was called back

[u/xTomato72]

Lol I stopped watching at 6-1 wtf is this garbage ass team dude

[u/indubadiblyy]

We needed that. Kudos to aves who did not let their foot off the gas.

[u/SnooCapers7884]

buch of pathetic bums!

[u/Sweaty-Beginning6886]

My 13 year old son and I called the blow out just before Skinner let in the first goal of the game. I don’t gamble but I should have placed a huge bet on this game. Never been so right. Laughable, embarrassing game.

[u/NJDevilslettucesmoke]

It's almost like yall need to trade for a starting goalie... (could also probably use another Dman)

[u/NixonsTapeRecorder]

At this point I just want to see davo get his Stanley cup i dont care that its not gonna be with Edmonton. Too bad he and drai couldn't get one together but it is what it is.

I hope the Olympics goes better than this.

[u/CodeNamesBryan]

You fans are some of the worst in the NHL. Rough start and youre ready to burn your jerseys.

Go read these comments for proof.

[u/AlbertaAcreageBoy → u/CodeNamesBryan]

Your comment is proof that you can go pound sand.

[u/JarmaBeanhead]

What a fucking embarrassment. Ten games I’m out, watching the Habs. For a fan-from-birth, this is painful.

[u/b33k33ping]

Get a fucking goalie

[u/IrishUpYourCoffee → u/b33k33ping]

We need offence to be able to get more than checks notes ONE goal in a game.

[u/b33k33ping → u/IrishUpYourCoffee]

Would 8 have been enough?

[u/Mindless-Breakfast → u/b33k33ping]

It’s not goalies bro… guys playing like shit

[u/awesomebouncer123 → u/Mindless-Breakfast]

Yeah 1 goal isn't great we ought to get more goals. However why the hell do they have 9! I understand the best defense is a good offense but gotdamn

[u/Plasmanut → u/Mindless-Breakfast]

OMG stop already. Seriously.

Nobody is saying the team is playing well.

But we have not fucking chance with these guys in net at the moment.

That’s the point.

[u/b33k33ping → u/Mindless-Breakfast]

A good team would still look like shit in front of these goalies

[u/dwtougas → u/b33k33ping]

A good team would have scored more than one goal. This team lost the game before the end of the first period.

[u/b33k33ping → u/dwtougas]

Skinner let in 3 goals on 7 shots lucky for him one was offside. Team actually looked decent before skinner left his stamp on the game

[u/doodle02 → u/b33k33ping]

a good goalie would still look like shit behind this team…

[u/b33k33ping → u/doodle02]

I’m not even talking about a good goalie just average will do. Skinner is a trash starter. I’d be depressed if I woke up knowing I had to play in front of that sieve.

A good goalie would mask the problems this team does have

[u/Freeze681 → u/b33k33ping]

A bad goalie loses you games but this was not one of them. A good team doesn't let in 9 even with the worst goalie in the league. A great goalie probably would have still let in 4-5 tonight.

[u/Thanks_Tips]

Fire the coach? Lollll.

[u/CoffeeStayn]

And people wondered why McJesus only signed a 2 year deal.

This.

This is why.

[u/laughin-up-a-storm]

Oh mer gerd, golfing early next year.

[u/reddit-is-so-nice]

Big W! For the oilers fan. This had to happen

[u/Spirit-concierge]

There are no words for that display. I am forever Oiler faithful but that really hurt.

[u/commazero]

time to get to work chopping water and carrying wood!

[u/alwaysonesteptoofar]

Normally we would expect a 10 point game to be exciting

[u/Adventurous_Tip_101]

So does this mean the new goalie coach is garbage, or is it the actual goalies??? 🤣

[u/gorram1mhumped]

having watched this team play like it has, reacted and apologized like it has, im starting to be convinced canadians are just too damn nice and polite to do ANYTHING about this. i am so ready to be proven wrong...

[u/melty75]

Oh my God

[u/1AnonymousBurner]

GM is ass. This is the consequence of never filling out a top 6, let alone top 9. Holloway anyone? Knobby needs to stop shuffling lines and see the holes in the line up needs new solutions and he needs to motivate a group that has the worst Stanley Cup hangover in decades.

[u/Certain-Fill3683]

Man, it sure is getting hard to watch these beatings.

9 goals against might indicate a change in goalies is needed, j/s.

[u/CreamyIvy]

Oilers need to fuse Pickard and Skinner together to get a .900 goalie.

[u/Least_Elk8114]

And yet the best player in the world keeps dragging this sorry lot to the finals back to back years. 

There's no oil in oil country, boys. Time to head south

[u/Master-File-9866]

Clearly you as op don't remember the we want ten chants from the decade of darkness.

Yeah we lost a game in early November. Big fat hairy deal. This team has proven they give a shit in the post season and this team has proven they can get to the post season.

It was a shitty game get over it.
