Might add.. fan of Holloway .. and he was looking good for the 1st period.. but in the 2nd coughed up the puck on a zone entry.. then promptly took a lazy tripping penalty..

Is this preseason Nuge or playoff Nuge?
Better yet. Is there a difference?

Not sure about the rest of you… but this often talked about call from Treliving asking Holland if he wanted Lafferty, asking for Desharnais. I think that’s an error in Holland’s part. Should have been a yep, thanks, here’s Vinny’s contact info.

need some more weak sauce shots along the ice directly into Demko's pads to try to get back in this game.

I hope Boeser gets a double-hatty tonight. This clown show of a squad deserves to give it up. What a mess of a season opener.
Maybe this game will wake up a few sleep heads. Welcome to the NHL, boys!

Depth Canucks getting reps on the PP now. How embarrassing. What a terrible start to the season. #fireholland

Might as well have relatively equal players out there to make the game a little more fair, right? Embarrassing af.

1-0. 15–1.
It is just a loss. Not concerned. Seeing Demko leave the game makes me smile. Team gets so frustrated when they get down. It’d be nice to see some composure.

It absolutely does matter. The Canucks have all the confidence in the world against this sack of potatoes team. They are going to roll into Edmonton and absolutely crush the Oil again if they play like this. Our team has A TONNE to figure out before the next game, or it'll be a rinse and repeat of this garbage fire.
And... as an added note... it wouldn't be as big of a deal if the team hadn't made SUCH a big deal out of Connor and Leon getting the guys together early, getting skates in to build some familiarity early... trying to adopt a system that was going to be so much more about defense and responsible coverage... and to lay this kind of typical Oilers tire fire effort? It's inexcusable.
This is supposed to be a team that is going to do something special this year. They look like one of the worst teams in the league at the moment, instead.
It's like a giant middle finger to the people that have been following the team this offseason. So much hope, so much focus, and then a complete collapse. Total systems failure.

I remember a back to back against Calgary 20ish years ago. They lost the first game 7-2 (or something awful) then came back and put 10 up. Hockey can be weird sometimes.
I may not have this 100% correct

Please do not feed the bears. Feeding the bears creates a dependent population unable to survive on their own. Bears.

Very disappointing first game but hey, this IS only the first game.
Take this whooping and let this embarrassment make you get it together next game.

Silver linings.
You also know that glass man Boeser will eventually shatter as well.

Holloway blocking shots down 7-1.
At least there is some heart on the ice.

Hopefully this is wiping the contender talk out of the minds of our players.

Great to see you back OG .. 👍🏻
Wish the result wasn't a converted TD against though.. at least you still have your pants !
So much for the "pundits" polls picking Oilers as Cup fav..
Lot of no shows.. All the guys you'd hoped/expected to improve over the summer haven't..
Defence is a mess without Ekholm.. IMO Ekholm is the defacto defense leader on the team.. take aways.. retrievals.. he leads teh defense.. Nurse and Bouchard are awful at it..
So.. who starts in net next game?

I forgot Evander Kane was a thing. It appears he's played 15 minutes already.

No effort. Plain and simple. If you don't try, you don't win. The team played like Bouchard does on defense a lot of nights. Couldn't give a crap.
I feel bad for the goalies, especially Campbell. Mentally, he needed a good start. That game was 100% not on him or Skinner. I saw him make 2, 3, 4 saves, the Oilers are standing around watching as the Canucks bang it in.

I wonder who RDOF’s new whipping boy is going to be this year? Can’t wait for months of him cheering for failure for our top defenceman.

With RDOF, the correct answer will always be; Whomever the media decides it should be. Usually a good hockey player with a flaw in their game.
Bonus points for also continually extolling the virtues of management and 4th line JAG's.
I take most of the summer off of this site. I return hoping for better in both the Oilers and Oilfans, yet here we are. The Oilers have an early disappointment and RD is still spouting BS he heard on a radio call in program.
