The concerns that were there all last season and most of this year got exposed. There's structural flaws in this team that need to be fixed.
That said, this Chicago team is not good. That the Oilers couldn't handle them means they didn't really deserve to move on. For the first time in my life, I'm mad at the Oilers for underachieving in the playoffs.
|
It's the same old story with the Oilers:
| Quote: |
@DimFilipovic: The Edmonton Oilers didn’t have at least one of Connor McDavid or Leon Draisaitl on the ice for 92:40 in that 4 game series and they combined to score.. 1 goal (while giving up 5)

Imagine if Holland had waited until the offseason to sign Kassian. Instead they keep shooting themselves in the foot.
|
Yep - there's an over-reliance on the big three with this team for certain.
Regular Season:
Draisaitl - 110 points
McDavid - 97 points
Nugent-Hopkins - 61 points
Kassian - 34 points
Klefbom - 34 points
Playoffs:
McDavid - 9 points
Nugent-Hopkins - 8 points
Draisaitl - 6 points
Neal - 3 points
Nurse/Klefbom/Ennis/Chiasson - 2 points
Last year was the same. Basically, if those three aren't scoring, then the team isn't winning. And in this series, they DID score. No other team in the playoffs has had the top-three production the Oilers did. They were 1st, 2nd, and tied for 5th. And we still lost because the depth gets destroyed, and the goaltending was poor.
|
I'm more worried about the defensive play after this series and the coaching decisions.
Every guy on this team was participating in the very typical Oilers thing where every time a game is close, we are just running around like dummies until something finally bad happens. And boy do our D love to help out the bad things happening. Nurse was trying to fart on the puck all series long, constantly with his back to the action in front of the net. Russell with many expert tips and deflections into our net. Klef was gambling like crazy like this was exhibition in the first few games of the series. D aren't only to blame too of course. Forwards were very useless in our own zone too constantly playing a part in leaving opposing players wide open, not even close to covering point men, skating right by open guys in front of our net as they coast to some useless area. Been a problem all year long. I keep hoping these defensive minded coaches we hire will somehow fix this stuff....not happening.
I have a hard time blame Koskinen for much since he came in. He didn't give away many if any gift goals. I think our D had a hand in almost as many goals against as Chicago scored since he was put in the net.
Smith in game 1 was an unforced coaching error. And he did exactly what everyone feared he would. Tosses Chicago a goal, leading to the whole team scrambling and playing scared leading to more chaos and Smith falling on his face on every save attempt. Tippett just watching the bleeding like McLellan, holding onto the time out like it's made of gold. Not fun tossing a game away off the bat in a best of 3 series.
Drai's line should have been reunited from the start. That line saved our playoff chances. Waited until there was 7 minutes left to being eliminated to reunite them.
Team definitely doesn't have the depth to go all the way still. We tried to add some wingers. No idea how AA scored 30 goals. We had enough to beat Chicago though. Just didn't play well. Back to being like the fans, waiting for bad things to happen and unfortunately playing a big part in it happening in our own zone with terrible defensive play.
