Lot of weak play by a lot of Oilers.
Biggest disappointment for me was LD. He's supposed to be our No.2, flat footed on the 1st goal, which he was for most of the game, looked dopey all night, standing still, passes into opposing skates, Koski bailed him on one big fat double cheese pizza. He's a problem. Should be pulling his own line as a center, but can't, need to play Nuge instead. Nuge would be a more complimentary player with McD IMHO. Chaisson was invisible the last few games, but he is what he is.. McD needs some better players to work with, he's carrying that entire franchise (including management) on his back. 
Button was talking recently how he thinks Bouchard will have to add some urgency and intensity to his game, get quicker feet if he is to make it in the NHL, same can be said for LD, he needs to get those feet out of the cement.

LD.....most frustrating player on the Oilers for me, because the elite talent and creativity is there, obviously. Capitalizes being on Connor's wing, certainly. But... we still see that he plays smaller than his 'big body'. Turnovers on blind prayer passes. Only seems to get it out of 2nd when he's looking for a feed from Connor on a 2 on 1. Looks straight-legged and gassed often. It's totally why he's not centering the 2nd line. I'm hoping he will work this stuff out of his game and fulfill that roll.
I digress, LD and how he leaves wanting a bit is pretty low on the list of issues with the Oilers. The Flames have significantly more depth than the Oilers, and haven't ransacked their roster at wing for nothing. They've probably got 3 guys on their back end who would be the top 3 defenders on the Oilers. I think they're well coached. The Oilers this year are a bubble team at best. No secrets there, I think most were predicting wildcard at the start of the season.
There probably isn't a guy I don't dislike in the Flames' lineup. Sucks to lose to dirtbags.
