For the love of god, win game 1 and let’s see what happens.

With this version of the Oilers, I've come to expect a Game 1 loss. In recent years, it's almost like that's the game where they scout the opposition to see what they can learn and then use it against the other team the rest of the series.

In the McDavid era...
2017 - Lost Game 1 to Sharks, Won Series 4-2; Won Game 1 to Ducks, Lost Series 4-3
2020 - Lost Game 1 to Hawks, Lost 3-1
2021 - Lost Game 1 to Jets, Lost 4-0 (with 3 OTLs! )
2022 - Lost Game 1 to Kings, Won 4-3; Lost Game 1 to Flames, Won 4-1; Lost Game 1 to Avs, Lost 4-0
2023 - Lost Game 1 to Kings, Won 4-2; Lost Game 1 to Knights, Lost 4-2;
2024 - Won Game 1 to Kings, Won 4-1, Lost Game 1 to Canucks, Won 4-3; Won Game 1 to Stars, Won 4-2; Lost Game 1 to Panthers, Lost 4-3.
2025 - Lost Game 1 to Kings, Won 4-2.

So, when losing Game 1 in McDavid era the team is... 6-5
When winning Game 1 the record is...2-1

This team really likes to give the opposition a head start. Whether it games, series or whole seasons, this team constantly puts itself behind the 8 ball and then has to battle back. There's no quit in the team, but there's also almost no jump at the beginning of anything.

It's almost like Game 1 doesn't matter.

What happened to all of my messages? lol (I guess it's been awhile) BlueSky: StefBarnes
