Ah, the much lauded Oilers start. High pressure, ready to go from the puck drop, just ready to take the game to the opponent.
Or, in reality, get crushed early and play catch up the rest of the game. This start is peak Oilers hockey.

I often wonder if Bouchard is actually worth the offence he provides.
He constantly deflates this team. He will never change at this point.

Sweet touch by 14 on that 3-1. Looks like he's in playoff form!

Let's hope not. Having one of the most dominant defenceman in the history of the NHL playoffs is pretty nice.
Then again they may not need to worry about that this year if they aren't careful.

I definitely worry more about our 9.25M that doesn’t bring another level for playoffs.

3-0 early in the game.
Don’t pick a fight. Don’t run anybody. Allow teammates to get boarded.
Try desperately for that tap-in goal. That’s what was needed.

At this point I will be elated if they get past the 2nd round. This team is not as good as last years team.
And yeah. I’m glad Bouchard isn’t an Olympian.

Watching Mangy Pangy this season, I'm actually stunned this guy has played 543 NHL games.

They didn’t even play the game. Couldn’t script a more embarrassing display for skinners return. Just quickly set a franchise record for fastest 3 goals against by not even trying at all. This team …

There are some players on this team, but most of these guys are total duds.

This might be the worst game I've ever seen Mcdavid play.

If you can’t have an ultra fancy PP goal, why even bother, right? I’m now at the point that I hope the Pens blow them out hard.
The need to learn.
Still..

5 goals on 18 shots so far.
Not all on Jarry, but that pad stacking, paint the rainbow, half barrel roll save Jarry made Tuesday, feels like it was a month ago already.

Pens on a heater lately. We have been in the pooper most of the year.

Ladies and Gentlemen.. your 2026 Edmonton Oilers..
the 1-0 .. Bouchard totally clueless as the forward skates past him to tap in the goal.. he saw the forward coming in at teh blueline.. ignores the guy.. then stands in front of his net .. Ekholm gets a man.. Bouchard just stands there .. covering.. no one.. watching the opposite corner. And Stauffer can't fathom why Team Canada didn't select Bouchard for the Olympics .. 
Turned it off at 3-0
See now its 6-2 .. Bouchard is a hefty -3 .. Nurse at even ? ? ?

This team is worse than last year..
Minus some solid players;
Connor Brown
Corey Perry
Klingburg (quarterbacking SJ's PP)
Kane
and then minus guys like Arvidson, J. Skinner .. no big loss.. but we haven't replaced them with anyone better..
Only good replacement this year has been Rozlovic.
.. and yeah Bouchard on the Olympic team is laughable.
