Leon Draisaitl Looking Frustrated When Talking About The Oilers Struggles

Oilers had pretty good goaltending last night, but through the month they didn't get the key saves that every winning club depends on.

hahaha poor you. they'll go down as the greatest duo to never win a cup. best to peace out.

Tyson Barrie= worst d in league

WGAF

They need a goalie

The oilers will be fine ok . Everyone be quit and leave the players alone . Nobody tells us to do our job . The boys will be back all we have to do is keep it as loud as we can from the first second to the last . That's it . We have the best players . End of story .

Paying McDavid 13.5 million with the cap hit and no luxury tax was the undoing of the Oilers.

I feel for you Leon, our team does suck and continues to suck. Sometimes being an oiler fan is like continually being kicked in the mouth by a close friend

Quit on Koskinen

I’m honestly tired of people complaining about secondary scoring on the oilers. It’s such a casual take tbh. If you actually watch the games, watch how tippet roles the lines. He will often role the first and second where their shifts are 1:30-2 minutes, then the third will hop on for 30-45 seconds until the first hops back on the ice. The 4th line barely plays and I think rack up 5-6 minutes total ice time. I might be a bit off on my numbers but principal is the same. Also, tippet will play the first power play unit for all 2 minutes. That second power play unit has seen a combined 3 minutes of power play time and that’s isnt an exaggeration. Next, tippet always stacks up mcdrai after penalty kills and for the last 5 minutes of most games. Blaming the secondary scoring I feel is only really justified if their depth scoring actually got more time on ice.

Also tippet is blind when it comes to finding chemistry and assessing talent to put into the line up. The oilers bottom 6 shuffles every. Single. Game. Tippet never allows players to get accustomed with each other and build chemistry. For example tippet never plays benson and McLeod together despite them being on the best line in the ahl together last year.

Also, tippet continues to play Kyle Turris in the bottom 6 who at this point in his career is about as useful as a cow on its side.

That’s an accurate description of our depth issues. Limited Ice time, limited chemistry, and poor line up choices. This is coming from a life long oilers fan not Someone who glances at the states and makes a statement…

Edit: also if you are an oilers fan take a look at the 5 on 5 offence. The oilers NEVER battle for position in the slot. They have a cycle the works along the boards but never only sometime has a net Front presence when in the O zone. It’s a coaches system that has been implemented that simply work… feel free to Challenge me in the replies🤷🏼‍♂️

Leon is the man bro keep your head up you are truly one of the greats

Maybe they can tank again for 8 years and finish their team
