You seriously can’t even make this up

So yes, we all know the Edmonton Oilers are off to a bad start, but this was the time to get some mojo back. Coming into tonights matchup the Oilers were 10-0-2 in their last 12 against Nashville and had already beaten them once this year. Perfect time to get the season turned around, right? Well, Ryan O'Reilly had other plans scoring a hat trick and technically, scoring two goals on ONE shift! I talk about it all in todays NHL hockey video!

Bullshit. You could see that it was possible. Just that no one would take you seriously.

Their training and management processes and culture need to change fast. Oilers culture cannot handle any setbacks and even the maina characters of their team look confused and irritated when they lose.

Are they not # 1 in some 5/5 stat? Lol u have no idea what ur talking about.

[@samuelluria4744]

So the team has to walk past a café with a glass wall, on the way to the locker room??? Bizarre.

[@timw4369]

Oilers will miss the playoffs and coach will get fired I called it before the season started

[@ironlungs10]

Its the same problems over and over for these guys the last DECADE! Spotty defense and sh*t goaltending. Never gets addressed. The gm just puts a band aid over it and hopes for the best

[@tivchannell]

Edmonton Oilers 🥰🥰🥰

[@Realistic316]

what is happening to the Oilers?

[@duaneday5474]

Lineup is mediocre on defense, grit, facoffs and goaltending. The Oilers don't have a checking line to shut down the opponents top line. McDavid and Draisaitl have too much ice time. They need to improve their two way game in order to be considered real contenders.

[@jasonjansen9831]

Nothing. They have maybe the two best offensive players in the world and nothing else. This is the result.

[@Realistic316]

@@jasonjansen9831 last year they were 2 games away from the conference finals lol

[@BobsUruncle-dl7cs]

They keep getting Submarined,look it up, 9 Coaches and 9 Systems and everything flying in the face of stats and numbers, clearly there is a massively powerful driver behind everything.....lol...lol...lol..who recently retired and was just sniping the Oilers out of the Playoffs but who decided to slamdance them out of the Playoffs like the old days for emphasis this year.

[@mikedonato2977]

They need a young Sid da Kid.

[@debuthunter5389]

No heart. No chemistry. No depth. Just 2 over-relied upon stars. Nothing else.

[@playbookshowme484]

They're on track for the prize they're best at, 1st over all

[@andrecs9079]

mcdavid wishes he could play against edm

[@joedog3865]

Mcdavid is the problem catering to his contract and ego he's not a team player if he was they'd be winning the guy is the most overrated hockey player I've ever seen he's a savant that drives to the net well that is all face the truth you need a whole team

[@slickmechanical]

This is the truth

[@cb4zz]

Doesn't have captain qualities imo

[@dliang4628]

Campbell thrived with Leafs was also fan favorite but just not with this Edmonton Oilosers team. Maybe Leafs can trade Martin Jones to bring Campbell back...

[@issme1286]

Why are the oilers and flames tanking

[@t2av159]

Toronto has been sucking lately too. Lost four straight. 2 in OT, 2 in regulation.(I'm a leaf fan)

[@wayne387]

I’m looking forward to Thursday game against the sharks
