1. Not so good. Ha ha I was able to watch the game on prime. We were not the best. Thanks Patrick.

2. Oilers could not have played much worse after a great game last night!
   PK worst in the league
   Goaltending worst in the League
   PP near the bottom
   And to top it off, too many players in this League will never play for Stan Bowman!
   We’re not in a good situation at all.

3. So after 1 game on Prime. I hope the Oilers games never on there again. The commentators are dull and boring and the 2 women doing intermission. Honestly looked like they didn't belong. Sportsnet is better

4. looking at the shot count – Draisatl didn't have one single shot.

5. Prime feed was different for sure did not mind it at all. Missed all the regular broadcasters of course but some different shots in the warmup with no commentary was cool. Was working on my Oilers wall in my living room and not paying attention as much after 2 – 0 . Just had a feeling where this game was going and I was right. Wall turned out great and the game not so much hah! No clue why their insane top pp the last few years absolutely sucks now!!! Makes zero sense. I wish we picked up Jake A a few years ago when their were talks we may be after him. Work at 530am stayed up waiting for your post game video Patrick haha

6. Stick with the Optimistic mode For Now

7. My problem with trade is that they didn't package Josh Brown and Derek Ryan with Gleason and get a forward like Morgan Frost out of Philly

8. Managed to watch the first period and half of the second and had to switch to radio and listen to Jack. Good start but no finish. PP still too many highlight passes. PK looks dazed and confused. Two x Halifax Mooseheads I watched as Juniors looked good as well as Dawson Mercer. Time to park this one and get ready for the knights. Good luck to Gleason. Thanks for the update

9. They seemed to move the puck well down ice. Lots of shots but no luck around the net. They still need to finish at the net better.

10. R. Attard is an incredible name.

11. My god nurse pushes guy into pickard puck goes in, instead of going after the guy Darnell decides to get the puck wtf was that!! So some emotion nurse , Noah gets 10 mins of ice while the floater Adam and Nuge and Evan gets all this ice time and not a one hits or scores goals brutal and 5 hits come on brutal and embarrassing loss !!

12. I got shut out by Amazon. I already had Prime. No problem right? Wrong. Clicked on the icon for the game. My response? 'It's not here'. 'Let's take you to a great video'. That's a real good solution. Duh. No matter what I tried no luck. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know. Might just cancel my Prime. Last year Oilers played 107 games including playoffs. I missed two. They were on NHL Network. Now I have NHL Network. Thanks to the NHL's greed I have already missed two games in less than a month. NHL doesn't care about the fans. Just cares about the money. Amazon will pay the league whatever so some of the games go to Amazon leaving some of the fans having to pay for yet another service provider. Counting Prime, if I can get it work, I'll have games on five different channels. ESPN+ best of all. You can get replays there if you can't see the game at the original start time. Would be nice if the NHL just had its own channel. Tune in to NHL.com and there would be a listing of that night's games. Click on the icon for that game and there you go. No bulls**t. Dream on. Never happen.

13. Nobody outshoots teams and loses more than we do . Its so frustrating. We have the worst puck luck too.

14. Bouchard stinks this year hes not worth more the 6mil tops

15. If the oilers were the better team overall…they would have won lol…

16. We arent hard to play against. Without vincent dehjarnis or Kane, we arent hard difficult. We arent getting pushed around by western conf teams but when we dont make toughness a priority we arent winning the closer games. We cant have Perry be the only one being tough.

    Lets see if Vegas we can get up for it.

    I miss Vincent and Broberg. Big losses.

    Offense is a problem. Hope we can start turning it around. We are looking like an old team

17. Long post follows with base game statistics including some for the New Jersey Devils. Read, don't read, up to you. These are BASE stats not detailed ones. My comments and observations at the end.

    Surgery still postponed so here are some stats. Again, I can't watch the games but I can listen to them and do the summary stats. What follows is my opinion, lack of tact and all. Disclaimer: Rant Follows and it won't be pretty.

    So the OILERS LEARNED NOTHING. They had 5 hits. FIVE HITS. They had 9 blocks. NINE BLOCKS. They gave away more too. The PK let the one PP chance NJ had in and our PP couldn't score. Our team couldn't score. Yes, NJ has a BIG defense (think the shortest guy is 6 foot 2 and most are in the 6 foot 4 to 6 foot 6 range). Yes Allen was great in net BUT the guys simply weren't finishing the opportunities they had. NST said the Oilers had 13 High Danger Chances to the Devils 6 but they just couldn't find the twine. Just look at the base stats, Hyman, Nuge, and Skinner were -2. Four of the six D were -1.

    P I T I F U L. Say it with me now. This is not the type of effort that's needed to win in the NHL. You have to block, you have to disrupt plays with hits. You have to SCORE. If you don't have guys willing or able to do it GET GUYS WHO WILL. It has to happen during the regular season not just the playoffs folks as you won't make the playoffs if you don't during the season. Bouchard had 4 blocks by himself and everyone else is puttering along. They need a spanking for that game in my opinion because they were babies.

    Obligatory Excuse for Those That, Apparently, Rely on Them: Oh but it was a back to back. Guess what, you get back to backs. You didn't have to travel far (coming from Calgary) so it's not like it's across the continent or something, suck it up.

    Thanks for your time and consideration of this rant, I hope you appreciated it as much as I did, my stress level is way down and even the dogs want to be around me again (lol). Take care all.

18. Gleason can play in the NhL.

19. Hello to you Patrick and all Oilers. I feel sad, couldn't see the match because of not having an Amazon prime account and will not do so cause I payed enough for my sky sports abo! We lost 0:3 and it shows us from my point of view that if Drai not scoring we can't win when McD isn't on the ice too!!! Hyman and Nuge are not in that form as last season, sorry, and defense shows enough point to be solved soon. I hope, we will be prevented from buying each game from a different provider in the future, in Europe we have to on football, so it is most expensive to follow your team in all competitions!!! Not the right way for me!!! Cheers to all from Germany

20. I did not mind the Prime broadcast. I got word from Sportsnet + that it is going up to $25/month starting in January. I dud miss Jack, Louie and Gene though.
