You could see Tippett's adjustments from game one were for the team to not play, just go stand in front of Kostinem and let McDavid take care of the offense.
Demko wasn't sharp enough for the full sixty in his first game, so McPointless in game one found a way to squeak in a few while the rest of the team played hunker down in front of Kostkinem and ride it out till the storm is over. Larsson even spent an entire penalty kill on his stomach beside the net like an 8 year old who can't play defense in NHL21.
With their only strategy of collapsing four in front of Kostinem while Draisaitl or McDavid sit at center ice and McDavid needing hat-tricks every night, this team is basement bound.

I went and looked at the ESPN shot cart, and jesus christ the Oilers allow a ton of shots from the high slot to right in front of their net.
