Maybe I'm getting old and soft. But its hard not to feel sorry for some members of the Oilers fan base. I mean they have a flash of hope, like last years little playoff surge. like missing the playoffs 12 out of the last 16 years. Then getting to the semi's only for the Avs to beat the holy hell out of them. Then they hype their team only for them to come out to a dismal start where they can't do anything right.

Ok, I'm wrong I don't feel sorry for them after all of their self promotion. And hey did you see that most of the Oiler fans that flooded this threat over the summer have once again found a reason to vanish?

but when you look at that Oilers team, Oilers fans should feel that impending feeling of doom.

I mean out of their 16 goals, only 6 have been 5v5. While they have their usual strong pp their penalty killing is dreadful. like 72% dreadful.

Evander Kane, not great so far. Outside of Draisaitl and McDavid, for the most part nobody else is contributing.

their future derpth is lucking like a can of pineapples. Bouchard looks like hot trash, Holloway who was hyped as a solution to their lack of depth is far from ready for the NHL. Boberg garbage.

Campbell the so called vezina consideration goalie has been underwhelming.

Their systems look terrible. The miracle worker in their coach, is looking overwhelmed and was literally called out by their captain for lazy practices.

McDavid is starting to look like a hobo again, the Oilers are hoping their new jersey's aren't aerodynamically sound.

Oh and the vaunted center depth of McDavid, Draisaitl and Hopkins don't look so good. Hopkins has had his moment, but Draisaitl is spending more time on McDavid's line.

I've said in the past the NHL needs to bring back relegation so they can send the Oilers to the AHL where they might be competitive.

But their team is looking like garbage, smells like a 6 week old pizza and is oh so very much no good.
