Frolik looks so lost out there. Like he has no clue what he’s supposed to be doing. Reminds me of a dog chasing a car.

Optional skate was this morning. I can see guys may had a little party last night. Not sharp at all.

I think I've heard "shot is wide" a few too many times tonight for NHL players, even though they do have 31

No question.

However, Andersson looked at that mess of bodies and simply passed the puck right into it, turning it over and sending Reaves in all alone.

Despite all that, Rittich should have had it.

I'm a Bennett defender, but that collision with Janko might be his only noticeable "hit" of the first 5 games.

If Bennett isn't contributing offensively he should be a wrecking ball.

Talbot, Lucic, and Reider. They poached the worst players from the worst team.

That’s not really how rest works. If he plays tonight he may not be fresh tomorrow, no matter how long his break was before that.

The team is clearly talented as documented by the third period in LA and Dallas. Theyre just not ready to start on time. Not engaged. Need a wake up call.

Gio-Brodie have too much chemistry to be broken up. Kylington needs back in for stone.

The bottom six needs a shake up. Janko is bad. Lucic is not middle six quality

Exactly.

Has that even happened in pro sports??

A team that gets embarrassed just brings everyone back except 2 minor role players.

I realize they tried and failed to get kadri but damn man what was plan frigin b?

What message does that send when the names of the playersyou were willing to kick to the curb, were made public, and are still here.

This craptastic start by Jankowski is just as much on treliving as it is on the young player.

If this team has a large regression, this offseason should be enough to fire treliving. I have no idea why they extended him at the end of such a garbage offseason by a gm.

Am I the only one that remembers we started last season pretty horribly for the first 10 games, but then finished second overall?

What’s worse though?
3 ex-oilers one who hasnt even played yet or the fact that Reider and Lucic have been less of a train wreck than most of our guys..

We have just way too many completely invisible players... Bennett, Jankowsky, Reider, Ryan, Stone, Frolik... This not a good roster, sorry.

I cringed when I saw the way Tkachuk fell on that defender. Real glad nobody got hurt there.

Lucic has played 25% more than Tkachuk tonight.
