Oilers fan living in Calgary,
Takeaways from tonight's #Oilers v Kraken

- Good: The offense awakens. Finally

- Good: McDavid decided to shoot, and Daccord looked like he was caught off guard on his first 2 goals. Daccord was expecting passes.

- Bad: Let's hope Clattenburg is ok.

Takeaways from tonight's #Oilers v Wild:

Bad: Wallstedt was amazing. I expect we will continue to hear the Wallstedt v Bourgault comments.

Good: Skinner .958 SV%, +.81 GSAx Only 1 goal in his last two games. He played well again.

Bad: Offense dried up. That is why we lost.

Takeaways from today's #Oilers v Kraken.

- Good: That is the Oilers we are used to

- Good: Shut out Skinner!

You can tell when Skinner is on his game. He was sucking up pucks everywhere. And always in position

Also the D supported him

That's what we've been waiting to see!!

Takeaways from tonight's #Oilers v Panthers

- Good: A W, and a regulation W as well

- Bad: Getting better, but still need to have a 60 minute effort

Road trip OVER. A 3-3-1 record on this trip. Considering all their issues, that's better than I thought it would be.

Damn....Takeaways from today's #Oilers v Lightning.

Bad: We lost
Good: Pickard, Team intensity. Lots

Losing this one really sucks, but they played with intensity, supported each other, and had great goaltending.

if they play like that, we don't have anything to worry about.

Ok, I don't know if Pickard will be woth the #Oilers by the end of the season. But that was the SAVE of the year!

Takeaways from tonight's #Oilers v Capitals:

- Bad: Defence started out bad, but Skinner let too many softies in

- Good: Offense continues to wake up, and it didn't seem like it was only 1 line.

- Good?: Ingram's save % is rising.

- Bad: Road trip is not over.

Takeaways from tonight's #Oilers v Hurricanes:

- Good: It's not 60 min, but the urgency and push is better.

- Good: Skinner with a .917 SV %. Stu won us that game.

- Bad: Defence. Better in the third. But wow, they can't get the puck out of their zone.

Still a win though!

Takeaways from tonight's #Oilers v Columbus

- Good: Urgency seems to be coming back. They almost came back to win

- Bad: I'm not sure how much longer Pickard has with this team. Yes, the defence shares blame, xGA were high. But the actual GA were higher.

Late Takeaways from tonight's #Oilers v Columbus

Good: McDavid's a miracle worker. Finally the team found life

Bad: Watching a game in person, I can see why the offense struggles. They prefer to pass instead of shooting on goal and they are bad at passing!

But a win is a win!

Early takeaways from #Oilers v Colorado:

- Tonight, the Oilers learned how far they are from being a good team. It's far

- I get the criticisms on Skinner. But blaming Skinner for this game is like complaining about a broken chair leg after your house burned to the ground

Takeaways from tonight's #Oilers v Dallas.
- We didn't even deserve a point. Take it and run.
- Skinner is better this year. Adding Moneypuck's xG chart for tonight. This didn't happen much last year.
- We are giving up far too many grade 'A' chances

Takeaways from tonights #Oilers v Blues

It just seemed like sloppy defence in our own zone tonight. I don't recall any horrid giveaways. Just difficulty clearing the zone, and getting to rebounds

And there seemed to be a lot of rebounds.
November 4, 2025 at 4:05 AM
Takeaways from tonight's #Oilers v Rangers

- Getting better is never a straight line
- Skinner seems to be regressing

I'm not in the 'Skinner has to go' group. He was good when the team sucked. He's earned some time to find his game. But he needs to improve. The clock is ticking.

Takeaways from tonight's #Oilers and Mammoth:

- Looks like the offense is back! It's been a long time since they had that 5+ goals in a period.

- Skinner still had 'that one goal'. But he was the better goalie tonight. That's all you can ask for.

Also, Sportsnet, be better!

Takeaways from tonight's #Oilers v Canucks game

- Roslovics best game as an Oiler. 1st on Oilers in shots and plus/minus

- Took awhile, but the top guys seemed to find their game.

- Still having trouble getting out of their own zone.

- Pickard needs to improve
October 27, 2025 at 5:50 AM
Takeaways from tonight's #Oilers v Kraken

- Shots are higher, but most seemed perimeter shots

- The 3rd period makes me think the Kraken are legit. Textbook shutdown hockey until Nurse's goal

- Can anyone play with McDavid and Draisaitl. I'm not sure Knoblauch thinks so
October 26, 2025 at 4:45 AM
Takeaways from tonights #Oilers v Ottawa.

- WIN!!!!!!!
- Not the best game, but at least it was exciting, and they won!
- Congrats to Howard with his first NHL goal!
October 22, 2025 at 1:40 AM
Takeaways from today's #Oilers v Detroit?

- Draisaitl's 'breakaway' sums up this game. Misplay after misplay

- The forwards need to shoot more.

- One good thing? They finally put Podz with Mcdavid and Draisaitl. I hope that sticks.

Takeaways from today's #Oilers v Devils.
- Too pass happy, as usual 😭
- They don't seem to adjust for different ice surfaces. NJ is known for not having the best ice. They need to simplify.

So much for not having an early season slump.
October 18, 2025 at 10:07 PM
Takeaways? For tonights #Oilers v Islanders game? Hmmm....

- a Bouchard special
- bad penalties
- a well deserved loss

That's the early season Oilers we haven't gotten this year, until now.

They better fix whatever that was by Saturday.

Takeaways from tonight's #Oilers v #NYR game:

The main criticism of Skinner: he can't steal you a win, and he always lets in 'that one goal'

Stu Skinner stole that game, and there were no goals scored against him.

Well done Stu! Shutout well deserved!

Takeaways from the #Oilers v Canucks

- There will be no early slump this year. the Oilers' play is great

- Pickard looks more confident in net this year. Great game

- Demko, if he plays like that all season, he's winning the Vezina
October 12, 2025 at 4:48 AM
Remember, be kind to #Leafs and #Flames fans today. Hoping McDavid would leave Edmonton is all they had.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Let's GO!!!!!!!!!
