Connor McDavid Calls Out The Teams Horrendous Goaltender Following Embarrassing Loss
Oilers in Disarray: A Night to Forget
In a performance to forget, the Edmonton Oilers experienced a complete unraveling against the Vancouver Canucks. Late in the game, both on the ice and on the bench, the Oilers lost their composure, leaving fans and pundits perplexed.
The chaos began when Oilers superstars
Connor McDavid and
Leon Draisaitl got into heated altercations with Canucks' star players JT Miller and
Quinn Hughes. The confrontations only added to the mounting frustration. Draisaitl received a 10-minute misconduct.
Things took a turn for the worse when head coach Jay Woodcroft received a game misconduct for unsportsmanlike conduct and walked off the bench, leaving his team behind.
The Oilers ultimately suffered a 6-2 loss, marking their third defeat against the Canucks this season. The game's aftermath was marred by a litany of excuses from Woodcroft, leaving many to question his leadership.
Even Connor McDavid, known for his composure, expressed his frustration, particularly with the team's goaltending. He didn't hold back, highlighting the glaring issue.
"No one's in here is saying, 'We've got to turn more pucks over, or give up more two-on-ones and three-on-twos.' But for whatever reason, they're going in. They're going in off us, they're going in every which way."
It's quite clear these comments are directed towards the goaltending to make a save..
McDavid's sentiments echoed the frustration of fans and teammates alike. The Oilers have been stuck in a recurring pattern this season, starting off well but faltering after conceding early goals.
As tensions rise, there's growing speculation about Woodcroft's future. The upcoming game against the struggling San Jose Sharks on Thursday could be his last game in Edmonton if they suffer a loss to the Sharks, who have lost all 11 of their games all year.
