During a morning practice session, the frustration within the team became evident. Oilers' goaltender Stuart Skinner, visibly upset, smashed his stick against the goalposts. His emotional exit from practice highlighted the mounting pressure.
In response to this incident, practice was abruptly cut short, with the team spending only about 20 minutes on the ice. This unexpected end to their practice has raised concerns within the hockey community and among fans.
