NHL | Score like a horror movie. Neither Edmonton nor McDavid have woken up yet – Sport.cz

0:6 with Winnipeg, 2:5 with Chicago, 1:4 with Calgary. And all at home in Rogers Place. Here are the Oilers’ decisions that make them the worst team in foreign competition right now. Were these candidates for an overall victory in June? He doesn’t want to believe it.

“It’s a new season. There are new players, others are gone. It’s not the same team and we have to figure out what style we want to play,” said veteran Corey Perry.

Against the Flames on Monday night, the machine seemed to have started a little. Dan Vladař’s main goal came after 76 seconds. But goalkeeper Perry was sent off for interfering with the play, while Derek Ryan’s goal was also disallowed for offside. After Rasmus Andersson’s equaliser, doubts entered the Oilers’ minds and they still have zero on their tally.

“There were a few bad rebounds, some goals were disallowed. In the end, it wasn’t enough. I have said before that each of us could be better. And I would start with myself. It’s not good to lose three times in a row since the beginning of the season, but it’s nothing we can’t get out of,” said captain Connor McDavid, who did not mature the against Vladar with five shots on goal.Statistically, the five-time Art Ross Trophy winner has only two assists and five points for the most productive player.

However, Edmonton fans remain calm for now, remembering fondly the start of last season, which their loved ones started with seven losses in eight games. And it wasn’t long until the coach Jay Woodcroft was packing, who was replaced by Kris Knoblauch. He was now mixing up the line a lot when, among other things, he dropped Ryan Nugent-Hopkins from the first formation and moved Skinner into him, but it didn’t make a big impact.

“We need to start playing better,” the coach sighed and looked at the goal area.Stuart Skinner has a success rate of 80.5 percent and Calvin Pickard 77.8 in it.

“If we knew the answers, we wouldn’t be standing here with an 0-3 record,” defenseman Darnell Nurse said. “Every time we’ve found ourselves in a difficult situation in the last few years, we’ve put our heads down and kept working. We took it day by day. That’s the approach we have to take,” he said, adding that the Oilers finished second last regular season and easily made the playoffs.

But maybe it’s time for a speech like we saw from McDavid in the documentary Faceoff: Inside the NHL, because in the words of Edmonton’s captain: “Such performances are not enough.”
