The Edmonton Oilers have had such a poor start this season that it is time for wins and it doesn’t matter how. The Oilers have started the season with 5 wins, 11 losses and 1 extra-time loss. From this point on in the season, there will be no more participation awards.

The Oilers have been struggling with consistency throughout the season. Their losses have been largely due to poor defense, which has allowed the opposition to score too easily. The team has also lacked the necessary firepower on the offensive end to create opportunities and finish them off.

The Oilers’ star players have not been performing up to their usual standards. Connor McDavid, the team’s captain and one of the best players in the league, has been held off the scoresheet in several games. Leon Draisaitl, the team’s other superstar, has also struggled to find the back of the net consistently.

Both Coach Jay Woodcroft and Kris Knoblauch have been trying various line combinations to spark the team, but so far, nothing seems to be working. The Oilers have been outplayed and outworked by their opponents in many games, and they have not been able to respond.

It’s not just the players and coaches who are feeling the pressure. Fans and media in Edmonton are becoming increasingly frustrated with the team’s lackluster performance. Many are calling for changes to be made, both on and off the ice.

Despite the team’s struggles, there is still hope for the Oilers to turn things around. The NHL season is long, and there are still many games left to be played. The team has shown flashes of brilliance in some games, and they have the talent to compete with the best teams in the league.

The Oilers need to start winning games, and they need to do it now. They cannot afford to fall more behind in the standings, especially in a tough division like the Pacific. The team must come together and find a way to win, no matter what it takes.
