How did the team do on any given night? Look no further. The Post Game reports are dedicated to breaking down each hockey game with news, notes, boxscores, and analysis. If the Oilers win, we’ll celebrate like champions. If they lose, we’ll all complain about what went wrong together.
Game 82! It’s over. This isn’t the season anyone wanted, but it’s done. Now we can return to hoping they finally get things right, make the necessary changes in management, and surround Connor McDavid with the talent he god damn deserves. McDavid’s injury is pretty much the exact thing you don’t want to happen in…
The final game of the season in Rogers Place concludes. Oilers lose 3-2.
The Oilers played a pretty solid, uhhh, 10-or-so minutes last night. Unfortunately, NHL games are *checks notes* 60 minutes long, so the Avalanche walked away with an easy win.
At least the first period was fun? Final Score: 6-2 Avalanche
Bring on the draft lottery! Final Score: 3-1 Golden Knights.
The best part of that game was probably the final buzzer. Final Score: 5-1 Ducks
Last night showed the difference between the Stars are Oilers, one team who ground their way into the playoffs and another team on the outside looking in. The Stars survived an onslaught of pressure from the Oilers in the middle of the game and came back from a two-goal deficit before winning in the shootout.
Damn you, Khudobin! Damn you! Final Score: 3-2 Stars in the shootout
Jonathan Quick is a great houseguest and we’d have him over again any time. Final Score: 8-4 Oilers
At least the Senators are one of the league’s best, right? Final Score: 4-3 Senators in overtime
Were the Oilers good? Or are the Blue Jackets just bad? It’s hard to say, but the Oilers nicely executed a defensive shell to shut down the Blue Jackets before a third-period explosion that led to a commanding 4-1 victory.
What kind of paperwork do we need to fill out to play Columbus every night? Final Score: 4-1 Oilers
