It was a sloppy affair from start to finish. The Edmonton Oilers looked like they were coming off some sort of Stanley Cup hangover. From start to finish, the team looked unprepared and quite disjointed. With that being said, we can cut them some slack considering it's only the first game of the season.
Although the game was a disappointing affair, Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid shared his thoughts on what went wrong
While it's a far cry from falling behind 3-0 in the Stanley Cup Final, there is still a feeling of urgency for this team to start the season off on the right foot, especially considering what happened out of the gates a year ago, when a 2-9-1 start led to the unenviable scenario of undergoing a mid-season coaching change.
The Oilers will look for a major bounce back when they take on the Chicago Blackhawks tomorrow night.
