Like after every loss, Edmonton Oilers fans will be quick to dissect what went wrong. It’s no surprise, as the fanbase has high expectations and standards, and when they are not met, they will be vocal about it.

After Edmonton took a 6-4 beating by the Anaheim Ducks on Wednesday night, that’s what happened. Fans stormed social media to express their displeasure with the team’s performance, taking aim at star players and the coaching staff.

Knoblauch is being categorically outcoached and outclassed and nobody is talking about it. Special teams, 5 on 5 rush, usually strengths of the Oilers have been obliterated all series. Quenneville is eating him alive. – Leon wetsaitl via X

I’d start Jarry in game 3 but I’m pretty sure Knoblauch has banished him already. Ingram gave up 2 garbage rebounds in game 1 then 3 bad goals in game 2. Needs some kind of reset. – Oilingoal via X

Drai-Pod-Kap line is the first line right now. They need to be with Bouchard. Whatever Mcdavid is doing needs to be figured out now. The depth is what is consistent with this team and the coaching doesn’t what to rely on it.

Can people accept that mcdavid is playing fine and maybe the Anaheim D and back pressure are doing an exceptional job at defending him? They’re locked in on him so hard that it’s opening up opportunities for other lines. He’s fine. His points will come
