The start of this new season for the Edmonton Oilers has been nothing short of a disaster. No one expected this outcome, from the Oilers' management to the coaching staff, the players, and the fan base. The hype for this team was quite high after coming off a strong finish in last year's season, which led to a second-round exit by the Vegas Golden Knights.
It will take a concerted effort from all the players and the coaching staff to identify the problems and work on resolving them. Many fans have used the X platform and other social media outlets to express their desire for a coaching change or major trades that could help improve the team's balance and potentially lead to better results.
General manager Ken Holland believes that this team deserves a second chance at pursuing another Stanley Cup run as a group. However, so far, this season has been a failure, and since it is still early in the season, there is an opportunity to make corrections and get things back on track.
