The Edmonton Oilers struggles continue, and the comments after their 5-2 loss to the Nashville Predators are a cause for concern.
Captain Connor McDavid expressed his frustration with the team's poor start to the season, saying,
"it's just death by a thousand cuts, you know, that's what it feels like. One little mistake and it costs us, another little mistake and it snowballs. Like I said, it's tough to chase games."
These remarks indicate the mounting pressure on the Oilers and the toll it's taking on their star player.
The Oilers need a turnaround, and it needs to happen quickly. Questions arise about potential coaching and management changes. It appears that changes are necessary to reignite the team's motivation and save the season.
