After a deep Stanley Cup Playoffs run a year ago, the Edmonton Oilers were expected to start this season hot, but unfortunately for them they've come away with three straight defeats to start the year. On Sunday, the team lost their third straight game on home ice, this time to their biggest rival in the Calgary Flames, and it's clear the frustration is growing, with veteran Corey Perry calling his team out after the game.
Now, captain Connor McDavid has done the same thing after the team has scored just three goals through three games, noting where the team have struggled early in the season and why it's costing them games.
The team have struggled all over the ice, with the Oilers allowing 15 goals in that time while tallying just three, and while they started slow and turned it around a season ago, the warning signs are there for this team to struggle in a big way this season. The Battle of Alberta with the now 3-0-0 Flames wasn't expected to go this way, but with McDavid not making much of an impact and the team looking tired, this isn't the ideal start for the Oilers, and with several veterans calling the team out, things need to change very soon.
