John Shannon and Daren Millard are joined by Bob Stauffer on 100% Hockey to break down the Edmonton Oilers’ first-round playoff loss.
Stauffer walks through where things unraveled, pointing to injuries down the middle, inconsistent goaltending, and a penalty kill that couldn’t hold up in key moments. He explains how the team never found the kind of sustained momentum that defined previous seasons, and why that ultimately caught up to them in the playoffs.
The conversation also shifts to the bigger picture in Edmonton, including the organization’s approach to roster construction and player development, and what responsibility falls on management after another early exit. With Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl still in their prime, the question becomes how long the window stays open and how patient that core can afford to be.
