A drowsy Oilers squad allowed three goals inside of the opening three minutes of action against the Penguins on their way to a 6-2 loss. It only took 37 seconds and four shots for the Penguins to find the game-winning goal. What opened the floodgates for Pittsburgh? Did the Oilers really play that badly in Leon Draisaitl's return? What's next for Edmonton? Hosts Hernan Salas and Joaquin Gage have a fiery edition of the show, leaving no stone unturned from the game last night. Sloppy defensive zone play, shaky goaltending, and poor special teams left the guys to present more lowlights than highlights during Highlights/Lowlights. And to have a bit of fun, Hernan and Joaquin bring in producer Zach Kubusch to test his might during Zach to the Future. Nothing but 80s and 90s-based questions in a tough test for the young Koob…
