Paul Bissonnette is not on the Oilers bandwagon right now based on some roster decisions and style of play, and he ripped their hopes of a deep playoff run. Bidding farewell to <a href='https://www.msn.com/en-ca/sports/nhl/florida-panthers-defeat-edmonton-oilers-to-win-stanley-cup/ar-BB1oPlXk?ocid=00000000' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>a loss last year in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final,</a> the Edmonton Oilers were looking for great things for their 2024-25 season. With playoffs looming, though, NHL radio commentator and podcaster <a href='https://x.com/BizNasty2point0' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Paul Bissonnette</a> isn't pulling any punches as much, considering he's firing shots across the bows of the organization and its future. The Oilers met the Florida Panthers in seven games of the Final last year, a promising start after years of desperation. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/EdmontonOilers/status/1805434725114560769'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> Everybody was waiting for them to continue the momentum, with some questioning if they would even make a push for a championship. But their season to date hasn't been nearly as dominant as one would have forecasted. Standing third <a href='https://www.nhl.com/standings/2025-04-02/wildcard' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>in the Pacific Division</a> now, Edmonton plays the LA Kings in the first round pending a last-minute end-of-season divisional standings upset. <h3>Bissonnette doesn't believe the Oilers will go as far this year in the playoffs</h3> However, no-nonsense hockey personality Bissonnette, who also regularly features on the phenomenally popular podcast 'Spittin' Chiclets', believes that they're just not ready yet. I think that Edmonton needs to get healthy, and things need to start going in the right direction for them, Bissonnette said. They need to figure out their f-king goaltending and stop getting their players stolen with offer sheets. On a recent podcast, BizNasty was not afraid to say anything, blasting the roller-coaster form of play by the Oilers, especially without super-star captain Connor McDavid out injured. I feel like Edmonton got smaller, slower, and older in the offseason, Biz said. Say what you want about how Skinner's played lately-he's been a little better. Nugent-Hopkins has turned the corner. But look at the list of guys they lost. They lost Foegele and the list goes on. Then they replaced them with the Arvidssons, the Skinners-smaller players. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/spittinchiclets/status/1907036575449403458'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> Bissonnette also ripped apart <a href='https://www.hockeylatest.com/nhl-team/edmonton-oilers/former-oilers-player-sparks-controversy-with-bashing-comments-about-edmonton-in-leaked-video' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>some of the team's off-season losses,</a> especially the ones of Philip Broberg, Dylan Holloway, and Warren Foegele, which, in his view, have robbed Edmonton of some depth.
