"So incredibly flawed": Edmonton Oilers loss against Flyers marking third defeat in four games has fans irate

The Philadelphia Flyers cruised past the Edmonton Oilers with a commanding 4-1 win at home on Thursday. The Oilers have now lost three games out of four played.

It was yet another game early in the season in which the Oilers' defense and goaltending failed to keep the puck at bay. Their offensive unit, which was on display against the Preds, fell short of breaking the Flyers' defense, with only Zach Hyman scoring a goal for the team in the contest.

The Oilers sit sixth in the Pacific Division with only two points after four games. Meanwhile, the Philadelphia Flyers claimed their third win of the season and sit atop the Metropolitan Division with six points.

The Edmonton Oilers fans were disappointed with the level of performance their team displayed against the Flyers and took to X, formerly Twitter, to share their thoughts on the defeat.

One fan tweeted:

"This team is still so incredibly flawed its insane."

Here are some of the best reactions on X:

How did the Philadelphia Flyers beat the Edmonton Oilers?

The Philadelphia Flyers (1-3-0) hosted the Edmonton Oilers (3-1-0) at Wells Forgo Center on Thursday. The Flyers completely dominated the game and beat the Oilers 4-1.

In the first period, Joel Farabee put the Flyers on board after scoring from an assist from Bobby Brink to make it 1-0 at the 15:50 mark. The Flyers lead before the second period.

Coming into the second period, the Flyers continued to dominate on the ice. With three minutes into play, Cam Atkinson scored a goal off Owen Tippet's assist to give the team a two-goal advantage.

With five minutes remaining before the third period, Zach Hyman brought the Oilers back into the game to cut the Flyers' lead to 2-1. The Oilers had 12 shots on goal in comparison to the Flyers' 7.

In the final period, Atkinson scored his second of the night after maneuvering the puck past Jack Campbell off Tippet's assist to push the Flyers' lead to 4-1. However, the Edmonton Oilers got no chance to mount a comeback later that, resulting in yet another on-the-road loss for the team.
