JT Miller Destroys Leon Draisaitl With Huge Open Ice Hit

The Edmonton Oilers played their home opener yesterday against the Vancouver Canucks.

Coming off an 8-1 loss to the same Canucks earlier this week, many expected a major bounce-back performance by the Oilers.

It looked like they were going to have the upper hand, as they scored in the first minute of the game.

However, the Canucks came back and won the game 4-3.

To add fuel to the fire, Canucks' forward J.T. Miller completely destroyed Leon Draisaitl with a major open-ice hit.

This isn't how the Oilers planned the start of their season. They're now 0-2, and both games were played against a team that isn't even expected to make the playoffs.

The organization is hungry for a Stanley Cup. After a few disappointing losses in the playoffs, it's "Cup or Bust" in Edmonton.

The Oilers will look to bounce back and win their first game of the season on Tuesday night against the Nashville Predators.

Do you think the Oilers will win their next game?
