The bubble team was bad. That's why they were 24th in the league at the time of the stoppage. Beating a one-trick pony Oilers team doesn't mean anything.
The 2015-16 team certainly had a chance to do some damage if they had gotten by St. Louis. It's really a shame they made that Weiss trade.

The last good team was when their top line was Arnason/Bell/Calder......man, that team put the fear of God in other teams
Agreed…I had tickets to the cancelled Montreal @ Chicago end of season game…both teams were out but the bubble tourney brought them both a second chance!

But this one is playing worse. If that isn’t a massive indictment I don’t know what is.

They’re better defensively and not getting blown out of games. The offense has no direction or creativity but at least they’re better in one area.
The roster last year had Tinordi, Megan, 19 year old Korchinski, and Zaitsev on our D core. We had Entwistle, Raddysh, and a bunch of other AAAA level bums out there on our forward lines.
They were scoring at something like a 1.70 GF/g with Bedard out and watching them live was some of the worst hockey I’ve ever seen.

This isn't it. Maybe it's your expectations or your memory of a year ago is wrapped, but they were awful offensively and defensively last year.
Last year at this team the team has 5 wins and multiple times they were shutout. They had like 3-5 games I'd call blowout losses by this time already. And that team got worse at parts during that season.
This year, I'd give the Canucks game that was about it for blowouts, and that game alone. They've been outchanced a lot but rarely giving constant grade a chances against like before, but a lot more boring low event chances have been the result.

They’re not better defensively. I don’t have the heat map but the front of the net was open all day today. They were outshot by 16 or 17.
The only reason this team is not getting blown out every game is because of Mrazek. You might mistake this team as good defensively if you box watch only.

Yeah…. Mrazek bailed them out all day and that was against a shitty Philly team no less.
Good teams play down to their level because they know how shitty they are.

Today they were blown away with chances. Most games haven't been this bad. They've moved to low 20s in xg goals against.
No it's not just goaltending. This was a bottom tier goals against team last year.

I guess it was more watchable in the sense expectations were lower and thus less frustrating when they were dog shit.
