Sometimes miracles
I have;
Top-6 - Great, Leon is doing an MVP thing, McDavid will likely get to 130 points, Podkolzin is killing it and the other guys are coming around after some injuries.
Bottom-6 - Has been good, need a bit more consistency, but a lot of positive contributions out of the group.
Defense - Has been Great, truly. Nurse has played like a top pairing guy, Ekholm has continued to play like a #2A, Kulak has become a bonified top-4 defenseman, and Stetcher and Emberson have really solidified their spots. Bouchard needs to clean up and pick it up, but honestly this group has been great.
Goaltending - Has be Mediocre, Skinner has picked it up a lot lately, but Pickard is trending toward AHL goalie, which I don't love. Need more here.
The team overall has been great, the have the best record an Oilers team has had since 86-87, they're very good and still have room to improve.

Rebooting myself
Because goals win games I am looking at the spread out of scoring (going into tonight's game)
Drai 31 goals
McDavid 16 goals
Hyman 13 goals after a slow start
Bouchard/ Skinner 7
--Problem is that Skinner sucks in his own zone and unless you are on pace for 30 to 40 goals it is a problem
Ekholm/Perry/Brown 6 goals each
Henrique/Kulak/Arvidsson-- Like Hyman, Henrique got off to slow start--both him an Arvedsson are good two way players but have had trouble soring goals. Arvedsson got injured again and that was the concern when we signed him--he has missed 15 games--Hopefully he manages to stay healthy for the rest of the season
Kasperi Kapanen/Vasili Podkolzin are the two surprises for me so far with 4 goals a piece.
Nurse with 4 goals
But the problem is in net. Both Skinner and Packard went into tonight's game sporting a .895 save % and the just is not good enough
Oilers are 10th in scoring and 8th in goals given up
Drai 31 goals
McDavid 16 goals
Hyman 13 goals after a slow start
