The Oilers look far better to start this season then last, especially the last 3 games. I hope they can keep playing like that.
Sadly, I have to agree with all of this!Oilers will be fine in the context of making the playoffs as long as mcdavid stays relatively healthy.
Oilers fans usually disagree with me when i point at their holes, but the truth is that they have always had big holes and their management has had years of poor decisions.
But they got mcdavid who is a flat out superhero who just might by chance mask all the ineptness.
Oilers are like a video gamer who has access to the ultimate cheat code, but still can't finish the game.
A big part of their playoff run was how good their PK was as well. That wasn't sustainable and many of those PKers are gone.Oilers will be fine in the context of making the playoffs as long as mcdavid stays relatively healthy.

The Oilers had a terrible PK and started the season 2-9-1 with guys like Foegele, Holloway, and McLeod on the team and none of those guys were very good in the roles they played in the playoffs either, which is one of the reasons the Oilers lost. 7 games in and people are already throwing in the towel.
Ceci would be nice to have. He only had 1 season left on his contract and I think they could have fit that in. I do think Emberson has some potential though so we will see how that goes. Desharnais I wouldn't pay 2 million a season for. He is good on the penalty kill but I don't view him as an ideal full time top 6 d-man 5 on 5.Desharnais and Ceci?
Coaching staff and system are working in his skill sets favor.I don’t remember in Edmonton Broberg playing with the type of confidence he has now
Dude is out her toe dragging and rushing the puck
Dude visited some sort of sports counselor or meditation guru
Players and management probably think otherwise, they want to win.The Oilers look far better to start this season then last, especially the last 3 games. I hope they can keep playing like that.
