Dressing room
There is some hatred in the dressing room and nothing the coach can fix. the Oilers will not be making the playoffs unless it is a total miracle this year. too bad all of that talent with no one to show it to.

You can say that it is because they suck, but when you finish the game with 45 shots to their 23 or 24 (whatever it was) it is hard for the coaching to "bag skate" them at the next practice like you would do with a team that put no effort in.

Of course I do. The fact is the Oilers outshot the Predators 2:1 but the Grade A Chances were nearly in favor of the Predator 2:1. If that doesn't tell you what most people on here already know, keep thinking they are losing due to luck and tough breaks.

Salt helps....
Lots of it in fact...
I can't help but wonder what Calgary would have done with all those number one pics.
Has there ever been in a team in the history of pro sports that has failed so miserably with such luck in the draft?
I wonder how they compare to the Cleveland Browns for futility?

I know, we have a long ways to go. I am hating the stop and starts of this year. But its a great young base and nothing but good things on the horizon.

So, with the Oilers losing last game, is this going to be a 7-1 victory?

Perfect .500 hockey over the last 9 games. Don't know if I've ever seen such a streak.

Rarely do you see a bottom five team dominate so often.

Team has looked great the last couple games other than the latter half of the Nashville game. With Sekera also coming back here shortly, this could be a team that could go on a run.
Secondary scoring has been huge the past few games, too. McDavid went pointless tonight in a 5-3 game. Great seeing Drai's line and Nuge's line really doing work.
Also, I think Vlasic has to be one of the best defensive defencemen in the league, if honestly not the best. He's McDavid's kryoptonite.

Wow, identical SA% of 0.857% and 24 combined giveaways.
Looks like neither team wanted to win.
