Having reflected upon the last 5 games I'm happy to report I'm upgrading my views on the Oilers from awful to probably aren't awful. I still think they have some deep flaws on the ice (and in the organization) but the fact is they've won 8 of 11 and looked decidedly not awful for the vast majority of those games. I can still quibble about some things, but I have very few specific items to complain about right now. It makes Oilfans and OilersX a little less fun, but the hockey games are better.

I believe I predicted this prior to Woody's dismissal. Said they're outplaying teams many of these nights, so even a stretch of not awful goaltending and they probably get a good winning streak or two.
I have never believed this isn't a playoff team - just think A) the firing of the coach wasn't super impactful - this would have happened regardless and B) that as built, we can't win the Cup. They need a goddamn goalie. Skinner doing better is nice to see, but he isn't the answer.

I think your prediction wasn’t a reach and many fans believed the same thing.
On the bright side the firing has been good for Manson. He’s back home with his family celebrating his first Christmas since his wife passed.
