What's even more staggering is that McDavid's line is getting well over 50% of the shots and goals against the best the other teams have to offer, while the lesser lights on our team get fed their lunch by the third and fourth lines of other teams. This game kicks off the softest stretch on the entire schedule. I think it's 12 or 13 of the next 15 games are against teams that are either in wild card positions or currently out of the playoffs. If the Oilers can't go .750 or better in this stretch, the season is done. I'm going to the game tonight and kills me to see that chart. Our D is decimated and not even that good if healthy. We have one line that can score. Maybe I throw my Hall jersey on the ice if we lose. I mostly wonder why Tyler picked white for Toronto and Detroit. Are their primary logo colors white? I feel like solid blue and red bars respectively would make more sense. The part where the Oilers are way below everyone else makes total sense.

It's a familiar place. Kind of like going home.

Can you imagine what a dumpster fire this team would be if we'd ended up with Dylan Strome or Noah Hanifin in that 2015 draft? I suppose the only saving grace would be that we probably wouldn't have traded Taylor Hall, but he'd be coming up on UFA pretty quick and would likely be desperate to be somewhere with a chance of success...
