The good teams consistently beat the bottom feeders, that's where they can rack up the points to become 100+ point teams and top playoff seeds. Are the Oilers a good team yet? LA has no business beating the Oilers tonight which is probably why it feels like guaranteed loss night for the Oil. I think I have DODPTSD.
(Decade of Darkness post-traumatic stress disorder)

Until we make the playoffs I don’t think it can be considered “post” trauma. Things could go sideways in about 4 games (or one injury).

That's a fair point, the trauma is current and ongoing. I don't have a clever acronym for that, I only know that my relationship with the Oilers has been bordering on emotionally abusive for some time now. I'm really trying to enjoy the ride so far this year.

Larsson/Russell is apparently a pairing tonight...so that might be traumatic to watch all on its own...That hasn't been the best when they've been paired before.

Larsson couldn't possibly be worse than Manning, I hope....

Excellent point. It's shocking that we're this far in to the season and Manning is still on the roster.

I can't stand Manning either but I would be curious to know how much of having Manning on the roster had to do with a plan to keep Jones down as long as they could?

A lot of people had Jones as an automatic on the Oilers, yet he wasn't that great in camp and was sent down. I heard an interview with him when he was called up and he said he took the demotion hard, took him a little bit to get over it. Then before the call up he was the best dman by a mile down there and was playing excellent and had been for most of the season. I think Manning is borderline useless and he's played more than I ever expected but even playing him in 9 games, the Oilers are first in their division, tied for first in the West and if giving Jones a month and a half to figure his game out and do that last bit of developing that he needed, it maybe paid off. It's only been 3 games so far but he's been pretty rock solid so far.

If he can keep it going and be anything close to Bear, it might open some options sooner rather than later to unload a dman for some forward help. I don't think you can get rid of a bigger contract mid season but what about a Benning? If Jones keeps going and makes it so you can't take him out, could you package Bennings who's a pretty solid right shot, 3rd pairing guy who doesn't make much for that 3rd line center they could use?

2 goals. Manning has been on the ice for 2 goals against (and 1 goal for) in 9 games. He hasn't been bad. I know I've said this at least 3 times, but nobody will listen.

Ah so he’s a minus player.

You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you just might find, you can get a lottery pick.
