With Smith back we looked half decent at the back, but we did that last year too, till we got to the play in's. Hopefully with the shorter season and perhaps a chance over the next month or two to even the games played out we'll get a chance if we reach the post season.
I'd forgot about the fights early on, but two technical infringements were the only plays that led to a power play against tonight, so no stupid trips or hooks by anyone which is a start. Plus it seems that the second call on Larson was wrong, but couldn't be called back. More of this and we will give ourselves more of a chance going forward.
Got to say that JP is playing really well for no reward and seems to be getting better with each game of late. Dare I say that he's starting to be the player we thought we were drafting, all be it without the points at the moment?
That first period on Saturday was very good, but we fell apart afterwards, today whilst not being as good was closer to 60 minutes of consistent hockey, and yeah it was against the Sens, but we can build on it going forward now.

You really can't judge Smith based on the game against Ottawa. He didn't fail, but that's about all you can say in a game against an opponent so weak. We now have three different wins against the Sens with three different goalies, and both Smith and Koskinen looked decent, but really weren't that challenged.
Smith is still ultimately the same guy who has been around .900 or worse the last couple seasons, and now he's a year older. It's really really unlikely that he's going to have a renaissance, even if he has a good game sometimes. I really hope that the Oilers brass understands that, but I have little faith that they do. I would still be pulling out all the stops to get a better goalie this year, and as soon as I could if I was the GM.
That said, it's nice to win again and hopefully they can do it again tomorrow and pull above .500 for the first time this season. You do hope that they don't get cocky up 3-0 in the season series, and outscoring the Senators 15-8...
