What gives me some hope about the Oilers is other than the first game against Habs where they were completely outplayed, any of their losses, they were right there. They have split games against the Leafs and a couple of the Leafs wins they got goals from lucky plays or plays that won't happen ever again. The got some bad breaks in a few other games where pucks go off legs or asses or guys backs. They get a save or 2 more and they win a few games. The Flames game. Koskinen was flat out bad, Markstrom stood on his head and they still got 4 and were probably a little unlucky not to have a couple more in the first.
At the end of the day, they lost but they aren't losing because they are grossly outmatched, they are losing because a couple of plays or bounces didn't go their way, their goalie didn't give them a few extra stops but I do wonder if that was just flat out because he played so many games in a row and a few very correctable errors cost them.

Ya, I don't think this team is awful by any stretch, but I think the bar should be a little higher than, they aren't grossly outmatched every night. They've had some bounces go against them for sure, and they've also won one game against TOR in OT that could have gone either way (Marner had a point blank chance with about 10min to go when the game was tied), and a game against WPG where they were losing until they scored 2 goals in the last 3 minutes, so it goes both ways.
They're basically tied with Calgary for the final playoff spot. It would be a disaster for this team to not make the playoffs given the season that McDavid & Drai are having.
Like I said, I'm circling March 6th as a good time to re-visit what this team is.

Agreed with this. It's a little frustrating that we are where we are at, because the holes on the team were blindingly obvious last summer and management decided to ignore them and hope for the best. With those two players on the top of their game, it's unforgivable to have a year where they're not a contender...not making the playoffs should just be a ground level base expectation.
