I thought Skinner was good so it gives me hope they have something in him but from top to bottom, this league is so close, you can't give teams free ones like that. The team played lousy for 2 period but that gaff literally cost them at least 1 point. Thankfully given their extremely good start, you can live with it but it can't happen again.

With the team top 5 in shots against per game, it will 100% happen again. The depth is improved, but with the defensive issues, quiet nights for McD and Drai still could end up as losses more often than not.

I personally do not care that the Oilers give up a lot of shots, for me it's where they are coming from. Last night wasn't their best game but generally I don't think they are giving up a ton of quality chances. They have also in my opinion played a lot of teams who's game plan is to just throw everything at the net and hope something happens.
I also do not think the Oilers will ever play a defensive, shot suppressing style when they have McD and Leon running up and down the ice. McD and Leons lines flat out give up chances against. They always have, probably always will given their supreme offensive abilities and the style they play. McD in particular is a rush player. I don't think we will ever see McD's line grinding it in the corner and just cycling and cycling and chewing up clock until they finally bang it in. I think they could probably give up a few less shots but I think they will always give up lots given the players they have so I think for some fans to continually beat on this drum as a red flag is pointless because it's never going to happen. Not unless some fans want McD and Leon to completely alter their game, abandon their supreme offensive side and turn themselves into Patrice Bergeron or Toews in their primes. Those 2 were damn good, 2 way centers but the never came close to the offensive numbers that McD and Leon put up.
