Is that MAF’s music??!!


How do you fit him in under the salary cap? And assuming part of that is Koskinen going the other way, is Fleury/Skinner better than Koskinen/Skinner? I don't think that's clear with the start to the season that MAF has had this year:

SV% - .892
GAA - 3.81
Record - 2-7-0

He's facing about 32 shots a game, which is maybe a little high, but it isn't like it is a shooting gallery. He's 2-2 with a .914 sv% so far in November, so maybe he'll rebound, but I think I'd like to see a lot more before I made a call on him this year (especially while Koskinen is still playing okay and significantly better).

You do wonder about the possibilities if this summer we had skipped the Keith & Bear trades and used our cap space more wisely on re-forming the defence. I feel like the team could have done a lot better than signing Smith if they'd kept more money free. The fact that it's a two year deal is still just ridiculous.

Good thing we aren't allowing 32 shots a game.


Don't be so negative, almost all of them are from non-dangerous areas (need sarcasm font)

Imagine that, an old goalie has a minor injury and it isn't healing quickly. Who could have thought that would be a possibility (still need that font)

Don't worry though, we have a a high quality backup. The last couple weeks aren't a hot streak and there is no chance he regresses back to his historical play (does a sarcasm font even exist?)

The Oilers are the most fun to watch as they have been for years. The might be the most fun team in the league to watch right now. It doesn't make up for the fact that the exact issues that the "negative" people predicted are the issues coming to fruition.
Hopefully the goaltending, with or without Smith, and the defending, can hold on just enough to allow the offensive firepower to keep them at or near the top of the division.
