I'm going to put this down to one of those games, one or two of the players turned up, loved the performances of Skinner, Broberg, McLeod and Foegele.

Skinner showed up again, at last we may have found someone in the system that can step up and we don't have to trade for a goalie.

Broberg, seriously that's his second NHL game? Looked like he'd played two or three hundred. Didn't like losing the young D men in the summer, but we had others behind ready to step up.

McLeod seems to finding his way around in games. If he carries on like this he'll soon find himself firmly in our bottom 6 for the next season or two for sure.

Foegele after a bit of a false start looks like he's settling into the team and playing his role. The goals will come if he carries on chipping away like he did last night.

As for the rest of the team, meh they just didn't show up. I can't blame them though, with the refs putting the whistles away when the Oilers had the puck. At times I was wondering if our bench should offer them a pair of glasses just so they can actually see what's going on. It's as if they are peeved at us for daring to call them out in 2017... They didn't cost us the game, but they certainly helped tip it in the favour of Dallas.

I agree with you on who showed up. I Broberg looked good again. McLeod looked good and is looking like he might be the answer to the 3rd line center. I thought Skinner was decent and Foegele looked decent. I actually thought Ceci was alright and as a pair, Ceci and Broberg looked OK and I actually didn't think Russell and Barrie were bad.

I thought the top 6 was awful. McD looked checked out. He was brutal on that Gurianov goal, did a total fly bye, I can't be bothered to check. Generated zero on offense. Of that top line I thought JP was the best of them but that isn't saying much. Hyman I didn't know he even played.

Leon was the best of his line but that isn't saying a ton. I don't blame him on his cross check penalty. He easily took 4 in the back before he got knocked down with another one. Gets up and is pissed - I would be - gives one back and of course he gets called.

I thought Nuge and Yamo were brutal. They did nothing and if you look at their stat lines for the game, they had zeros. So that backs up my statement. The PK wasn't good and Hyman, Nuge and Yamo are 3 out of the 4 main PK forwards. They all were terrible so was the PK.

I know depth is important but when your whole top 6 is awful, it's pretty rare your team will win. I like the players in the Oilers top 6 but man, when it's not working, or they aren't in it or the opposition has a good night shutting them down, they look brutal and do not seem to have either the ability or what I believe is THE WANT to change their game when needed. Sometimes you have to simplify the game and play more basic put it on goal, look for tips and rebounds and they do not seem to be able to or don't want to ever do that.

Keith in limited time had some struggles. Bouchard was ROUGH last night.

The reffing. It's becoming a broken record but seriously, come on!! It says 5-2 in penalties which in itself looks bad but when you look at actual PP time. 1 "PP" the Oilers got was 30 seconds after they killed off some, then was 4 on 4. The other came with like 28 seconds left in the game. So combined they got maybe 1 min total while the Stars got about 9 mins, maybe more. Keith took a stick in the face in the first, McLeod got one inches from his eye. I mentioned the easily 5 cross checks Leon got in the back before he got fed up and gave one back. The Oilers didn't play well but the reffing sure didn't help things. That last night was a classic game where the refs let the OLD because the stars are loaded with old guys, team do whatever the hell they wanted to the young team.
