Can’t wait for the coaches denial and all the positivity that can be collected and learned from a loss.


To be fair, if I was in Woodcroft's shoes, I'm giving nothing but sugar in the media too. Why beat your team up there? You simply say that obviously this one didn't go the way we'd hoped. We maybe got a little sloppy out there, and will have to tighten up a bit next game. Best to put this in the rearview and just move on.

I don't think there's any benefit to saying anything else, and it doesn't necessarily reflect what was said in the room or tomorrow in the video room (and lots to review there!)


I'm not looking into the result too much though it was painful setting aside time to watch this tilt when I could've been much more productive running errands before the SB (which ended in a miserable ticky tacky ref ball way)

Not making excuses but here were my observations from yesterday:
1) Being on the 2nd half of a back to back is one thing

2) Being on the 2nd half of a back to back with both games being during the day is another
^A - Coaches literally have less time to prepare for the 2nd game with it being during the daytime opposed to the evening
B - Having to prepare for a day game on that 2nd half of the back to back with AHLers you don't have that much info on can be tough
C - Those aforementioned AHLers were playing with more desperation as they were playing for future spots in the NHL
D - In these scenarios as a coaching staff, all the brainpower was channeled into "getting that bird in hand" being the 1st half of the back to back against Ottawa

3) It seemed as if the Oilers were buzzing offensively in the first two periods...just couldn't capitalize on the best scoring chances. I attribute that to bad execution, odd bounces, and Jake Allen standing on his head

4) Defensively however, the Oilers were a mess against an unpredictable team/roster without a well defined scheme so see my point on 2-B above^^^^^^^

5) 5/8 points on this roadie right after the All Star break isn't bad....it would've been good to get 6/8 as that Philly game was a missed opportunity. Honestly, I was expecting 4/8 points with a loss at Detroit and dropping one of the back to backs this past weekend.
