Everyone is sleepwalking.
Getting chances yes, but unable to bury them. I see the tea leaves as the Oilers being a wild card playoff team this year.
Our defence is anemic.
Scorers can't score.
Sick of it all, every damn year it's like this.

Didn't the team outplay Dallas for vast stretches of the game Saturday? Honestly, we're only 6 games in to the season. I think people need to step back from the ledge a little. I'm not convinced that this segment of games is representative of much, especially given the PDO numbers. That looks like a team that's probably a little unlucky.
There's probably a bit of a hangover from last year - as I said before, it's a challenge to be a whisker away from accomplishing your dream and then to go back to the very start again.
We all know that the team isn't perfect here, but we also can clearly see that the team is trying to maximize cap space in order to make a run - even sacrificing a prospect that they'd probably have preferred to keep simply because it'll give them more room at the deadline.
I have no doubt that the PP will come around. I don't doubt that Hyman and Nuge will start contributing more. I don't doubt that we're not going to finish the year at miles below 1.000 PDO. The goaltending may not ever be top level, but I think it can and will be much better than it has looked up to now. Ditto the defence.
Let's see where we're at at 20 games in. I'll be shocked if we're not worlds better.
