Maybe Dustin should spend more time after practises with the goalies?
Thoughts?

Hey, at least Drai scored (again). Better team effort than the others in this losing streak, but at least our overall team defense couldn't be blamed on the majority of those ones. This one was 100% on our goalie. Those last two should have been saved.
SO sick of (how many GMs now?) saying "our goaltending is fine"

Broberg with 2 goals tonight. I'm still somewhat sceptical they are going to find a better dman available at the deadline. 
But at least they have have Arvidson. At least I think so..Havent actually seen him play yet but he counts against the cap.

They might have been able to trade for a guy as good as Broberg.. if they had kept Broberg.. and traded Broberg for a guy like Broberg.. but.. nope..

That was a better game, agreed. Far more even play. But then the game just gets tanked by 2 sad goals against. And the refs rub the salt in by biting on 2 huge hilarious dives.

Edmonton Oilers @EdmontonOilers
"Tonight's a really good game for us. I think the way that we just skated with our legs, we worked really hard tonight & I think that's a big step in the right direction."
Stuart Skinner on the #Oilers effort against the Panthers.
 Not really the guy that should be giving that quote.

Team USA ref Rooney and the PQ ref Furlatt calling the game, both putting the boots to Edmonton, Canada tonight.. those last 3 penalties were bs.. especially when compared to all the ones they ignored from FL.. good to see S. Skinner coming up clutch when the team needed it badly.. good work bud.

Oilers PK problems is solely due the lack of speed/quickness of the PK'ers.. can't skate so there is zero forecheck pressure EVER.. we forechecked them into the ground last year.. they couldn't get out of their own end on the PP.. our PK forwards can't skate.. so now we just fall back and give up the neutral zone.. and then spend the whole PK in our own end.. with no pressure on the puck carrier.. because they skate too slow to get to them.. so they collapse into a box.. and it turns into a crap show.. and many PP goals.
For all Mcleod's and Foegle's faults.. they were fast.. they could at least skate and create a forecheck on the PK.. pressure the puck carriers.. eat up tons of PP time.. the current Oiler PK problem is not systems related.. its all personnel
Speed is KING
We lost a lot of it over the summer..
