As bad as the goaltending has been the past few games - and make no mistake, the goaltending has been pretty bad, the Oilers defensive coverage has been equally horrid. Too many players have no idea how or who to cover in most situations.
I don't know about anyone else, but the pass to Staal last night before he ripped home the winner was so obvious. He was just stood there for a few seconds while Dumba played with the puck. No one was close to him.
Two nights before, those two goals that Carolina tapped in on the backdoor... was anyone close to those players? How do you let someone just roam around your net and pay no attention to them?
I don't know if players are cheating for offence cause they feel they have to, or if they simply aren't aware of what/where they need to be. But until the team tightens up in their own end, the mediocre goalies that the team is putting out there don't stand a chance.
It's too bad that Shane Starett is still recovering. This would be the perfect opportunity to see what he's capable of at this level. He carried Bakersfield last year through the middle of the season. The Oilers could use that kind of support now.

I'd agree with that. There's been a few pretty scrambly plays the last couple of games. Worth noting though, the Oilers dominated the stats last night - so while they had some glaring errors, they were pushing the play the other way most of the night - it's pretty deflating when you can't allow shots, knowing every fourth or fifth one is going to hit the back of the net.
Same thing as the Buffalo game - the Oilers overcame a rough start and played pretty well in attack, but when they break down, they break down hard.
5 on 5 numbers still are pretty awful for the whole team - even 97 & 29 aren't shining there any more (although I suspect exhaustion plays a role there - hopefully they get a good break over Christmas).
"Thinking that a bad team's best players are the reason the team is bad is the "Tambellini re-signing Lennart Petrell" of sports opinions." @Woodguy55
