We just didn't do a good job of building this team, so early in the season our coach goes into panic mode and all he can think to do is try to win games using a few players. Super disappointing that Woody would go there, I thought he was better than that and he would be trying to keep everyone involved and try to lift this group up, even if there was some short term pain. Holding some belief that the team he had the last half of last season is still there and keeping some balance would pay off. But, nope, Woody is all about the panicky coaching now it seems, and quick punishing of any little mistake from guys lower on the team social order.

I do have to wonder how much of this is Woody just trying to keep his job. It's not exactly a secret that the top of the organization views the bottom 6 as a waste of time that is there to just hold space until McDrai are recovered enough to get back on the ice. If your boss(es) tell you that enough times, you're going to start to deploy your roster in a way that gets them off your back.
Would be nice if the Oilers would hire a coach that could ignore any interference from the brain trust but, then again, the brain trust is never going to hire that guy so it's not going to happen while they're still around.
Oilers Goal Differential
17/18: 234 GF / 263 GA (-29)
18/19: 232 GF / 274 GA (-42)
19/20 (82 game pace): 257 GF / 254 GA (+3) in 64 games
2021 (82 game pace):269 GF / 235 GA (+34) after 38 games
