Having reflected upon the last 5 games I'm happy to report I'm upgrading my views on the Oilers from awful to probably aren't awful. I still think they have some deep flaws on the ice (and in the organization) but the fact is they've won 8 of 11 and looked decidedly not awful for the vast majority of those games. I can still quibble about some things, but I have very few specific items to complain about right now. It makes Oilfans and OilersX a little less fun, but the hockey games are better.

I believe I predicted this prior to Woody's dismissal. Said they're outplaying teams many of these nights, so even a stretch of not awful goaltending and they probably get a good winning streak or two.
I have never believed this isn't a playoff team - just think A) the firing of the coach wasn't super impactful - this would have happened regardless and B) that as built, we can't win the Cup. They need a goddamn goalie. Skinner doing better is nice to see, but he isn't the answer.
