One way to look at it is the real Oilers are the median of their performances..
At the start of their streak the defensive play.. break outs out of the D-zone.. limiting chances against.. puck retrievals.. was excellent.. playing smart over all.. great team habits.. it was like another team.. the one we've all hoped for.. had one of the best GA averages in the NHL.
Then near the end of the streak.. even when winning games.. they were coughing up chances routinely.. dumb, dopey decisions.. lack of awareness.. weak physical efforts..
Then the schedule got harder and the close wins have turned to losses and even some beat downs..
During the streak the whole line up was clicking.. now its primarily McDavid going full ET..
Consistency of effort, physical play and smart decisions are things they can control every game.. starts from there..
McDAVID! Oh YEAH Baby!! (Thank you Lord!)
