Just my opinion but it seems to me the Oilers players kept getting asked about why they aren't scoring as much during that streak and they decided to loose up a little defensively to score more.
What I think they didn't realize is when the Knights beat them to end the streak as an example, it's not that they weren't generating enough chances, they just weren't burying as many as they should have. Grade A chances were hitting posts or crossbars. An inch the other way, they are goals. In addition, it's unsustainable for a goalie to stand on his head like Hill did every game. He was making saves off his head on Leon as an example. McD would miss wide open nets. That's not going to keep happening all year. If you keep generating those chances, they will go in with the talent they have.
So get back to how you were playing defensively and you will be fine.
Even the PK. I heard Knoblauch say it's not the system, it's not bad players, it's the players and especially the dmen not moving out as far as they were, they are playing more passive. So that's a very easy fix hopefully.
