Pretty tough to win a game when you take 7 penalties, even tougher when you give up 4 pp goals. Then you pile on the best PP in the NHL can't score a single goal in 6 tries against one of the leagues worst PK's. The team didn't come out to play which stuns me but I shouldn't be surprised anymore. I find it hilarious that fans on twitter are screaming about Holland trading for Chychrun like that will magically fix all their problems. I am fine to trade for the Chychrun. I think the price is way too much but they need another dman. That being said, you can trade for Makar and it doesn't fix the Oilers problem. The problem is and has been for years. It's been the same problem with multiple coaches and different GM's. The problem is the main core of the Oilers do not play winning hockey. They play to score points. As much as I love watching McD, he plays to score points. His job in his mind and he has said it, he's paid to score. So that's what he does and that is what his mindset is. He's on this team to score. He's never scored 50, so this year he's decided he will score 50. He probably decided he wants a Richard trophy. COOL! I am looking forward to the day he decides to play winning hockey. Same as Leon. His boy McD scores a ton and he doesn't want to be showed up so he plays to score as well. Those 2 don't care about defense. All you have to do is look at their +/-. YES, I know it's not a great stat because you can get a + or - just by stepping on the ice and doing nothing but it shows a trend especially for those 2 because those 2 are the big dogs and when they are on the ice, 95% of the time they are involved in the play good or bad. McD +1, Leon +3. The fact those 2 have such a BRUTAL +/- when they score as much as they do just shows how little they care 5 on 5 defensively. Next guy and main leader on the team, Nuge. -5. Am I saying it's all those 3 fault? No but in my opinion, they play a big factor because they are the main 3 forwards, they play A TON and when your 3 main guys don't give a crap about defense, why should anyone else. So yes pay whatever it costs and go get yourself a dman whoever that guy is but does it fix everything? NO! Could it help for a few plays? Sure it can but unless the guy can play the entire game, until the team decides to 100% commit to playing team defense, it won't help that much. Playing team defense might mean that the big boys don't score as much. It might mean they don't score as many highlight reel goals seen on TV. Playing defense is hard work and lots of times not anywhere near as fun as scoring goals. But it's necessary. So fire the coach, GM, Nicholson, swap out whatever D you want, change out the bottom 6, do all of that. Until the big boys change their mindset and play winning hockey every single game, it won't get much better. Championship teams play good, sound winning hockey all the time. They still score goals but just scoring isn't the only focus. They typically don't take unnecessary chances especially late in games and at times the stars know they have to sacrifice offense to win. Playing sound team defense for championship teams stars are your star and goes all the way to the 12th forward and every dman.

The very definition of insanity is doing the exact same thing expecting different results.

Generally Disappointed.
