This photo helps sum up the night. A disgusting night at that. It's frustrating to see this because we know it can be prevented.We came into the season with a goal of reaching the playoffs. We would have needed...
- At least 1 more puck-moving defenseman of the veteran ilk - the blue is too young and inexperienced too
- Consistency
- Belanger to figure out how to handle a puck in the O-zone
- The veterans to be handled more efficient - they're out of gas or something, Horcoff is dead out there
- Health, does puck possession metric correlate to injuries? The Oilers never have the puck and they are always injured
- The kids to step up, except for Maggie they have - big time
- All world goaltending, they had that with Khabby but only took advantage of it for the first 12 games
- A 4-line that doesn't get killed every time they're on the ice, they're getting murdered
The playoffs are now out of the question - Relinquish for Ryan (Murray) it is!
I'm sick of looking forward to the draft at this time of year, but it's back at it. Something new to write about, because I don't want to talk about lackadaisical efforts every night. Maybe we can get Ryan Suter in the off-season? A man can dream...
