We're only 3 points ahead of where we were at this point last year. I was surprised when I read this Groovey, and initially thought that can't be right. But it is correct, this time last season after 32 games we had 37 pts, this season after 32games we have 40pts. The concerning thing about last season is that for the remaining 50 games, we only earned a miserable 42 pts. Surely history can't repeat itself so soon...…….can it?  Well, there was this Murphy guy, and he had this crazy Law, and uh....

It will be the same problem 5 years from now. Players with any other option (see:good players) aren't coming . I also believe we should have toilets that wipe our asses for us.

We knew hard times would come. It does for largely all teams. The key is for them to bounce back. The problem is that the only ones that can bounce back is McD, LD, Neal. No one else has had any offensive side in the first 1/3 of the season. Personally, I still trust Holland and Tippett but they have an awful lot of work still to do. Calgaryalfan has a good point. With good work from Holland, the team is still 2 years away from becoming a force defensively. If only the Oilers could get some scoring. Not just you telly, but almost everyone include the "experts" on TV are consistently going on about the Oilers need more depth scoring...……….I have a different view point. In the Pacific Division the Oilers are second best scorers with 100, only Vancouver has scored more, but the Oilers have conceded more goals than five of the other teams, ie we have the 6th best defence in an 8 team division. My viewpoint is that we need more depth defending, not necessarily more depth scoring. A potential goal against being prevented, has the same value as a goal actually scored, and that can't be debated.To me we are still very loose at the back, I still see way many times 3 opposition players (sometimes 4) heading to our goal with only a couple of Oiler players placed in a position to do anything about it. Don't know what has happened to the five back and five forward strategy, but it takes way too long for the Oilers to get five men back, and we still have way too much puck watching, ie RNH last night stood behind the net, lets his player go and in the back of our net in a couple of seconds (can't recall which goal it was, does it matter?). There has been a lot of talk about going in for scoring forwards, ie Hall & Toffoli, biggish names that probably won't contribute any more to our defence than the top six players we already have. I think if we are looking at free agents, we should re-direct our attention to someone like (not necessarily this guy but someone similar) Pietrangelo of St Louis. To fund such a move I would be shipping out Kris Russell and one of Larsson or Nurse...……...yep, Larsson or Nurse. We have several good young defencemen ready to hopefully emulate Ethan Bear, and to me, Nurse is way over rated, and Larsson certainly not irreplaceable, especially if we can get a top class defender as mentioned in. In the 26 years I have been watching the Oilers, the only really top defender that could do everything required was Chris Pronger, and look at what happened that year. We are spending too much at one end of the ice and we do not have enough quality at the other end...……….fact! I agree, no debate here. To add, good defenders come a lot cheaper than good scorers.
