, whose numbers for the Calgary Flames last season — .898 save percentage, 2.72 goals-against average — inspired almost no confidence whatsoever.
You know the old line about goaltending being 50 per cent of your game, unless you don’t have any? Then it’s 100 per cent? Go back a decade. With a penalty killing success rate of 79.8 per cent, the Oilers have had the third-worst PK percentage in the NHL over the past 10 seasons. For some historical perspective, the 1977-78 Canadiens hold the NHL record for best PP unit at 31.9 per cent. But the best power play in team history goes back to the early Wayne Gretzky days when the Boys on the Bus posted a 29.3 per cent mark back in 1982-83.

Spec EdmontonOilers No. No they were not. They were getting outshot tremendously but I guess there's nothing else to do at least this is a distraction lol
Spec EdmontonOilers They may make the playoffs but their D core is thin and suspect and will be exposed.

EdmontonOilers Spec Edmonton had 3 more points than Winnipeg. I feel the Jets were going to find a way to make it. Do you guys think the Jets were contenders? Because they were NOT. Not this yr. Crazy story.
EdmontonOilers Spec No they weren’t
EdmontonOilers Spec They're 3 games above .500 after 71 games, a mediocre team no matter how you slice it.
EdmontonOilers Spec Weren’t they outshot by a million in the last 4 games?
EdmontonOilers Spec Dream on.
EdmontonOilers Spec They aren’t well enough built to be contenders. They have two insane players, but the rest of the team is average.
EdmontonOilers Spec When the season started, I don’t think anyone had the Oil in the playoff hunt. As time passed, we began to have hope, & we forgot that the team was exceeding expectations. I still don’t think they are contenders, but I was really looking forward to seeing them in the playoffs.
EdmontonOilers Spec “The pause” is exactly what Leon needs so he can pick up a book on how to get a clue when it comes to anything on his side of the red line
EdmontonOilers Spec Much improved yes. Contenders no.
EdmontonOilers Spec Two reasons, 29 and 97
