The Edmonton Oilers took their lumps in a 7-3 loss to the Minnesota Wild, ending a five-game win streak, but they're positive it was 'just one of those nights' as they now embark on their most difficult road trip of the season. (By SportsnetSpec)

team sleepwalking through their fifth game in seven nights was shown around the rink by the Minnesota Wild in a 7-3 rout., under siege behind an Oilers club that sleepwalked through the opening 20 minutes, got the hook at 4-0, at the 13:38 mark. It’s the sixth time in his last nine starts that Smith has allowed at least two goals in the opposition’s first six shots.

Hey, we’re not going to beat up a team that has climbed right back into the thick of the Pacific and were at the end of a five-game week. Edmonton’s game was very strong in beating Winnipeg 4-2 on Saturday, and frankly, they just didn’t have their heads in this one. “For me,” began Woodcroft, “what I believe is that when you find yourself in situations like this, that’s why you have a structure in place. It protects the individuals during tough circumstances.”

And so, this lopsided loss opens a four-game stretch against Minnesota, Tampa, Florida and Carolina — all situated among the NHL’s Top 7 in win percentage. The Oilers fly out Monday morning on a five-game roadie, hoping to grab three points against the Lightning, Panthers and Hurricanes, and then make some hay in Philadelphia and Chicago before coming home to a stretch of six of seven games at Rogers Place.

Spec Mark you need to go!!!! Everyone is done with your voice

Spec Like it or not the schedule is RIDICULOUS 2 back to backs in just over a week 5 games 7 nights. Tough way to go out on a roady where they will lose all 3 be out of the playoff picture and give ken the excuse he needs to keep doing NOTHING to help this team.

Spec Like your work well done. But please, write something about Bouchard’s inability to read defensive situations. Consistently reads the game like a child

They need to hire Jim Benning to get over the top

Spec Stuff happens ...

Spec Ur-oh....

Spec Beat up bad teams, lose to good teams

Oilers under Woodcroft are 'putting the work in and they're getting rewarded for it'When you are the new guy, as is the case with Jay Woodcroft, the players want to prove that they can deliver the qualities to you that the old guy somehow could not extract. So far, with a 4-0-0 record under the interim coach, the Edmonton Oilers have been successful at doing exactly that. Spec Boudreau accomplished this feat no more than a couple months ago

Nova Scotia gunman left a trail of financial red flags, but none was caught by regulatorWith hearings on the 2020 mass shooting set to begin, families of victims demand answers on why suspicious purchases, money transactions escaped notice Ope... are we gearing up to promote Chrissy Freeland's PERMANENT constant, continual monitoring of all our financial transactions? Look, if I buy bleach, duct tape, and garbage bags, I'm probably not disposing of a body. Purchase history w/o context says little. The problem is not that we're whacky conspiracy theorists... the problem is that we're CORRECT whacky conspiracy theorists. Incredible coverup of police incompetence. A mass murder and no information as to even the true timeline.
