Oilers win again

[DaBoltsNIsles]

Even the worst NHL teams will have a 6-2-2 stretch most years. I think more than likely they just hit their good streak at the start of the year. Their top O-line is impressive, Bulin Wall playing out of his mind, but they have problems at the back.

I think Dash's song is pretty right on, though I think the Leafs are more legit as a playoff threat than the Oil.

My team can't even score a goal let alone win a game. Having a good stretch of games seems like it would take a miracle at this point.

Yes, I'll agree that some teams have hometown scorers that inflate the SOG and hit stats for the home team. However, I've watched quite a few Oilers games this season and they are playing better defensively, but have been quite opportunistic in their games. Let's just wait and see how things look at the end of November.

Think I read that RNH - Hall - Eberle line have a shooting percentage north of 20%
that will regress to the mean as well.

just checked, RNH is north of 20%, the other guys aren't

Yeah, the Isles are puzzling. Their defense was awful last year but their offense was downright dangerous and they were as capable as any team in the second half last season of dropping 5 or 6 on a team. Now they are playing better defense, but they can't find the net.

Ondrej Pavelec stood on his head last night. There wasn't anything they could do.

Since that 8-2-2 start, the Oil have gone 5-10-1...Yes, things are making sense again.

Normally, I'd be chafed with myself for being so dead wrong about this but I can't help but feel happy with this turn of events for coilers
