My wife doesn't watch all the games but someone that has an intermittent viewing of the team had this to say'
"What happened to a lot of the players" She pointed out so many players now starting are not familiar to her.
But gone is Eberle, Pouliot, Hendricks, Pitlick, Desharnais, Lander (Sekera, injury)
Then who is really new? Jokkinen, who has been a complete bag of nothing, and Ryan Strome. That should sound like a punchline, to the gut, of Oilers fans.
There is no conceivable way anybody could even remotely believe this team is better or even equal to what it was last year.
Most GM's would realize a time to consolidate gains is the offseason of the year in which the club first had success. Parlay that excitement, and the optimal time in which to attract new players to something truly special. It seems every other team in the division is improved. Some substantially. We're trotting out LESS of a lineup. What kind of reply is that? This is good nuff for Edmonton fans?
Fans should be angry that Jokkinen and Strome, alone, were the additions to this club while several players are gone.
