Not really stressed about it, but if they want a playoff spot they need about 5 of those.

Which means Klefbom needs to be back like now.

This season is probably a wash but if they want to keep it interesting they need to reel off some wins with Klef back.


The problem is that I think a lot of us believe that when Klef comes back, all will be well, or markedly better. The guy has been out for 2 months, and probably will still have some limited mobility with the stick in addition to being way behind pace of play. Sorry to throw cold water on your hopes, but it might take him about another month to really get up to speed.

It depends on which Oiler team decides to show up. If they play as well as they did over the weekend at 5-on-5 and tighten up the PK, they could string together 5 or more wins. If they revert to giving up in the first period, they'll be lucky to win any of them.

I remember a story I heard a while back about Andy Murray as a head coach. He walks into the dressing room before the season starts and gives every player a piece of paper. Tells them it’s an 82 game season and tells each player to write down how many games they think they are going to win. He gets the results and there are all kinds of answers, but no one writes down 82. He gets quite agitated when he asks the players “Well, I’d sure like to know which ones you plan on losing?!”

The correct answer for any fan should be 9 fellas.
