and again...
Oilers will very likely be in the thick of the playoff race all season long.
For all the poor play they have done recently... they are still just 1 pt back of a both Calgary and Winnipeg for a playoff spot. 2 pts behind the Canucks and Yotes. 4 pts behind Vegas.
Sure they can keep falling... but they can just as easily recover and start playing better than .500 hockey again and gain slowly on the field and at a minimum stay tight in that playoff race.
Arizona (4-6-0) and Winnipeg (4-5-1) aren't playing gangbusters hockey now either... and all season long the teams in this playoff race (which the Oilers are a part of) are going to go through ups and downs and at times look excellent and at other times look mediocre.
