Ive been watching a bit of the Blues/Jets game. Both those teams are in another universe than us right now. The speed, depth of talent, forechecking ability, and willingness to take a hard cut at the net with the puck with both those teams is impressive and it makes our circus just look sad. I will be deliriously happy if it comes to pass, but I wouldnt bet a plug nickel on the Oilers being in the post season.I mean, if the boys can win the next 3 against the Sharks, Blues and Habs... they get back to .500 and are back in the playoff conversation.
I expect we'll get run out of the rink.
I don't disagree. But if Talbot can find last year's form. And if Sekera and Larsson return and play as well as last year. And if Nurse continues playing like a top pairing guy. And if Puljujarvi + the rest of the offense can continue to click. And if, and if, and if...Ive been watching a bit of the Blues/Jets game. Both those teams are in another universe than us right now.

I’m hoping we get Larsson back by tomorrow.
And that Pulju continues to shine.
The oilers WERE playing the box most of the time on the pk. If you weren't seeing that it was due to all the neophytes the Oilers have on the pk getting out of position.Finally last night was the first game the PK played the box style. Dam was that nice to see. I have no idea why TM took 30 games to find out the diamond wasnt working. Check that, it wasnt that great even last year.
