Is this supposed to be a positive?Really? Because our Duo doesn't play Defense or play Goalie
Nurse Bear Klefbom Persson Benning Russell Smith Koskinen do that
Tale of two teams so far this season?
After opening up with a 7-1 record, they’ve only won 3 of their past 9 games.
Which record is more indicative of what this team will actually do this season?
Edmonton's problem has never been bad drafting in the first round. It's bad drafting in subsequent rounds. in the last 12 years there has been minimal success of any sort with Edmonton draft picks outside of first round. Games played, points etc....very bleak. Your depth comes from your ability in the later rounds.Of the last 20 first overall picks, DiPietro and Erik Johnson are probably near the bottom along with Nugent-Hopkins and Yakupov. So basically, half of Edmonton's 1st overall picks have been the bottom 10-20% of the last 20 years.
Then you get a bottom 10% GM trading one of your remaining 2 quality 1st overalls.
So we're left with 1/4 first overalls retaining any kind of value for Edmonton.
Bah.
Yes but everybody and their mother thought Blues are a pretty damn good team in September last year. So the people with short memory were ones who actually thought Blues might be a lottery team in January.People have a really short term memory.
Latest Cup winner was dead ****ing last in January last year, last in the league. And yet, they played their last game on June 12th.

January is in two months time. It's a long way for a lot of games and a lot of ''won 5 last'' and lots of ''lost 4 last''.
Lol yes lets compare the Blues who have one of the best D cores in the NHL and depth up front to the Oilers who have 0 depth and a below average D core.
Enjoy the cup run!
