A Fitting Result


While on the surface last night’s 4-2 loss to the Detroit Red Wings can certainly be viewed as a rather difficult pill for the Edmonton Oilers to have swallowed, in actuality, it was a game in which the home side had absolutely no business even being in.

Six of Eight


After watching their goaltending cost them a number of points in the standings over the opening three months of the season, the Edmonton Oilers and their fans know exactly how the New York Islanders must be feeling following last night’s 5-2 loss to Todd Nelson’s crew. 

Baby Steps


From a public perception standpoint, the Edmonton Oilers organization would have loved nothing more than to watch their team respond to the firing of Dallas Eakins with a string of victories. With that said, something tells me no one in the front office team is overly disappointed with how things have played out since bringing Todd Nelson on board as interim head coach.

Clearing The Deck


Be it tonight in Colorado against the Avalanche or Sunday evening when John Tavares and the New York Islanders pay a visit to Rexall Place, forward Benoit Pouliot would be making his return to the Edmonton Oilers starting lineup.

Positives


It may not have been the fashion in which the Edmonton Oilers were hoping to end 2014 but in a sense, it was the perfect finish to what has truly been a year to forget for all of Oilers Nation.

Victory!!!


Despite having won just once in their last twenty-one games and in the midst of a nightmare of a season, it was always a matter of when and not if the Edmonton Oilers would win another hockey game. While they may have tried their very best to blow yet another multi-goal lead on home ice, at least for one night, the team wearing Orange and Blue found a way to get the job done over at Rexall Place.
