It looks like after last night that the Edmonton Oilers have probably crossed the season-ending rubicon with their loss to the Florida Panthers. They needed a big win and collected some points to keep their playoff hopes alive, but that went up in flames.
With the Oilers sporting a 23-28 record, it’s hard to see what type of path they have to capture a wild-card playoff spot. Losing to a team like the Panthers who also have been struggling this year hasn’t helped matters at all. It has made the local media and fanbase vent their anger all over the place.
