The Edmonton Oilers skated out of Rexall Place with yet another loss in their most historical arena. The team has lost five straight and are not living up to their expectations for this season. Though it wasn’t a “we’re going to make the playoffs” kind of expectation, we were expecting to improve under head coach Todd McLellan, and at least get a few more wins than previously expected.
However, that has not changed. The team still struggles, and is losing uncontrollably. What we should see in a game, including determination, full effort and heart, as well as teamwork, translates instead into turnovers, poor play and an “oh well” attitude towards games.
