The Edmonton Oilers are not on pace for the 6 points that I thought they could earn this Eastern Road Trip. They could end up with a potential five points, which is some what close, but boy.
There were two stinker games and one of them we managed to get a point. I do not get this team at all. They can make teams like Carolina, which are not that good, look like Stanley Cup contenders, but on the flip side they are able to hang tight with teams like Los Angeles, Chicago, Washington and Pittsburgh.
They somewhat remind me of the 1980-81 team from The Game of our Lives by Peter Gzowski.
