Several predictable passes plagued the Edmonton Oilers in a 4-3 win over the New York Islanders. They play like a team destined for the playoffs. Each come-from-behind or hard-fought win builds character and boosts confidence.
The message from the coaching staff sticks and those that don’t become teachable moments. It is good for the Edmonton Oilers the magic of Connor McDavid, Milan Lucic, and Cam Talbot are forces driving the team to the post-season.
McDavid’s generational passing skills creates more Oilers scoring chances than ants on a hill. He dangles, dashes and dances along the boards while looking to feed an open player in the slot, or parked by the crease.
