The month of January has been a weird one so far for the Edmonton Oilers. There is a lot of press and headlines surrounding the impending doom that will befall the city in a few weeks when the trade deadline heats up. Can’t blame anybody who believes that Peter Chiarelli is one lousy trade away from turning this franchise into another lottery dumpster hole.
Despite what shenanigans that the general manager has cooked for this team, the Edmonton Oilers have sported a 5-3 record for the month as All-Star Weekend is closing in shortly. The team is still a mess, but they aren’t quitting just yet.
