Oilers Leave Chicago With A Point

TEAMS: Edmonton Oilers
from Mark Spector of Sportsnet, "Big picture, it's an excellent point against the strongest team in the National Hockey League right now," said head coach Ralph Krueger. "Sure, there's some pain … but they're an amazingly powerful team, and we never let up on the puck at all. "In the end I'm proud of the team for the character to come in here and take a point. But, you believe you could have won this one too." Why should a point on the road in the league's toughest building come with a caveat? That is just one of a myriad of questions for an Oilers team that seems forever poised to take that next step When does "now" ever arrive for this Edmonton Oilers franchise anyhow? The way "today" is suddenly showing up in Toronto? It is as nebulous a question as this one: When did this rebuild actually start in Edmonton?

Questions Around Khabibulin’s Starts

Via Kukla's Korner  |  February 26, 2013
The Edmonton Oilers need some work. No, they don’t need to hit the gym any harder, they don’t need more side projects to help fill the time, they need to figure out where the team is weak and address those weaknesses.

The Oilers sorta-lost to the Chicago Blackhawks tonight. Only "sorta" because they managed a regulation tie...One point out of a possible two. Perhaps not a bad result against the best team in the NHL. The Oilers could have won this game. The Hawks didn't exactly dominate the play. So why didn't the Oilers win? 1.
