Our team defence is bad. When you have Butler on your top pair, we could have a young Patrick Roy in Gillies and we wouldn't even know it.

Wrong, our "team" defense is actually quite good, but our defensemen are bad. Brodie, Butler, O'Brien have all been sub par in their own zone and especially with turnovers. The forwards have all contributed very well to the defense and have rarely made a bad turnover. The goaltending has also been subpar overall with the odd nice game here and there. You saw in Dallas what happens when the "team" defense falls apart…goalie hung out to dry with a weak defense group in front of him.
I really have no idea what the Oiler fan comment is all about. Dubnyk is still a better goalie than either of ours, which isn't saying much.
