They play like they have no system.
You can say that the goaltending is bad, and it has been but the Oilers give up a lot of amazingly good chances from the danger areas.
Their PP and PK, two areas that were solid last year with what you could say were lesser talents is worse.
Kruger and Renney dealt with weaker lineups and got more out of them.

Kruger got them out of the bottom 3, thats practically sacrilege in Edmonton by this point.
Renney though was 30th and 29th. Granted, the team he had to work with was like trying to juggle soggy feces.
