This is a great example of why people like Rob Brown are out to lunch when they say the Oilers are a more skilled team than the Flames. Playing responsible defense is a skill. Skating back hard to break up a play (like Gio did on Kelser last night) is a skill.
A player like RNH definitely has some offensive skill, but plays like this one show why he isn't as 'skilled' as many people believe he is.
Unfortunately for Oiler fans, the so-called core players for the Oilers include these two in the video coasting back and just watching an opposing player score. A small example of many things wrong with that organization right now. They don't need a tinkering or another rebuild, they need to rip it all down and start fresh. It's a terrible hockey franchise from top to bottom.
