Get away from the injuries as an excuse garbage. First of all, the Oilers have been better points wise with McDavid out.
Second of all, the injuries are a story because of a strong lack of organizational depth by the Oilers thanks to a decade of disaster at the draft table.
Every team has injuries, where would have the Flames been if Brodie hadn't gone down, I'd say that his impact was felt much greater then the savior.
And the Oilers are on track for about 8 points of improvement over last year, that's not an improvement at all if your going to make an argument of improvement.
