That's hardly much of a difference at all.

It's enough to separate teams that succeed and teams that don't. But you're right that just barely meeting my abritrary threshold isn't a time to be satisfied. But it's a time to start looking to add and fill out the small holes in the roster, and any time before that is rushing. You're welcome to disagree with me and like many here just believe that the only thing this team is missing is a goaltender but that's an Oilers mentality. And they had a pretty functional Dubnyk for a few years before he fell apart.
