It's ok though , we can pretend the Oilers are great on offence , even though they are always near the bottom of the league in scoring

I thought we all acknowledged the lack of competent puck moving D was a gigantic reason the forwards in Edmonton never seemed to play to their potential.
They added Larsson and look like they're adding Demers. Neither are the solution on their own. However, as I said on the last page .
Larsson-Sekera
Klefbom-Demers
Fayne-Davidson
That's an NHL defense. It's not Nashville, it's not Calgary, it's not Tampa, but it's also not a tire fire. It would instantly be the best defense Edmonton has iced since 2005.
Edmonton may not make the playoffs this year - they probably won't. That defense goes a long way to ensuring they aren't an embarrassment to their city and fans on a nightly basis.
