funny you say that, i checked the goals against today thinking the exact same thing. we all are quick to say the Oilers have a weak d and they do but when this team is supposedly built as a strong defensive team and they give up the goals they do, you really have to question what is wrong. too often out there, they look confused. as for GG, get over the whole left/right shot pairing obsession and play the guys with the guys they play well with. Hamonic/Brodie doesnt work. but i have to question a guy who allows Brouwer to wear the "A".
