Given the situation, last night was actually the most astounding loss I've seen in a while considering they've shown no response or will to change after four straight games that are basically carbon copies of each other - dismal PP, no emotion, taking the foot off of the gas.

OK well if you want to take the assessment do it properly and look at their record against teams below them in the standings and see if they are good at netting the points or not. I have no idea if they are.
But to make the conclusion over the record against the Oilers is more of an emotional response than a rationale evaluation. That's my point.
What they do against the Oil doesn't really matter more than what they do against any of the other 29 teams.
