Boston looked a lot like the Gulutzan-era Flames last night. Slow, no creativity, couldn't complete a pass to save their lives, and their PP was putrid.
The McDavid/Talbot show will win the Oilers a few games, for sure. Especially against non-playoff teams like the Rangers, tired teams on the 2nd half of a back-to-back (Bruins), and teams that just curl up and die after getting the lead (Jets).
But it ain't gonna get them to the dance. Depth is what gets you to the playoffs, and the Oilers clearly don't have it.
