sure feels like the the Defense is overmatched... and not just against McDraividane either...
Defense is playing on its heels; sagging as the Oilers are attacking with speed at the blueline and then sending guys into the wake of that that sagging.
Also seems like the Flames breakout is broken...like the Oilers have downloaded it. Flames can't seem to generate anything attacking as they are scrambling in the neutral zone trying to recover from a messed up breakout.
the forwards need to help slow things down defensively so the Oilers are going more east/west when they enter the attacking zone as opposed to North/South which they are doing, seemingly, at will right now...
While Calgary was down 2-1 versus Dallas, the actual game play is not comparable at all...Calgary owned Dallas. I would not say the same about the Oilers.
