The Oilers got rid of most of the good defensive players who gave them their incredible PK in last year’s playoffs, and replaced them with old, washed-up offensive players who can’t even score now. They got rid of Holloway and Broberg, their only two young players, and squandered most of the proceeds for one game of Trent Frederic. Ekholm, their one good defensive defenceman, is out for the duration, and they’ve annoyed the officials by turning last night’s game into a goon show.
I expect the Oilers to fold like a cheap umbrella in a Lethbridge windstorm.
