Speaking of Staples......10 things the oilers need in order to make the playoffs (revisited).
https://edmontonjournal.com/sports/h...18-19-playoffs
For those who want the coles notes:
- Mcdavid 120 points
- Talbot at or above his career year
- Klefbom/Nurse becomes a true #1 D
- Drasaitl earns his contract
- Back up steals games when Talbot isn't in net
- all their support players (Rattie, Strome, Puljujarvi, etc) actually do something on the PP
- bottom 6 actually gets on the scoresheet
- better player utilization from the coach
- RNH earns his contract on the top line
I will be surprised if the oilers have 3 out of 10 at this point. I can see Mcdavid with 120 points, maybe RNH does well on the top line, and MAYBE the coach actually coaches.
Good luck with the rest, because at this point NONE of the above is happening.
