"So far down the roster" is a little bit hyperbole, he's been the 3rd line C since the beginning of the season. But it doesn't bode well for him when Markus Grnalund is pretty much ready to take over the #3 C spot.

When they say "not being literally true", do they mean not being figuratively true? Or what?

Then Oxford is bull#### too.

You can't use the word in the process of defining it.

That would be like me defining the word Manatee saying: "A large manatee-like creature".

It's stupid.

Team has been crap. Not throwing this on Hiller. But when you look at the Oilers with 50 shots against in a game and the goalie is saving their bacon, this is what you'd like our goalies to be able to. Be not just fine, but exceptional when you need them.
