Their next two games are against the Preds and Leafs and I'm betting they get their collective faces caved in.

This is my hope too. They barely survived against two teams that had played really hard the night before in Calgary. You’re SUPPOSED to win games against teams coming into your barn on the second of back-to-backs. But in Oiler-Land, doing your job makes you invincible.
Tonight, they were lucky not to surrender at least a loser point to the Ducks. I despise the Ducks as much as anybody, but I really wanted that to go to overtime—three point games against division rivals don’t help the oilers.
In my view, that was a tying goal. If Rittich can be completely removed from the crease during a goal against Dallas, Koskinen can survive a love tap caused by his own man.
I’ve never seen a ref so emphatic about marginal goaltender interference. Once again, the NHL’s inconsistency influenced a game’s result. And I can’t believe I even care, given the teams playing...I’m just impatient to have the oilers final death stake be driven in.
