The Edmonton Oilers looked like a team playing the 2nd of back-to-back road games. That’s not a harsh criticism, really, as they stayed in this one right down to the last 20 seconds or so.
But the Oilers committed a number of mental errors that resulted in Tampa Bay goals, and their goaltender surrendered a number of easy ones. Marks for not tossing their arms up in the air and surrendering.
But a loss is a loss. 9 Things:
9. Anders Nilsson cost his team at least a point tonight, with 2 goals that had no business going in.
