The Edmonton Oilers would not have won this game, a year ago. Of that I am quite sure. While this one was not much at all to watch, for those of us who forked over a small fortune to be at Rexall Place tonight, Todd McLellan‘s group did what was required to come away with 2 points. And that, after all, is the name of the game. They don’t ask how pretty they were.
9 Things:
9. The Edmonton Oilers had not won a 1-nothing game in 5 years, and had never won a 1-0 overtime game in the history of the NHL franchise.
