It’s been two straight losses for the Edmonton Oilers in the past three days after the fantastic run they’ve had as of late. But these last two losses are against teams they should have beaten and could have marked as automatic wins.
It’s understandable to lose a game against the young and talented Vancouver Canucks that have been playing .500 hockey since the season started. But losing to the St. Louis Blues in almost the same manner as you did against the Canucks is a cause for concern. If you look more in-depth on these two losses, some themes start to pop out on why this team has been performing like this as of late.
