These aren't the Edmonton Oilers of old. They actually played defense. They didn't commit miserable turnovers or make completely bizarre decisions behind their red line. They buzzed on offense. They looked like they wanted to control the neutral zone - and they ultimately did. Before this game, the word on the street was that they believed they were better than their record. The New Jersey Devils became evidence of their belief. The Devils struggled with the Oilers to start, got into some kind of groove, and then completely lost the plot to Edmonton in the third period.
