Oh yeah, the Oilers played defense better than usual. They collapsed far better than days of yore, and were chasing less. Who knew, right ?
This game was, at times, hard to watch. It seemed that both teams were reaching, and chasing pucks, or missing passes. I guess that is part of the learning curve for young teams, and one need only look at the stat sheet to see that. The teams combined for 25 giveaways tonight ( Edmonton had a 13-12 edge ).
So, Tank Nation is happy, as the Oilers get two points to draw closer to our local team in the standings.
