Well I saw maybe 5 minutes of this one as I was busy last night, but glad to see them pick up a win. Dubnyk I see got the start and played pretty well, always a plus as he is now starting to show signs of maybe being an ok NHL goalie. I’ll take two points gladly. Now lets reward them with a trip to Vancouver…..ouch

Wow, aside from the first 10 min of the 1st period… that game sucked! I was all excited for the game, you know; two young up & coming teams with lots of speed & some talent up front. Instead I got sleep fest which I couldn’t erase off my PVR fast enough :/ Oh well, at least the Oil broke their losing streak finally.

*holds pointer fingers up*
—Question—
ON coaching a rebuilding team; should the focus of practices be on your own play and the development of THAT system and players more than what the opposing team is coming at you with? SHould you be bothering with telling players what they will be facing when they arent even efficient at playing their own system for 60 minutes.
Could the biggest issue of the oilers be that (based on the footage of oil change and their coaches own words) they are worrying about other teams systems when they cant even play their own effectively?
Perhaps one should -’worry about their *our* own game before trying to make adaptations *changes* for particular opponents’. Infact thats exactly what Scotty BOWman, LArry Robinson and someone named Roger Neilson said …word for word.
