| So where was that scoring all season, Oilers? Will be very interesting to see what they do to improve; still seem ready for a breakout. | ||

| The Oilers are going down with hardly any fight. They have lost seven of eight -- all regulation games -- and have just eight goals in those seven losses. Yuck. | ||

| Can you imagine the Oilers drafting No. 1 overall for a fourth straight year? They seem to be getting closer to at least having good odds for the top pick in the lottery. They have five straight losses by a combined 17-4. Ugly finish. | ||

| As was to be expected, this team goes up and down, and right now it's up. They just blitzed the Canucks on Saturday and now have climbed into that wild logjam in the West in the race for eighth. | ||

| On a four-game homestand the Oilers went 1-1-2 and ended it by being booed off the ice. It could be a crushing stretch when all is said and done with the Oilers now in 13th, four points out. | ||
| 03/18/2013 | 21 | 26 |
| After losing five straight they've picked up seven of the last eight points to stay within shouting distance in the jam-packed West. I'm sure they want the playoffs, but one more high pick wouldn't hurt. | ||
| 03/11/2013 | 26 | 27 |
| Just when you start thinking they might be the lottery leader again, they go and beat the Blackhawks, in Chicago no less. | ||

| How is it possible that an NHL team, particularly one with as much young talent as the Oilers, can go an entire period without a shot as they on Sunday night in Minnesota? It's unfathomable ... But they're very young and you expect those inconsistencies. | ||

| The big question in Edmonton this season is what's going on with Ryan Nugent-Hopkins? He has just one goal and six assists in 17 games. But he's only shooting 2.6 percent. That should even out and the goals will come. | ||
| 02/18/2013 | 20 | 20 |
| Losers of six of their last eight games, it seemed to be a matter of time before their style of play caught up to them. They are getting good goaltending, though. Now if they can only get Ryan Nugent-Hopkins going. | ||

| If their AHL numbers during the lockout are any indication, this will be the year they start to climb out of the cellar. This team has the best potential to be the most underrated here at the start of the season, but I still think they're a year away, most thanks to the D. ... Getting Justin Schultz was a coup. | ||
