What year is it? Because the Edmonton Oilers have disastrous goaltending, careless defending, recently fired their coach and even Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl can’t fix it. Elsewhere, LeBron James is an MVP candidate and the Detroit Lions lost on American Thanksgiving. Fetch me a calendar, please.
It’s great. The Oilers have the third-worst record in the NHL, the third-worst goal differential in the NHL, and are tied for the second-most losses in the NHL with Chicago — a franchise that set fire to the place for the insurance money last year, and the insurance money was Connor Bedard. The Oilers will undoubtedly improve, as they have never had a worse record in the franchise’s history. This can’t last.
