from John MacKinnon of the Edmonton Journal,

If they made a film about this 2014-15 Oilers team, they’d title it The Blunder Boys, and it has veered from comedy into farce.

The Oilers constant repetition of mistake after giveaway after gaffe has become a joke, as team captain Andrew Ference emotionally underscored after their 5-2 loss to the Arizona Coyotes on Monday night.

The Oilers blooper reel of gaffes, giveaways, pratfalls and collapses is feature-film length about now, just 25 games into an NHL season gone horribly wrong. The mistakes by the 6-15-4 Oilers blur into one by now, don’t they?

The Oilers performance Monday night is the sort that gets coaches fired, if not coaches and general managers as a package, deserved or not. When a team — a talented one — is bumbling along in this fashion, something has to happen. It’s that simple.

Ference, for one, clearly believes the onus for failure falls squarely on the players, not the coaches.
