The Edmonton Oilers Need To Pick Up the Pace

from Jim Matheson of the Edmonton Journal,

So the Edmonton Oilers have one loser point out of four on the table through their first two games, and they’ve given up nine goals, with the Stanley Cup ring-bearers next on the playbill.

Even with some good moments, it’s all about winning for the Oilers, and once again, they are stumbling out of the gate.

“At worst we have to be .500 in our first 10 games,” said David Perron.

That’s 10 points in October. They have one with eight games left. LA, Arizona (on the road), Vancouver, Tampa, Washington, Montreal, Carolina and Nashville at home to end October. They’ll have their usual road trip east during the annual rodeo at Rexall Place early next month — six games.

Make no mistake, there has been some light in the first two games.
