from Jim Matheson of the Edmonton Journal,
It’s one thing to get caught in a washing machine spin cycle and get your clock cleaned by the St. Louis Blues on Tuesday, but after walloping Detroit Red Wings one night later, where was the rinse and repeat against a Buffalo Sabres team Friday that had lost seven straight games?
They said all the right things after showing some character after the Blues no-show, saying it was only one game and they had to do it again against the Sabres, who had won just two of 10 home games.
Unfortunately, it was all lip service as the Sabres showed a pulse and the Edmonton Oilers had none in a 3-1 loss with backup goalie Laurent Brossoit holding them in through 40 minutes, allowing a bullet by Jacob Josefson until giving up a softie on his glove side to Jack Eichel early in the third. Kyle Okposo finished it empty net....
They’re now 8-13-2, and proved beyond a shadow of a doubt they’re a bad team.
