See this quote from yesterday - You're supposed to build the best program you can so you have as much depth so you don't miss people.

The four former first overall picks combined to score all five of the Oilers goals while combining for nine points.

It may have been the easy move to make but it was also the wrong one. Something tells me this was not all on the head coach, as this organization seems unwilling to give up on the notion of using Hall at centre.

While fans in Edmonton and Toronto, have little to cheer about these days - there is still very meaningful hockey being played in a number of Canadian cities. The Montreal Canadiens under the stellar play of Carey Price have a good shot to be the top seeded team in the Eastern Conference. Andrew Hammond and the Ottawa Senators have been the Cinderella story of the league with a great push for a playoff spot. It is hard not to want to see them make it in.

This one was over in the first period. All Calgary did was score four goals, including not one, but two short handed goals. On the bright side, the lone Leafs’ goal of the period was scored by Richard Panik on a power play. Calgary’s top line of Sean Monahan, Jiri Hudler, and Johnny Gaudreau combined for nine points in the game, and to no one’s surprise were named the three stars of the game.

While the Oilers did hold a two goal lead heading into the third period, did anyone honestly feel as though this one was in the bag? In the span of five minutes and forty-three seconds, Edmonton watched their lead turn into a one goal deficit and ultimately into a sixth consecutive loss against their provincial rival.
