The view from Edmonton

23 Comments

The good folks of Edmonton still turn out in large numbers — last night’s announced crowd of 16,839 appeared to be an accurate count — to watch some rough results. The Oilers are now 0-7-3 in their last 10, nave been shut out three times during that span and scored one goal in four other games. It’s a young team with injuries, so things will get brighter, but last night’s game represented two major points for the Kings, who remained in fifth place and saw both sixth-place Nashville and eighth-place Chicago lose in regulation. Fourth-place Phoenix beat ninth-place Dallas in a shootout. Here’s a sampling of how last night’s Kings-Oilers game was covered by the Edmonton media…
