I joined host Min Dhariwal on the CBC Edmonton News for my weekly television segment to discuss all things Oilers. Clip is here and starts at the 16:00 mark: CBC Edmonton News (2019, March 14)

Topics we covered:

• Last night’s loss to the Devils and the playoff aspirations. For me, it’s been obvious for a while that the Oilers aren’t playoff contenders.
• The key drivers for their recent success, which has largely been goaltending. Over their last 10 games, the Oilers have six wins, but it’s due in large part to their team save percentage at even-strength (93.42%, 6th in the league). The team has posted a 45.15% Corsi For percentage (score-adjusted) over that stretch, a good indicator that this team has some major issues to address.
• The penalty kill, which allowed another two goals last night, and continues to be one of the worst in the league. I mentioned a couple things the Oilers could look into doing, which I had also written about recently: Drivers and Anchors on the Penalty Kill – The SuperFan (2019, March 4)
• The general manager search, and the importance of expanding their scope and looking for ideas from outside the industry. Related article here, which includes my previous work.
