O’S may not be hitting the ground running in Oil country, but they’re also dealing with life without their captain (moreau) and high scoring defenseman and former king Lubo.
In addition, the Oilers made an investment in their future with Patrick O’Sullivan and it will just take a little time for him to settle in and for the Oilers to find their game after having so much upheaval in the form of:

Pitkanen in, Pitkanen out.
Cole in, cole out.
Pronger in, Pronger out.
Torres gone,
Stoll gone,
Greene gone,
Bergeron gone,
Garon in, Garon out,
Penner in, but out of favor with the coach.
Souray in…
Lowe in, Lowe in the back office.

There’s a lot going on in Edmonton, so Patrick O’Sullivan fans have a lot to hope for once things settle down a bit.

Cheers,
Cristobal
