“When we lost two straight in December as coaches we said ‘we can’t lose three in a row.’ But as I said after the Calgary game, there’s games where you set a standard for your team. We had games against Calgary, then St. Louis, then Calgary again, that set a standard (five out of six available points). The last two games it’s knee high with the Predators as anxious as the Oilers are. Oilers captain Connor McDavid talked about emotion missing after beating St. Louis then blasting Calgary last weekend, but Draisaitl doesn’t quite buy that. We’re not winning many games playing like that.”Lots of teams, as we’ve said drop a couple in a row, but three?
