Very simply, if every goalie we played this year, played their average on that night, we would be much better in the standings. So if Elliott or McElhinney or Markstrom or Ward or etc all played their .905 to .920 save percentage on the nights we faced them then would have won those games. But for some reason several goalies this year have had outstanding performances against the Oilers. Not making excuses, it is just plain statistics that are not going our way. Now there has been several games that we earned the loss but there has been just as many that we earned the win and didn't get the points and those are the real killers.
