Goaltender Woes
I'm not sure whether it is consoling that other teams are having goaltending troubles or not. On the one hand, misery loves company, but on the other hand, it sure will make it tough to swing a trade without overpaying.
After seing some of the weak goals that Aebischer gave up tonight, and reading Tortorella's merciless rip of John Grahame, I actually don''t feel so bad. Especially after Jussi's game tonight.
As long as the Oilers keep winning at a decent clip and the goaltenders only blow a game or two here or there, I don't see any reason to make an expensive trade that breaks up any of our skating lines. They are just playing too well right now.
