There are hundreds of adjectives that would easily describe the Edmonton Oilers’ performance in their ugly 9-1 loss to Colorado, but the aforementioned words aptly describe much of this season as well. The Oilers have only won six of their first 16 games — only St. Louis, Buffalo, Nashville and…

The Phantoms wrapped up their first month’s worth of action over the weekend, and with a huge win over the visiting Toronto Marlies, they were able to stretch their winning streak to a season high of four games, put some separation in between them and the trailing Checkers for that third position in the standings, and continue to make some marked progress in fine tuning their team-level process. It wasn’t a perfect showing, as the team struggled a bit in the first period to get their offe...
