Things don't get any easier for McDavid and Oilers as they face Red Wings

The Edmonton Oilers have gotten off to a shaky start this season loosing there first 4 games before winning games in both Calgary and Vancouver against the Flames and Canucks.  But when you consider the teams they have faced in there losses thus far, St Louis, Nashville and the Dallas Stars, this is to be expected, especially from such a young team.

Tonight things won't be any easier for McDavid and the Oilers as they Face Off against the Detroit Red Wings.  Granted The Red Wings aren't the team they used to be, but they have some great talent up front in the likes of Datsyuk and Zetterberg.

However, if the Edmonton Oilers and Connor McDavid can build on there last two games and come out firing on all cylinders early in the game they may have a chance of beating a team that is out to prove something, prove that there team wasn't just about a coach, like Mike Babcock, but it was about everyone contributing on a nightly basis to get the job done.

Perhaps too, the Edmonton Oilers will come out on top if Taylor Hall and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins can get there game going consistently, playing like we know they can play, like we saw them in the game against the Calgary Flames.

The outcome of tonight's game really lies in the hands of the players, it isn't that the Detroit Red Wings are that much better than the Edmonton Oilers, but which players are willing to show up night after night, playing consistent hockey night in and night out and that is where the difference lies and right now the winner of this concept is the Detroit Red Wings.  Cheers for now.
