Oilers Address Speed Concerns with Internal Solutions 

Hey there! I just read about the Edmonton Oilers and their speed concerns, and I have to say, I think there's a lot more to this team than meets the eye. Sure, they might have lost some speed with the departures of McLeod, Foegele, and Holloway, but the narrative that they’re slow is a bit misleading.

The Oilers have some of the most electrifying players in the league, like McDavid and Draisaitl, who can change the game in an instant. It's not just about raw speed; it's about how quickly they can move the puck and make decisions. The clips shared by @bcurlock really highlight that. The way they transitioned the puck against the Penguins was impressive, showing that they can play fast even if their bottom six isn't the quickest.

I also love the idea of calling up Noah Philp. He had a strong preseason, and giving him a shot could really shake things up. Plus, having players like Ty Emberson stepping up on the blue line is crucial. If he can continue to make smart plays, it will alleviate some of the pressure on the team.

Overall, I think the Oilers have the potential to surprise a lot of people this season. They just need to find the right combinations and keep that puck moving! What do you think? Do you believe they can overcome this speed narrative?
