Bruins vs Oilers Prediction

I’m on the Oilers here. Every time I’m just about ready to fully invest that the Bruins can get back on track, they stink up the joint and all of a sudden they’re back on a four-game losing streak. The Bruins just can’t buy a consistent run of form if their lives depended on it and it’s starting to feel like maybe, just maybe, these are not the same Bruins that have made us money hand over fist for the better part of the last couple of seasons. Edmonton on the other hand, is starting to heat up once again and are just playing the more sound hockey overall from top to bottom right now and I actually feel like I can trust this team on the road which isn’t something I used to be able to say. Until the Bruins show some signs of life and that they can right the ship, I’m going to keep going the other way. Give me Edmonton.
