This was my first NHL game. I have been to several Milwaukee Admirals games (AHL) and there were a lot of differences between this game and the Admirals games. Not sure if it was because it was NHL, Rexall Place, or the Oilers themselves. But it was a fairly enjoyable game. I was there while visiting Edmonton on vacation, though I was sort of rooting for Minnesota, since they're the closest team to where I live. Wild won 4-2. The Oilers aren't horrible, but they struggled last year, and they are struggling this year. What I observed at this game was that the Oilers were horrible at passing. Everyone wanted to take a shot on goal if they got the puck, which doesn't work in team sports with interchangeable offense and defense.
