Oilers Fans Get Their Wish

Many Oilers fans got their wish on the weekend, as Marc-Andre Bergeron was shipped to Long Island. Bergeron's talent in his offensive side was never questioned, he has a great ability to move the puck around and create chances for his teammates. It's the performance in his own end that has had many Oilers fans cringing in pain this year.

Plain and Simple, Bergeron is a liability in his own end. His un-timely give-aways have led to many opposition goals, which simply is not acceptable for a team on the playoff bubble. This trade seems to symbolize the end to the Oilers playoff run having received nothing in return but a prospect, although the absence of Bergeron's defensive mistakes won't go unnoticed in Oil Country.
