The Edmonton Journal notes the Oilers sport a mere 5-4-3 record at Rexall Place, which isn't good enough if the team is determined to make a playoff push.
It definitely hasn't been good enough to win over the crowd.
"We have to find a way to play some better hockey and really bring the atmosphere back to what it was," captain Shawn Horcoff said Tuesday, on the eve of a home meeting with the San Jose Sharks. "I know if we make the playoffs, it's going to be there, but the fans here have had some tough times.
"They haven't seen a lot of good important hockey here in a few years. We just need to find a way to put some success together here to get the excitement back in the building."
The Oilers close out this four-game homestand on Saturday against the St. Louis Blues. They will then play 10 of their remaining 18 games at Rexall.
