Phil 'The Thrill' Will solve all their problems.

I want to see them get Kessel, Maroon and recall Campbell and get a bump of false belief that they've solved their problems only for it to fall apart all over again.
It is remarkable how bad the Oilers have been this season and I absolutely love it. As someone who is clearly a hater of that franchise I didn’t see this team as the cup favorite juggernaut they were hyped to be back in the late summer. They have 2 of the best players who have been overplayed for the last 5 years and they are finally slowing down. Their supporting cast is quickly aging as well with Hyman, Nuge, Kane, Ekholm, over 30 years old. Campbell and Nurse both have boat anchor contracts that make it tough to add good talent around them. They have drafted so poorly that there aren’t any young players pushing for spots and proving value on ELC’s.
There is a long standing culture of losing that was built for more than a decade and the best player of a generation hasn’t been able to pull the team out of it and I love it
And they still have to pay James Neal $1.916M for the next 2 years. Between him and Campbell they are paying guys $5.786M not to play for them.
"We keep coming back to this: How are you going to explain this? Keep your optimism? Because they are the team we know they are. So, it's a moment of (somehow) relaxation that's going to snap them out of this."
Propaganda Minister Baghdad Bob Stauffer follows this up with, "At the end of the day we're looking at a team that finished last year going 14-0-1, correct?"

I ran into him the other day and he asked me what I wanted and I told him it was for him not to score 12 goals for the Oilers. And also fries with my meal.

There are potentially 91 teams that Edmonton teams could be better than.
They are better than 5.
Of the 91 teams in biggest leagues that Edmonton teams play in, there are only 5 that could not say "Well, at least we aren't Edmonton".
But to be honest, I think those 5 teams probably would say that anyway.
This is outstanding BBS! Just spectacular! Would you mind if I plagiarize this for use elsewhere?
