Unfortunately, the Oilers are so bad they make HD hockey look no good.

Especially in those horrible orange uniforms. I still don't get why anyone likes those.

See that's how you make fun of the Oilers! No need to make up some silly script that's not funny and no one reads. We give you enough material without having to make up a Broadway play of crap.

Here's to hoping the Blue Jackets **** pump the Oilers on January 3rd.
Oilers didn't even deserve that point tonight, they were absolutely gifted that late PP opportunity.

Edmonton has way too many overtime/shootout losses.
They stink

If they rely on loser points to get to the playoffs, they should be easy pickings. In straight W/L we're 20-19, they're 19-19. This is after our abysmal start and their creampuff schedule so far.

Where have we seen this story before?
Wasnt there a team many years ago that went on an unreal tear and then it was discovered that most of those points were shootout points?
Oh yeah...the Oilers. The Kings of smoke and mirrors.

It's actually OT/SO wins that are more concerning in terms of playoff success. If you rank by regulation wins you have the best predictor of playoff success. Too lazy to find the analysis though.

Ha ha. The No Goods haven't won a New Years Eve game since 1985. 31 freaking years!!!

Food for thought: the Oilers last 3 years have been the worst statistical 3 year span in NHL history.

Can I just complain about the constant fawning on a national broadcast over a franchise and specifically team that has not made the playoffs in 10 years and is only remotely close due to a lottery ball?
I always assume that I've become immune to it, but at specific times it really bugs me.

Meh, it's actually only 15 games worth and with what, 4 cups in that span?
Do you know how long it's been since the flames won a March 4th game?
Me either, but I'm sure there is a date somewhere on the calendar that has not been good in years. Or perhaps an arena...

You should look it up and start a thread over at an Oilers site with that detail in it.
This thread is about how bad the Oilers have been and continue to be. It is typical of an Oiler fan to have to bring up Stanley Cups that were won 27 years ago or something like that to defend their team's awfulness.

Clearly it was in jest, due to the fact 31 years was brought up, hence the eyes rolling...
but if things are required to be so serious and specific with no conversations in an open forum, perhaps there should be prerequisites to joining and participating here...

Hint: check the records book

As an Oiler fan you shouldn't be shocked when people rebuttal you on a Flames forum nor should you be shocked at the funny stats rival fans find for rival teams... Especially in the E=NG thread 4th edition. It's funny to me too because the constant counter from you guys is those glorious 80's cups, it's like we have our own gigantic power rangers Kevin Lowe built from 7 or 8 sour Oilers fans who are desperate to prove that the McDavid Fever present day Oilers are just as good as the glory days.
