Just sayin'.

Nice use of your word of the day calender. Anyways, the Oilers will be better than the Flames one day, as this is the cyclical nature of professional sports. Will it be this year? Possibly. However maybe you should check your bravado at the door until the Oilers ACTUALLY start improving (beyond making the huge jump from 30th to 29th in the league). The Oilers have a glut of blue chip youngsters, however they are still very weak in goal and on the back end and until they address these issues, I don't think they're a playoff team yet. So before you preach to us about the proper way to build a winner, maybe you should keep the trash talk to a minimum because this is still a team that has gone 3-15 against us in the last 3 years and has been a collective 78 points behind.
Edit - Food for thought: the Oilers last 3 years have been the worst statistical 3 year span in NHL history.
