Yup. I've been saying for years up here that Oilers fans' hockey season is June(Draft Day)-December. The yearly first over-all selection gets em all jacked up, then they brag all summer about it and how good they're gonna be and how the Flames are (were) sooo old, and share their Kool-Aid with the national media who somehow falls for it every year too. Then by New Years' when the wheels have fallen off and half the teams' on IR, they finally go quiet again, until next draft day. Rinse, repeat.
I know this year's been a little different for them, but also keep in mind the shortened season. Not too hard to stay within 10pts of the playoff race after only 35 games.
