At some point the Oilers will get on a roll and win a string of games. I think the Flames have already had their roll, and the season just goes downhill from here.

This is so like the doomed highschool kid leading up to prom. He starts by asking the hottest girl in school to the prom, she shoots him down and laughs at his Aquaman T-Shirt. So he goes down the chain and asks a semi hot girl out, she says that she wouldn't be caught dead with him. So he keeps going down the chain, to cute to average to fugly, to the chick with a extra head growing in her shoulder, to the freaky girl that likes other girls, and finally settles on large marge the lunch lady. He tells himself, she has to say yes, it'll be my first date ever and that's progress.
So he screws up his courage and approaches her as she's boiling mystery meet in a massive pot. He asks her out, she takes off her hairnet, scratches that boil on the end of her nose, lifts her breasts off the floor and shoots him down.
Once again, he spends prom night at home furiously doing something naughty to the latest radio shack catalog.
So what's the lesson in this story? After 7 years of being out of the playoffs, and to the point in rebuild number 2, even thinking that passing a Flames team in the first year of a rebuild isn't progress and isn't worth bragging about. The Flames are this years large Marge, and the fact that they are ahead of the uber talented omg they're special Oilers is the ultimate embarrassment, if the Oilers aren't in contention for a playoff spot this year or in the playoffs the rebuild is pretty much a failure, and I wish Oil fans luck in the new era of blow it up and rebuild mark 3.
The Oilers should have been focused on a playoff spot, not on where they finish in accordance with Calgary.
Its a sad sad state of affairs in Shelbyville.
