That's media for you. It's a story that sells, and it becomes an easy truth after a while.
Truth is, while their players as a group might have had more potential, ours as a group have already passed them in development. Troy Ward, Bob Hartley and the rest of the Flames organization deserve some of the credit for that, but mostly it's just a failure of the Oilers organization.
So yeah, honestly the Oilers are just no good. But I don't mind this storyline, because it probably benefits us and hurts them. Keep telling them that they're good, and they'll never get better.
