That's one of the funniest parts about Oiler fans when I was living there, is the naivete. I certainly get how there's still some hope for something good to maybe happen, as despite how they've played together, there still is a lot of young talent on the roster.
That said however, in light of how miserably it's gone thus far, how in the world can you be so sure that it WILL happen? How?? Was just up there and my friends were singing that same old tune themselves. There's no concrete evidence whatsoever to back up this claim, it's complete random hope and nothing more. If anything the evidence is piling up in the other direction.
The 2009-2012 days of Oiler fans waiting for this roster to "inevitably" be a Stanley Cup contender due to those #1 picks are long gone now, no matter what they still tell themselves. It's gone far too terribly with that core, consistently, for years now.
