I disagree that they are irrelevant. Whilst it doesn't serve much purpose to laugh at them, they are good for a bit of perspective. We've just lost our 4th in a row despite competing well and being slightly unlucky to lose all 4. The Oilers lost 11 in a row and are on track to make it 14 losses in 15 games. They are 8 years into a rebuild, with 3 1st overall picks and a 3rd overall pick.
We are into year 2 of a rebuild. Year 2. We have made significant progress in the last 18 months. Yes, we've not been fantastic of late and yes the losing stings. But if Edmonton is good for anything, they serve as a reminder of how much further along we are and how much better a place we find ourselves in.
