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.

They are irrelevant because the oilers winning or losing doesn't get the Calgary flames 2 points the flames do that. The is no need for oiler talk in our post games like I said earlier in the thread guys that say oh well at least we get to watch the oilers lose. So what we have just watched our team lose 4 in a row what purpose does an oilers loss do us ? Irrelevant
