I remember two separate interviews with Ebs (and there are probably more) where he kept referencing their high powered offense, yet were finishing last year after year. I clearly remember one of them being the old After Hours, and Ebs why trying to make sense of how could a team as good as the oilers continually finish last all the time. They believed their own BS.

The only thing high powered about their offense in their TDPG (Toe drags per game) stat which is through the roof. ATDPG (attempted toe drags per game) is even higher! Best in the NHL! That just has to convert to goals and wins eventually!? Doesn't it?
