All of this is referring to McDavid being drafted? Oh man I hope that kid has strong shoulders.

It's not back. The Flames are on the rise, and the Oilers may be (relatively, which isn't saying a lot). That may breathe more life into the BoA than there's been in a long time. Only time will tell.
It will never again approach what it was in the 80s.
