The Oilers themselves have mentioned the losing culture, so it most definitely does exist.
I recall Hall mentioning that they need to start pushing themselves more now that they have an improved roster and stop accepting losses.
When you go through years of losing and the coach patting their team on the back for putting up a good effort, that is a losing culture.
But one bad season does not mean you have a losing culture. Whoever mentioned that is an idiot.
