That's half a season where, when they had decent (far from great) goaltending, they played at a pace that would make them a playoff team.

Pretty straight-forward.
That's still cherry picking. You can find an oilers 30 game stretch that makes the playoffs, or a Toronto stretch that gets close. Every team has good stretches. Playoff teams don't have terrible stretches and are better more often. You can't take segments, that's the very definition of cherry picking
