I have to admit that at times the Oilers hype machine sucks me in and tricks me. Mark Spector was on with Rob Kerr the other day and damn near had me convinced that this was a playoff team.
They are definitely bigger (Lucic, Maroon, Nurse, Kassian) but are they better? I am worried that they might be this year?
I have to remind myself that we've gone through this same song and dance every single year for a decade. I just can't help but think that the Oilers will eventually have to get better in spite of themselves.
