too early to say, if the Oilers make the playoff this year and crash down much like the Avs, Leafs and Flames...then yes its a total fluke
but Chiarelli actually put an identity onto this team this year and they're better in all areas and it's showing on the ice...playoff team? who knows

our "depth" players have been good this year..Pitlick has 4 goals, Kassian has 2 goals, Letestu has 6 points
McDavid has 3 points in the last 6 games and we're 3-2-1....hardly "riding" him at the moment
you forgot Cam Talbot, who many around predicted would fall back down to Earth
