I love how Oilers fans say they're better off because of more OTL vs OT/SO wins. Only Oiler logic would say that it isn't better to WIN.

In fairness, I don't think they are saying it's better to lose in OT / SO than to win, they are saying it's better to win in regulation. And they have more regulation wins than we do, which is what I believe the basis of their argument is (and one that I actually agree with).
