Ugh. I guess...its bad either way but I guess Oilers.

Because I honestly am not sure this team can beat the Ducks but I'm relatively sure that when the playoffs start the Oilers will suffer from:

'what the hell is this we thought the season was over, we've never been this far before and where are we and what is going on' syndrome.

But the problem with this is that there is no winning.

If the Oilers win:

"McDavid is the greatest hockey player ever, Gretzky was garbage compared to him, and the Oilers are the greatest hockey team ever assembled! Long live McDavid and...I dont know, Maroon?!!"

If The Flames win:

"The superpowered Flames marginally overtook the fledgling Oilers in their first season of the playoffs by playing dirty and shooting Talbots kneecaps off in the parking lot! They're young and have a lot to learn but the Flames are going nowhere!"

Honestly, the media has sucked up to the Oilers so much for so long, and completely inexplicably, that they have to ride that horse no matter what. Its insane.
