I went grocery shopping at Safeways last night and the guy stocking the fruit was wearing a bright orange McDavid jersey.
It was gross.
Look this whole year has been a massive pack of luck for the Oilers, they get a schedule with a quarter of the games coming on back to back for other teams. During the regular season the underlying numbers show that McDavid's line carried this team. Talbot gives ungodly levels of goaltending and plays more games then logic allows. They had few if any injuries.
Everything has gone right for the Oilers, its also like in the playoffs they siphoned off every bit of luck from the Flames for example.
This is the height of things for the Oilers. The ultimate Cinderella season for them. People talked about the Flames being unsustainable a couple of years ago and look at what happened. Their luck shifted last year and it was a disaster.
The Oilers are unsustainable.
