They were saved by the McDavid lottery ball - simple as that.
See that is the thing.

If your average Oiler fan just said "Holy Poop, we were a hot mess until we got lucky and fell a$$backwards into McDavid", I could accept it. But the majority of Oilers fans I know talk like this team was built through hard work, when in actuality the opposite is true.
