I have incredible disdain for that franchise and their insufferable fans. But I look at it from a big picture perspective. If anyone remembers 2015, the Oilers finished 3rd behind the Coyotes and the Sabres and won the McDavid lottery with roughly a 10% chance.
Things are shaping up almost the exact same way now. Sure I could cheer for them to lose 82 straight games, but that’s not realistic. Ultimately, I would prefer not to be haunted by both McDavid and Dahlin. We haven’t won in 7 straight games against the Oilers mostly because of McDavid. Just looking at the big picture here.
