Sportsclubstats gives them a 38% weighted chance to make the playoffs, less with 50/50.

Just such a weird team to pick as a "surefire" playoff team.
It's what happens in here though when things are going badly. The negativity on anything turns into massive hyperbole.

For this Oiler fan, they want to paint a doom and gloom picture for their team, and saying that both their most heated rivals are surefire playoff teams helps make things seem even more bleak.
