Now I laughed at them, but then I was reading the post game from last nights Jets/Oilers game and a number of Oiler fans are voicing the same opinion in that thread.
As I said to my friends there is a salary cap so just "adding a good goalie" (the example they used was if they had Markstrom) just can't work. But their response is that they are a good/great team with complete crap goaltending.
So for those of you living in Alberta with more opportunity to actually watch the Oilers, how would you actually describe the Oilers play this year.
I put this here, because I was hoping for a fairly unbiased response and figured this was a much more likely place to get that than in the E=NG thread.

Thats just the usual delusion from their fanbase. Their record is a mirage right now with 4 wins against Ottawa.
The Oilers were dog treats at the start of the season, but seemed to have picked up their play due to confidence from the Ottawa gimmes. Their defense seems to be scoring at a ridiculous rate lately too which won't last. We NEED to win both games this weekend to send them back to the shadows where they belong.
