Eh, I wouldn't go that far. This year, sure. And yeah 2017. In 2018 we both were no good, but CGY still finished higher in the standings and split the season series. And 2020 EDM only finished 2 pts up and CGY won 3 of 4 vs Oilers last year. EDM was a more dynamic group, but they looked soft & inexperienced in the playoffs. We (somehow) appeared as the more solid, battle-tested group with a higher compete level come playoff time. And of course more success in the end (which isn't saying much).
I still say CGY was overall better 2018-20, not by much in 18 & 20, but I give them the edge in the end. Yeah feels like it's now swung the Oilers way this year, but after 6 years of McDavid, why the heck has it even taken this long?
