Lets be honest, when the Oilers make the playoffs its an aberration. You're likely to see Hailey's Comet more in you're life time then the Oilers making the playoffs consistently.
Once again though we see all the outliers, a team that relies on special teams, getting a career season out of a senior citizen in goal and a bunch of career years. Add to a perfect storm of a weak sauce division where the Oilers feasted on the Sens.
They'll get bounced out early. Oiler fans and Staples will scream that this is a sign that the Oilers are serious cup contenders. Then they'll plummet into lottery land again next year and someone will pay for it with a skype call.
