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.

Yup, probably.
They're getting used to career seasons, which is a dangerous game. And even with the career seasons/clips from the small handful of guys that allow the team to compete at all, they don't come close to the Flames' 2nd overall season. That's a low ceiling for a team with two top 5 guys on it.
