If you actually are baited into the "this time will be different" narrative after the long, long history that has demonstrated exactly why it won't be, then you're part of the joke now too...

I am also just not sure how well this is actually borne out by the numbers.
The Oilers added the top UFA forward in the off-season, and are getting a substantial offensive boost from Puljujarvi, and yet they actually score fewer goals this year than they did last season. My suspicion is that this does nothing more than shuffle players around the lineup without much in the way of tangible results.
