Hmmm, something doesn't add up. In the last 4 weeks the Oilers have played 13 games and have won 9 of them, including games against Washington, Tampa, LA, and St. Louis. They have beaten every divisional opponent improving their playoff chances and diminishing the chances of those other teams. They have earned 19 of 26 points (.730 clip), and about to extend that to 21 of 28. They are a one line team that relies heavily on the PP, but they are getting it done and look like a pretty solid bet for the post season. Give credit where credit is due. They are some how finding ways to win, as nauseating as it is to admit that.
