This is post-Iginla Rebuild that started 11 years ago? There have been highs and way more lows, but puts in perspective how long this group has been going at it. If we dismantle its going to take a while to get back. Although Tre hiring the wrong coach 3 times prolonged the ups and downs getting here.
Just amazing what it takes sometimes to build a good team.
Despite media fawning the Oilers (15 years in) are not there yet either. The Jets got to the conference finals few years ago right? Then faded out. I am thinking the Oilers with all their issues will take a step back next year.
So much time invested by fans and the outcome uncertain makes for a tough day like today.
That said they should try and sign Johnny and trade my favorite player Chucky. Try to get some players that one day could help carry him.
