Pride comes before the fall, and this organization has fallen and it has proven it is not championship quality.

Lets be honest here. Oilers were not planning to tank during the McDavid year, they just really lucked out on a generational talent. Do you honestly think Edmonton without McDavid (even with Draisaitl) would be anything but a perennial bottom dwelling team? That team should rightfully continue to be mocked IMO. The best they can do with 1 generational guy and 1 franchise guy is to continue being a bubble team.
