Lol! This.

You want to know whats even funnier? You remember that time Lowe (or was it MacT?) said that the Oilers were currently karmically paying for their success in the 80s?

Well right now they've got a couple good players that they trot out for half the game night after night after night.

So they went to the WCF last season...on the backs of those horses. The longer and deeper they fluke their way in the playoffs the longer and harder they ride those horses.

Theres limits to how long you can keep that up. So, ironically, the more playoff success they have....the less playoff success they are likely to have in the future.
