I have my doubts that the Oilers are getting anywhere near the cup. They've had a nice hot streak in regular season hockey.

But them having to go through 7 game series where coaches put together strategies specific to the Oilers makes me smile.

I mean last year against the Kings they didn't look great. Against the Flames they got a lucky break because of the Flames goaltending and against the Avs they got swamped in their own end.

They've got a bunch of players that are either streaking, or playing over their head.

We've seen teams that are hot in the last quarter and then go into the playoffs and get every square inch of their asses kicked.

The best part is that the Oilers are at the end of their window. They have 15 players under contract for next year with about 9 million in cap space.

Their two biggest free agents are Evan Bouchard and Kostin who has stabilized their bottom 6.

Look the Oilers are on a big sugar rush right now. What happens after a sugar rush? The dreaded sugar crash.
