Don't buy into the BS fire in their eye crap comes into play.
When things start going wrong, and they will, that team will fold faster then 5 year old playing at the world championship of poker, its in their nature. There's a reason why McDavid for all of his skills hasn't lead a team to a major championship.
The playoffs are a different beast. Last year the Oilers looked underwhelming in beating the kings got all kinds of breaks and ran into a cold goalie against the Flames, and got super hot unusual god fluke mode goaltending by Smith, and then got curb stomped by the Avs.
Their window is now, and I don't see a Stanley Cup contending team, they aren't going to sneak up on anyone this year, they're the hunted now and not the hunters.The bench is everything in the playoffs, and sorry, the Oilers don't got bench.
And then their window slams shut, with 8 million bucks in cap space and 15 players signed and Bouchard and Kostin looking for significant raises, its basically one season next year and then the questions start around sour puss and the holy diver staying.
I can't imagine a team that deserves less respect. They didn't build anything, they lotto'd their way to contention. Their arrogant, freddy Munster lookalike coach needs a good punch to the face.
Do you honestly think that this oilers team is going to beat an experienced Avs team with lots of depth, or a Bruins team or a Dallas? I don't they'll probably get by Seattle though that team has heated up.
Within the next few weeks, all we'll hear from up north is "Wah the refs screwed us", "Wah the league is conspiring against the Oilers", "Wah McDavid asked for a trade"
You know it and I know it.
And your welcome.

His junior team lost in the finals, and then he won a gold at the world championship, world juniors and U18. It is all his fault his teams in the NHL have not won?
The Pittsburgh teams that won were not the most talented teams depth wise either and they won off the backs of their star players.
The series against the Avs was a wild game 1, game 2 blow out, and one goal games in game 3 and 4. That series was closer than what the final result looked. If they don't deserve any respect over how they were built, than neither does Pittsburgh, Chicago, Tampa or Colorado--all teams that were really bad and picked high.
I want you to be right so bad but history says he will win
