The Leafs are the only decent team they've played lately, and they only won that game because Toronto s*** the bed and blew a 2 goal lead.

Seattle did the same thing last night, and they also got some help from the refs with 2 McPP goals. This current streak is all smoke and mirrors. Oilers may look unbeatable when playing against bottom feeders and teams that are outside the playoff picture, but they wouldn't last long in a 7 game series against any of the top teams in the west. Hell, the Leafs would probably beat them in 6 or less.
