For all the oiler fans trolling here, you seem to be forgetting some important things
The team is worse, older and more fatigued going into this year as compared to last
Last year’s round one opponent was possibly the weakest playoff opponent in the batch
Last years round three playoff had beaten the previous 2 Stanley cup champions to get to the conference final
The finals opponent was inexperienced and started celebrating too soon. But they woke up and dominated the greatest players in the game in game seven
And round two
Almost Lost to a fourth string goalie, McDavid sliced Hughes face in front of a ref and didn’t receive a penalty and remained in the game to score a huge goal.
Plus
A play that resulted in a suspension and fine for Vancouver, included a McDavid two hander and a Hyman cross check to the face that went completely unpunished.
These truths cannot be ignored
Horseshoes galore
And
They are worse this year
