Yeah, it's not happening.

I keep thinking this...

The Oilers last season got the 'Yellow Brick Road' all the way to the Finals. They got every lucky break in the book and a few new ones.

And they got worse defensively, got older, and their goaltending, which was suspect but got hot, is unlikely to hold.

Not to mention, you can only ride Horses hard all day and put them away wet for so long. Eventually they'll tire.

People keep talking about 'windows to win?' They had it.

I think McDavid's whiny tantrum is because he probably knows it.

That was their shot. They shot it.

If you thought this season would have a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention.
