What are these great Oilers accomplishments that Flames fans missed?

Oh, I don’t know… every part of the season last year. The oilers won’t make the playoffs after their start. They won’t get past the kings, although a few said they’d get past the kings. Vancouver and Dallas would walk all over them. They’d get swept after game 3 in the finals. Then even many on here were calling the oilers to win game 7. You completely underestimated them all season, except the final game… thanks. Now you’re doing it again this year. Instead of looking at the team as a whole, you’re picking out things that don’t matter to that, like contracts and the future. Im not defending some of the moves nor the future outlook. I think there are some issues with all that. Im looking at the team they have now, and its not no good, its actually a really good team with all the tools to make another deep run. Saying that, it’s sports, even the most optimistic fan has to realize they’re only still slightly over 10% to win the cup as the favorites to do that. Some of the other bragging about a division and downplaying a game 7 finals run are proof of the inane mentality around this place. If the jerseys were reversed and I came on here bragging about a division title 4 years ago and ignore a playoff run like that, I’d be rightfully ostracized.
