I mean outside of the reffing and the league being rigged, I’m curious… if the oilers win their division, play Vegas, Colorado and Florida on their way to the cup, would you still have excuses? Again, outside of the reffing and league being rigged, that goes without saying here.

Excuses for what? they lost.
Fact is Dallas had a way harder road to the conference finals...taking on Vegas and Colorado took a lot out of them Vs. LA and Vancouver. It was an extremely fortunate bracket for the Oilers. Still Dallas outplayed the Oilers badly especially in game six but sometimes a team just gets all the breaks. Usually cinderella doesn't win the big prize in the end though.
Montreal was in the finals a few years ago...they certainly weren't the 2nd best team in the NHL. Nor were the Oilers IMO.
