So hard to give them credit that some are going to the extent of blaming the playoff format, and calling every team they have beat pathetic, whereas they were higher in the standings than the Oilers were both in the divisional format, and 1-8 format. Discounting the teams they feel would've done better against the Oilers, lost to the teams that Oilers are sleepwalking through.
The Oilers are just simply playing better than the others are. The McDavid/Draisaitl combo with stingy defensive play is finally getting the results the hockey
experts were expecting from the Oilers all these seasons. Knob has surprisingly been the coach to figure it out for the team when it comes to playoffs it appears.
