i would love it to come down to the final game of the season for the final playoff spot. oilers are in as long as some other team doesn't tie them in points becuz the other team has the tie breaker.
the other team gets down early and it looks like a guaranteed loss but then the refs start 'gifting' the losing team powerplays and right at the end of regulation the other team ties it forcing o.t.
overtime sees 'the other team' win on a some completely ridiculous fluke goal
so early in the game the oilers are packing their things to get ready for round 1
then later in the game they need to hit pause while the refs work their magic
then in o.t. they need to unpack their bags as the hockey gods finally give the rest of the league a 'good bounce'
oh the salt would be fantastic - no playoffs for the oil and i think no chance at the lottery becuz they were too "good"   |
Flames play the Kings in the last game of the year. So let's make it the Kings we let get the win in OT that knocks the Oilers out of the playoffs, while the single point for the Flames pushes us into the spot that wins the lottery.
Since the Oilers will have no choice but to trade their 2027 1st this year for help, the 2026 they gave to San Jose will become unprotected. Thus adding stress between trade deadline and the lottery while the Oilers hover on the playoff line.
Then lets have San Jose win the 2nd lottery and move up 10 spots to 6th, just to add extra salt in the wound.
