I used to scratch my head at their logic that the 2016/17 season was the norm and last year was an outlier. In 16/17 they literally had the softest schedule, no injuries, and caught a lot of teams off guard because they sucked for the previous decade.
In the summer they trade out Eberle for the worse Strome and get the weight of Cup favorites on their shoulders. Last year they revert to the same Oiler team we all know and love which is a mediocre to down right brutal team. Some fans held hope that the one year in 12 was the real team but many of us knew that year was the outlier and they are who we thought they were
