Wow I didn't even realize the league pulled up the booster seat for team destiny again this season.

And they've squandered the gift. Lol!

No, as per usual, the Oilers got it wrong. They aren't team destiny, they're team "density".



they're a bunch of George McFlys.

Those current bubble teams look great!

its even worse than it looks with games played factored...not to mention the fact the Oilers have played ONE top 12 team from last season and stole a win against Montreal

There's NO way that McDavid isn't (somewhat) regretting that extension. Might go down as one of the stupidest things I've ever seen happen on a contractual standpoint.

24-25 per night so far. They play full powerplays, full OTs, participate in Shootouts.

Might? If he doesn't get another sniff of the Stanley Cup finals in Edmonton, it will be hands down the most bonehead contract ever signed by a generational player.
