I suspect pretty close to 50/50. The '80s were not kind to the good guys.

Flames are way up in the head to head

Any great pictures you guys have would also be fantastic. I'm spending my afternoon making fun of a large group of oiler fans.

You could link to a video showing a goalie making a glove save.

For some godawful reason an Edmonton journal article on the oilers came up on my Facebook. Probably because I clicked on the ‘James Neal’ waived article a couple days ago. Like a car accident, I read the article. The banner waving is strong up there these days- it made me sick ... the article brags that the oilers are so deep with actual NHL players right now they can scratch ‘actual nhl players’ because the team is doing so well.
And I quote ‘especially on defence, which has been a black hole for decades’. Has?

Also in the article:
- Neal is a useful player (no mention of how much they are paying him to be on the taxi squad )
- Khaira looks big, fast and confident
- the oilers right side of defence has become an area of strength
- Evan Bouchard has elite skills and pedigree
- Ra-ra, go oilers, we are the best franchise in the world

This needs to be bookmarked. 100% that's going to happen

Edmonton has played Ottawa four times, and won every game. Winnipeg has played Ottawa five times, and have won four.

Yeah exactly, it's a big part why the Oilers are even propped up in the first place. But the fans will forget all that come the spring final stretch and call shenanigans

The Jets and Oilers play a two-game set in Edmonton starting tonight. Who will win between the dumpster fire and the crappy team that can beat only Ottawa on the road?

Comedy wins

I'll take Hellebuyck over even the best version of Smith.

Beyond that, hard to say. Jets are good (certainly better than the oilers) when they show up though, a lot like the Flames.

[direwolf]

Haha, stupid Oilers!

There have been 4 games for the Oilers this year (23.5% of their season) where they scored 4 or 5 goals. Total of 18 goals for scored in those 4 games.

Alas Edmonton is No Good as they somehow allowed a truly absurd 26 goals against in those same games, causing them to lose all 4 in regulation. Score 18 goals for in 4 games and not even a loser point to show.
