Bobby Nichs dog and pony show to taxpayer CBC radio clearly was party of the larger edict handed down to all press, that positivity is the next lie they are going to sel
And look, shocking even the most sedate of cbc radio interviewers, who didn't believe Nicholson when he said that small adjustments were going to take the Oilers into the playoffs. Not matter that they are still tied for 3rd last in the league.
Watching the Arizona broadcast they had Draisaitl with the 3rd star and I thought that was reasonable. Of course the Oilers broadcast has him as 1st star. Everything associated with the Oilers is a joke.

Jeebus the Blues may never lose again. 6 points back of Nashville with three games in hand.
I think our old enemy Anaheim isn't quite dead yet. Since firing Carlyle it looks like they're willing to realize that Bob Murray will trade them to Edmonton if they dog it.
One of Anaheim or Chicago will claim that other wild card spot.
The Blues also have the Jets in their sights, just 7 back and even games played. Yep, the Ducks are starting to fly again. It wouldn't be a surprise to see both the Ducks and Bhawks get in, the Stars don't look that good.
After such hot streaks, we've seen many teams go the other way after it ends. Like Florida's 12 game streak a couple years back or Buffalo this season. All streaks must end.
Good for them, though I'd be wary about how things go when they finally cool off, which may be bad timing with playoffs upcoming.
You're right, those teams crashed back to earth or slowed down a bit after it ended. It goes both ways. The Wild and BJs went 12 and 14 game winning streaks 2 years ago and both teams made the playoffs.
