Oilers are doing fine lol, and nobody is near them division wide, only league wide.
Even if the Oilers drop the next 2 games, they are still in a very favourable position to keep up San Jose's pace for the division title.

With Quick out for months, with Calgary being shaky and soso, with Vancouver slowly starting to be who we all thought they were, with Anaheim still having a slow start and not having Andersen like last year to back them up, with Arizona going for Nolan Patrick, the Oilers have the best odds at making the playoffs in the league.

I have to brag a bit in this thread. Come on now.

Anyone who actually said oilers wouldn't make it are dumb. They're way better

I may have said they wouldnt

was way to early to vote in a thread like that about the Edmonton McDavids

Still too early to tell.

Anything can happen to a team.

Usually around Christmas is when you know who is legit.

I have been proved wrong so far. I thought it would be the status quo with incompetent management regardless of who took the position. Chiarelli has had the guts to make the changes that were needed.

First instalment of Mcdavid vs Mathews tonight.
Mcdavid has a nack for lighting Toronto up. Should be a gooder
