Also, the statement "they're not likely to lose". Like they did out of the gates when they fell on their faces? Why not? Not so sure we should just ignore/forget that part and pretend it isn't relevant. It's possible they stumble again based on their earlier record.
People high on the Oilers need to remember that, just like this/any team, they're subject to lose at times. And they're not there yet so yes, their win streak is impressive but it simply offsets their HORRIBLE start. They were desperate and have gone on an amazing roll...like our team did last year. Nothing to lose stuff.
Home ice matters but...this team did very well on the road.
People who pencil it all in have been wrong before. Not sure they have it all figured out in advance based on paper and schedules.
Some people will never really buy in I guess. Always setting us up to fail.
