"You don't know why you don't like them, all you know is that you find them repulsive." Inglorious bastards.
Regular season is not the problem for the Oilers ~ playoffs are a different level of defensive chaos and the Oilers blue line is not a juggernaut to offensive speed…. I'd say the regular season makes most believe the Oilers are better than they are….thus the letdown when they get owned eventually come playoff time. When the lanes that are wide open in most regular season action get blocked the Oilers have no consistent answer in a 7 game series… 2 years ago they got swept in 4 by a dominant Av's team~ last year in 6 to the KNights… I'd love to think the Oilers come out of the West to beat the East in the Cup but its not a heavy lean ….. too much finesse not enough dirty scoring. The Oilers are too scattered to heavy assault.
