Didn't realize this was a Montreal thread.@Tobias Kahun @La Bamba I was just having fun with a conversation I had in this thread a couple days ago.
I realize point pace doesn't mean much when half of your season to date was terrible hockey.
How's that looking now? Oilers have now leaped the blues and have 2 games in hand over them. 1 point out of a WC pace.How are the Blues out of it? They're one point out. The pace will fluctuate, of course.
Pace isn't an absolute predictor because the trade deadline changes teams and injuries can derail some seasons. If all teams were guaranteed to be healthy and ice the same roster from start to finish, then yes.
The Oilers have, however, ruined their chance of going on an extended losing streak and still making the playoffs.
Edit: To your edit - how am I splitting hairs? The Oilers themselves argued Cup or Bust. If anything other than a Cup is a bust - it's pretty straightforward. However, fans are changing the definition of bust for argument sake - which is ridiculous.
And just like that, the Oilers are now above .500.......how many times do people never learn....never write off a team based on early play.....
You can keep on not realizing thatDidn't realize this was a Montreal thread.
They way Knoblauch and Coffey have the team rolling... Definitely was the right call.Woodcroft lost the room
Not overly surprising to see those odds. They're 1 point out of a playoff spot with 2 games in hand, and they have the #1 xGF% at 5 on 5 in the league, while having a PP that is ranked #1 the past 4 years.![]()

This site has them at 82.7% - higher than Toronto.
12 back of Van with 3 games in hand isn't that big of a hole with almost 60 games to play.eh it went on long enough that they were digging themselves a genuine points hole
they turned it around quickly enough that it wasn't quite enough to put them fully out of it and this 8 game winning streak has them back in the mix for a wildcard spot now but even now they're still well behind the top 3 in their division
The difficulty of the schedule also affects the percentage. Perhaps Edmonton's toughest games are behind them?Not overly surprising to see those odds.

Can't really explain their start this year, but this is an elite hockey team. Hopefully their good defensive play and goaltending holds up.
Tucked into their race car beds. Popping into the GDT on mommys iPad every once in a while to tell everyone how bad the Oilers opponent is playing so we all know they aren’t winning on their own merit.Oiler fans know full well that certain posters are laying in wait
That seems a bit over the top. Campbell only played five games this season, and while his stats were bad, the exact same thing could be said about Skinner, who wasn't winning any games either. Not to mention that Campbell not playing well didn't stop the Oilers from winning games with him last year.Robid'ing Campbell was definitely the right call. Can't be successful with goalie basically sabotaging you.
