LOL Oiler fans wont give it up. Even if you made that thread today they would still say they have the better core.

We did win that poll by a comfortable margin though.

corsi guys have a good reason to say what they say. not one team has maintained what avs have in that regard. they have been right quite often. one of the smartest and most knowledgeable adv. stats guys said that avs won't get 95 points next year or something like that...

also those records in OT/SO and close games.

upgrade the D, better F depth and i'm not worried.

Aslong as the Avs make the playoffs every year Corsi be damned. Does corsi take into account quality shots?prime scoring chances? Like I said earlier Varlamov has been amazing this season but I can think of 3-4 games where he actually needed to steal one for us whereas in 2009 Anderson stole half the games we won or atleast it felt that way.

I bumped up that thread just to get my post deleted, but that wasn't a problem. This Oilers fan sends me a PM about things in that thread and I tried to send one back and he blocks me (wasn't anything bad he sent me nor my response). Such a man way to stand up for your pride or team.

I still don't comprehend what's the problem with winning close games. That's what good teams do. Just like saves in baseball, it's actually a good thing for a team to have a ton of saves.

It is a great thing that I have great self-control (otherwise I could pile up infractions)... many of the statements in there by Oilers fans are facepalm worthy.

Why do people insist on comparing the Oilers to the Avalanche? Aside from both teams having had very high picks recently, the two organisations are completely different. Avalanche have taken risks in building their team by making blockbuster trades, drafted good players in later rounds and surrounded their core with a good supporting cast.

It gets annoying to see people continue to compare the two organisations.

Because HFBoards is obsessed with prospects. All they see is 3 top 3 picks, and they freak out wanting to compare them to teams in similar situations... not understanding that management going back to EL and PL (I don't believe Sherman was more than a figure head) actually had a plan. Target all the players you need to build a core and pay whatever you must to get those core players.

Remember that thread about which would you rather have 'top picks or cups' and alot of people said top picks or something like that.
