@5 Mins 4 Ftg started the predictions today, so let's keep things polling: Predict the Oilers record for the coming 2021-22 season. I've seen prognostications in the 101-105 point range for the Oilers. How many points do you think the Oilers finish with? Are you a pessimist or an optimist? What am I?....
I'm going to go with 52-25-5 for 109 points. Why? Because it's a fun numerical record and (interesting fact) no NHL team has ever gone 52-25-5 in a season. Usually teams have more OTLs, but since the Oilers were so averse to OT last year I think they can do it.
Or...does it not matter as long as they make the playoffs, and let's wait and see what they do in the playoffs...yada yada yada...
Or do you think they crash and burn because of the defence and goaltending and you'll have given up on them by Christmas?....
....Only to be pulled right back in by the trade deadline
Also as an FYI before you vote in the poll, since 2013-14 only 6 teams have finished the season with more than 115 points. Also, since then the two teams to qualify for the playoffs with the least number of points (in a full 82 game season) were Minnesota with 87 points in 2015-16, and Colorado with 90 points in 2018-19.
Anyways, here's hoping for a great season!
