By playing less games than the other teams.

I believe the team requested a concession to allow McDavid to attend his Walk Of Fame induction in December, which ended up leaving the Oilers being off for basically the entire first week of December.

Because we had an 'easier' schedule than the rest of the league.

Why isn't everyone else behind?

5 games in 7 days to finish the season. At least Rogers Place is booked April 20 with an Asake concert so the league can't make them play their first playoff game on opening night on 2 days rest after the final sprint to finish the season.

We had lots of long breaks this year. Not sure why, but it was something most of us new would be a potential issue come April heading into the playoffs.

It’s a giant conspiracy by big phar……..Bettman to tire out a Canadian team before the playoffs

 

[daver]

If you think about, aren't we all behind?

 

[Czechboy]

I think a better topic would be how we are in the playoffs and how the HF mains owe us a big apology.lol

Or how we can even clinch the division which would be hillarious.

I don't think we do and only care about playoffs but it would be funny.

I'm all for what's funny, though now you have clinched, wouldn't it be funnier if you still found a way to miss the playoffs.

 

[GeeoffBrown]

I predict that they will get to 82

Kane and Perry go boozing and get the whole team suspended.

Pissy Leon complained to the Soros' paid schedule maker before the season started.

Na, naw naw naw skilla your using that old outdated maths formula. You gotta get hip with The Steiner Boolean Pythagorean Triples equation bruv. It accounts for all the variables in a season.

Whoever the f*** that is....I thank him

Jokes aside....what a terrible schedule to end the regular season...NHL never ceases to amaze me.

 

[gretzkyoilers]

McDavid had his fiancé help draft the Oilers schedule....

 

[UrbanImpact]

Teams refused to visit Edmonton between the months of November to March

The league will make them play an afternoon game BEFORE the concert.
