I think Edmonton is closer to missing the playoffs than they are to winning the Cup.
But maybe that's just me. - GreatGigInTheSky
I think they get a lot of heat but hey did make the conf finals last year and play in a bit of an easier division. They're a consistent playoff team and have a couple of centres that can carry them when fully healthy. They'll get some decent looks at the finals with some luck.

They got all the luck last season and got swept by the only good team they faced.
McJesus and Drystltieilieale are great and all, but the rest of the team is a complete nothing burger.

I sincerely doubt any of you have read a single lick of Poe and just watched The Simpsons and think you're a Richardensian scholar. - AdamFrench
Poe and Richardens were very different. Is this covered by the Simpsons? I think the Simpsons is a great show but I never watched it regularly. I was a joint English/History major in undergrad but didnโt study Poe. I did read his great poem Canadian Railroad Trilogy though.

I see Edmonton making the playoffs.
Campbell isn't perfect, but he's miles better than Mike Smith. That's bound to help alot. - Scabeh
Pacific Division should too. Campbell is a very emotional goalie who can use that positive emotion when things are going well. When things turn bad he can get down on himself and things can get away from him. *Checks Oilers D* Enjoy the money, Jack.

I'm sure he'll enjoy the money and the 2nd round of the playoffs.

Nah, they proved last year that they're a solid playoff team in the west for the foreseeable future. - 13sundin13
They proved that they can beat a team that really shouldn't be in the playoffs (in 7 games) and another team that got caught in the emotions of the Battle of Alberta and played directly into their game.
Once they faced an actual team, they got decimated.
