The Edmonton Oilers’ Untold Secret: What Keeps the Hype Alive Year After Year?
Go to other sports like the NFL, and all you heard during the Patriots Dynasty years was that you can’t bet against Tom Brady and Bill Belichick. The same thing is being said in Kansas City with Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs. But like the Chiefs, the Oilers are an average team with a couple of good pieces.
As Connor McDavid told the media at the end of last season, this is an average team with high expectations. The same thing can be said this season about the Edmonton Oilers. The pressure is on them to win now. This is a big year in Edmonton. Everyone knows what is at stake with McDavid’s new extension kicking in, and next July 1st, he is eligible for an extension.
