how exactly does this make the oilers a cup team?

In fact, we have a good team. That this terrible misunderstanding is happening now, this black streak will soon stop, I am inclined to believe that Holland is largely responsible for these failures. Why do you put the two best centers in the league in the same three and exploit these two half a game to exhaustion until their legs start to fall off. Tippet has already tortured to hope for two stars, and not to trust the rest of the team, although the rest of the guys show constant support with goals scored, created from half-moments. Tippet became a hostage to his fears.

Edmonton currently sits at #15 OA, They're a long ways from winning the cup this year. They wont even gets past either Florida or Tampa for the cup.

You know the playoffs are unpredictable, who would have guessed that Tampa would lose in the first round to Columbus a couple of years ago, after a phenomenal regular season. Or who could have guessed that St. Louis would take the cup in that season when they were dancing at the bottom of the standings in the middle of the regular season. I don't deny that Tampa and Florida are on fire right now and look like solid teams. I just want to say that Edmonton is not as bad as it may seem from the outside in recent months. This is truly a terrible set of circumstances. And I think a large share of the blame for this lies with Tippet, for instead of systematically playing even triples, we have a convulsive leapfrog with the composition. He took all the stars, put them in one top three and exploits them to the point of exhaustion, that is, instead of calmly and systematically playing threes, he does not have confidence in the whole team, but hopes for two stars, and as a result, by the middle of the season they have already run out of steam and already worn out. And of course, our goalkeepers are weird, okay, we are used to Koskinen's eccentricity, but our hope Skinner also brought a goal into his own net in the last game, it's amazing. There was also a series of injuries in defense. In general, what is happening now with Edmonton is a terrible combination of circumstances, I am sure the situation will improve in the near future. And most importantly, Tippett needs to reconsider his views on the team and become more loyal to the players, and not just to two stars, otherwise Tippett will be fired.
