The Edmonton Oilers are a team of extremes. Are they the 103 point team from 2016-17 or the 78 point team from 2017-18? Are they a return to form for general manager Peter Chiarelli or another step into his tragic descent into irrelevance? Are they the fiery chariot Connor McDavid will lead into the heavens, or the plummeting albatross wasting his prime years? Exactly how many of the Js are we supposed to pronounce in Puljujarvi?
The answers to all of those questions is probably “neither” (except the Chiarelli one, that’s probably the latter).
