Hey if you would prefer to be the Oilers basd on what happened this season and playoffs that's your call. Maybe you preferred to be the Habs before this year too I dunno.
P.s. it would be a WCF Losers banner, not a WCF banner.
I actually think the Oilers have a good coach finally.

Leafs&Caps Since 1982™
Their coach will be out of the league in 2-3 years. They need to fix that D and get a real goalie.
Give me the WCF flag over the "best Respect in the handshake line per 60 in the playoffs" banner. Both meaningless but atleast as a fan I get to see more games with the former.
Only things Leafs have definitively proven is they are a better regular season team than the Oilers. They have not proven they are more of a Stanley Cup Contender. You need feats to prove that and the only feats the Leafs have is blowing a 3-1 leads to Montreal and showing an inability to close out elimination games.

Except Matthews and marner don't have that playoffs gear. They are just playing the regular season level.
Oilers goaltending is much worse than the Leafs.
Oiler depth is much worse than the Leafs.

No surprise that when the Oilers faced a real team they got embarrassed.

They also showed they are a better playoffs team than the Oilers
The Oilers got demolished when they finally faced an actual contender. The Leafs were the better team when they did.
P.s. it's not even a wcf flag

If the Leafs need to take lessons from a team that had to go 7 against a poor team missing Doughty, and the goalie in the 2nd round handing them a series, than we have problems. If anything Oilers need to match the effort Leafs showed against a potential dynasty.
Colorado in 2 was more accurate
I am not sure what that even means. So you are saying LA and Calgary are not "real' teams?
We had 115 points and Flames had 111.... ?

It'll be a shame if Point and Naz are both out for that series. I also think the Avs will be way too fast for Tampa, so Vas needs to be on his game
Avs vs Rangers would be a good one as well because the Rangers don't mind trading chances with that beast in net.

If you think Matthews and Marner were playing regular season hockey against Tampa, you didn't want properly. Good on those guys making Markstorm put an Oilers jersey on, but Oilers didn't really progress.
Why didn't we beat Habs then?
Oilers got demolished in WCF. That's final 4. There's no shaming in gettting demolished in final 4
Shame, however, when you are 0-5 in closing out games in round 1 of the playoffs.
Doesn't matter your opponent are, you had multiple games to close out
Oilers may not be the better team, but they had better results then we did. At the end of the day, that's what matters.

For sure but coaching can cover up a flawed roster for so long. Todd Mac did that for a year.
We got embarrassed by Montreal and Columbus. Actual contenders, I don’t think so. What makes you think we wouldn’t have choked again against LA or especially Calgary? This team has a habit of playing down to their opponent.

Losing in the WCF is an accomplishment that matters?

Nurse just said there are no participation awards. That sure goes against the narratiive that Oilers achieved something.
The flames aren't chopped liver. That is a 50 win team and Markstrom got dummied by two players who went 2ppg in the playoffs. Actual contenders, pretenders, teams that wouldn't make the playoffs under normal circumstances the Leafs don't win against anyone. I'm not even saying the Oilers are better team. I'm saying let's stop poo pooing them to make ourselves feel better. Oilers made it to the conference finals, Leafs haven't been out of the first round in almost two decades.
You called is the WCF flag.
How many series wins did the Oilers have this year compared to us?
When you haven’t won a series in almost 20 years, that would be an accomplishment. And lets cut the bs, guys like you and zeke would be here 24/7 telling us how much amazing progress the Leafs would have made under your god’s guidance if they reached the conference final. Hell even if they won a round. We all know it.
Not winning a round in 20 years but apparently we are progressing?
If you havne't won a round in 20 years, WCF is stanly cup to you
They made it that far, we lost to the Habs Columbus and Tampa
I guess going from making the playoffs to WCF is not an accomplishment or progress at all like Oilers did
What is progress is that we broke franchise records in regular season points. Got it

Exactly. The goal is to win the cup. You think Avs will celebrate a finals berth if they lose? It shows how bad the Oilers are that they are getting credit for a reaching the conference finals only to get embarrassed by a good team as they have for years.
I will envy any team that 'flukely, luckily, stumble' their way to win a series then to go to the stanly cup final 4
Yes, I am serious. and don't call me Shirely
I don't think the Rangers series would be as exciting, even if it could be competitive.
I expect Colorado to carry the play vs whoever they face, but they give up chances, especially counter opportunities and both teams in the east are string counter offenses
You are right. It's cup or nothing
So where do we stand again? Some teams get closer to cups then we do
Tell me more about our Messiah and how are team is so great..... Because I get told how we broke franchise records in wins.....
All of sudden those stuff doesn't matter you say? mmmmm
