Grit & Glory: Celebrating 40 Years of the Edmonton Oilers

I saw this book in my library today and had a good chuckle. I mean, the Oilers sucked for the first couple years of their existence, they sucked for the last decade plus and they have as many sub-.500% seasons as ones where they’ve won more than they’ve lost. So, at best, it’s maybe 20 […]
