Stanley Cup finalists in the 2006 playoffs, failures in the next season. It's the early 1990s all over again. It must be right time to fire the head coach MacTavish and the GM Lowe now.
After they traded Chris Pronger to the Anaheim (Mighty) Ducks in the off-season and Ryan Smyth to the NY Islanders in the NHL 2006/07 season trade deadline. The Edmonton Oilers were are in a slump while the Ducks (the team the Oilers eliminated in the 2006 playoffs Western Conference finals) went straight to the Cup.

It's a sad time to be an Oilers fan.

Get the Edmonton Oilers mug.
A team that was legendary in the 80's winning 5 cups then sucked for 15 years before winning the western confrence in 2006 followed by a Ten year rebuild and then a return to the playoffs lead by the second coming Conor McDavid
