Since then the Oilers have fired their coach, had an almost historic win streak, and had played some of the best defensive hockey of the McDavid era. This changed almost everyone's opinions back to the Oilers being serious threats, and silenced even the harshest of critics.
Ryan Whitney admits that he was wrong about the Edmonton Oilers and that he shouldn't have been so harsh on them, but says that he'll fully be back in on Edmonton only if they make it to the Eastern Conference.
Whitney is known for flip-flopping with the public about the Edmonton Oilers and he has done this too many times for it to really matter, but it's interesting to see how the Oilers can push even the most stubborn of people to have to go back on their words.
