Anyone remember the days where we had no talent and nothing but heart and guts. What I'd give to be able to slot McDavid and Driasatl into our 1997- 2006 teams. We would be unbeatable.

In all seriousness, the ”heart and soul” has been missing in large part ever since that 06 run. Even leading up to that run, the Oilers were a team with low talent but huge heart and they were always at least in the mix for a playoff spot.
It was a vastly different time back then though. Nowadays there is a lot more sense of entitlement like playing in the NHL is their privilege and not something earned. Now obviously not all players are this way, just pointing out a common theme throughout society and the workforce today.
Would be a nice change to see an Oiler team playing with heart again.
