This again? Ummm... must win? We're going to Regina? This game matters more for the score prediction contest? Join Survivor XL?

Must lose? We're 7 points out of a playoff spot with 7 games to go and four teams to leapfrog. The post-season is a complete fantasy at this point.
Meanwhile, there's four teams within three points of us behind us. If all of those teams were to pass us, it would give us the 5th best lottery odds. So maybe the draft lottery can be our new Stanley Cup. "I’ll say that there’s no other guy in hockey today that is still working in the game that has won more Draft Lotteries than me. So I think I know a little bit about winning, if there’s ever a concern.”
I'd still like to see a lot of McPoints, and some Draisaitl goals...

My biggest fear at this point is that the Oilers finish with like 82 points and a -40 goal differential and think they weren't that far off because they were only 5-7 points out of a playoff spot.
Oilers Goal Differential
17/18: 234 GF / 263 GA (-29)
18/19: 232 GF / 274 GA (-42)
19/20 (82 game pace): 257 GF / 254 GA (+3) in 64 games
2021 (82 game pace):269 GF / 235 GA (+34) after 38 games
