I've got the Sens with 2226 points to the Oilers 2019 and finishing higher in the overall standings 19 of 28 years. The Oilers finished better than the Sens for their first four years, the last 4 years, and 2008-09. That's scary bad.

You may feel that way, but that's certainly not the case. Their first few years they were terrible, but then they made the playoffs 11 years in a row, a SCF berth, 6 100+ point seasons, 4 division titles, a President's trophy. No - we have by far been worse.

Ugh...it's never fun remembering how much worse the Oilers have been than just about anyone else.
Would actually be an interesting to see what the numbers are from the start of the Lowe era and from the start of the salary cap era.
The worst is that we were always told that the second the salary cap was in, we would be able to be really competitive again, because it was just that teams like Detroit, Dallas and Colorado got to spend so much more than us that held us back.
In the end, it wasn't just the money...
