How did the 'pillow fight' Pacific Division get this hard for the Edmonton Oilers?
In late March, Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid said, “A lot of teams are fortunate to play in this division. It’s a bit of a pillow fight right now.” He was correct; the division title was a three-way futility fight well into the final two weeks of the regular season.McDavid’s words land a little differently now. The Pacific was a farce in 2025-26, with the Oilers finishing in second place. If the team is unable to get past the Anaheim Ducks, does that make the Oilers one of the softest teams in a pillowy soft division?Advertisementالمصدر: The Athletic | Source: The Athletic
