Ten Reasons To Keep Watching The 2009-10 Edmonton Oilers

It's been a rough season in Edmonton this year. The Oilers are the worst team in the NHL and it's really not even close, sitting with 56 points. The closest team to them would be the Toronto Maple Leafs, who have 16 more points over at the bottom of the Eastern Conference.

Head over to C&B for the entire list, and join them as they watch the Oilers for the rest of this heartbreaking season.
