Playoffs are on, all I can say is I hope the Blackhawks win against Vancouver.
I say the Bruins will win the cup this year.
As a Oiler fan the only things I can look forward to now is a 1st round draft pick and the hopes of making the playoffs next season. The fact we beat the best team int he league twice shows the Oilers can be good in time. Whether the Canucks tried or not doesn't matter, that just goes to show the Canucks are not a championship team. You think the Red Wings ever hold back against basement dwelling teams, hell no!
I like that the Oilers are under dogs, that i the way they should always be. in the 80s they were underdogs against the Islanders because they were too young, then they knocked them off the pedestal. When the great one left everyone though the Oilers days were numbered but they won their 5th cup without him (most people don't know that). No one gave Oilers a chance in both 97 and 98 as the lowest seeded team against the heavily stacked Stars (97) and Avalanche (98) but they beat them. No one gave Oilers a chance in 06 when they faced the Red Wings again, 8th seed against the 1st seed. Oilers went to the finals and though they lost they still made a good run.
Oilers suck now but what goes around comes around. It may take a few years but they will be a dangerous team in time.
