I'm still in a state of shock that the Edmonton Oilers are winning, and are likely headed to the Stanley Cup final. I'm still trying to shake the old feeling. ingarined into me years ago, that if the Oilers make the playoffs at all, they just get bounced in the first round by Dallas or Colorado. But that was years ago, those teams are no longer contenders, and look where the Oilers are.

Amazing. They're scoring goals, their goaltending has peaked, and they're shutting down everyone's offence. They'll at least be in the final, and they have as good a shot as anyone of actually winning it all.

The hockey fan in me who couldn't be bothered to care much for the past 6 years, between losing teams, escalating salaries and boring, dump-n-chase hockey is enjoying himself tremendously, finally with something local worth getting excited about!
