yey ...the oilers did it ....we took out the number one seeds red wings.

this is the next round

ottawa senators vs [buffalo or philadelphia
new jersey devils vs [carolina or montreal]

..................

edmonton oilers vs san jose sharks
colorado avalanche vs [calgary or anaheim]

OK. The Wings bite it. I'm glad for Alberta.

Looking ahead....
Sens will beat Buffalo in 6
Devils will continue to roll...I'm going out on a limb, even with a missing Koivu, Montreal in 6

...............
Oilers are firing on all Pistons and can stop even Thorton and crew, but it will go 7 (I do love my ex Wild Roli)

I think maybe the Avalanche (I do love my ex Wild- Brunette, Laaksonen, and where-you-goin' Jimmy Doud?!?!) will be able to wear down Calgary....? But its a toss

Dang it Predators! They seemed to have some promise early in the season.. oh well, Nashville isn't exactly known as a hockey town anyway.

Yow! this is a strange playoffs.
Glad to see Oilers win in triple OT to stop the 3-0 patterns...

yeah, me too ...i still think ottawa will fight back and take this series 4-3.
i'd like to think the same about the avalanche, but maybe anaheim is too strong to lose 4 in a row ...carolina is superior to the devils, no question there.
...you know, it's looking more possible everyday that the oilers can actually lift the cup... it actually paid 200/1 at the turn of the year

well how about them oilers, they're really looking good now aren't they.

not only is it now possible to lift the cup, but we're looking kinda like the favorites right now, especially if we win tonight.

now that's not all that bad thinking we were 200/1 just a few months back.

i did call this one, way b4 the playoffs

I am rooting for the Oilers! They are a scruffy bunch. Roli is getting his chance of a lifetime and rising to the occasion. Yea! I hope they can shake the flu bugs...

And even though hes a duck (!), I do like to see young Dustin Penner doing well. Big hardworking prairie boy.

Even after one game, I bet it will be Buffalo out of the east.

we did it

the edmonton oilers are in the stanley cup final

we took out the duck easily 4-1

the oilers ow get to sit back and study carolina closely and get ready to lift the cup.....

Great! they can get healthy....as healthy as possible... but stay sharp and hungry. Go Oilers! Go Roli!

Ha! I saw a news piece about the bars in Edmonton running out of kegs.

dangerous bunch aren't they

Beer soaked Western Canadians blowing into long plastic horns? :)

so, carolina take out the sabres and will meet my oilers in the stanley cup final. this should be as excting as it gets ...gooooo pronger

Go Oilers! Go Roli!
