Edmonton was pretty fortunate there with that game winner. Centering pass in front with nobody there but a defender and it goes off his skate and in. Good third period of action regardless, but I thought that the Ducks had stormed back, seized the momentum and were going to close it out eventually.
So, an Oilers fan at work came into my office today and asked me if I'm rooting for the Oilers. My response:
that may warrant a call to HR dash
Wife has already started swearing for game two
While I'd rather the Oilers not keep progressing, I also want Randy Carlyle to take an L at everything in life so I'm not so against how this has gone.
The hockey gods are firmly with the Oilers these days.
The NHL Marketing Dept are firmly with the Oilers these days.
