There is still magic left in Oil Town. Yes, those pesky Edmonton Oilers have advanced to the final four in the Stanley Cup Playoffs by edging out the San Jose Sharks 2-0.After the Sharks looked solid by winning games one and two, the Oilers stepped up their play and San Jose couldn't catch up. The Oilers won the last four games in the series.
This is not the skilled team of Gretzky, Messier, Kurri, Coffey, and Fuhr. This is a team that is surviving on hard work and leaving everything they have on the ice. They simply wanted it more than San Jose, and it showed.
Now the Oilers move on to take on those Anaheim "Mighty" Ducks. Anaheim has looked good so far in the playoffs, but with Oiler goalie and trade deadline pickup Dwayne Roloson on fire, and those aforementioned grinders working every single shift, they will be in for a battle.
Besides, it would be wonderful to see the Oilers get some revenge and knock out those Ducks who ousted my Flames in the first round. It doesn't sound like something a "Flames Fan" would say, but hey, these are the playoffs and the Oilers are the last Canadian team around.

Again Chad... NHL is city vs. city.
You are such a disgrace to Flames fans if you are cheering for Oilers. It doesn't matter if they are the only Canadian team left or not. It also doesn't matter if Oilers are playing a team that beat your sissy Flames. How can you ever call yourself a Flames fan and cheer for Oilers?
