It’s a nice change of pace writing this blog as opposed to the last two seasons when I had to write about what went wrong for the Edmonton Oilers.

The Oilers beat LA in game seven 2-0 to move onto the second round last night.

In the process the Oilers exorcised their demons of the past two seasons from when they were defeated in the first round by Chicago and Winnipeg respectively. Third time’s the charm, I guess.
