I Swear This Is My Last Two Cents About The Oilers....

Even though I haven't been posting about them on my blog much, (I don't really post anything on here much), I feel compelled to rant about one thing.

That thing I must rant about? the Edmonton Oilers Appreciation Day that was held on Thursday. I don't have a problem with the celebration itself (except for the super smart person who scheduled it in the middle of a work day), but I do have a problem with Kevin Lowe's speech...well the part of it where he stated that "We don't generally celebrate failures". I'd just like to know what failure he is referring to. This is a team that struggled with the last bit of the season and barely made it into the play offs. They knocked out the #1 team (full of old men mind you) in the NHL, then took out the San Jose Sharks then Coach Bombay's Mighty Ducks in 5 freaking games people!!! Sure it looked like Carolina had us beat, we've been down before, but never out. We came back from elimination to force a Game 7 that left The Cup up for grabs. In the end, Carolina beat us, but going from a maybe playoff contender to Game 7 of the freaking Stanley Cup Finals?! and this is failure?! WTF people! WTF?! While game 7 didn't have the results we were all hoping for, The Oilers stepped up and proved that they are in fact a kick ass hockey club and are no doubt going to "Bring It" if you will for next year. Only 10 short weeks until training camp people.
