Yeah Edmonton. Sure they were trapping, but whatever works. Detroit really didn't get anything going until the third but Roloson was solid and the Oiler's D did a good job of clearing rebounds.

About the series: IMO Edmonton facing Detroit was the best possible match-up for the Oilers. I don't understand why Detroit is being talked about as if they were unstoppable. They got to play Chicago, Columbus and St. Louis 8 times each. That's like 40+ points FOR FREE!!! Edmonton split the season series with them and has historically been a tough opponent for the Red Wings. For these reasons I think the Oilers have more than a good chance at stealing this series.

damn the habs blew the Canes. what a sick game.

I hope they get over themselves tho and stick to solid play and win the next one.

lol yeah i'm getting excited. But what a game! Huet was getting a little on the civ side of things there but damn...I've never yelled at a TV so much in my life (except maybe for the World Cup). Montreal definitely have more of a shot than the so called hockey "pundits" (especially the morons on ESPN) gave them credit for. I'd prefer to avoid Buffalo though when/if we advance. I'd give my left nut to be in Montreal for Wed and Fri's games. Best hockey city in the fucking world.

as long as we don't face new jersey

if we win, its gonna be either Ottawa, Nj or Buffalo. Buffalo its friggin hard, but totaly possible, Ottawa doable... NJ Brodeur is on fire.
